Consignment Sale

Today was the big Kids Everywear consignment sale, and boy did we get some good deals! The most exciting purchase was a crib! We have been researching cribs through a great book I bought "Baby Bargains" the last few weeks in anticipation of going to this sale. "Baby Bargains" is a great book because it rates all sorts of baby stuff, kind of like Consumer Reports, except it also includes personal reviews from consumers. So this afternoon when we went to look again we took our book to make sure we knew whether or not to buy a crib. Well, the one crib that I really liked happened to be a well rated one so we bought it for $75! It is a white (which we hadn't originally wanted) sleigh style crib with bead board on the headboard and foot board. I love it! It's very "Pottery Barnish."
Our second purchase was a dresser/changing table which is also white. It isn't in perfect condition, but the drawers open and close easily and there aren't too many dings. For $60 it looked great to us. The only thing I need to do is change out the knobs and it will be really cute. If we were to have purchased both of these items brand new we could have easily spent $600-$700 so I feel good about what we bought.
The last thing we bought was a Pack N Play with a bassinet and diaper changing attachments to leave in Brevard. We decided to buy one to leave there so we will have a little more car space when we go to visit Brad's family. Sorry there are no pictures, the crib is currently in our living room because it wouldn't fit through the door of the nursery. As soon as I can I will post pictures.
