Every time I have to go to base, I make the trip worthwhile by stopping by the thrift store. :) There is usually no shortage of baby things here, well, since people are constantly having babies here. LOL Last week, I found 30 (!!!) baby washcloths. I'm guessing they were all donated at once, too, since they were all folded and packed together. I can't imagine needing 30 for baths, but for cloth wipes!!! yeah baby! My friend, D, found the little bath robe with the bunny. And I found that little red striped outfit from Old Navy. Cutest thing I've seen! The blanket in the background is so cute, it almost made me want to change the girl's room to a jungle theme, but I still want to do the woodland creature theme. :) I bought it anyway, since we have no carpet in the house, and I'll need blankets anyway for the baby to lay on. There have been a ton of other finds, too: cloth diapers, swaddling blankets, baby house shoes (that Carlee presently uses to "skate" around the house,) prenatal dvds, and a hand crocheted (!!! how could anyone donate this!?!!!!) christening outfit complete with a hat, booties, and gloves! So cool. :D

I bought almost all of Mabel's stuff from there! Even if I saw something super cute in like size 3T, I picked it up. $3 bags are the best!!! I miss those. Now I spend about $50 at thrift stores. :D I'm still buying her used stuff. I found some awesome consignment shops. I even find Cale stuff, which is normally hard because boys play so hard and ruin their clothes at this age.
I'm going to send you a few of Mabel's outfits. What do you need? Pajamas, onesies, cute outfits, let me know, I have a ton of each.
Aw Emy, thanks! I'd appreciate whatever you want to send! :) Right now, I have a few of each, but still have little over all. I had gotten rid of all of Carlee's baby stuff a long time ago. So, I'm slowly adding stuff to the baby's stack. :)
I miss that thrift store-none here have thoses kind of prices!!! Stock up while you can! Nat
There's this great place near my house that I've never been to but I keep hearing about it, gently used clothing and they'll give you store credit for things you bring in... I really need to go check it out. They have those $3 bags too. I have no idea why I've not been yet? Considering how expensive all those clothes are. I love the blanket you found!!
Nat- aw that stinks that none of the thrift stores in your area are that good. :( How are the garage sales there? Have you been to any?
Loraloo- aw man! You should definitely check it out! Places like that have the most awesome some just waiting for the right person to find it. :D I love thrift stores and garage sales. hehe :)
*awesome stuff* I mean :)
