this week at Mother & Child

Consignment update for August:

We added adult clothing to our mix of
consignment product offerings. yay!! women

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.
