One Woman's Trash

I interrupt the baby posts to post about another successful venture. I recently sorted through my fall/winter wardrobe and realized there were about only about three items of clothing that I could fit in. What's a girl to do? I could go shopping, but that seemed too expensive and wasteful (especially since I hope I will not be carrying around these extra twenty pounds forever). So I decided to hold a clothing/accessories swap. Yesterday my living room and dining room transformed into a mini boutique, and ten of us went shopping guilt-free! At the end of the swap, everyone left with little treasures.


Stef and her sparkly new shoes


Rachel found this pretty necklace


Bhuvana is excited about her new dress


Wendy shows off her new red coat


Meag and Alison show off their cute skirts and even cuter kids


Janelle couldn't decide between her purple dress and shiny belt. Athena and Hunter help her model.


Lief and his pretty pink headband???


OK, one baby photo. In the spirit of recycling, Luke got a new old bumbo from Hunter and Athena.

I'll definitely do this again in the spring! Stef and I were even talking about doing a "cabin fever" swap in January--books, CDs, DVDs, board games, video games, crafts, etc. This one we'll invite the guys to--Stay tuned!
