What to watch: Rhea Lana’s Midland-Odessa children’s consignment sale returns Feb. 22-25, at the Midland County Horseshoe Arena. This family-friendly event features gently used children’s clothing and shoes, baby gear, maternity items, and more at deep discounts, making it a smart stop for expecting, new, and seasoned mothers alike.

The big picture: When you think of second-hand baby clothes, you might picture stained or outdated items in a cramped thrift store. Rhea Lana’s flips that idea on its head, offering high-quality, like-new items at resale prices.

The sale features thousands of carefully inspected pieces for newborns through teens. Shoppers can browse everything from strollers, cribs, and diaper bags to outfits, toys, and books. Items are organized by size and gender for easy shopping, and there’s a strong selection of maternity and nursing essentials for every stage of motherhood.

Most items are priced 65–90% below retail, making it a one-stop shop for families looking to stretch their budget.

What they’re saying: Long-time consigner Tammy Worley says the event has become both practical and meaningful for her family.

“I’ve enjoyed selling at Rhea Lana for several years, it’s become a fun hobby with a purpose,” she said. “My friends donate their children’s clothing to me as an investment. They see the direct benefit from it as opposed to donating to a local thrift store. By making extra income, and through my benefits as a consigner, I’m able to bless my family, friends, and their children in need. In a world of consumerism, Rhea Lana provides a great way to recycle items you have that others need, while keeping a high quality standard.”

Catch up quick: Founder Rhea Lana Riner launched the business in 1997 from her living room with 11 friends and three racks of clothes. Her vision was to help moms sell their kids’ clothes for a fair price and help other families buy quality items at affordable prices.
