The Spring Buy/Sell of the Northwest Houston Moms of Multiples was held on April 2, 2011 at a new location...Kid R Kids at 10740 Barker Cypress. The owner graciously allowed us to use the parking lot to hold our Shopping Extravaganza. You might have seen some of the many signs that Cita and I placed throughout the surrounding area to promote our Sell. That was a fun with 5 toddlers in car seats cheering Mrs. Cita on every time she got back into the car after placing a sign out for all to see.
We were pleased to see lots of members and non members set up there stuff bright and early… 5:30 am to be exact. The tables and racks went up and all were ready for those early shoppers that started arriving before 7 am. Though the weather was a bit yucky in the early hours the weather quickly changed and there was plenty of sunshine. There was so much to browse through and so much to choose from. Lots of us sellers were shopping before everything was set up. I personally came home with tons of gently used toys and clothing for my Duo. It was also nice to see lots of members come out to support our sellers. It seems that this function is great for both the Buyers and the Sellers.
The Northwest Houston Moms of Multiples holds 2 buy/sells a year once in the spring usually at the end of March or beginning of April then again in the fall usually at the end of September or early October. We do charge a small fee to participate ($15 for non-members and $8 for members) and this is used for signs and anything else that we need to promote the event. If you are interested in participating or need more information contact Laura @ ler415@yahoo.com or Cita @ cita0927@yahoo.com.
