Q. Do you have an early shopping time for new moms?
No-- Unfortunately the city of Brentwood only allows us a certain amount of time to host our sale and that doesn't leave us any extra room in our schedule to set aside a special shopping time for new mothers.

Q. How can I find out about future sales?
A. Join our mailing list. You will be notified of upcoming sales and important updates before each sale event. You can also follow us on social media. We are most active on Facebook, but we are also on Instagram!
Q. How can I become a consignor?
A. Our sale has quickly grown since we began in the fall of 2006. We now reach the maximum consignor capacity at each sale. For this reason, we allow all our previous consignors and volunteers to have the first chance to register. If there are any remaining consignor spots open, we will post them on our website before the sale begins. If there are no spots available we will begin a waiting list. If and when spots open up, those on the waiting list will be notified in order. We do our very best to accommodate all who wish to participate, but we are simply limited due to space issues.
Q. How can I become a volunteer at the sale?
A. Visit our website and go to the “volunteer” section. Any available shifts will be listed and you can register for a time slot. If you work a minimum of four hours, you are qualified to shop at the workers’ early shopping time. See website for complete details.
