Baby Gear

I need a crib

I'm looking for a crib, or... something. I have very little space, very little money, and a baby who is rapidly outgrowing the mini-co-sleeper. If anybody is looking to sell a used crib, or a decent pack-n-play, or just has a great suggestion about sleeping babies, let me know! Contact Sara at ostling32 at gmail dot com.

Crib/Art Easel

HI Mamas--We are downsizing and are selling a solid wood Italian crib for $200. The crib has three different mattress height positions, rolling casters, two crib sides which go down, and a teething bar. It's a lovely piece of furniture.

The Art Easel we are selling for $35 and has a chalkboard, white board, paper roll, and storage areas for supplies.

Need a new crib? I have voucher for babiesrus

Had a crib that I was going to sell on Craigslist or whatever, but I found out it had been recalled!  So, now I have a voucher towards a new crib at Babiesrus. I don't need a crib now as we are past that stage but I can only use the voucher towards a crib. The voucher is worth up to $220 towards any crib. I would have tried to sell my crib for $150: anyone interested? We could meet at Babiesrus and you pick out your crib. I have to show id for the voucher! Will consider all offers. contact me at sonjadahlquist@yahoo.com

Call for Vendors!

Our special craft fairs at Milagros are coming back with the change in the weather. So mark your calendar for our first big craft fair of the season on April 18th!

As always, there will be a wonderful collection of locally made goods, complimentary sundries, stuff for the kids, and special deals at Milagros.

Would you like to show your stuff?

If you would like to considered as a vendor, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: 1) You have to make or design the product you are selling (sorry, no resellers) and 2) if you are using any manufactured goods as part of your craft/product (for instance if you are screen-printing on a t-shirt) you MUST be using certified sweatshop-free materials.

Our table fee is only $20 - table and chair is provided plus a link in a Milagros blog post.  If you are interested in participating, please send us an email at milagros@milagrosboutique.com

Car Seat Clinic and Car Seat Recycling Program on Saturday.

Baby and Kid Clothing, Maternity Clothing, Baby Gear, Toys, Books, Software, Movies, Furniture and Anything Else Related to Kids.

Here's what one consignor is saying: "If you haven't consigned or shopped this sale yet you are missing out. The deals I got last sale were amazing! I completely outfitted my two kids for pennies on the dollar. You'll be amazed at what you can find.... And to my surprise I made more than I spent."

THE SCOOP: Register for your consignor number on www.superkidsresale.net. Then you price and tag your own items and deliver them before the sale during the designated drop-off times. Then we do the rest of the work by selling it all for you at our huge 3 day sale open to the public. Consignors receive 70% of their earnings and receive their check in the mail within 2 weeks after the sale. It is SUPER easy to earn 75-80% by volunteering to work a 3 hour shift (not 8-12 hours like the other sales). After the sales event, consignors have the option of picking up their unsold items or having us donate them to a local charity on their behalf. Also, as a consignor, you get to shop before the public at the presale to get the best deals. And there are no parking fees like the other sale.

Hope to see you at the sale! Tell all your friends!

Susan
