"I have enjoyed being a part of Bumblebees and Ladybugs from its inception.
I was immediately taken by the vision of its creators. They have such a love
for children, family, people and finding a WHALE of a bargain. Everything has
been done with such integrity, class and with both the consigner and shopper in
mind. It's been amazing to watch the sale grow to become a staple of the community.
Businesses and consumers have embraced Bumblebees and Ladybugs and are excited
to see the flyers and signs appear each spring and fall. I have personally benefited from selling my children's items and buying name
brand clothing, toys, items that cannot be found in the area. Having access to
clothing that originates from retailers throughout the state and beyond is a joy. The "thrill of the hunt" begins soon. If you haven't been a part of Bumblebees
and Ladybugs before, you will be quite taken by the organization, quality and
warmth of this event. If you have been there, you are as excited as I am and
have your calendar marked well. I hope to see you soon!"

"Thank you so much for offering such a great opportunity to the area! I was
shocked yesterday when I opened the enveope with my check in it!! I doubled my goal!! Now that I know what needs to be done I can start tagging and hanging my stuff
for the spring sale! I also had a lot of fun volunteering. You guys were very organized and I appreciate that also! Way to go!!" ~Gina W., consignor at the first Grand Island sale
"I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with our consignors and volunteers
these past sales...you all make it so much FUN! I love organizing a Bumblebees
& Ladybugs event and know you will enjoy participating, too!
As a budget-minded mom, I know how frustrating and inefficient the garage sale/ thrift store/ end-of-the-season
clearance rack cycle is. I was finding it increasingly difficult to clothe my own children in this manner,
but now I am looking forward to getting their seasonal clothes at our consignment
sale. I've been freed from storing clothes! Liberate yourself by participating
in our next sale. You will be glad you did! I look forward to meeting you then!"
~ Paula Sandberg, Bumblebees & Ladybugs co-founder
"The first time I went to a semi-annual children's consignment sale I was hooked
- it was so FUN! I was living in Florida and shopped because a friend told me about it. It was
the last day so everything was half-priced. I got some great maternity clothes
and other items. The next sale I consigned. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and I met my goal. I sold enough
items to cover the cost of everything new I bought!
My husband, daughter, and I moved back to Nebraska and the rest is history!
Paula and I decided to start Bumblebees & Ladybugs because we saw the need
for a sale here. I look forward to seeing you at the sale!"
~ Angela Barrere, Bumblebees & Ladybugs co-founder
I think this is a great event. I'm always encouraging my friends to consign or
shop this event. It helps when my checks are so big! :) I'm looking forward to the Spring sale!!"

"In looking at your website I was happy to see that unclaimed clothes are donated
to the
SAFE
Center
. We also utilize their services for our victims. The Family Advocacy Network
assists Law Enforcement and HHS in the investigation of child abuse and sexual
assaults. We rely on the SAFE center for services and sometimes for a clean outfit...
it is still amazing to me how much it means to a 5 year old girl to have a CLEAN
cute pink sweat suit, to her it means a lot. Sorry to ramble, just wanted you
to know the importance of your donations!" Jamie D. Irwin, Forensic Interview Specialist, Family Advocacy Network, Good
Samaritan Hospital
"Wow! Thanks so much to you and your crew for all of the super donations! We
have had lots of clients in here who have greatly benefited from all of the clothes
for their kids. Thank you for helping us out –it is greatly appreciated!" ~ Nikki Gausman, CSW, S.A.F.E. Center
"I was at the sale and bought a ton for my triplets. I have been to the multiple
sales in Omaha but this is way more organized and easier to shop."
~ Chrystal D.
"I was really impressed with your sale...it was so organized, and the workers were very friendly!"
~ Pam L., Kearney
"Bumblebees and Ladybugs consignment sales is one of the best sales I have ever been to. I was able to buy summer clothes for all three of my children that were great
quality, brands and prices. I ended up with two laundry baskets full of amazing
stuff for my kids and just when I was getting a bit nervous about the amount of
money I spent overall, I got a check in the mail for the items I consigned. It
totally covered my expenses and I made way more than I could ever have made selling
my things at a yard sale.
