Hi ~ it's been awhile, it's been busy. Sometimes it hard to fit in the blogging part of this. I try to keep the website updated, and the facebook page & get the word out about the swaps - we have some new locations coming up! and then.... after the kids, house, husband.. etc. etc. little time left to blog!! Anyhoo... The El Dorado swap was very cool! We had a lot of moms from all over the place - even as far as Gridley! I think the main thing about p.l.s events that moms need to know - is that they aren't little swaps - we get a minimum of 40 moms that show up & up to 100 (probably more to come at some locations) - we have clothing racks and tables (lots of them) & really it's like coming into a consignment shop & being able to take what you want & not pay for it. It's large, it's organized & your kids have a place to play and run safely while you SHOP! yeah!! what more could you ask for - well also things that don't get taken go to families, kids & babies in need & they are ongoing ~ not just a once in a while deal - because if you are like me - pretty much every month I have stuff to get rid off & I really don't have time to take pictures and post things, or have a garage sales & I just never get what stuff is worth when I take it to consignment. We do have a couple new venues/events coming up. 1. The Sacramento kids swap - thrown by Good Day Sacramento & airing live on their morning show will be hosted hosted by p.l.s and held at Funderland Amusement Park on Wed. May 12. This will be the sort of kick off event in Sacramento, subsequent events will be held quarterly on a Saturday. 2. The Vacaville kids swap ~ p.l.s will be hosting our first swap here at Aerials Gymnastics on May 22. This is going to be huge. The venue is huge, people can come from Davis, Vallejo, Fairfield... etc~ it's going to be a great one. El Dorado will continue on a quarterly basis - on the last Saturday of the month, while Nevada County & Rocklin will go every other month. Marin County and Berkeley up next, locations, dates & times to be announced shortly - as well as the Yuba City/Marysville area. I will post here when a new one starts or if any changes are made- Also, info will be posted on Facebook. You can always sign up for email updates on the website too. We will need a lot of reliable volunteers for the Sacramento swap -early risers - since we will be setting up at about 6am!! helloooooo ( I am NOT a morning person). I got a few things at the Cameron Park swap - a pair of boots for Milla. some random bell instrument, tennies, and a dress for Lola & a couple puzzles. Lots of stuff leftover including a great highchair and baby bath that will go to young moms in need. Nothing for the baby at this swap - I already have so much stuff... will keep my eyes open for a mobile, crib light thing, diaper genie - I saw all of these at this swap - but don't want to take yet just so it can sit in the room for 6 months. what's the point. There really is a ton of stuff (good stuff) at these swaps though.. hope to see you soon,
until then ~
happy swapping!
Meg
