Wise beyond her years

Last season we had a new consignor named Addison join Little Treasures.  Mom and I thought nothing of it other than our usual excitement over new people from all over the region continuing to join our sale.  But on drop-off day when Addison signed in, we realized that she was a spunky 11-year-old girl.  We were obviously intrigued and her mother announced over Addison's shoulder that she found out about the sale and signed up all on her own.  She decided she would clean out her closet, sell her clothes and she planned a big shopping spree after the sale for new clothes.

With Addison's (and her mom's) permission, we want to share what she told us about her experience with Little Treasures...as our youngest consignor ever:

"I really enjoyed doing the Little Treasures consignment sale because it gave me a chance to go through the clothes that are too small on me and earn money to buy new ones. I enjoyed the excitement of getting the clothes ready. My mom helped me iron the clothes and set the prices, so we got to spend some quality time together. It was fun trying to come up with prices that we both could agree on. I think that this is an easy way for other girls to earn money by selling clothes and toys that they do not use anymore. I did not have to work very hard and I got a lot in return. I also liked waiting to see how much money I earned. It felt like a big game and I could not wait to see how big a winner I was.

My plan was to take my earnings and go on a really big shopping spree, but instead I donated some of it to a needy family for the holidays. It made me feel great to give to others and I actually had more fun shopping for them than shopping for myself.

I hope that other girls do the sale so that they can see how much fun it is to spend money that they actually earn themselves."

What a smart, young lady, huh? We look so forward to having Addison join us at our spring/summer sale this March!
