If you need fireworks for the 4th of July, I have the perfect spot for you to buy them. You NEED to go to see my friends Tamara and Jesse at their fireworks tent at the corner of Long Hollow Pike and Caldwell Drive in Goodlettsville. Their tent is behind Volunteer State Bank and across from Walgreens and has that adorable banner that says "Buy Fireworks From My Daddy!"
Why do you need to go there?
Well, the most important reason is that Tamara and Jesse are hardworking, have four kids, and after being in Murfreesboro for 5 years, their tent got moved to Goodlettsville where they know no one. They will tell you if the fireworks you are thinking about buying aren't that great and take the time to ask you what you are looking for instead of just getting you to buy the most expensive thing.
The second most important reason is that if you go there and buy at least $25 worth of fireworks and mention you found out about them from me, they will register you for a $50 gift certificate to Encores and More North fall/winter children's consignment sale in August. How cool is that?
So go buy your fireworks from a local family and enter to win for the gift certificate for Encores North! HAPPY FOURTH!

Guess what I did yesterday?
I gave one of our wonderful VIP taggers a FULL carload of items for VIP tagging for the Fall 2009 sale. Yes, I know it's early, but not only was it great to clean out my house, but I want to know it's done.
If you are planning on using VIP tagging this year, why not start pulling now? We tagged so many items for so many people in the spring that we are making a few changes for the Fall sale.
First, any clothing items will need to be fall/winter for this sale. They will also need to be freshly laundered and checked for stains, rips, etc. PRIOR to having them picked up by the tagger. If the tagger finds anything outdated, stained, or damaged, it will be immediately be donated. We will not be giving back items that didn't meet our standards to people who use VIP tagging. In the Spring, our taggers spent hours going through items to make sure they weren't stained, etc. and ended up giving back tons of bags and boxes of items that weren't in good shape. To save time, any of those items not accepted will automatically be sent to donate.
Second, any toys you send to be tagged need to have all their pieces AND have working batteries. If the toy does not have batteries, it will be donated. As you know, batteries are EXPENSIVE and we can't afford to put new batteries in all the toys. This is a great job for your kids so have them check the toys and let you know what pieces are part of it!
Third, SHOES! We have had some YUCKY shoes brought in. Here's the criteria on shoes that ALL shoes for the Fall sale need to meet: 1. no scuffs on top. If they are nubuck boys shoes and the toes are rubbed off, we won't take them. 2. If they are tennis shoes that stink and have stains, we won't take them. Shoes need to be in excellent, like new condition. If you have shoes that aren't acceptable, feel free to bring them in and donate them, but please don't be offended if we don't take them.
Have fun getting your stuff out and don't forget to take advantage of VIP tagging. It's a lifesaver for me!

Restock
Just a reminder that restock drop-off is Monday-Wednesday 12-6. We are still DESPERATELY in need of large items including outdoor toys, strollers, bassinets, toddler beds, train tables, bookshelves, etc. We also REALLY need boy clothing of any size and girls size 4 and up clothing. Of course, we will take any children's item during restock, these are just the items we need the most.
No appointment needed, just get busy tagging and come on down! Items brought in during restock sell just as well as the items that were brought in during normal drop-off as we do have people that come and shop every day!

Wednesday Night Deals
Well, drop off is officially over and I am honestly just amazed. My hubby joked for years about how he would love to see what it would look like if we could get a space big enough, have a tagging system in place and enough workers. Well, God heard our desires and prayers and this is the result.
When I say that this sale is going to be amazing, I'm not just saying it to get people there. I really believe it. The selection of items is just simply a bit overwhelming, everything is SO organized, and we were SO picky when it came to stains, etc. so I really hope you will find that you are looking through the best items available.
Here's my pick for Wednesday Night Deals. Next post will have the WINNERS of the 3 $25 gift certificates.
1. Life size Dora doll (yes, we got another one in) $10 (they are $100 new at Walmart)
2. Cozy Coupe $15
3. Bob Ironman Jogging Stroller $150 (these retail for upwards of $300+) I personally have a Bob Revolution Jogger and it's my favorite stroller EVER.
4. Britax Marathon Car Seat (looks brand new) $150
5. LOADS of Leapster Games $6 each
