I love to look around at Etsy.com at al lfo the wonerful things that people make.  If you have not been to Etsy before I highly recommend that you check it out.  The things for sale there are all hand made or items that can be used to create items.

While I was there today I saw that the seller GetFruityTieDyes4You has a bunch cool tie-dye tees on sale for $5.  That’s a bretty good bargain, especially on something that someone took the time to hand dye.

Here are some of my favorites:

Shoes.com has extended the expiration date of their 20% off coupon until
March 31st.  The coupon code

20SALE08 is good for an additional 20% off sale items.

Right now I am looking for sandals for my kids.  During the summer my kids
practically live in their sandals.  So, when I am looking for summer sandals for
them I look for something rugged that they can run around in.  There are some
great sandals in the sale section of Shoes.com that you can use that coupon code
with.
 

It is difficult to find unique clothes for boys, but I think Boden does a wonderful job!

Pumpkin Patch clothing is absolutely adorable!  I stopped by there online today and checked out their Outlet section.  They now have their kids’ winter clothes at up to 70% off.  There are some really cute coats for $14.99 is the girlswear section.  There are a lot of pink and brown clothes that are just adorable including sweaters, skirts and tops.

There are some really cute and unique items on sale for little boys too.

It is also definitely worth it to peek in at the shoes on sale.

Now is the time to pick up some winter clothes for your kids for next year.  The sales are really getting good.

Tilly’s has a bunch of items on sale in their girl’s category for just $4.97.  I love to check this site periodically because they do have good sales.  These are for girls in sizes 7 to 16.

They also have really cute CROCS $19.97 and up for girls and free shipping on orders over $99.

Today I received a very good question from a reader. 

Hi - I love the dresses! I wanted to ask if you know of a good resource to buy bloomers for little girls - toddler and bigger? I like for my daughter to wear sun dresses in warmer weather but I like to cover up the unmentionable but sometimes little dresses don’t come with them.

Well, after doing quite a bit of searching, no wonder why she had this question!  When my daughter was younger I would put little shorts under her casual dresses like these:

These are a good option because the ruffle trim makes them a little fancier than regular little bike shorts.

Also, I did find a seller at Etsy that makes some really cute ones that fit up to size 3T:
Little girl’s bloomers

Finally, there are a few fancier bloomers that won’t break the bank at Sophia’s Style.

I just added 4 pages of spring dresses for children to the Picadil website.  I love dresses for little girls in the spting and summer because they are so easy to wear and comfortable.  Here is a sneek peek of what was added to the site:

With brands like Blueberry , Anita G., Mish Mish, Hannah Banana and Lipstik at discounted prices, how can you go wrong!

Both of my kids have birthdays next month and they both decided they wanted a half-asleep over.  So, what does this mean?  Well, my kids are each inviting over 3 friends who will change into pajamas and then we will make pizzas, pop popcorn and watch a movie.  I am trying for two low stress birthday parties this year.  Wish me luck!

Here is my idea for party favors that I think the other parents will appreciate.  Instead of a goodie bag filled with assorted “junk” that will probably be thrown out in a few days, I am going to supply the pajamas for the party.

I found some really good deals at CrazyForBargains and the coupon code AFSAVETEN for 10% off an order of $60 or coupon code AFSHIPFR for free shipping on orders of $50 or more.

Here is what we are choosing from:

These are three sets of pajamas for only $14.99.  Awesome deal!

Two sets of pajamas for $16.99.

And for my son’s party:

Two sets for $16.99 or

Three sets for $21.99.

While wantering around the net today I bumped into the store PlumDenim.  They have a really cute selection of girl’s clothing and their sale section is stocked with items that are up to 70% off.

They carry brands like Ave.Blu, Diesel Kids, Flowers by Zoe, Fresh Karma, Harajuka Lovers and a lot more.  Here are some of the items that are currently 70% off:
