ย  First of all, I donโ€™t think I ever updated you guys about how our Saturday Sale went last time.

Practically everything sold (you can go back and check on the items left to see if thereโ€™s something you still want).

With 25% of the proceeds going to PCM, we raised $73 to help support orphans and pastorsโ€™ kids in Uganda.

In fact, it was enough to sponsor one of their orphans for 2 whole months!

Woot!

(Iโ€™m thinking thatโ€™s exactly what weโ€™re going to do with the proceeds from Shop My Closet sales from here on out! That way, I can show you guys a name/face to connect with/pray for; Iโ€™ll keep you posted!)

OKAY!

The sale will go down pretty much the same as it did last time, except this time, I think weโ€™ll give 30% to PCM! : )

Just in case you havenโ€™t seen the โ€œfine printโ€ yet or donโ€™t remember, read on, dear friends.

PLEASE read everything at least once! Itโ€™ll help me (and you) out so much!

SHIPPING: $2/item for all clothes but jeans, which will be $5 each.ย  Also, $6 for shoes.ย  Shipping wonโ€™t exceed $20 for clothes or $25 for shoes, no matter how many items you buy (this is strictly for U.S. residents. If my awesome Canadian readers see something they canโ€™t live without, we can probably make it work, but Iโ€™ll have to do a little shipping research. Iโ€™m afraid I wonโ€™t be shipping outside of the U.S./Canada, though. Sorry!).

PAYMENT: Once I have specific buyers for specific items, I will bill you via PayPal, so youโ€™ll need an account. Even if you donโ€™t already have one, setting one up is easy-peasy, very safe (and fairly convenient to have for other circumstances).

PRICING: Iโ€™ve put prices on here that I see as fair for used items in good to excellent condition (though some are New with Tags) that I took the time to find/buy/post. The starting prices are firm, Iโ€™m afraid.

โ€œBIDDING:โ€ I wonโ€™t be responding to specific bids for at least one full dayโ€ฆmaybe more, depending on the level of interest in a specific item (unless you have a question), at which point I will assess how many people are interested in the same items.

I will then contact each person once with a chance to โ€œup their bidโ€ from the base price. Whoever places the highest bid at that point wins the item.

Obviously, for those items that only get one personโ€™s interest, the price stays as listed.

**I am doing this for one reason only: Iโ€™m donating 30% of the proceeds to:

ย Parental Care Ministries: The Father's Love in Action

โ€ฆand Iโ€™ll shamelessly take as much money as we can raise from this little shindig. : )

TIME FRAME: I will likely ship the items in bulk once I know for sure which are items belong where and have everything packed up, so please be patient with me. I so appreciate it!

this is the most important part! : )

CONTACT ME: Please reply by email to to blogabbie{at}gmail{dot}com (NOT in the comments section) with the item # (on bottom righthand side of the pics) of the pieces youโ€™re interested in in the heading of your email, so I can make sure they all go to the right spot.

QUESTIONS: All specific questions about items can be sent to blogabbie{at}gmail{dot}com.

Iโ€™ve tried to be as detailed as possible, but you are, of course, welcome to ask away! : )

WRINKLES: Please try to ignore them as they are no indication of the itemโ€™s condition.

SIZING: Iโ€™ve tried to include as many pictures as I could find of me actually wearing the items so you could see how they fit on a real body, but some of the items arenโ€™t in my size or Iโ€™ve never worn.ย 

As a point of reference for the items that are, I am between 5โ€™6โ€ and 5โ€™7โ€ and generally wear between a size 2-4 or 26-27 in pants and an x-small (if it runs a little bigโ€ฆwhich a whole lot do these days) or a small in tops.

Also, if an item says โ€œtrue-to-size,โ€ then that means that if your jeans size is almost always a 27, then these jeans will fit you.ย  Or if you are a size small in most brands, then a true-to-size small will fit you.

Phew! All those longwinded explanations wear me out!

Letโ€™s get this party started!

Okay, so last week, I mentioned a giveaway on Friday but didnโ€™t get a chance to post it, and then we passed up 1,500 followers on GFC the very same day (yippeee!), and so I thought it was high time we had that there giveaway!

Howโ€™s about $25 to help you smell pretty while you wear your new Shop My Closet duds? ; )

  1. Okay, so I love your blog and read it all the time, but this will be my first time to take part in bidding, so I may not be doing it correctly. I do follow you publicly and have “liked” you on Facebook. I would like to bid on the Nike shoes #29.

  2. I’m just throwing this out there…I don’t think anybody else could host a “Shop My Closet” and have shoes suitable for a size range like yours…6-11?! That’s an impressive mix!

  3. Hi Abbie, you make me smile! I’ve liked you on Facebook and have subscribed to your emails but now I follow you on Google! (I think I created a blog somehow….)

  4. I love shopping your closet! And I’m a follower, and love it! As a side note, totally doing my own thing to raise money for Uganda. Our church just did a really cool walk for water to help support the town of Ballisa Uganda that we support as a group and also individually since we have a World Vision sponsored child named Moses. Our goal is to go there on a mission trip as a family as my kids get older. So I totally love what you are doing! They need the help.

  5. I am a public follower ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m sorry my body is too big and my feet are too small for your sale ๐Ÿ™

  6. I must be blog illiterate because i have no idea what “become a public follower” means, but I like you on Facebook so I hope that counts!

  7. Wow, I’m already subscribed by e-mail and a FB follower. I love your daily updates. They make me smile too, what a great symbiotic relationship ๐Ÿ™‚ I also shared the giveaway on FB for all my great friends to follow!! P.S. Congrats on the baby. Praying that you are well and the baby will be born healthy!!

I love hearing from you guys!
