As we give you a few more days to vote for which message to print on our t-shirts, we want to follow up on our post last week about Rhea Lana's Children's Consignment event. See that post to learn more about the popular business.
Robyn worked two days preparing 100 pieces of our children's clothing to sell at the Rhea Lana's West Little Rock event. She washed, ironed and hung the clothes, put price tags on them and uploadeded the details on their website. Both of us volunteered to work at the consignment sale because if you volunteer a certain number of hours, you get a pass to shop early and beat the crowds.
It was fun to watch Robyn get excited every night during the sale as she tracked her progress on the computer. She's a detail person, so she would go to the Rhea Lana website, log on and examine the list of what items sold and would keep track of her daily sales. She would pour over the list and express her surprise over what items had or hadn't sold yet. In the end she was hoping her sales would reach $200. That would be a nice blessing.
$200 may not sound like much, but with a wife like Robyn, we can stretch that out more than most couples. She is adept at shopping for bargains. Just tonight she found several shirts on clearance at Old Navy for $.97. They were marked down 92 to 97 percent! Thank you, Sweetie.
Back to the consignment sale. As we explained last week, Rhea Lana collects 30 percent of sales and consignors get to keep 70 percent. We are very excited to report that Robyn netted about $170. I don't know what she has planned for that, but I'm thinking that will pay for us to eat seven deep-dish pizzas at our favorite pizza place, Old Chicago, which is about a 2-iron shot away from our house. We also like Gusano's downtown, but we can walk to Old Chicago. They are not as good as Lou Malnatti's in Chicago, but they are close.
Please go to our Facebook page and vote for the message you like best for our t-shirts. Thank you.
