The Auburn/Opelika area has a BIG semi-annual consignment sell. One in the Fall and one in the Spring. Last time I went it was a little over a year ago, and it was in a non air condition building. It was mesirable, and I didn't feel like picking through all the junk!

This year since I heard there was AC I thought I would check out what they had.

OH- It was so much easier to see things! I went straight the the "smocked" rack and found the cutest dress...

taken with my phone--- This dress came in at $20 (excellent condition too!)

and I found this right beside it...

this dress came in at $7... It doesn't have the right monogram, but I found a way to take it out. (from another blog)

this is probably so incorrect, but it worked!

front

back

I simply got a razor (that hadn't been used) and started "shaving" the back of the monogram.

I also used a seam stripper.


It worked! Now I've just got to take it and get Libby's monogram on it! 

Such an easy thing! So don't be afraid to buy something with the wrong monogram on it. 

My favorite consignment online shop is:


They have a lot of cute fine children's clothing (some with monograms on them).

Check it out!

And I've been hearing that Auburn is getting a new kids consignment store. I hope this is true!

Happy Thursday!
