How to Store Hand-Me-Downs

25 Mar 2008 07:53 PM

I am not planning on having any more children and my two are very close in age. I resale everything they grow out of. If it is stained or otherwise unsellable, try freecycle.org. I mostly use eBay, Craigslist, or a host of trade/sell sites that you can find locally on yahoo or other hosting site. I also take the cream of the crop to "Once Upon A Child". I'm not sure if it is a franchise, but I like them because they pay you out right as opposed to consignment. I'm sure with a little research you could find a similar store in your area.

Thanks for the tips though! I have lots and lots of clothes that I have accumulated for them to grow into "someday"!

Dryer lint is great for composting! We also use it to line the bottom of planters to retain moisture.

New Uses for Old Baby Blankets

I saw this on a decorating show today. This lady was holding onto her prom dress, taking up a great deal of space in her closet, and for what? Like she would ever wear it again. They made a pillow out of the fabric, so she could keep it forever! I think this would be great, esp. with senitmental blankets. Then your child could continue to use them as they grow up, or you could embrodier and make it a keepsake!
