I have to admit, I love a good consignment sale. I am not good at digging, but I love to go and get staples like pajamas that I hate paying $15 for. Instead, I can get a sleeper for $1. I mean, they sleep in it, who's really going to know if it's old and not the latest. I don't just buy pajamas, I buy anything that is the right price and the right size that I like. I don't go overboard because we have gotten lots of hand me downs (thanks Andrea and Bobbie) plus Nana loves to buy things for her little boy. I just hate the thought of buying new, when he's only going to where it a short time and then it's packed away, handed down or sold. Also, after being in Malawi and seeing what little they have, it really reinforces the idea of not spending money on stuff like that when stuff is available just as good at discount prices.
At the last consignment sale, I spent $75. I bought lots of pajamas, books and even a back pack hiking thingy to put Dylan in (what are those things called). I thought I did pretty well. Check out the loot....(books and hiking thing not pictured)
Once home, I put the books on Dylan's book shelf. He was already in bed, so he would have to see them the following day. The next day, he was going through his books and pulled out this book...
He dropped it and ran away from it. It scared him, he didn't know what to think of the googly eyes, but now it's one of his favorite books.

I love consignment stores, I have gotten some great stuff for work at consignment stores. We have a good amount in Zionsville and Indianapolis area. I am even selling some stuff at a consignment store. PLUS its good for the environment because perfectly good stuff doesnt go into the landfill.
Way to go Stephanie!!!
