Yard Sale Therapy

This morning, we went to a huge kids-stuff-only yard sale in a nearby town. They had some gear and toys, but mostly clothes.

I suppose there was some stuff for baby boys and big kids there somewhere but, evidently, our eyes are already trained to only see tiny and pink.

There were some incredible deals and we bought:

  • 36 outfits (newborn through 12 months)
  • 14 washcloths (for a buck!)
  • 4 bibs (including one to match one of the outfits)
  • 1 receiving blanket (with snowmen on it - perfect for Christmas time)
for a grand total of . . . . $42!!!

Here's the complete haul:


This one is Shrike's favorite - she calls it her "Dolly Parton Leisure Suit" because she thinks it looks like something Dolly would have worn in the 1970s.

(Shrike looooves Dolly.)

She says "I would expect Peeper to put it on and start singing "Here You Come Again."

It's a 3 - 6 month size, so it ought to fit in the Spring / early Summer, which would be great because it looks springy, with the colors and the butteflies, but is long sleeved/legged and heavy. (It's denim!)

That will be perfect for the three or four months that we have here when it seems like springtime, but it's still chilly.

This is my favorite. It's 0 - 3 month, so should fit at Christmas time. Notice the little reindeer on the toes!
