fourth st payphone: Just Between Friends Sale

I had an opportunity to check out the Just Between Friends Sale yesterday. It was awesome! I've never been to a consignment sale on the level as this one. Like I said a few days ago, I've been searching Craigslist for a few things. I found just about everything I had on my Elinor list plus more for only $125!

I was a little overwhelmed when I first walked into the hall but I quickly realized everything was completely organized and grouped together with big easy to see/read signs. Better than most actual stores I go into. People were walking in with Grandma carts, wagons, huge bags and even laundry baskets with belts tied to the end so they could drag them. I was holding a tiny purse. I headed straight to the bikes/cars and found the Step 2 push buggy I've been looking for for $15. After seeing everyone with their wagons, I didn't know what I was going to do with all of my goods. When I turned to scan the room I noticed holding section. You get a number matched with your things and can keep bringing more finds to add to your pile. How easy is that?? So I checked the buggy at the holding area and grabbed an outdoor slide for $5 on my way. My favorite find was the wooden kitchen set for only $25! Another big item I've been searching Craigslist for a reasonably priced one.

All of this! even scored the area rug for Elinor's playroom.

I didn't look much at the clothes since we are still pretty stocked with hand me downs but my glance through I saw multiple coats and dresses that looked brand new that I really wanted to grab. I mostly stuck with my list. Oh and guys, Halloween costumes! We went so overboard with Halloween last year that we didn't really have any ideas this year. We said maybe a bumble bee...maybe tinkerbell or minnie mouse. Well, the first rack of costumes I looked at...bee...tinkerbell...minnie...all in a row and all her size. I grabbed the bee and tinkerbell.

I'm lucky I was able to fit all my finds in the car!

If you are in the Philly area plan a trip to the Just Between Friends Sale this weekend and check it out. Today it is $3 admission but Friday it is free! Friday is also a perfect day to bring the kids and beat the crowds and lines. There will be even be face painting from 11-2 for free!
