i can only hope baby girl likes collecting vintage dresses and odds and ends as much as i do...she has quite a collection growing! and i'm a little bit addicted...it has been such a treat getting to go thrifting once a week and hunting for all sorts of baby treasures. so far finding girl things are much easier to find then boys...
this week i got the sweetest package in the mail from my friend marissa! it was filled to the brim with little vintage dresses and books and a little girl bowl and plate. my oh my!
so now sis has a closet full of beautiful clothes but no bed to sleep in...haha. things are coming together slowly but surely. if any of you have any real great tips for washing baby clothes, i'm all ears...it's been so long since i've been down that road!
happy wednesday, friends!
tonight is date night...i wonder if i can convince matt that the salvation army and goodwill are romantic places to visit...
p.s. take a peek at marissa's etsy shop filled with all sorts of vintage finds...she's running a 15% off sale right now!
She's going to be a well-dressed gal! As much as I loved skirts and dresses when I was tiny {and now as a teenager still!}, I loved dressing like my brother. Our age gap is similar to baby sis and Max, and I was always so happy when I got his old snuggly jumpers and trousers and hats.
ReplyDeleteI have that same bowl set but the boy version! So cute!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, how adorable is that cup? Oh my!
ReplyDeleteLove the first dress. And that jacket is so sweet. I'd wear that! ^^
She will be one great dressed little lady that's for sure. My best friend is having a baby in august and I can't wait to go shopping for the little one :-D
oh my goodness! i used to have a plate/bowl/mug set almost exactly like that! holy moly, that brings back memories! you are the best mama!
ReplyDeleteOh my the little pink dress with the collar and the red one! And those overalls! What a sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteShe is going to be so cute! i am sure she will love hitting up the vintage shops with you :)
ReplyDeleteYou just brought back a memory! My sister and I had that cup and saucer set. It also had a mug that was the body! Oh how we loved them!!! Thank you for the memory jolt!
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely! I have pulled out some of my baby dresses out of my hope chest for my little lady. I can't wait to see her in them....I figure I am going to take advantage of her not having an opinion on what she wears!
ReplyDeleteaww so cute!! :) -Lo
ReplyDeletesososo cute :)
ReplyDeleteShe is going to be one stylish little girl :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that bowl is so cute!

On an episode of American Pickers they said it's easier to find girl's vintage bikes instead of boys bikes because girls took care of theirs, I wonder if the same is true for clothes! She is going to be the sassiest baby on the block with all these cute clothes.
ReplyDeleteum yes, little vintage frocks are probably the most addicting thing ever! to me at least :) i have two girls to dress up and a shop - i love having such a fun passion. i have no doubt your little one will be adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely going to have the best dressed baby on the block. What adorable finds for your new little one. xo, rv

ReplyDeletei am smitten with the sweet vintage baby girl treasures and mostly with a girl for you!!!!! ode to joy! make your own laundry detergent! it's easy, cheap and free of chemicals.
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda (both found in the laundry aisle)
1 bar of soap (grated) dr bronners makes un unscented baby soap that i've used before
(also not sure if it's baby friendly but i add essential oil to mine) works well! 2 T per load
and then you can package it pretty and it somehow makes washing clothes more appealing when the detergent is in a pretty glass jar-use a tea cup for a scoop!
oh my such cute finds, happy thrifting :)
ReplyDeletecute! she is going to be one well-dressed baby. my thrifting skills declined like crazy since i've been pregnant... good thing i was collecting a bit the past few years :)
ReplyDeletealright gang, let's track down the matching mug for katie jr!
ReplyDeleteI just found out I am expecting a boy, and I too have been obsessed with finding little baby boy vintage. It's just so much better than new clothes found in stores.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the date. my big boy is a 'wait patiently at the door type!'
ReplyDeleteas for bubba clothes, i love soap flakes. Has that sweet baby smell.
i was well out of practice with the baby bit too. We have almost 8 years between our little guys. but i love it. Louie is such the 'big brother'.
happiness...

That little coat is to die for! Girls are bliss.

those overalls are the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteI bought vintage baby dresses off of etsy for vivian....& I'm keeping them so she can dress her baby dolls in them.
ReplyDeleteThey are so fun---
I keep my eye out for size 2 & up as she is growing like a weed!
{p.s. I had two boys than a girl & it's a blast shopping on the "pink" side!}

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Those little outfits just melted my heart! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will :) It's in her genes right? ;) Super cute stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute collection! I agree- I've been thrifting a lot lately and I can find girls vintage SO MUCH easier! I don't get it. But oh well, I'm having another girl so it works! If you choose not to do the DIY baby soap route- Purex makes a baby detergent that smells SO GOOD and is much much cheaper than Dreft. :) Also- a great stain remover is 3 parts hydrogen peroxide with a dab of dish soap. Its AMAZING! My daughter rubbed marker all over a shirt and it got it right out, it also got out GRAPE JUICE out of our white IKEA chair! :)
ReplyDeleteoh I forgot to put 1 part water with the hydrogen peroxide stain remover! oops :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Vintage dress heaven! I'm sure she has an amazing collection already. And don't worry, if worse comes to worst, baby sis can sleep in a cozy drawer! ;)
