"new" gear

Champaign has this great event twice a year called One Week Boutique. People bring in their gently used baby gear and sell it at garage sale prices. There are over 45,000 items to choose from, so we were able to get Madison's entire winter wardrobe all in one place for a fraction of the price. She loves all of her "new" to her stuff. I think we got 30 new outfits, 12 pajamas, a halloween costume, 3 winter coats, 7 hats, 2 pairs of shoes, 4 toys, 2 dvds, and one book for around $200. That makes for one happy momma and one well dressed baby. Plus, she sold a bunch of her stuff that didn't fit anymore or that she wasn't interested in and has made over $400 to put in her savings account. She's going to have a better savings account and a better wardrobe than me here pretty soon ;).
