Yesterday afternoon i waited for my hubby to get home. He came in the door i passed off one kid and said the other was sleeping, kissed him goodbye and went on my way to something i look forward to that only happens twice a year. CONSIGNMENT SALE! This is the place were savvy/thrifty mothers go to stock up on their kids wardrobe for the upcoming season. Not only the wardrobe but toys or other baby or child items (bedding, strollers, highchairs, walkers). I'm lucky to live in a place were there are multiple consignment sales. My husband loves that i'm a thrifty/frugal mom. So he gladly lets me take part in all this madness. I say madness because their are some mothers out there that are serious about the sales....they will knock you over for a pretty dress. I'm not THAT serious about it....but i do enjoy going. I go looking for those otherwise "High Dollar" Items. I'm not going to spend $60+ for a dress or outfit at one of those boutique stores. And this allows me to get that dress or outfit for a third of the price. I had a few items i wanted to look for....walker for my 6 month old, Dora DVD's, Easter Dress, Smocked dresses, Smocked John Johns. I'm a southern mother...i love anything and everything smocked. :) I totally scored some knockout dresses for my girl and matching John johns for my boy. They are set for spring and summer. AND lil'miss got a Dora DVD to watch today. I spent ALL the money my hubby gave me. Oops....i have another sale to go to Monday! I'll have to scratch up a little money for that one. But all in all i found everything i was looking for at this sale. If you have never been to a Consignment sale....look online and see if there are any in your local area. You might enjoy it...i sure do. And so does my husbands wallet....HA! Here are some pics (sneak peek) of SOME of my Loot!!
Blue and White Strasburg (I love putting blue on my girl)!
Green & White Set.....just to cute for words....
This isn't a set but i made it one...the pink poodle dress is one that i have been looking for for my sweet girl...and it has this shade of sea green in it...so i put this with it. I think it looks good together.
This is the Easter dress....
Close up....sweet little chic and eggs...perfect!!!
A few of the outfits......didn't take pics of all of it. Just to much.
Cute -E-Pie John johns.
4th of July and Beach wear.......
