I'll update my main post in a bit, but details and updates on consignment sales are trickling in.

The KidsExchange has sent e-mails out looking for volunteers and even paid workers for the sale, which opens to the public next Friday at the state fairgrounds. There may be some openings. For details, go to kidsexchange.net. Helping out at sales can get you in to shop before the public.

Kids EveryWear has just released its sale dates for late August to mid-September at the Morrisville Outlet Mall. It's spread out a bit this year as the sale works around some mall events. Public sale dates run Sept. 11 to Sept. 15. Pregnant and first-time moms can shop early. Go to www.kidseverywear.com for details.

And you have until Aug. 1 to register to volunteer and consign with Upscale Resale. The sale runs Aug. 13 to Aug. 15 in Cary and features high-end children's clothes. Go to www.UpscaleResale4Kids.com for the details.
