I first learned about this sale through my friend Kim who emailed our Sunday School Class about the one in Dallas. I went to the website and found out more and ended up volunteering this weekend for the event. Just let me tell you that I had so much fun! If you aren't familiar with Just Between Friends you can go here to find out more about it. It has to be one of the most brilliant ideas around. I'm kicking myself asking why didn't I think of this! So here's the low down: This even is 2x per year in Spring and Fall. There is one coming up in April in The Woodlands, you can go here to see more info. The event is usually held in a church and basically, people from the area bring in there gently used baby and children items from clothes (including maternity) to books, videos, toys, stroller, etc. If it's related to babies and mamas, it's there! Its set up like a really huge garage sale but that's really a bad way to describe it because everything there is super nice! It's all inspected by volunteers and they only accept things that are in good shape. The sale is totally run all by volunteers that the girls from JBF gather up by word of mouth. The sale starts on Friday for the public and Thursday nights for 1st time moms, grandmas, and teachers. (this is the sale to be at!!) If you don't fall into these categories then you can volunteer to help or consign and get into the pre-sale before anyone else! I got some really sweet deals on clothes for Sarabeth and all kinds of toys. When you consign your items at JBF you get 70% of the price that you pick! Can't beat it! I really encourage all of you who read my blog and have kids or want to get rid of kid stuff to check out the sale in The Woodlands or in your area. They are recruiting volunteers now for The Woodlands sale and the girls that run the NW Houston and Woodlands events are both Christians and super nice. You really won't want to miss this opportunity.
