I received an email today about a unique consignment concept that Orlando moms have the chance to participate in. Boutique for a Week is similar to traditional consignment except that it's a temporary shop with a somewhat higher return. From the BfoW website:

At Boutique for a Week:

• You earn 2/3 of the selling price of every item you consign.
• Hundreds of shoppers look at your items in a week’s time.
• Boutique for a Week takes care of the all the advertising – TV, Newsprint, Radio, Community Updates, Children’s Publications, etc.
• You set the price of your items.
• Shoppers enjoy a climate controlled environment.
• At the end of the week, when the sale is done, you pick up your check

I am hoping to participate in the Boutique scheduled for the end of October. It would be great to do it with some friends. Take some time now to get familiar with the concept and the process. Some of it seems a little complicated on paper, but I think the application of it will work great. Let me know what you think!!

Thanks to Virginia Knowles for the tip!!

Of course The Olympic Games pretty much steal the spotlight right now. Randy Alcorn has a terrific post about the conflict between supporting the Olympics generally and disdaining China's human rights record. I always find his perspectives to be balances and Biblical.

In our own Olympic news, the kids are loving The Games. Jason was running sprints in the back yard today. And they have been pretty impressed with gymnasts so we figured it wouldn't be too early to start them training for the 2020 Olympic team.

They actually might be more likely to go out for cycling. Family bike rides are turning into The Big Thing around here. Here are 3/4 of us getting ready to for an evening ride.

Don't you love the pink??

Is is a problem if I open Google Reader and have +200 unread articles?
