You can’t have missed the news. It’s everywhere, all day. 17 kids dead in yet another tragic school shooting. You can’t escape it no matter where you look. It’s a constant reminder of our failing society. And while you would hope a nation would rise above, work together, and find SOME way to prevent this from happening again, we won’t. We don’t. Instead we spend our days bickering about whose fault it was. The boy’s parents, the gun, the FBI, the schools, the police…
Shopping consignment sales is a ton of fun, but everyone knows kids clothes cost money. Buying new clothes every season can be hard on the budget. One way to re-coup some of that money is by consigning their outgrown clothes.
As my children have grown I’ve sold clothes, shoes, baby equipment, toys, car seats, baby carriers, you name it! I have found that sometimes, you can get enough to cover everything you buy in a season, and a little extra spending money!
In this second half of my two part blog series (first post here), I will share tips I have gathered while consigning my kid’s stuff.
Who doesn’t love a good bargain? The season of bargains is upon us my friends, and I am
so.

Two of my favorite things packed into a few short months!
Consignment sales and Clearance Racks!
Stores will be purging their winter lines and making room for spring wardrobes to display. This means big savings for consumers.
Clearance racks are usually a gold mine this time of year!
Consignment sales offer a different approach. Here you will find gently loved children’s clothes that can be purchased at a fraction of the retail price. As quickly as kids go through clothes, this is a deal like no other!
In this two part blog post I want to offer you some tried and true trips on making the most out of consignment sales. The first being how to make the most money as a consignor, and the second, how to score big on clothing deals at the sales.
Today I will be sharing with you how to maximize your dollar at these sales.
Alright y’all! First tutorial it is!
It’s a rainy day here in the sticks and I’m going to spend it with you, sharing how to create the coveted reverse canvas.
This is one of my personal favorites due to the versatility of it. They can be made to fit with any décor. I just learned about these a few months ago and they have since taken the craft world by storm. They are a little easier project for those intimidated by wood crafts. Reverse canvases are also cost effective. You will find that the basic wood frame hidden inside is surprisingly decorative. Just add a little stain and you instantly have a rustic, barn wood kind of feel. You can also paint the frames and canvases to match virtually anything.
