a funny thing happened on the way to the consignment shop...

Or I should say, while at the consignment shop.  My parents had some bulky items they wanted to take to the consignment shop.  So rather than them bring the stuff to my house, and then I lug it with Amelia in tow to the shop, I made special arrangements for them to drop it off last Friday.  Or so I thought.  We drove there in a monsoon, only to find that the info had not been passed on to the staff working that day.  The owner begrudgingly accepted my parents' two oak book shelves and a large wooden wine rack. I turn around, and my parents are looking at a chair.  Next thing I know, they are buying said chair and I am helping Dad get it into the back of their car.  I think the owner was eating a little bit of humble pie after they made such a big purchase.

And to top it off, the book shelves had both sold by the time I went in Tuesday morning!  I should get some sort of bonus...I made that store a lot of money in the past week!
