Kids Book Club at MKC!

I looooooooove books. A lifetime of reading from books new and old, looking at pictures, studying concepts. I am a bibliophile and my kids are, too.

What better way to boost self-esteem than to offer a book to a child? It opens up their imagination, teaches them, encourages then to do more, read more. And so I thought....

KIDS BOOK CLUB!

A) Buy a book/s from our store (as of today, 2/16/12).

B) Read the book (alone or with someone's help for beginning readers).

C) Come in and let me know that you read and get 1/2 off a new book to read!

We'll also collect names for a 1x month book give-away! (will be beginning reader level or beyond, kid's choice from our shelves!).

Let's see how this goes. I am very excited, are you?!

So much goodness! Too much?

Wow, we get the best stuff in from our consignors! Clothing, toys, books, strollers and so much more that makes browsing our store a pleasure for all.

2012 is going to be the year for steady entry. Prior years it was overwhelming shelves and shelves full of bags and longer wait times (I had a hard time saying No to drop offs, my bad!). This new year holds a new way of processing but we've reached a snag; I no longer have four to eight hands (helpers) so processing has slowed. You know when you have a plate of yummy goodness in front of you and it ends up that your eyes were bigger than your stomach? I have big plans to "do it all" but little time which means the store is simply full for now.


We need everyone to understand and respect our limits. We will have to delay additional drop offs for a while. When you call in next Wed (2/15) you will be given a drop off date beginning in MARCH.


Are our racks full? YES! Will we be entering this month? YES all the stuff brought in late last year and recently. Is it all good stuff? YES!

Will we be taking "winter" in March? No (only winterish items would be rain gear). Should you have to wait for us? No (many great resale stores are around, and paying forward to friends is always a good thing).

Should you still shop with us? YES!

See you soon,
Stephanie

Sale and some more redo's

Our sizing for kids have also grown...we go up to a 16/XL in clothing and a big 6-7 in shoes. Keep those kids, preteens and teenagers looking great for less!

Redos...love them! Found some GREAT displays (for free, of course) so maternity/newborn are getting a boost. So much fun to organize and with organizing comes a bit of disarray but if you know me then you know it'll be a fast change which, in the end, will be helpful to everyone!

We have BIG signs out front, we hope they catch your eye! They are temporarily covered; new true signage coming soon.

Redone!

I posted about the fact that we are not selling or recommending bumpers and we still get them donated to us so I challenged a friend to create something from the bumpers. She created a brand new quilt from two bumpers:

Backing fabric (flannel on sale at local fabric store)

One bumper created the center and another created the edging!

WOW!!! 

P.S. WE ARE SELLING THIS DELIGHTFUL QUILT IN THE STORE!


Please know when we have items that won't sell we do give them away (stained clothes for camps or daycares, bumpers for reuse, incomplete but safe toys, random "art" supplies, etc). Want to show everyone how you reuse items? Send us a photo and write up, we'd love to share!
