Here I sit waiting for clothes to dry. Normally this would be for our regular laundry, but not today. Today I am trying to get stuff ready to sell in a local consignment sale. My goal is to sell enough stuff to break even. I try not to buy more clothes for my kids than what I can make selling their old stuff. My husband does not understand this he thinks I should make a profit every time, and asks me why I buy stuff at the sale. So twice a year I find myself explaining that the kids must have clothes to wear and this allows me to buy stuff on the cheap. Why is this so difficult to understand. Anyway, by the end of the day I will poked my fingers with so many safety pins they will be numb. There are times when I wonder if it's worth it. I've decided this time I'm going to stop when I run out of hangers and rest of the clothes are going to the local thrift store.
OOOHhh! the clothes are dry time to go poke my fingers some more.

Oh,you're brave! After the first poke, I'd be done. I don't mind needles at all, but poking my fingers is an entirely different thing.
Now you've reminded me that I have a stack of Jill's pretty cloth diapers that I need to take pictures of so I can eBay them. They've only been sitting there for, oh, three years!
There's a consignment shop over on Bob Wallace. That's where I always sold D & E's clothes when they were little. I'd just keep a running tab there with my sales and my purchases. I always either broke even or made a little money. The place is called Play It Again and the owner is Sylvia. I highly recommend it.
PLUS they tag and price your stuff for you, so no nasty pin pricks in yo po wittle fingers!
I'm familiar with Play it again. I've shopped there a few times. I didn't know they priced your stuff for you though. I'm not taking nearly all the stuff I need to be rid of so I may take it there.
