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.
And then hit gold!
I found Children’s Cottage — 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 (they only had a few sizes left in many items) 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 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.
So far, looking like a great ending!
