Children's clothing

The pumkin is almost upon us! Fall is in the air. And it's still hurricane season in Florida.

What  has that got to do with clothing? Fall means warmer clothes for those living up North. Winter in Florida means the kids need all kinds of clothing. We never know if it'll be hot one week and pretty darned chilly another, or mean and nasty cold for a few days. Cold doesn't last long in Florida--or should I say South and Central Florida.

I do recall living in Ohio and Indiana and loving those Indian Summers. One year when we lived in Greentown, OH, we had Indian Summer in October. We had a party and did one of those trearuer hunts. We lucked out with the weather and were even able to cook outdoors.

Those were the years when I learned to do stretch and sew. Anyone remember that? So okay, my kids wore some ugly clothes for a while! I've never been much of a seamstress--I like ready made clothes--where I don't have to jag myself with pins and get the bobber messed up and tied into knots.

Perhaps that's why I enjoy buying and selling these clothes. No mistakes, no seesaw hemlines, shoulders that don't match and whoops! Did I miss sewing part of the seam?

Here's hoping you enjoy your fall weather whereever you may be. And remember to check with us for clothes. I haven't advertised any used clothes, but I do have some infant and toddlers items. If anyone is interested, email me at deeskidsclothing@gmail.com.

Hello!

I've added more items to our catalog page and the clothes pages. Now my hubby tells me until I sell some stuff I cannot buy anymore clothes. So please, take a look and see if there's anything you want to buy!

I have four pairs of 8 Regular shorts listed. They have never been worn, but my daughter tore off the tags. Then her son refused to wear them. She paid $14.99 a pair and we're selling them for $9.99. They can be used at schools who require uniforms. Hey, that will save you money--and that's what we're all about.

I also picked up some larger clothes this time--6X, 7, and even one Hannah Montana t-shirt that's a size 16! Grab them while they last. I have one Hannah shirt that's a size 7/8, too.

I hope some of you will join our blog and tell us your shopping stories. Or you can share stories about fussy clothing kids.

Let's go back to Michelle when she was a kid. She would decided she hated everything in her closet, fuss about it until I would scream--"Just wear something! You can't go to school naked, you know!" And then I'd realize that I did that very thing when I was a child. Now she has a child doing that, too. That's where the shorts come into play!

Hope everyone has a good week. Please, do drop us a note. We love hearing from everyone!

 Hey Moms! Glad to have you stop by. And Grandmoms too.

 This Blog is for you—tell us your shopping tales about when you had to shop with a kid or four. I’ll tell you my tale this time—then you tell me yours.

 Ever been to the Mall with your 4-year-old and a few more. You are stressed for time and money—but the kids don’t get the concept that money is tight right now.

 I remember taking the kids to the Mall one evening after dinner when ten-year-old Michelle sat at the table and announced calmly, “Oh, Mom, I forgot to tell you that I need a white shirt for chorus.”

 “Okay, we’ll go this weekend and get one.”

 “No! I need it by tomorrow! We’re singing at the Mall at noon.”

 Why is it that the little darlings always wait until the last minute to tell you things like that? And of course, that was one of the times when hubby was out of town and I had to take all three kids with me. (before I had number 4)

We got the shirt and was about to leave the Mall when 4-year-old Ashley stood in the middle of the Mall screaming, "I SAID I WANT A HOT PRETZEL--NOW!"

 All I wanted to do was get home, get the kids to bed and soak in the tub—read a book that would take me away from it all. Instead, I stood there with strangers staring at me like I had just created the world’s worst little monster.

 I explained to the three children that I didn’t have any extra money and they couldn’t have the pretzel that Ashley demanded nor the ice cream the other two insisted they deserved. 

 I got to listen to Ashley's wailing all the way home, and her two siblings whining because they didn't get what they wanted either. No amount of explaining that Mommy didn't have extra money for pretzels and ice cream did a bit of good. After all, Aunt Diana always bought them stuff like that when she took them to the mall. Of course, she had no kids of her own, had plenty of money and could spoil them, then return them to me!

 I’ve done a lot of shopping for children over the years. I know what it's like to buy clothes and to try to stay within your financial means. I'm hoping to provide you with clothing that will look good and not bust the budget. I hope you’ll blog here with me and take a look at what I have to offer.

 And I’d like this to be a fun blog—somewhere you can vent about your shopping trips with the little darlings in tow!
