MULTIPLE Reasons...

To shop the CMOMs Consignment Sale this weekend!!

I'm a little biased because I am a CMOM (Charlotte Mothers of Multiples) member, but truly this is one of the best sales every season. The members consign SO many great items (I just finished tagging my 429 items today...multiples means lots of stuff), and since the consigning members can earn up to 90% of their sales, the prices are AMAZING! Smocked clothing in the boutique section for as little as $10, strollers, riding toys, cribs, bedding, TOYS (huge selection of toys for all ages) and so much more. Also, proceeds from the sale go directly to CMOM programming which includes helping our members in need with supplies & gear when needed (having multiples can be pricey, too). The sale is Saturday, August 11th. Early bird shopping begins at 7:30am with a $2 admission, and then FREE admission after 8:30am. The sale will again be held at The Park Expo & Conference Center (formerly Charlotte Merchandise Mart), and parking is FREE. Cash, Visa and MasterCard are accepted, and please NO strollers or carts. Plan to check The Queen City Buzz's Facebook Page on Thursday night and Friday for pictures from the sale floor!!

Blessings,
