Today was TOT SWAP day!
(and, no, that doesn't mean you get to trade your tot in for a new one! LOL).
And I just couldn't resist these mini wooden rocking chairs for only $2.
Look how {CUTE} I am! (and dusty! LOL)

Basically it is a huge consignment sale with clothes, toys, baby gear, etc. and it is held in my area twice a year - spring and fall. Each season, I am typically "good to go" with clothes for Boogey -- she gets lots of hand-me-downs from her big sis, plus I've got a really good "sharing" deal with a friend of mine whose daughter is sized in between my 2 girls.
But SweetPea is a different story. For starters, she's huge (read "tall") for her age -- she is not even 4 yet but needs size 5 clothes for length. Plus, I don't have anyone bigger/older than her to share with. (Well, that isn't entirely true... I have received a ton of stuff from my niece, but SweetPea won't fit in any of it until next winter). So, I basically need to buy an entire winter wardrobe for her each season.

Enter.... TOT SWAP! I spent about 2 hours this morning sifting through the racks and racks of clothes and piles of books and toys...
I ended up with:
(please pardon my crappy cell phone photos!) |
And these photos only show about 1/2 of what they had! |
I ended up with:
12 long-sleeved shirts
8 pairs of pants
3 (2-piece) sweatsuits
2 pairs of pajamas
13 books
2 {super cute} mini rocking chairs
(Notice Milo in the upper left corner - he just had to get his cat hair all over everything as soon as it came in the house!) |
Want to guess my cost for all that???
All told, it came to $97.52!!
Not too shabby!! If I break it all down into individual pieces, that works out to about $2 per item. Most of the clothes are either Gymboree or Children's Place so really not a bad deal. Plus they are all in realllllly good condition. Some barely look used (as many kids clothes can be).
Two of my favorite deals were:
Two of my favorite deals were:
Awesome fleece hoodie with matching sport-type pants - $4 for the set!! |
This 2-piece set from Gymboree was only $5!! |
And I just couldn't resist these mini wooden rocking chairs for only $2.
I initially planned on giving one to each kid to use with their Barbie dolls or small teddy bear or whatever, but I am now thinking I may need to paint one white and use it in my own decor... wouldn't it look cute on the mantle??

All in all, not a bad deal for a winter wardrobe! She'll probably need a few more things, but overall I was quite pleased with my haul.
wow! You really scored! :)
