Day 4 of Drop-Off: Brea's Favorite Things

Yeah, I'm pooped.

We officially hit a record today: 271 consignors dropped off in one day. Insane. I'm truly sorry for those of you that arrived between 4-6pm. I promise we had no wait for racks earlier in the week, but EVERYONE decided to drop off tonight. It was nuts, but it still worked and the longest anyone waited was an hour. THANKS for all the patience!

Also, a HUGE shout out to our AMAZING workers. It always shocks me at how many people literally show up wanting to help. They don't realize that I ask God to watch out for us and he literally dumps people in our laps to help us get that place organized.

Ok, so here's the facts: so far, we have 10 cribs. over 30 pack-n-plays. over 100 strollers. over 10 outdoor toys including play houses, slides, activity centers, etc. we have more clothes than anyone could ever need, but I know we will sell most of them. The shoes are top notch, seriously. I snagged a pair of Merrell tennis shoes for M.E. today for $10. My other favorite find was a Mini Boden coat for M.E. for $12. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mini Boden.

I'll also take this moment to share my philosophy on early shopping. There are 5 people that shop before the 3pm workers (the first worker shift). It is me (although I don't buy as much as you would think, I'm too busy working to shop), my little sister Ali, my mother in law Barbara, our sale manager Natalie and my best friend Angie. Natalie and Angie both work about 200 hours each so I figure the least I can do is let them shop early. I tell you this because I can't stand when you work a ton of hours at a sale, only to come back to shop and NOTHING you want is still there. I truly believe that those who work the hardest deserve to get the pick of the litter. We truly LOVE our workers so we want them to be able to walk away knowing that their hard work definitely paid off when it comes time to shop.

Ok, enough of the mushy stuff. Time to talk DEALS! Here's my top 5 favorite DEALS of the day. If you didn't get to drop off, no worries....you can bring items to restock on Sunday from 1-3 and Monday-Wednesday from 11-5. Stuff sells great next week too so don't hesitate to pull out items and start tagging.

Brea's Top 5:
1. Lelli Kelly high top tennis shoes girls size 12 $12 (these shoes are AMAZING!)
2. Ragazzi crib $150
3. Bumbo $8
4. loads of play food and stainless steel dishes for a play kitchen $5 each
5. BLUE wooden play kitchen with loads of accessories (and we all know how hard it is to find a boy colored kitchen!) $60

Stay tuned as I list my top five from our last day of APPOINTMENT ONLY drop off on Wednesday...and yes, all appointments are FULL! THANKS TO OUR GREAT CONSIGNORS!
