What to do with all of the Stuff???

I know I am not alone in the battle to fit all of the new stuff from Christmas into the house. We didn’t go crazy, but there is still a bunch of stuff that needs to find a home in the kids’ rooms and the toy box, so we spent time this weekend making room for the new. I am super sentimental and I hate the idea of getting rid of anything that has belonged to my children but I also have to be practical. It is a struggle for me but one thing that makes it more tolerable is knowing that I can either donate to people who are in need or make a few extra bucks.
One of my favorite places to visit is Butterflies and Blossoms in West Chester. This is an upscale consignment shop with new and used items. They have a great selection of well cared for pre-owned clothing and gear and brand new unique gifts and toys. They also have a maternity section. This was an awesome resource for me when I was pregnant! We eventually have to buy things to fit our expanding bellies and then it just sits in our closets or gets packed away for the next time. I bought casual and office-wear for half (sometimes less) than what I would have paid at the mall-some of it still had the tags on it!
They collect seasonally and rotate on an 8 week cycle. They take name brand clothing, toys and gear and at the end of the cycle you can collect money for the items that sold. You can pick up the items that don’t sell or have them donated for you. It’s a nice way to stream line the process. Butterflies and Blossoms is located on Five Points Road between Paoli Pike and West Chester Pike.
