100th Post........

WOW! I can't believe i have made it to my 100th post! Hurray! Today is Saturday...i usually don't post on the weekend BUT i'm going to be M.I.A. for at least a week. So i thought i would get on here and post a few things. This week i have done alot of cleaning and organizing and SELLING!! That is right...i have been selling away and making some MOOOOOLLLLAAA!!! hehe! First off i started cleaning out my daughters closet and pulled out some dresses that i could bring myself to part with and posted them on Craigslist...i so Heart Craigslist. Cause it is Free-O-La to do so. I sold all the clothes that i could part with and made some bucks to put in her piggy bank for a rainy day and for the next spring consignment sale. :) I did take her to Costco yesterday after i made a sale and let her pick out something. Got the cutest Baby Lulu outfit and a Card Matching set by Paul Frank. She loves it.
I have also been sewing and painting and crafting quite a bit....i will post some pics of what i have been up to later. The house is coming along. :) So i'm busy decorating. My favorite part of it all. I have alot on my list of things to sew for it. Curtains is #1 on the list. Can't wait to pick out all the fabric. :)

Mega Deals Monday........

Today was another consignment sale...the last of this season. Boy did i get some great deals!! I only took $50.00 with me this time. And i got soooooo many cute things for my kids. I got this gorgeous white knitted dress coat. Yes i do own the same coat but in Pink...hehe!! But i had wanted a white one aswell. Pink and brown giraffe dress (gymboree), Smocked pants outfit with a cute little snail design, Polkadot pant set, Black & White Pant Outfit (Fantasia Too) and several other cute outfits. Also picked up a buggy cart cover that is just adorable. And a dvd for my little girl that just LOVES Miss Spider. Goodies Galore!!!! :)

Goodies......

Can a girl have "TO MANY" clothes? I think so. Today i tried to tackle my daughters closet and it was a job. She had an abundance of summer clothing. In fact i'm struggling to make sure she wears all the cute things at least once. But now i'm wanting her to start wearing her new cute fall items. Yesterday i went to a local consignment sale looking for some fall and winter clothes for her and got a few things...i was alittle disappointed in what i found. Nothing at all like what i found for her at last years consignment sale. Anyway... i had already put back a "few" things last fall for her that i had got on sale and forgot about so that is good. There are 2 more sales that i want to hit up in the next few weeks though. Maybe i will find a few more things. I only found her 2 smocked items...but they are super cute!! I'm so in love with the christmas smocked dress i found it is brand new with tags. I'm a sucker for polkadots! :) I also found her 2 very cute dress coats for church. 1 pair of jeans. 2 Gymboree outfits that are perfect for fall. 1 reversable "Kellys Kids" dress that she is going to wear to the pumpkin patch. A Kelly's Kids Jumper that is perfect for monogramming. 1 white sweater that i'm going to have monogrammed too. And 5 Big boutique bows. Bright pink, light pink, white, black and pink and brown. That is it for the clothes. I did find 2 Great toys too! That is it. I wanted to find some shoes but no luck there. And absolutly nothing for baby boy! :(

Fall Shopping......

So i went online today to look at Strasburg's new fall line. And what did i find?? Lower prices!!!! That is great news for a frugal mom that loves to put my little Southern Bell in Strasburg clothing. Gearing up for fall i'm getting all of last years clothes out to consign. Sales start around the end of August and first of September around here. As i have said before it is the best place to find gently worn or new items at GREAT prices.

Baby Boy is still Baking away....i'm so ready for him to get here. Got his bedding all ready and clothes all washed. My baby shower was AWESOME!!! He got everything he could possibly need and more. One of the ladies even hand smocked a little outfit for him. :) They all know me all to well and know that I LOVE anything smocked!! hehe!!

I have been making my list of things i need to get started sewing on. Can't wait to start making baby boy some little outfits and things. I will be blogging about those soon. :) As for now i'm just trying to keep up with my little 18 month old and much to tired to start on anything else. Not to mention i don't have my sewing room up and running. It is being used as a storage area right now while we are still working away on our new house. Good news though....our Master bedroom should be done by this weekend! Can't wait, Can't wait to decorate!!!!

I Love A Good Deal.....

I don't know about you but i try to be as thrifty as possible. And even more so now that i'm a stay at home mom. I love a great deal. I also love to put my little darling in boutique clothing. She is a southern girl! :) And anything smocked is top on my list. I love, love, love Strasburg! That is my favorite store! But with that comes a pretty heafty price. So i shop the sales. Yesterday i went to the local (twice a year) consignment sale. I found my little princess so many goodies (still new with tags) and it was so much fun. I got home and washed it all up and hung it in her closet. Posted are a few of my finds.
