Kristy Neth is the mother of a two-year-old and has a second child on the way. Finding economical options for clothing for her children became a priority, so Neth came up with the idea of Once And Again Children’s Consignment. The business will hold its first consignment event beginning at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the James Edward Gray American Legion building, 1104 E. 5th St.
“New clothes for children can be expensive,” Neth said. “Most clothing and items for children are outgrown well before they’re worn out. I spent a lot of time going to garage sales to find things for my child, and will have an additional need when our son is born. People have items in very good shape that they have no use for anymore, because their children have grown out of them.
“I decided to open a consignment business so people can make a dollar or two off of items left over from their children and at the same time, provide those with little ones the opportunity to purchase clothing and needed items at lower costs than buying new.”
Hours and dates that Once And Again will be open include 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 28 and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, March 29.
“Sunday is 50 percent off day,” Neth said. “Most items will be half-off that day.”
Neth hopes to have both a spring and fall consignment event in the future.
“Kids grow out of clothes and items like beds and strollers all the time and folks have no need for those items once they’re outgrown,” Neth said.
“Plus, the need is always there for parents of young children to buy these items at prices below new. So we hope that a spring and fall event will help both the consignees, who can clean out their garages and closets, and the consumers, who are looking for lower-priced options in children’s clothing and other necessities.”
