I have been a consignor for a while now. I love getting all my stuff ready to sell. I love to buy other people’s stuff as well. But, so far, the best thing that this sale has come up with is the merchandise template. I don’t know who thought of this or created it, but you get a gold star in my book. That has taken hours off of my prep time and more time to my kids. I absolutely love it. Thank you again. I am ready to shop. Where are the deals?!
I first attended a JBF sale in the spring of 2004. I was pregnant with my second son and was due in 4 weeks and had NOTHING for him to wear. Not only that but it was beginning to warm up and I had nothing to wear as well. I was absolutely amazed at the selection of clothing! There was adorable maternity clothing! The stuff I bought for my 2 boys were in great condition. I was thrilled when I got home with my findings. I still got great stuff even after the workers got to shop. 2-10-05 I first saw an ad in the Tulsa World (as I was an avid garage saler - note: was!) in the fall of 1998. When later that weekend I saw an a-frame plywood sign with the same title, "Just Between Friends" as the ad, my curiousity was peeked. I mentioned the relationship to my husband and we agreed that a consignment shop must be going out of business or something of similar nature. Later the next day, I followed the directions to a home with my then 5 year old and 6 month old baby in tow. As I walked up to the driveway a beautiful, vibrant lady with a dentist dream smile asked me if I would like to be on their mailing list. I thought she had been in the sun a little too long because I had not once been to a garage sale that put me on a mailing list. But she was not a telemarketer, but rather a proverbs 31 woman who pointed me to her proverbs 31 partner to "sign me up". I purchased one item that day. It was the end of the "3 day" sale, on a Saturday, already well into the evening. I paid about $5 for an outstanding brand new condition Christian Dior boys dress suit w/shirt. I could not have imagined what jbf would do for me and my family and how it would grow to what it is today either! My entreprenuer firstborn was six that next spring and he worked the sale with me at the church building. He has always been business minded and was already bagging and asking customers if they wanted their hangars at that tender age. He has worked every sale since. I can't not work the sale even when I barter because he loves to work the sale. Most importantly, I have had two more children since (now 12, 7, 5, and 2 - we finally got a girl!) and jbf has been so critical to my family's financial ability to provide infant necessities, clothing, and desires of our children's hearts, that I have been known to work the sale after working all night, and was shopping three days after my daughter's and working 5 days after her birth. It was necessary. Neither Shannon nor Daven know me other than as a "consignor/friend" for the past six years and neither know of the times I have been brought to tears of thankfulness when leaving a sale for the ability to provide for our children what I otherwise could not. I remember when I shopped one of the earlier sales and thought $75 was "breaking the bank", now it's not unusal for me to spend $350-650. . .and my sales (reimbursement? :) ) check is always close to the same. Who would have imagined a business that could bring a family's clothes and educational/fun toy budget almost to $0, and have them looking "first class"? Daven and Shannon that's who! Thanks ladies! and Thanks be to God!!

Thanks, Lori Gammon 9-1-04 I just went to the August shopping "spree". WOW! what a wonderful event. I have so many clothes for my daughter that I don't know what she will wear first. Thank God for you guys. If it weren't for this sale I wouldn't have been able to afford many clothes. I have told all of my friends about you. Thanks!! Missy WOW!! What an answer to prayer the JBF sale has been to my family! I have been shopping for 3 sales now, and I absolutely love the Waco sale. I always find things I "can't live without!" I am now able to give my little girl all the fun things that I couldn't afford as a stay at home mom. Plus, I will sell last seasons clothes to make room and money for all the new outfits I will buy this year! Forget the mall or discount store, and shop with JBF Waco!! Brooke Morrow Consignor #590 I love JBF! The Waco sale has been steadily growing and it is so exciting to see how much quality kid's stuff there is for sale! I have found great buys on baby things, toddler clothes, toys, books... even sleeping bags. This sale has everything you might be looking for -- and more! I have also sold many of the clothes, toys my kids have outgrown -- and made alot more money than I would at a yard sale. I encourage you to shop and consign for sure, but also to volunteer to help out at the sale. You get to shop early and learn the "inside" of JBF which makes it that much more fun! Kathy and Shelly put on a Fabulous JBF Waco sale - come check it out!! Nicole Crawford 3-19-07 |  |
