Overall we love Here We Grow Again – Northland because

• They make consignment shopping easy and organized
• You will find amazing deals on items for your kids
• The store has great lighting that helps create a happy shopping environment
• Environmentally friendly – you are giving a new life to items

Hours

The sale runs from April 19 thru April 22 –

• Thursday – Saturday: 10am to 8pm
• Saturday – Items with an * are 25% off
• Sunday: 10am to 7pm
• Items with an * are 50% off

Pricing

Items are priced by each individual consignor, so prices vary. The usual “rule of thumb” is that items are priced 25% to 35% of retail, but will fluctuate depending on the condition and demand for the item.

They take credit, debit, and cash. They do NOT take checks or American Express.

Sizing

The majority of items are for ages newborn to juniors. However, each season’s sale will differ depending on what consignors bring in. The majority of items are for kids ages newborn to 12 years. This sale does have juniors up to size 16, some maternity clothing and a small selection of adult sizes.

Sale Items

Here We Grow Again – Northland has various items for sale. They include: clothes, toys, strollers, car seats, safety equipment, baby carriers, pack-n-plays, etc. At this sale, they have a larger amount of girl’s clothes than boy’s clothes – which can be typical for a consignment sale. Some boy’s sizes have a larger selection than others. The sale is well organized and well-marked.

This year, the sale is color-coded to help shoppers locate gender-specific items. The pink, blue, and green floor coverings beneath the racks and tables will help you figure out where gender-specific items are located and save you precious time when searching through the great deals! It also adds to the organization and color of the sale. This sale is newer to the area and growing quickly. It is not as large as some of the more established sales around town, but you will still find many great items!

Here We Grow Again inspects all items that are brought in to be sold. The items must be clean and in good condition before they are put on the shelf. Many of the items have only been used a few times before a child grew out of it. Some items still include the original packaging and instructions. Here We Grow Again – Northland is very selective about the condition of the items –  many items look like they have never been used!

We suggest expectant moms shop at, at least, one consignment sale before they buy new items. We know there are certain things you want to be new. However, check out the sales for toys and other newborn items. You will be amazed at the quality and condition of the products.

Need to Know Before You Go:

We suggest you go on one of the first-sale days if you need a specific item or have a list of “must haves”. It is first-come-first-serve. There are, usually, multiples of toys and books, but the hot items move fast. Seasoned consignment shoppers arrive early because they know they will find quality items at great prices. The lines will be long – especially on opening and closing days. Be prepared to wait in line. Bring a book or something to entertain yourself while you wait.

Before you leave the house, take stock of what you need. It is very easy to become overwhelmed. Check shoe sizes and make a list of clothing items you will need for this season and the next. Also, think about the toys your child needs and will be growing into. They have toys for all ages. Stock up on toys your child will be using in a few months or years.

At the sale, be sure to check items larger than the sizes you need. Since some of the clothes that are gently used have been washed and may run small.

Insider Tips

• If possible, leave your children at home. The sale can be overwhelming and has toys. They might be tempted to play with all of them! If you have to bring them, load up on snacks and toys to keep them occupied.
• Bring bags, laundry baskets, or a cart to hold all of  the items you find. The sale has bags for shoppers to use, but they might run out on the busier days. They do not have shopping carts. Some moms bring empty strollers to haul their finds.
• Come early – you will have the best selection.
• Make a list of what you need – that way you will get all the things you need and other great finds you never knew you wanted!
• Go back to the sale on different days. You might have missed something you need and take advantage of the sales.

Insider Tips

• If possible, leave your children at home. The sale can be overwhelming and has tons of toys. They might be tempted to play with all of them! If you have to bring them, load up on snacks and toys to keep them occupied.

• Come early – it will be crowded, but you will have the best selection. If you want to beat the crowd – the sale was much slower on the second day – during the day. If you are able to take time out of your mid-day, it might be the best time to shop.
• Make a list of what you need – that way you will get all the things you need and other great finds you never knew you wanted!

• Friday: 9am to 8pm. Select items are 50% off

Pricing

Items are priced by each individual consigner, so prices vary. The usual “rule of thumb” is that items are priced 25% to 35% of retail, but will fluctuate depending on the condition and demand for the item. Many of the items they have for sale this year are designer brands or labels, including maternity clothes. For example, designer maternity jeans for $40 or a Coach diaper bag for $50. These items are priced a bit higher than other brands, but are a steal compared to retail!

They take credit, debit, cash and checks. They do NOT accept American Express.

Sizing

The majority of items are for sizes newborn to size 20. However, each season’s sale will differ depending on what consigners bring in.

Sale and Sale Items

Rhea Lana is rapidly growing and the inventory is increasing every sale.  Sale items include: girls and boys clothes, toys, strollers, swings, bouncy seats, safety equipment, breast pumps, baby carriers, riding toys, outdoor toys, etc. They also sell new Melissa & Doug puzzles, books, and games.

The sale is located in the former Macy’s Home Store space in the Prairie Village Shopping Center – next to Einstein Bros. Bagels. It is a large space, but it has filled up quickly. The front of the store has clothes and strollers with back housing most of the toys, riding toys, room décor, and furniture.

The sale organizers to a fantastic job of bagging matching pairs of shoes and joining “like” items.  They have well-marked bins dedicated to shoes and socks. This sale, as most, has more girls clothes then boy clothes. That is to be expected. Don’t worry – you will find great items for boys, too.

All items sold at Rhea Lana sales are to be clean and in good condition before they are sold. Many of the items have only been used a few times before a child grew out it. Some items still include the original packaging and instructions. Some consigners will include information on each item that specifies the product and the original retail price. You can tell what a deal you are getting!

We suggest expectant moms shop at, at least, one consignment sale before they buy new items. We know there are certain items you want to be new. However, check out the sales for toys and other newborn items. You will be amazed at the quality and condition of the items. At Rhea Lana, you will also have an extensive collection of maternity clothes to choose from.

Insider Tips

• If possible, leave your children at home. The sale can be overwhelming and has exciting toys. They might be tempted to play with all of them!  If you have to bring them, load up on snacks and toys to keep them occupied. Also, bring a smaller stroller – there is not much room to maneuver a large one.
• Bring bags or laundry baskets to hold all of the items you find. The sale does have a limited amount of tubs for shoppers to use while they are in the store, but you’ll want something to take your finds home in! Some moms bring empty strollers to haul their purchases.
• Come early – it will be crowded, but you will have the best selection.
• Make a list of what you need – that way you will get all the things you need and other great finds you never knew you wanted!
• Come back on another day. You might see something you missed! Also, you will get great deals on the last 2 days of the sale.
