Grand Opening

These last six months, aside from having a baby, I have been busy getting everything ready for our eBay store, LeeLy's Closet, which we opened for business on Sunday. Here are a few Q & A's that I can think of off the top of my head...

1) What are we selling? Children's clothes mainly from Gymboree, but some Janie and Jack; Robeez Tredz and crib shoes; and a handful of odds and ends
2) How did I come up with this idea? I noticed that there was a huge market for children's clothing while bidding on a "lot" auction for some spring/summer clothes for Lydia back in late January. After doing some major research, I found that with the great deals that Gymboree had to offer, I could actually make a profit in doing something that I love...shopping! Plus, as a stay at home mom, I do have some extra time on my hands when the girls are napping, so I figured this could keep me busy, um, busier.
3) How did we come up with the store name? It seems pretty self explanatory for those who know my maiden name "Lee", but it goes a little bit beyond that. I pitched the eBay store idea to my brother Mike, who thought it would be interesting to invest in my endeavor, so the store name is comprised of his last name and my last name. As for "closet", well, just LeeLy's seemed pretty plain, so we thought of various nouns and felt that "closet" was the most appropriate and sounded the best.

Here are some pictures of the backbone of our store...lots and lots of clothes!

Here I was taking a break (catching up on some Dancing with the Stars) after finally getting organized; Sophie was born four days later.

Let the shopping begin!
