Mulberry Lane Kids Consignment Pop-Up

One Last Morning at Mulberry Lane

Mulberry Lane, the beloved play cafe on Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, is hosting a kids' consignment pop-up this Saturday, July 25 from 9am to 1pm, and there's a bittersweet edge to it: the Del Ray location has closed its regular doors while it transitions to a new business, so this pop-up is the last chance to walk through the space as it was. The sale itself is the good kind of chaos: tables and racks of gently used kids' clothing, baby gear, toys, and books at a fraction of what any of it costs new. If you've been putting off buying the next size up, this is the morning to fix that.

Admission is free, and they ask you to RSVP so they can plan for the crowd. The detail that makes this work better than most kids' sales: the play area stays open and stocked for the under-6 crowd, so one adult digs through the 3T bins in peace while the little ones actually enjoy themselves. Del Ray on a Saturday morning is easy to build around, too. The farmers market runs a few blocks up the avenue, and the whole strip is stroller-friendly with breakfast options every hundred feet.

Parent Tips 💡

• ✓RSVP ahead. It's free, but they're planning around the headcount, and it flags you for any early updates.
• ✓Show up at 9 for gear. Strollers, carriers, and big-ticket baby equipment always go in the first hour.
• ✓Bring your own tote. You will buy more than you planned. Everyone does.
• ✓Shop in shifts. One adult digs through bins while the other runs the play space. Trade at halftime.
• ✓Make it a Del Ray morning. The farmers market is up the avenue until noon, and the ice cream at the Dairy Godmother is a rite of passage.
