A father's love..

It is so great to see a father love his daughter's so much!
Today in my store one of my customer's came in with her two daughters and husband.  The girls are so cute and there mom has them dressed so cute! As she is shopping the girls are hanging on dad and he is just beaming. I said to him "Could your girls be any cutier?"  He replied" I don't think so!" With a huge smile on his face.  I love my little store in the alley by the library.  One of the perks having my little shop seeing how much a mom and dad loves there children! Makes me smile..

Children's clothing is so much fun!!! Why is there always more girls stuff than boys?  My wall with all the girls items is packed full my poor boys wall is lacking a little bit.  I have been getting customers from all over so my new fun has been posting pictures of new items for them and doing skype to show them the store.  I did not realize how much fun you can have with a customer over skype.  Today I was using facebook and my 2.00 baby doll to show a customer in Florida, some new baby items we just got.  I will add a couple of those pictures on here too. Too funny this little doll is the same size as most newborns so you can see how the clothes fit.
What are some of your favorite brands for children?  For boys Mini Boden is on the top of my list.  For girls I love so many of the items that these designers make I really could not just pick one.  Matilda Jane has become one of my favorites in the last year.  I would love to know your options.





I love ruffled bottoms and leg warmers

I have teamed up with Salon Sophia 132 Ogden Ave Downers Grove IL 60515, Maggie Cuprisin Photography and neemies all of us are women who have taken our dreams and made them our jobs.
 Salon Sophia offers everything from a simple hair cut to hair design for that special day. 
Maggie Cuprisin Photography catches all those special moments in your life that you want to remember forever.
 neemies is a local stay at home mom who has put her love for sewing into designing unique and beautiful children's clothing.
 Then there is me who owns Posh Kids etc.  My love for dressing my children on a budget.  My entire life I have always wanted to do something with children and clothing.  After receiving my teaching degree, I soon realized it was very hard to raise my daughter on my own with a starting salary of a teachers wages.  I moved into the business world and was not happy at all.  Met the man of my dreams and everything started to fall into place. We have 1 daughter and 2 boys and one grandson.  Life is wonderful! About 8 years ago when the economy started to take a dive I was laid off from my job in the business world.  I decided I wanted to figure out how I could stay at home with my kids.  My daughter was entering High School and dressing was all about labels.  So I started the wonderful world of ebay.  I would list her clothes that she was tired of and in return give her the money to repurchase new items. Wow, this was kinda neat!  My daughter then started bringing me stuff all the time can you please sale this and give me the money.  I would sometimes make more than what I purchased the item for and she was thrilled.  I soon started doing what I loved best shopping and then listing it on Ebay.  This caught on my friends started asking me to sale for them and giving me a percent of the sale price.  I had it great, staying home with my kids and making money at the same time.  Then the economy kept just getting worse and resale started booming.  So I have now opened a little Consignment Boutique called Posh Kids Etc..  A dream come true! I have been opened 6 weeks and have been doing wonderful.  I hope it continues and I am so thankful for being able to do something I love.  So I have to say never give up following your dreams.  There has been ruff roads along the way but I have a hard time remembering them as the wonderful life I am living now is a dream come true.  I hope if anyone reads this this will inspire you to never give up and live your dreams.  Make sure you check out my store if you are in the area or even check out our website or facebook page.  Living one day at a time!  Recycle and save!  This had to be my thinking when I went from having a posh job to not having a job at all.  Recyle your children's clothes, toys, shoes, baby gear and save so much along the way!
