The dress-up trunk
Posted on November 12th, 2008 2 commentsI recently had a comment from one of my visitors in response to “More Shopping Tips.” Many of my readers agree that shopping at thrift stores is a great idea. Here is what Cara had to say:
“I go to the sally ann in two different towns! I am always looking for clothes in the next size up for my daughter! And now I have thought of a great idea to start a dress-up trunk! Today the Sally Ann had a bunch of costume stuff and I got some tu-tus for her to dress up! They are adorable and a great chance for her to be creative!”
I love this idea - a dress-up trunk! Hours and hours of fun for not a lot of money. I recall having a dress-up trunk that consisted of my Mom’s old clothes, and my sister and I love it and used it for years. It was a great opportunity for us to use our imaginations. Now is a perfect time to go - just after Halloween - to find cast-off costumes. The tu-tus are perfect!
You could always save some for Christmas or birthday presents, too!
Happy hunting… and please come back to share any great finds!

- @amandarubin it's not in the best of shape - the box is a bit torn and it has that old, musty smell. But I think it's still super cool :)
- Just found a vintage Star Wars board game at Value Village - and it's complete! It seems I have a budding collection of cool vintage games.
- Went to the thrift store. It was closed. Went to the butcher. It was closed. Why does everything close so early? Oh yeah, I live in #Guelph.

- Just happened past an old episode of TNG. Realize how much I miss my relationship with the Crystaline Entity. Great guy. (via @BrentSpiner)
- It is so hot today! How I wish I was at a beach or a cottage on a lake.
- @yggdrasilschild Which puppy?
- @yggdrasilschild Pls tell Rorschach that I love him. And those pictures of us were adorable!!
- @yggdrasilschild @cgranade My neighbour has a cage outside w/ a 4sale sign, containing 6 tiny shih-poos (6 wks). One pup slept in my arms.
- What a great morning. Slept in. Great coffee from Planet Bean. A long walk and rest in the Arboretum. Then snuggled some little puppies.
