Accepted Items

Children’s Clothing Sizes Preemie to Youth 18:

Every item brought to the sale will be inspected for stains, holes, and excessive wear and tear. Items should come from a smoke free home and anything with even a hint of a smoke, musty, or mildew type of smell will not be accepted. Consignors are expected to do their own inspection and avoid bringing items that don’t meet these standards. Clothing should be in style and current (meaning it should have been purchased within the past 2-3 years). 

There is a limit of 50 inventory items per gender for clothing in sizes 0 to 24 months. We encourage consignors to bundle 2 to 3 like-sized items together, only bring your best in these sizes, and be sure you are opting to include these sizes for discount on the last day of the sale.

Accepted YEAR ROUND: costumes and dress up clothes, swimsuits, lightweight jackets, jeans and khakis, pajamas of all kinds & fabrics (except holiday themed in the opposite season), long sleeved tees, short sleeved tees, sports clothing and accessories.
Note: Halloween costumes are accepted year-round, but will sell better in the fall.

Not Accepted at the SPRING sale: winter coats and cold weather accessories, snowsuits, heavy sweaters and fleece or plaid lined pants, fall and winter themed & holiday items 

Not Accepted at the FALL sale: lightweight/linen blend sun dresses, summer-themed clothing (4th of July, beach themed, etc.), shorts (except athletic shorts such as basketball or soccer style shorts)

Shoes, hats and accessories MUST BE in great condition and should generally follow the same seasonal guidelines as clothing. Athletic slides and Crocs will be accepted year-round. Socks are not accepted at the sale unless new in package.

Cloth Diapers-LIMIT OF 10 (slight, typical staining is okay for cloth diapers, but the condition of the diaper & elastics should be excellent) 

• Toys of all kinds are in HIGH DEMAND!
• Games
• Puzzles
• Books (Limit of 100 per consignor for kids books & 10 per consignor for adult frontlist books)
• DVDs (Limit of 10 per consignor)
• Arts & Crafts
• Stuffed Animals-Please note we will be VERY selective about stuffed animals. We will accept excellent condition, name brand stuffed animals, but we will not accept aged or tattered items or ones that do not have a name brand tag or aren’t a recognizable character.

TEEN & ADULT ITEMS:

• CLOTHING & SHOES: Because we now have our sister sale, Wardrobe Revival, we will no longer have a space on the Little Bird Lane sales floor for a women’s/juniors clothing section. We will, however, accept brands such as Nike, Under Armour, American Eagle, etc. that will be of interest to a teen/tween shopper. These items, though maybe sized as adult, should be placed in your inventory as the applicable kids size, up to size Youth 18. Please do your best to add the item to the applicable girls or boys size (12, 14, etc.).

  This also means we will not have an adult coats section or a spirit wear section, unless those items are name brand and can fit into the kids sizing as mentioned above.

  We will accept name brand athletic shoes up to size 12 in men’s and women’s. But no dress shoes, heels, sandals, flip flops, or items that would not appeal to a teen/tween shopper.

  If you have high quality, recently purchased women’s or juniors items, please check out Wardrobe Revival. This is a twice annual event focused on name brand clothing, shoes, purses, bags, and home decor. The next Wardrobe Revival sale will be held May 29-31, 2026, at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds.

• HOME & HOLIDAY DECOR: Must be excellent condition and current in terms of design and style (farmhouse, modern, boho, etc.). Glass items like bowls/vases will not be accepted. Used candles will not be accepted. Kitchen items such as plates, glasses, etc. will not be accepted. Small appliances such as blenders, coffee makers, toasters, etc. will not be accepted. Mirrors will be accepted on a very selective basis (very current styles only and no “plain” inexpensive, rectangular mirrors). Alcohol or adult focused decor items will not be accepted (example: picture of wine bottles, wine bottle holder, etc.) Holiday decor will follow the same seasonal acceptance policies as the regular sale items–fall/winter holiday items at the fall sale, spring/summer holiday items at the spring sale. LIMIT of 10 items per consignor for each category of adult & holiday decor.
