Warehouse Sale weekend rolls around twice a year, every Fall and every Spring. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that my world pretty much revolves around it, and now I have my cousin hooked! Katie came in town this past Friday night just for the occasion - and what a great occasion it is!!! I like it so much that I go twice... first I pay to advertise for my business on their web site so that I can pre-shop the sale on Friday night, second I get in line early Saturday morning with Katie so that we can tag team it for her kids. For me, it is probably my favorite kind of girl's weekend, I LOVE kid's clothes (it's a dream of mine to own a boutique one day) so I already love the activity, and it's really fun to get up early, sit in line in our camping chairs, visit, go out to breakfast, and of course shop! When we get home we have a little fashion show, and my mom comes over to go through our loot - fun! My Aunt Julie (Katie's mom) missed out on the fashion show and "grand display" of our purchases, so I'm dedicating this post and the following pictures to her so that she can see Maisie and Liam's (+ Evie and Annie's) new Summer wardrobe...
All of the goods on my couch
This fishy set with pants is Evie's
The top with the little buckets is Annie's, and there are matching "Cinderella's Carriage" pants sets for Evie and Annie
Liam's Shark Set
Maisie's Butterfly top that has little matching shorts
Maisie and Liam's matching froggie outfits (LOVE - TDF!)
Maisie and Liam got matching Florida Gator outfits to wear when Daddy comes home :) And that is Maisie's cute green and pink alligator a-line dress.
This was the item of the weekend - Maisie and Evie's favorite... Little Mermaid!!!
I grabbed just one Little Mermaid set for Maisie on Friday night and bought the coordinating Cinderella's Carriage sets for my girls, thinking they could all wear them together on our upcoming trip to Disney. Let me just say this - Evie was just a little hurt when I showed up at home with only one Ariel set, so I went to bed Friday night praying there would be one left in her size on Saturday morning!!! I was able to get one and it's all good now - fwew! Maisie and Evie wore them together pretty much the rest of the weekend, stroking the embroidery, and saying "Ariel, I just love her..." What is it with ALL little girls and the Little Mermaid? Silly little chickies! We had such a good weekend together with my cuz and her kids, they're like four little peas in a pod! I can't wait to do this again in the Fall!!!

Dear Megan,
I am so honored that you dedicated this post to me. Childrens' boutique clothing is near and dear to my heart, also, and your finds are delicious enough to eat! I am reminded of the days when I was clothing little people and getting similarly excited at finding my treasures. I still have memories of God's provision of children's boutique items for Katie, Janie and Zac while we were in seminary. My across-the-hall neighbor and I would await the arrival of the free, bi-weekly Suburban Journal, often until 2 AM, so that we could plot our garage-sale strategy in the wealthier burbs of St Louis. And like you and Katie, we would lay out our treasures on our couches and "visit" each others' finds. God is SO good to indulge us so often in our "wants" as well as our needs. He KNOWS we are "but dust". If bargain childrens' boutique clothing and Disney are a glimpse of heaven on earth, what must the real thing be like?? "I can only imagine..." BTW, so glad you dodged that "Ariel" bullet with Evie. That one may have required counseling in the teenage years! Love ya, and can't wait to see you and your scrumptious girls soon! Love, Aunt J
