Blogoversary Giveaway

Whenever I go to Utah to visit family, there's an outlet that I always have to stop at. They have Pottery Barn items that either haven't sold, have flaws, have been returned, etc. I love going through those clothing bins. Usually it's just me, because some family members think it's gross - - like a thrift store. Hello?! I love thrift stores. So it's perfect for me.

Anyway, I love going through their baby clothes bin. The clothing has never been worn and is usually in perfect condition except for monograms that weren't sewn on correctly, maybe the wrong monogram, or the person who bought it didn't like it and just sent it back. That's where I come in. I buy them and then try to refashion them. I love it.

So, with the cute baby dresses that I do have, I've made fabric rosettes and have hand sewn them on top of the monograms. I think they turned out pretty cute!


So, here it is. The giveaway - - for this cute, never worn, Pottery Barn Kids baby dress (size 3-6 months). And if you don't have any babies, grand-daughters, etc., then give it to someone for a christmas gift or baby shower gift.

  1. I don't think it's the thrift store feeling that "some family members" don't like. It's the disorganization! The chaos! The boxes full of who-knows-what! But this dress is super cute, so I guess it's okay that you like it so much. :)

  2. Sarah - Maybe that's why I like it so much - - the boxes full of who-knows-what! BTW, you wanna make a trip out there before you come for Thanksgiving? :) Maybe I'll ask mom . . . :)

  3. This dress is gorgeous! I don't live in the US and I usually shop at second-hand stores. Those have really unique stuff.

  4. I love to shop Goodwill and Thrift Stores. My favorite Thrift Store is Cookies Closet. I get some amazing finds for next to nothing (I'm talking leather coats and name brand clothing for pennies)

  28. Hmmm . . . I don't really have a place I love to shop to get deals, but I do watch for coupons, discounts and all those other great things. I can get lost in Target and walk out spending more than planned. Does that count?

  29. I'm a thrift store fan as well. You've got to be willing to search for them though, I think that is what a lot of people don't like about them, and you aren't going to hit the jackpot every time you go!

  33. I love our local thrift store, here in Ramona. Books are only 40cents! I've scored some great finds there too! Kids clothes from Gymboree, Gap, etc. I'm scouring the furniture areas constantly so I can replicate some things that you have done. No luck just yet, but I haven't given up!
