From this page you can select which items you would like to be in the current sale... its that simple!! ***If you do not re-activate these items they will not be allowed to be sold at the upcoming sale.

On your tags you will have the option to:

- Donate your unsold items to a local charity after the sale ends.
- Choose to have your items sold at half price during our 1/2-off sale on Saturday.
Place all garments on hangers with the hook facing to the left (so it looks like a question mark). If you have a set, safety pin the set together before placing on the hanger to ensure they stay together. Keep those cute hats, booties, and pants with their partners!
ONLY seasonal items will be accepted.
A maximum of 300 items per consignor will be accepted.
Attach your tag to the top right of each garment with a 1-inch or larger safety pin OR you may use a tagging gun.
Two piece outfits must be hung with the shirt on the hanger as normal, then flip the hanger around and pin the pants or skirt to the back of the hanger (through the shirt as well). This allows for both pieces to be seen easily and prevents pants/skirts from being lost.
All pants, skirts, and bottoms of any kind must be pinned to the hanger.
Clothing items with accessories (i.e., booties, hats, hair bows) may be pinned on the front of the matching item, preferably secured in a zip-top bag.
Toys and equipment must be securely tagged with packaging tape.
Items containing small parts must be placed in zip-top bags with tags taped to the outside, then with the bags taped to the larger items.
All battery operated toys MUST include working batteries.
Shoes will be limited to your 10 highest quality pairs. Tags must be taped with packing tape to the bottom of one of the shoes. All shoes must be pinned, zip tied, laced, or bagged together.
Small items (bibs, onesies, socks, etc.) should be placed in zip-top bags with the tags taped to the outside of the bags.
All baby gear and furniture must be assembled. WE CAN NOT ACCEPT ANY ITEMS MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLD. Small pieces must be placed in zip-top bags with tags taped to the outside, then with the bags attached to the large items.
We strongly suggest that books, movies, computer games, etc. be packed in zip-top bags with tags taped to the outside. Otherwise, books may become damaged as tape is pulled off at checkout.
All items will go through an inspection process during your scheduled drop-off appointment. Items tagged or prepared incorrectly will be returned to you. Please remember that ONLY children's items and maternity clothing are accepted.
