An Idea is Born

This has started as an idea that I am going to do...someday.  I would like to open a consignment store for one week selling wedding dresses, formal and semi-formal dresses, rodeo queen outfits, jewelry and shoes. It started out because I have bought my daughter a dress for Junior Prom and Homecoming.  She wore them once for two hours (long enough to take pictures) and will never wear them again.  WHY?  Because she has already worn them once.  They are still in beautiful condition.  They are gorgeous dresses that are too fancy for church.  But someone else needs to wear these again.  I've spent too much money on them to throw them away but they are too big to store.  I bet there are other moms in my same predicament.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was one place to sell these dresses to recoup some of my initial cost and buy another dress at 1/2 price.  A place where I knew there would be a variety of dresses available for the next Junior Prom.  A place I could have my daughters 3 dresses available for sale without me trying to sell them over the radio, internet or newspaper hoping someone would call.  Thus, A Formal Affair Consignment idea is born.
