Items Accepted

Children's Clothes:

We will accept children’s spring and summer clothing sizes newborn thru pre-teen.
In our experience, infant sizes 0-9 months do not sell as well as sizes 12mos and up. Therefore, choose your BEST items from these sizes to put in the sale. Smocked, appliqued, and holiday outfits in sizes 0-9 months sell better than average layette items. Limit: 20 pc. per size / per gender for sizes 0-9 mos.
Clothes should be clean, neatly pressed, and on hangers with the hook facing to the left like a question mark. The tag should be pinned to the upper right side of the garment.
Pants need to be pinned to the hanger at the waist so that both sides may be viewed without unpinning the item. Please pin correctly, pants/shorts that slide from side to side on the hanger will not be accepted.
All infant sleepers will need to be placed on hangers. We will no longer accept sleepers in zip loc bags. *Remember that sleepers sell better when group together in sets of 2 or more. Place each individual sleeper on a hanger then rubber band the hangers together. Limit: 10 sleepers total.

Shoes:

10 pair limit per gender per consignor.
Only seasonal children’s shoes will be accepted (No bedroom slippers).
All shoes must be in “LIKE NEW” condition. We will be very selective! No stains, scuff marks, dirty laces, etc.

Secure shoes by tying the shoes together and place them in a zip loc bag. Please attach the tag to the outside of the bag. Zip ties work great!

We accept socks, tights, hats, & hair bows.
Items need to be placed in a clear zip loc bag with the tag taped to the outside of the bag.

Infant/Kids/Teen Bedding & Room Decor:

We accept infant and kids room décor; lamps, picture frames, wall art, rugs, & bedding.
