I would also much prefer to give our hand me downs to people we know, then op shops. I love seeing my nephew wearing pieces that my boys did.<br />I think you should be proud to give and recieve hand me downs. It's saving waste and bucks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183634966081037204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-70215377926414998522011-12-27T14:58:55.859-08:002011-12-27T14:58:55.859-08:00I get a lot of clothes for the boys and when they ...I get a lot of clothes for the boys and when they finish with them they are the given to a neighbors little boy.

There were lots of capes and hats. One costume was a furry, fake, animal skin loincloth that my 2-yr-old loved. It was like men's brief underwear with a flap front and back...lol.<br /><br />One bag had three (a red, a yellow, a blue) corduroy baby overalls with matching long-sleeved, striped tshirts with snaps on the shoulder of the shirt. Five children wore those--original owner, my son, daughter, niece, and my last daughter. <br /><br />The last four children (my three and the girl niece) wore these as play clothes for crawling on the floor and for eating. After a good ten years of constant use, the knees were not worn and the shirts and bibs of the overalls were not stained.<br /><br />I knew no one with a baby (12 mo size), so I put them in a yard sale.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-12068485802881053912011-12-26T13:55:09.225-08:002011-12-26T13:55:09.225-08:00I am of the same mind as you.

A fortune 500 company I was once employed by insisted that all its employees read it.<br /><br />Good stuff!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191415868109042982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-43684657282118259752011-12-26T13:20:27.089-08:002011-12-26T13:20:27.089-08:00I love getting hand me downs!

Some of the clothes still have tags on them! Amelia flat out tells people where she got her clothes if complimented on them she loves it too. How can you not love free clothes when a girls dress at Target sets u back $30?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439757929481857003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-58180260866611758832011-12-26T12:45:18.128-08:002011-12-26T12:45:18.128-08:00This is such a great post.

I got a nice coat recently from my SIL, and guess what I'm still wearing the coat she put out before that!<br /><br />I love Dolly's new collection (especially interesting as a teacher of 5/6 year olds).<br /><br />What things to cherish and then pass on.<br /><br />I THINK YOU'VE GOT THINGS SPOT ON!<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.com
