NCT goodness

The day of the NCT sale finally arrived! This is a highly anticipated day where we moms queue 45 minutes early to be some of the first inside a massive "garage" sale. Plus, this time, Kate, Rachel G, and I were sellers, so we spent countless hours prepping our clothes with price tags, etc., organizing, loading the car(s)- it all required 2 cars!!- unloading 3 sellers' worth of stuff, leaving, going back for the sale, queuing for 30 minutes to check out, then going back for any unsold items that I/we wanted back. Yikes- long day, especially for the dads who took care of our kids solo! (I know that Josh and the kids had a great day by the stories I heard!!)

My haul...I didn't feel confident until I looked at it all again in line...then I was psyched! Now, interestingly, for the first time ever, I was actually in need of clothes for Rebekah! Especially church clothes- the girl loves to dress up. :) Good girl. I have a lot for Luke until he's 2, so I only got him a winter coat and a few shirts.

Let me highlight a few faves...

Pink trench: 2 pds

Luke's winter coat- army green: 3 pds

This was from seller 53- I know b/c Kate and I drooled over her stuff, but she over-priced it (like 2.50 instead of 1, which makes a big difference when you're buying a lot)...I didn't want to reward her for charging too much, but I had to get a few things...like this...

Check out this killer wool coat!!! 4 pds- my most expensive item- I think it's a 5-6, but Rebekah is every bit a 4/5 in UK sizes...when did that happen????

I LOVED this skrt- 1 pd!!!

This outfit rocks, too...dress, leggings, and headband- 4 pds! The girl who rang me up said it was her daughter's 4th birthday party outfit...she also wished she had seen that brown skirt!

I also thought this red corduroy dress with the buttons (down the back, too) would be fun during the Christmas season.

These are corduroy capris- I was picturing some great tights underneath and a thick sweater...

This was fab! I am thinking a solid long-sleeved tee and jeans underneath...

I couldn't pass these white capris by...

Or this teal dress...thinking over bright tights or leggings with tall boots...yes, we have some.

I am a sucker for bright sweatshirts and layering.

The kids after the sale...Luke was making faces at me... :)

Rebes was super-excited about the new shoes I found her- one pair pink, the other bronze. She also asked if she could pick out her church outfit tomorrow...um, maybe...if you choose the brown skirt and bronze shoes...

All in all, I got 35-ish items for 45 pds...not bad!
