Huge gently used toy sale in Mill Creek this Friday and Saturday

Wednesday, December 5, 2012



Recognizing that countless, gently used toys are sitting around homes no longer being used or played with, area moms are gathering up the items their children have outgrown to sell them with hopes they will end up under the tree for other children this Holiday Season.

“It’s really all about recycling and repurposing,” said Heidi Esola, Event Coordinator of the Lynnwood area Just Between Friends (JBF) Children’s Consignment Sales Events. “The beauty of these events,” said Esola “is that we inspire families to take a good look at their homes a few times a year and to consign unused items at one of our events since the items still have significant value and life left in them for a second home. In addition, JBF offers families a convenient alternative to rid of these items providing a financial payout at the end of the sale.”

The Just Between Friends Toy Sale / Holiday Bazaar will be held at the Gold Creek Church in Mill Creek, 4326 – 148th St. SE on Friday, December 7th (9am - 7pm) and Saturday, December 8th (8am – 3pm) when many items will be 50% off after 1pm. If you are a first time parent, in the military, or a teacher, you can pre-register for the PreSale event to shop before the general public.

In addition to toys, puzzles, books and games, the event will also be selling baby equipment, holiday clothing and decorations and even a special section called “Mommy Mart.”. 

There is a $2 admission fee on the first day of the event, Friday, December 7th, but there is a free admission coupon on the website or you can get in free with the donation of canned food, new pajamas or a new, unwrapped toy benefitting Toys for Tots and the Holly House.

At the end of the sale, a number of the unsold items will be donated to the Holly House, a grass-roots volunteer fun organization that Just Between Friends Lynnwood has partnered with. The Holly House is entirely funded by donations and is in its 6th year serving poverty level children in Snohomish program. The three programs they run are 1) Toys and Gifts program during the Holidays, 2) a School Backpack Program and 3) a Bike Program.
