Bargain Shopping Weekend

If you know me at all you know I am a bargain shopper. Chris was out of town all weekend and Brooke decided to get up bright & early Saturday morning. I decided to gargage saleing. Tiburon is the subdivision down from us and they were having a community gargage sale. I found Brooke a few toys and stuffed animals and then I got a house of lady with a little girl. She and I were talking and she asked me if I knew anything about the Reruns are Fun sale. I told her yes and that it just past a few weeks ago she told me she had tons of smocked dresses in her attic if I wanted to look at them.....ummm yeah. Now I am not sure if the Smocked dresses are a Southern thing, my June baby friends can tell me. Smocked dresses are very big here in Louisiana...that along with a big bow to match. I ask this because I have friend that is from Ohio and she has a 1 year old...she said that she could not go anywhere at home and find dresses like that. She had never even seen them until she moved here. Anyway, I got her a Thanksgiving, Her next Birthday dress, Her Easter dress and 2 that were just cute. These dresses range from 50.00-80.00 a piece and I paid......(Drumroll)......10.00 a piece. She had some really cute ones...probably thousands of dollars worth. I also was a hunt this weekend for some lightweight cotton pants for daycare and some t-shirts for Brooke...she has went thru a growth spurt recently and everything looks like a half shirt. I got her the cutest pair of boots at the Childrens Place outlet in the Boardwalk sooo cute. I have included pics of all and some of my little monkey climbing in and out of the stroller. I swear she has No Fear.









We have a climber!! We climb on anything and everything.

I love bargain hunting and garage sales!! Okay... I have never heard the term smocked dress- They are really cute but don't look like anything they would sell around here so I am guessing they are a southern thing.

I have to agree with Tanya, I've never heard of a "smocked dress" nor have I ever seen anything like it but they are ADORABLE! So yeah, I guess it's a southern thing. I LOVE the boots!

I love the boots and my girls have a ton of smocked dresses! Too funny, I guess it's just not a Northern thing! I have some from when I was little. Chris's mom HAND SMOCKS the girls dresses for different occasions. WE have xmas, easter, birthday, first day of fall, etc. Those dresses are EXTREMELY expensive! The hand done ones are usually sold in specialty boutiques and the mass produced ones are just as expensive at department stores. So, good for you! As for the bow, I think that's a girl thing! I have a lot of friends who have their girls bows custom made to match different outfits! Too cute!
