Weecycled Wardrobe's Fall Sale begins this weekend in Fredericksburg. (Thanks also to reader Amy who had emailed us about this!)

The sale will also be taking place in North Stafford and Alexandria, so stay tuned if you're near those areas!

Formal dress donations: Fairfax County Public Schools "Princess for a Night" program

I saw a posting in my community newsletter about Fairfax County Public Schools sponsoring its eighth annual Princess for a Night project. I love the concept of donating formal dresses to a place where they'll be used!

It's hard to find any info on the FCPS website, so I'll quote the Burke Connection for April 22-28, 2010.

This project "enables high school-age girls to attend prom without spending a lot of money. Community members can donate dry-cleaned spring and summer formal dresses, handbags, jewelry, unused makeup (such as sample cosmetics) and shopping bags from department stores through Friday, April 30. Winter dresses, soiled or outdated items, casual dresses or items for mature women will not be accepted. Donations can be brought to the following locations:

• Annandale High School, 4700 Medford Drive in Annandale, in the main office on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, between 9 am and 3 pm and at the Annandale Neighborhood Center (behind the school) Monday and Wednesday, 9 am to 3:30 pm
• South County Secondary School, 8501 Silverbrook Road in Lorton, Monday-Friday, between 7 am and 3:15 pm, in the main office

Get out those past formals and bridesmaids gowns for a great cause!

Consignment Sale this Weekend 4/17-4/18: Dani's Duds

Just a reminder!

Dani's Duds is a large consignment sale hosted at the Dulles Expo Center. I checked it out 3 years ago and was overwhelmed by the amount of merchandise, even on the second day during the half price sale! The website states that you'll save 90% off children's items.

Children's Consignment Sale: Saturday, October 17

The consignment sale I wrote about last week was a success! I came home with about one-sixth of what I tried to sell, so I'm very happy. It was a lot of work to get organized and ready for the sale, but I feel it was well worth it. Plus, I scored some deals on clothing, etc. for my toddler.

There is another Children's Consigment Sale coming up this weekend on Saturday, October 17. The ad I spotted in Chronicle Newspapers reads that it will offer gently used and like-new maternity and children's items at great prices. Sponsored by Grace Weekday Preschool and the MOMs Club of Springfield.

Here are the details:
8 am - 1 pm

FREE Admission Tip from A Reader for Today's Just Between Friends Sale!

Reader Heather told us about this sweet free admission deal for this weekend's Just Between Friends Sale, on today and tomorrow:

You can get free admission to the Just Between Friends sale on Saturday if you take the ad on page 13 of the April Washington Family magazine. I've seen free copies at libraries and outside CVS. You can view the magazine online too at www.washingtonfamily.com. I don't know if they will accept a print out of the ad for free admission but it is worth a shot if you can't find a copy of the magazine.

WOW! :) Thanks so much, Heather, for the tip!
