Rhea Lana's Consignment Event

Do you consign?  Do you shop at consignment stores?  I do, and I have found that it is not only a great way to SAVE money on clothes and accessories but an even better way to MAKE money from items that are no longer the right size or are no longer being used.

Franchise owners Christine DeGraf and Heidi DeGraf would love to have you as a Shopper, Consignor, Volunteer . . . or all three!

Please check out their website Rhea Lana's of West Chicagoland, their Facebook page RheaLanaWC, and follow them on Twitter at @RheaLanasWC for detailed information and step-by step instructions on how you can become a Consignor (I've already got my tags and hangers!), as well as anything else you could possibly need to know about volunteering or shopping to your hearts content!  And as a special bonus to my blog readers, Rhea Lana's of West Chicagoland is offering a $5 off a $30 purchase (which in a consignment sale can go a LONG way) during the Tuesday, September 25th sale day.  WooHoo!

If you live outside of the Chicagoland area, check out the Rhea Lana's corporate website for  franchises in your area that are hosting sales.  Happy Consigning!!

Disclosure:  In exchange for writing this blog post, Rhea Lana's West Chicagoland is allowing me to shop during their media event before the main sale begins.  I am also participating as a Consignor, and will be compensated as any other consignor would be. (I'm excited to watch my sales in real time online!)
