Wee World consignment store offers affordable clothing for kids - MySanAntonio

Posted: 04 Nov 2010 09:26 AM PDT

Sisters Alicia Autrey and Kim Barton have a mission – providing a store for kids' clothes at affordable prices.

"As moms, we know what it's like trying to shop for kids," Barton said. "We know what it's like when you can't find what you need and don't want to pay high prices. So we wanted to make it easy for families."

Both women are long-time consignment shoppers.

When Barton moved to Bulverde, she was frustrated with the lack of children's consignment shops and indoor play areas. She called Autry and suggested opening a business that would combine a children's consignment shop with a safe indoor play area. Because Autrey was living in Austin, it was a leap of faith.

They decided to open Wee World in May. So far, the word has spread rapidly to budget-conscious moms.

"I have three kids, and they grow so fast," shopper and consigner Sharon Shivey said. "They're only in their clothes such a short amount of time that it's not worth it to me to pay full retail prices."

In addition, Shivey says being able to consign allows her to not only rid herself of excess clothes and baby items no longer useable and she gets store credit as well as cash.

"I bring my daughter to Wee World to buy toys," Shivey said. "I took her to Wal-Mart once and she had $12 and couldn't find anything under $20. Here, she can get whatever she wants."

Inside Wee World, children can play in an indoor-play area while moms shop for everything from toys and books to clothes and shoes.

Moms can either shop, consign items or just let their children play for $4 a day per child.

Police in Olathe, Kan., said they have found an 8-year-old boy who did not turn up at his elementary school on Wednesday morning.

Police said the boy was in good condition and has been reunited with family members.

Police officers had been searching the area near 153rd and Brentwood streets for Jordan Wynn. KMBC-TV reported that he was found in a field west from the bus stop.

A police dog and a canine officer found Jordan at 2:35 p.m.

Witnesses said his grandmother embraced him tightly after he was found. His mother was at the Olathe Police Department's headquarters when searchers found him.

One relative exclaimed, "Thank you Jesus!" after seeing a safe Jordan. Another woman appeared to faint. Amid the outpouring of relief from women around him, Jordan's face contorted with emotion. Tears eventually rolled down his cheeks as he clutched his backpack.

"It's OK, we've got you now," a woman said in comforting the boy.

The search for Jordan started after the boy's school -- Madison Place Elementary -- notified Jordan's family that he was missing. He was last seen about 8 a.m. Police were notified about 10:30 a.m.

Police said Jordan said he missed his bus. When he went home, his mother's car was gone and he got frightened.
