I am so happy to write about a great gift one of my best friends gave me yesterday. I big bag of clothes for my daughter. I have been so fortunate, up until the size she is now, I had to buy very little for her in terms of clothing. I have been gifted so much for her.
Right now, with money tight, and both kids in the midst of a growth spurt, my friend's timing couldn't be better, precisely the right size and season, with a bit in a bigger size (and appropriate for the season when she should reach that size).
I'm a sucker for yardsales and second hand stores, I love the unpredictable nature of them, the thrill of finding things you love for little money. I don't enjoy shopping in big box stores, although I occasionally have to for the budget's sake. Getting a big bag of clothes for free is like winning a lottery for me! Each item I pull out is better than the last, everything is a mystery and it is so much fun!
My daughter is still going through all the clothes oohing, and ahhing, over everything... and feeling very special indeed that somebody loves her enough to gift her a whole bag of clothes. She couldn't care less if the "Barbie" shirt cost me $30 or nothing... I cherish that, I don't know how long I can keep her from caring about labels and price tags, but I will keep trying!
Thank you my friend, for a timely gift that is deeply and truly appreciated :)
