The Ladies

When my hubby and I still lived in Los Angeles (Valencia), we used to drive out to Santa Barbara for the day and one of our stops was a really great women's consignment shop. I was working in retail at the time and was buying a lot of clothing, accessories and shoes, so finding a place I could sell my older clothes at was great. When I realized how much it helped me keep the closet cleaned out and allowed me to make some money on my older clothes, I was hooked.

So, I just decided that we're doing another sale - - - this time just for the ladies! That's right. You've been out running around to all the kids consignment sales and now it is your turn to get all dolled up.

The basic info:
March 17 - $5 pre-sale night - 5P-9P
March 18 - 9A-7P
March 19 - 10A-6P
March 20 - 9A-1P

Remember - volunteers get early shopping privileges! Visit 3 Savvy Sisters later this weekend to sign up. Speaking of that, we'll have all the registration information, location details and such updated on our website by the end of this weekend.

The On-Air Plug

Have to mention a great plug we got from our friends at WFSH/104.7 The Fish here in Atlanta. Dan Ratcliffe and Heidi Rew talked about the sale last night durning peak afternoon drive home. Yeah!!! Was so exciting to hear that on the air. Then I called in to Mike Stoudt's show in the evening and he plugged 3 Savvy Sisters again for us! LOVE our friends at The Fish. Thanks Mike, Dan and Heidi!

We've had a great opening to the sale. Last night was our first "public" sale where we had a a pre-sale night from 7 until 9 with a five dollar entry. It was pretty quiet outside and in the store during the 6 o'clock hour. One lady showed up at 6:35 and we had to tell her she couldn't come in until 7. Didn't like turning someone away, especially since we weren't even busy. But, we really want people to be able to count on what we say at 3 Savvy Sisters.

Then suddenly when 7PM rolled around, shoppers practically came out of the woodworks! WOW!

The night was totally busy, right up until 9. Actually, we had a couple of ladies shopping until about 9:30. One of them is opening up a European food shop at 400 at Exit 14. If I recall correctly, I think it's called Mia's. Can't wait to go over there at try some of the delicious food!

We open up for grandparents this morning at 9 and then wide open to the public at 10. If last night was any indicator, today is probably going to be very busy.
