Do you have baby/children’s clothes, toys, and furniture that have been outgrown? Do you want to get rid of them and earn extra cash? If so, Just Between Friends is right for you.

Anyone can consign during this semi-annual event. Just register online, tag your items before the day of the sale using their on-line tagging system, and then drop them off at the sale. JBF does the rest.

  • You set your own price and decide if your item is discounted during half price days
  • Consignors will receive 2  presale passes to shop before the public.
  • The fee to consign is only $11.
  • Consignors are required to have a minimum of  $100 worth of items.
  • With the on-line bar-coding system (www.myjbftags.com), it is easy to enter your tags and print them off.
  •  You will then be able to track your sales during the event
  • They accept seasonally appropriate clothing items during the sales as well as toys, books, and furniture.
If you don’t want to consign, you can shop for great deals on quality items.

I participated in many of Just Between Friends sales and it really is a convenient way to de-clutter your house. I sold a ton of my girl’s clothes and even two strollers. What I really loved was that you could check exactly what was sold through the JBF website.

Fun Things Visits Ikea


Last week, I was invited to Ikea, Conshohocken to check out their new 2012 catalog.  I am a huge fan of Ikea's products and it truly is a family friendly place to take the kids while you shop. Now, you may be wondering how Ikea can be a fun thing to do with kids.  :

Småland Play Area

This supervised play area in the entrance lobby is for children between the heights of 37"-54" who are potty-trained (no pull-ups). Kids can play in this safe, imaginative environment for up to an hour! And it's Free

Play Areas


They have play areas for children throughout the store.

Stuff for the older kids too!

Video game Play Stations are available for kids to use in the Living Room department.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Ikea has a restaurant the serves breakfast lunch and dinner at very affordable prices or you can pick up $1 frozen yogurt as a treat when you finish shopping.  The restaurant area has bibs, bottle warmers, high chairs and a play area for children in the restaurant. So you might get to enjoy a meal with a little peace.

What's New at Ikea
The theme for Ikea's 2012 catalog is innovative ways to improve life at home by offering new solutions to everyday challenges, including smarter use of space. In the 2012 catalog, readers will find a strong focus on the IKEA commitment to create a better life at home. No matter what size of your home, Ikea will give you plenty of ideas on storage and how to make use of space.  Check out the slide show below for some examples of what's new.
