Children's Resale Event coming up in September

The current state of the economy has many local families looking for new and creative ways to stretch their budgets while still meeting the needs of their quickly growing children. Fairytale Threads understands that parenting growing children is expensive. The price of diapers and formula alone can be shocking. Then add cribs, bouncers, videos, toys and clothes to the mix. Parents also quickly realize many items are outgrown in a matter of weeks. As they grow, their clothes might last one season, and their taste in toys can change overnight.

The Fairytale Threads owners know this first hand and are giving other parents a way to save and make some money by finding things they need at great prices as well as a venue to sell their own outgrown items. With six children between them, Alecia Goode and Christa Matamoros know the value of a good deal and common sense of stretching every dollar. They also know that outgrown items still have lots of life left in them.

Local families won’t have to go far to find good quality, gently used clothes, toys and gear for their children at a fraction of the price of retail. Over 100 families brought thousands of items to the Fairytale Threads Spring 2009 Event. Thousands of shoppers attened to find what they needed.

Fairytale Threads will host their Fall 2009 Children’s Consignment Event on Friday and Saturday September 18th and 19th, 2009 at the

Old Settlers Association at 3300

Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock.

Public shopping begins on Friday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. and continues through Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Some items will be half price on Saturday. Those who sign up to consign or volunteer have the opportunity to shop before the public!

Fairytale Threads does not accept certain items for resale including car seats or booster seats, children’s jewelry, used feeding or toilet training items, clothing with draw strings around the head or neck, or recalled items. Fairytale Threads also inspects each item to reach a level of confidence that the items offered for resale are indeed safe as well as affordable.

In an effort to pay it forward, consignors, volunteers and shoppers are asked to bring a canned food or pantry item for the Round Rock Area Serving Center’s food bank. Consignors also have the option to donate unsold items to the Round Rock Serving Center’s thrift store, helping local families in need.

If you are looking for ways to help with this event or want more details, you can visit Fairytale Threads website at: http://www.fairytalethreads.com/ or call Fairytale Threads at

Spread the word and hope to see you there!

Latest Scoop on Free Diapers and coupons!

The biggest expense when the baby comes home comes down to the amount of diapers he will have to go through...A newborn uses an average of 8-10 diapers a DAY! We're talking about 240-300 diapers just in their first month of life! The # of diapers does decrease as your child gets older, but by the time he turns 1, you probably would have already changed over 3,000 diapers!
