My Loves...Bargain Shopping & James Taylor

So some of you have asked where I got the name Sweet Baby Jeans from since the name lends itself to sound more like a tag sale for baby items. Nope. I got it by combining my love for bargain shopping (especially designer jeans) with my love for James Taylor. I named my little tag sale adventure after his album/song Sweet Baby James.

Do you love it???

BTW- can we talk about how handsome this guy used to be??? Meeeeeow!

Success Is Sweet!

I did it! The first sale was a huge success! Everything worked out absolutely perfect. Weather was great. Set up was great. Customers were great. And...the profit was great! Thank you so much to everyone who came out in support & shopped their butts off. I think everyone had a good time & I'm hoping would come back again. I think I can squeeze one more sale in before the cool weather really hits us. I've got a handful of other people who want me to sell their stuff so there will be new inventory. Looks like I've got to stock up on more designer jeans since they were such a big hit!

I want to send out a public THANK YOU to my sister who busted her hiney to help me with this sale...my 2 nieces Kaelyn & Maddie and my mom, Lorraine who were a huge help during the sale & also to my sister in law Tracey who helped me with advertising, etc. Ok, and for brownie points let me thank my husband, John, for putting up with a chaotic mess these last few weeks and helping with setting up & cleaning up AND for watching the baby. I couldn't have done it without any of these people.


If you came to the sale and have any comments or suggestions, I would love some feedback! Leave a comment here or on Facebook at Sweet Baby Jeans.



Thanks again everyone!!!

The Mother Load Has Arrived.....

And needs to get out of my house!!!! I'd say 75% off all the clothes, shoes & bags that I have to sell are now priced and in the process of being tagged & hung. My house is a mess! I'm tired! I've gone through 2 tagging guns already. Is it Saturday yet???

So what clothes were once in my office are now in my fireplace room waiting to be tagged & hung. That meant I cleaned out the office...for about a day! That was soon messed up again with more stuff I found in spare closets & in the basement! I totally forgot to take a pic of the bins of jeans that are stacked in my dining room....COME BUY MY STUFF!!!!!! PUH-LEEEEAAAAZE! I need my cute house back! LOL









Ohhhhhh my God....right???!!!!!

Light At The End Of The Tunnel...It's Somewhere Around Here...

I'm friggin exhausted! The last 2 mornings my 4 month old daughter has let out a little cry & then drifted right off to sleep. Well, that's good & all but then that leaves me laying in bed praying I'll fall back asleep. Yeah, doesn't happen. Cuz then I start thinking about stuff I have to do for this sale!!! You should see the bags under my eyes!!!! *poor me*
