 Well receiving is now over & we have an amazing assortment of things; its going to be a very exciting sale. Of course right now the store looks like Hurricane Issac just came through. I've attached a photo of all the shoes we have. I have no idea how I'm going to sort & display all these shoes, but I'll figure it out!! We'll definitely be laboring this Labor Day weekend. It may look like a mess now, but by Tuesday night it'll look spectacular. |

 We just finished our last day of receiving. Everything went really well with the new appointment system, but now, we must make order out of the absolutely incredible amount of things that have been brought in. I've included a picture of the MOUNDS of shoes we've gotten in. Somehow we'll have to sort through them, organize and display them. I'm not quite sure how we're going to do that, but we'll figure it out. Our housewares section has really taken off. |

AFTER BEFORE
Getting ready for the sale is never fun. Its dirty and hot, but I'm always amazed at how we can transform a place (and we've had somenastyplaces) into a store. We start out with an empty shell that smells musty & has LOTS of spider webs, and with a lot of elbow grease turn it into a welcoming place. |

Believe it or not, there is a convention for people who run children's consignment sales! Heidi & I attended the Savvy Sale Owners convention (I know, its a terrible name) in Charlotte, NC in early June. We met people from all over the country. We learned a lot, and I think some people learned some things from us. After the convention we both felt like we're running the sale in a healthy organized way, but there were definitely some things we learned about that we'd like to implement. |

  Today was moving day. It's a horrible day; long, dirty, hot, painful. All three of us (Heidi, Mary Ward & I) hate this day. But it has to be done. So early this morning we picked up a big u-haul, hired some guys from Labor Finders, and met at the storage unit. Next time you're at the sale, just look around, everything you see in there; every rack, table, box, sign, trash can, we moved there from somewhere else. |
