I have been working hard at being thrifty when it comes to Baby Seth's room, clothes, and other essential baby gear and toys. I have been hitting the consignment stores hard as well as a few yard sales, but this weekend I really lucked up. We went back to Jackson to pick up Sophie who is hopefully going to have some adorable puppies in about 8 weeks, but while I was there, Bryan's sister Amy mentioned she had a friend who was having a yard sale and she was selling a lot of baby boy clothes. I was even luckier because the girl selling the clothes had her son in September which meant that all of his clothes were in the right season for Baby Seth. I bought several bags full of clothes, some that had never been worn, and some shoes, toys, and a Leapfrog Learning table all for the great price of $65.00. I have every size needed, hopefully, unless we have a son that grows as fast as a weed, for the next year.
I splurged on one thing for the nursery and that was on a quilt from Pottery Barn Kids. I just couldn't resist but everything else I have found has been very inexpensive. I found a light blue bedskirt at Ross thanks to my mom who spotted it in the store for only $4.99. I bought a polka dotted crib sheet from Target. I also found an adorable miniature Red Radio Flyer wagon at a consignment store for $5.00. Other great finds that I have bought or have been given include a Boppy pillow with slipcover also bought at Ross, a high chair cover to be used when dining out, and an Infantino baby carrier donated by Amy. I have been on the hunt for a chest of drawers which I think I am going to get from IKEA since I haven't been able to find a used chest of drawer that can be used as a changing table. I have also been hunting for a bookshelf that can house the many, many books that I brought home from school that were my favorites for Seth. This week I have also been looking for the perfect curtains. I have already taken two sets of curtains back to Target because they just weren't perfect and now I am on the lookout for some light blue curtains thanks to Bryan's input on the curtain color. Things are coming along and I am having such a delightful time getting the nursery ready.
the Radio Flyer wagon and woven newborn moccasins that are just too adorable so I had to include them.

Okay that Radio Flyer is stinkin' cute but I especially love, love, love the Pottery Barn quilt! I would have splurged on it, too! VERY cute:)
