Really cute store in downtown Wheaton specializing in baby and kids items. The sales folks aren't…read moreoverbearing but welcome you to the store and allow you to wander. It seems like at the time I was here they'd just opened an expanded portion of their store, where they have some toys and things for older children--toddlers and up. You'll find lots of clothes, blankets, and books, as well as a couple wagons, strollers, and car seats. The owner is a midwife as well so you might avail yourself of services, too. I bought a couple of onesies that are magnetized. I keep hearing "no snaps!!" (but like EVERY PIECE of baby clothing has snaps...), so these were intriguing. They have a magnets along the flap as the closure mechanism so I bought a couple in the 6-9 month and above size to try them out. I have high hopes!

Not sure what happened but my friend said they packed the wrong size of ruffle butt when they got the outfit. I went to exchange but they no longer had the size we needed. Still, the store associate was very helpful and helped us pick out another outfit that fit the same vibe.

Double Blessings Resale is a twice-a-year event held in the Dupage County Fairgrounds exhibition…read morewarehouses. I call it a resale extravaganza. During the second weekend in March and the second weekend in September, up to five exhibition halls are filled with gently used children's clothing, toys and baby gear at very reasonable prices. I was able to get about 30 clothing items, 2 pairs of shoes and 2 toys for my little one for less than $100. All designer and brand name children's clothing and very good quality (barely used and well-kept). Some tips: Leave the kiddo's at home. They will not have fun. The exhibition halls get really hot and there is no place to sit. That being said, like any sale, get there early for the best selection. If you have to bring your baby, leave the stroller in the car and use your Baby Bjorn to carry Junior around. Mama needs TWO hands to shop! No really, they do not allow strollers in the exhibition halls. Bring your large shopping bag to help you carry your items when you shop. Better yet, bring a laundry basket, it's easier to carry all your items, go back to your car and empty items and then come back and shop in the next exhibition hall. Plan for time to browse. Don't think you will spend 10 minutes and be "In and Out". The cashier lines are long, but it's well-organized so it runs very smoothly. Cash or Check. (I honestly don't remember seeing a Credit Card sign) This is run by a Mom's group so they understand the importance of value and quality in children's merchandise. You will not see beaten-up or out-dated equipment/baby gear. Every volunteer that I encountered was so up beat and friendly (even for early in the morning)

Yes, another cheap way to buy kids' clothes! This is a twice-a year resale event held at the…read moreDuPage County Fairgrounds. I found out about this through a friend. You sign up, pay a fee for price tags and drop off the goods. You can get a higher percentage of earnings if you volunteer to help or you can be a slug like me and get 65% of your sales by sitting at home and drinking a few beers the night of the sale. This organization is very particular about what merchandise they take (Thank God!). They only take name brands and no Target, Kmart or Walmart stuff. It all has to be in good shape and gets inspected when you drop off your goods. They take only children's clothes as well as baby gear. I was a little surprised when I found out the night before the sale that you needed an appointment to drop off your goods. I have to confess that I was a bit overwhelmed by the information packet I received and I must have skimmed through that section. You need to have the clothes on hangers and that presented a challenge since I had about 18 pairs of boys' shorts. One of the coordinators was more than happy to give me some hangers to use and for that I am grateful. I've participated in lots of these over the years. This was the most organized sale I've been in. Even the payment process was very efficient. At other sales it takes weeks to find out how your sales went (I always donate the non-sale items so I don't have to pick up) and then it took a few more weeks to get a check. Trendy Tots sent me an email a few days after the sale telling me the amount I sold and my cut of it and I just got the check in the mail! Check out their sale in the fall!

Count me in! I purchased clothes both in-store and online. Purchasing online allows you to ship to the store for free. I now have a stash of basics to (hopefully) get me through the first 3-6 months. I'm a bit wary of buying too much right now because (1) Baby's gender will be a surprise, and (2) I'm due in the fall, so not sure what I'll need given Baby's size + the weather. Luckily they are ALWAYS emailing coupons and have sales, so I'm sure I'll still get great deals once Baby's here! (The only downside is that their coupons don't always apply to the steep doorbuster deals.. bummer!)

I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.
