Aren’t Kids Cute, why yes they are

December 31st, 2010

We made our way back to Aren’t Kids Cute in Lindale.

This is a kids resale shop and they have tons of clothes, toys, cribs,
jumpers, strollers, and a heck of a lot more.

They also have the added benefit of believing as do I that kids are cute, especially my kid.

There is also a furniture section with beds, cribs and other such stuff.

We keep coming back to this sale year after year simply because there is too much stuff not to want to get your hands on some of it.

I see the Children’s Clothing Consignment Sale as a treasure hunting experience and it all goes to making your kids look cuter.

The fall sale starts September 16-18, 2010 Thursday – Friday 9am – 6 pm and Saturday 9 am – 4 pm. Admission is free.

They accept Visa, MasterCard, and debit cards.

A Little Behind

August 2nd, 2010

Anyone with small children will tell you that one of the most frustrating things is how fast little kids grow. It seems like you buy a pair of pants and your kids wear them once and by the time they got through the laundry cycle and out of the dryer they are to small for your kids. By the time your kids are three years old, you have a giant pile of clothes, instead of just throwing them out, why not make a few buck off of them?

A Little Behind is a resale store in Tyler. Most clothing is used or hand made. The idea or buying used clothing may not be appealing to everyone, but here the used clothes are in great condition and extremely organized. I was able to buy two pairs of jeans and a beautiful summer dress for a lower price that I usually spend on one pair of pants.

They had a small selection of maternity clothes, but that is not their main selling point. Most of the products in the store are toys, furniture, and clothing for small children. They have great sales such as half off a huge selection of clothing and they have had sales that were half off cribs and other furniture.

The walls are lined with hand made clothing and hair products for little girls. I love the hair bows that you can find there. There is a large selection of bright colored ribbons, and giant clothe flowers. One of the most expensive things you can find in the store is the “pillow case dresses”. All of the pillow case dresses are hand made and each has its own unique look and style.

               When you are either shopping or selling, you want to shop or work with honest and polite people. When I walked into the store for the first time I was greeted by the owner of the store who was working the counter. She was extremely helpful and gave her honest opinion on the products that she was selling, and even pointed out glitches in a table and chairs a lady was interested. I find it very comforting to know that I am getting great products for little money.

                 I hate going into a resale store when there are clothes unorganized and mixed up, and I have to dig through clothing to find a pair of jeans without a hole in the knee, or I have to think about how to get the spit up stain off an outfit. I did not have to worry about that here. All the clothes were in style and clean. It was easy to find the size of clothes that I needed because everything was extremely organized.

               When shopping at A Little Behind you are sure to get great clothes at unbelievable prices, and your shopping experience will not be stressful or overwhelming. A Little Behind is my favored resale store to buy clothes for my little kids.

Good Place To Find Quality Children’s Clothes

Aren’t Kid’s Cute is a fun place to visit for re-sale kids clothes, toys and baby items located in Lindale just a short distance from Tyler Texas. The shop itself has a cute antiquey atmosphere with lots of little rooms packed with clothes and toys. The items for sale on the other hand, are anything but antique – they only sell items in the best condition and from reliable brands.

Aren’t Kids Cute is a thriving business because the things for sale are in nearly new condition and the prices are attractive. As a customer – you get a really good deal. For the consigner – you get 50% of the price sold and everything is done for you – the presentation and pricing, marketing, selling etc.

It is fun to go and browse at Aren’t Kids Cute – for kids and parents alike. Shoes and boots are a particularly good find, and sports and ballet shoes are always in stock which is great when your kid’s feet start growing in the middle of the soccer season! It’s also a good place to find Halloween outfits, swimsuits and seasonal clothes. There are maternity items and baby equipment too -even large items like strollers, cribs and high chairs.

I love this store. It allows me to buy from Gap and Ralph Loren and to indulge in buying novelty Tshirts and things that aren’t necessarily practical but that my children will love. My 7 year old likes coming with me because he loves that he can afford to buy toys and DVDs with his own small allowance. Oh and I forgot to mention, there is a basket of play things to occupy your kids while you shop in peace.
