As cooler fall weather approaches, it’s finally time to think about packing up those summer shorts and stocking up on long-sleeved shirts, pants, sweaters and jackets. But why buy new when you can save money on gently-used items? When you’re in need of children’s clothing, toys, books and baby gear, you can head to the Fairytale Threads Consignment Event for quality items at great prices.

Fairytale Threads is held several times throughout the year, designed to turn clutter into cash and gives you the opportunity to shop for bargains. It’s also locally owned and operated, and completely run by moms.

The fall event will be open to the public with free admission on Thursday, October 20 through Saturday, October 22 at the Austin Sports Center. Or if you want to be among the first at the sale, you can attend the Super Shopper Presale on Tuesday, October 18 or Wednesday, October 19 for $10 admission. Scroll down this page to enter to win a pair of presale passes & $50 gift certificate!
