I was quite successful at the yard sales this weekend in my hunt for baby objects. I found a good handful of baby clothes 0-12months that were in the green/yellow/blue range. A darling little sleeper with a blue moose on it too! I also found out the great store that is Once Upon a Child which sells new/gently used baby stuff at really great prices. We have two in the Grand Rapids area and might check them out when do some hard core crib shopping.
There is just so much baby do-dads I am having a hard time figuring out exactly what I NEED versus what looks really COOL. My greatest bargain of the weekend was a
toy chest. . . in the shape of a pirate ship! How awesome is that! I passed it up early in the morning 'cause the lady wanted $20 and wouldn't take $15. However, three hours later I was still thinking of the darn thing and went on back to the sale. She had taken 50% off her remaining items, including the toy chest! YEAH! $10 and it was mine. It has a little treasure chest, a wheel that spins, and even a plank that pulls out! Brian thought it was way too cool and way too
appropriate for gypsies like us :-)
e bright modern themes for our new little one's room. Perhaps blue/green walls with bright circle accents. I like the idea of keeping things hip an a little mod instead of the traditional pastel lambs/ angels/ winnie the pooh items. I think our next steps will be choosing a crib, then some cool bedding that is reasonably priced, and from that choose the wall colors. I love the idea of stripes and circles :-)
