Greetings!
Hello!
Have you heard?
The big news is that we now have a women's consignment clothing and accessories area! We have also started taking larger sizes in the young men's area! Now accepting Fall items. Please see below for more info.
and... wait until you see how neat and organized we have made the books area!
Home school parents and parents of avid readers: this will be a great resource for you, this Fall. We have books for baby to teen and books about parenting and teaching.
We would love it if you give us a list of the the books you need so that we can be on the lookout for what is required reading in school, or what home school parents need for their upcoming curriculum.
 More big news:
Lee --the one who was away in Americorps NCCC last year-- is building us an additional dressing room and it is family-sized, so Mom and a couple of youger children might all try on clothes at the same time in one dressing romm! This should help speed up the trying-on part of shopping at Mother & Child
tremendously.
Hey... great idea that I overheard today: One Mom who, was shopping with children ages baby to teen, brings the younger ones shopping with a bathing suit under their clothing. This allows Mom to try clothing on the children without waiting for a dressing room! I thought it was ingenious!
Forward this e-news to some friends.
Do you know?
We are now open Mon- Sat 10 - 7! and we take consignments until 6:30 on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat.
If you have too many grocery or shopping bags piling
up in a closet somewhere, you can bring them to us. We will be happy
to re-use them here at Mother & Child.

Simple Thrift
Enjoyed Wendy's talk very much
last Friday. If she joins us again, this Fall, which she may, I highly
encourage you to make time to come and join some fun and thrifty tips!
My
favorite of her "top ten thrifty tools" was the soup jar. Wendy keeps
an air tight, container that has an easy-to-open lid, in the freezer,
and whenever her family does not eat all of their veggies, the
leftovers get thrown into the soup jar!
When the soup jar is full... It is time to make some soup!
Wendy also shared some cookies that her children baked for us which cost them about $1.25 to make a batch of a couple dozen!
Wendy's latest adventure? raising chickens! You can follow her chicken story on her blog or in the Telegraph._________________________________________________________________  Brita Climate Ride 2009 is the
first multi-day bicycle ride where your pedal strokes help raise money
and awareness for meaningful climate change and renewable energy
legislation! This transformative event is ideal for anyone who believes
that change is possible and that America can take the lead in a green
economy.
Paul will be riding, and needs your support, will you visit his fundraising page, to learn more? Or click on the Climate Ride logo above to visit the 1 World Blog page.

Consignment News
Consignment update for August:
We added adult clothing to our mix of consignment product offerings. yay!! We have put out a call for in-style, adult clothing, amongst you, our newsletter readers. As you are very well aware, we have limited space, so we are going to adhere to strict guidelines --from the get-go-- in order to narrow down the amount and the types of items that we will accept:
- must be in-style (this means you bought it within the past 2 years OR you bought it 25+ years ago, and it is BACK in style. :))
- must be in like-new condition (ok, it may be OK to buy your 4-year-old a pair of pants which have a slight stain or may have knees that are somewhat worn, but an adult is going to require anything anything that he or she will purchase will look like new.)
- must be good quality. Our concept is one of recycling. Poorly-made clothing, or really-inexpensive items, will not last long enough to be used again and again.
If you have in-style, Early Fall items, in adult sizes, we will love to look through up to 30 items and to keep, display and sell those that we think have the best chance of selling.
We are accepting Fall items that will be worn in October and November:
This is a great time to bring school uniforms --current styles only-- and like-new sneakers.
Reminder: we accept Halloween items ONLY IN SEPTEMBER, and we do not accept any holiday or snow items until after September 1st. Between now and September, we concentrate on getting the school-age children (kindergarten to college) clothed for the first few months of school.
Speaking of college kids... We have designated an area in the back-room decor department, to dorm-room decor. Now is the time to bring like-new bedding and decor for dorm life.
Below is a list to use as a guide as to what we can take in July. We
suggest that you always call ahead to confirm, as during a given week,
we may have too much in a particular size.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We look forward to seeing you.
We have room for more...
baby swings
pack n plays consignment hours:
exersaucers M,W,F,Sa 10-6:30
jolly jumpers
back-pack-style carriers
universal car seat stroller frames
changing tables
Regarding equipment and furniture:
please call ahead to confirm that we have room for more of what you
have to sell. (We do have to be sure that all equipment and furniture,
that we sell, has not been recalled. You may want to save yourself
some time, by checking www.cpsc.gov before you pack the items in your
car.)
(Note: We are no longer able to take toys due to more strict Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations.)

Get to know the Girls!!!
By Persia Asvaraksh
Summer has finally arrived!
Sure the sun seems to be the last one to know but we think this time off
from school should be spent getting to know your friends...the friendly staff at
Mother and Child that is. Sure you know
that Susie always has a smiling face at the register and Kelley is always busy
in that backroom, but do you know their hidden talents? We will take time every week to introduce
each of our staff to you over the summer.
Not only will we be sharing fun facts about ourselves, but we'll share
our shopping tips as well! If you ask us, we might be the store's best
customers, and as different as we are, we all seem to find something to spend
our paychecks on! After reading our
introductions, please feel free to come say hello. We'd love to talk if you also loved the Twilight series, and even better we'd
love to help you shop!
Look in next week's newsletter for a new Staff Spotlight! (Persia had an extra busy week, this week!)
