So, the stuff to Best Dressed Child went back. Nervous about Amy’s wedding being a month away, I started to look again online. After missing a few items of interest on ebay (I’m not very good at remembering times and don’t like that I can’t tell how worn an item is…) I went back to look at online stores… ready to pay out just to have something in time.<\/p>\n
And then hit gold!<\/p>\n
I found Children’s Cottage<\/a> — a little children’s store currently having a sale (in honor of the election of the new pope, of all things.) Even better, they are located in Mobile, Alabama — a short drive away from my parents’ house. So, I made an order online to reserve some outfits<\/a> (they only had a few sizes left in many items<\/a>) and my Mom called this morning. My Mom, being the most personable and friendly person on the planet, instantly became buddies with the owner, who is holding all the outfits<\/a> for Mom to inspect and pick up later this week (saving us shipping). So, finally — we got great stuff, on sale, in stock, didn’t pay shipping, and local to Granna, who now has a friendly relationship with the owner.<\/p>\n So far, looking like a great ending!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, the stuff to Best Dressed Child went back.
