Friday Market and Saturday Hunting...

Y'all, I just have to share my great news! I found three pairs of maternity pants yesterday and some great shirts the day before! Friday we have market in our city. Basically table after table of second hand clothes from Europe and the states. We see lots of goodwill tags on clothes and other second hand stores. Anyways, I went there on friday and found two great shirts to fit over my ever expanding belly and a red sweatshirt to wear around the house as it gets cold.

Then yesterday, Allen and I went down to Italian street where there is shop after shop of second hand clothes. Same thing as the friday market but here they are hanging up and a little easier to find. I was on the hunt for maternity pants. I had tried all the maternity stores and they were either ridiculously expensive or I would never go out in public wearing what they had! We thought we would give Italian street a shot. The second shop we went in had only one pair of maternity pants! They were khaki cordoroy. The cool things is that I had told the Father a couple of weeks ago how fun it would be to have a pair of cordoroy's during the winter to keep Ben and I warm. I tried them on and they fit perfectly!!!! YEAH! We went in a bunch more stores, one little store was like a dungeon with this little old man. I asked him if he had any pregnancy pants and he pulled out a pair of LizLange pants from Target. They are brand new! I also got another pair of jeans. So, with the pair of jeans Ashleigh sent and these, little Ben will be comfie and covered for a long while!!! Thank you, Father!


Allen has been wanting a hoodie sweatshirt. It gets REALLY cold here! Eventually we will be able to see our breath in our house 24 hours a day! Did I say it gets REALLY cold! So, Allen had decided that the best way to stay warm would be to have a hoodie. We have a friend in Cola that loves to wear hoodie sweatshirts at night. We thought there might be something to it. He found a big brown hoodie yesterday. We also found a Texas A&M sweatshirt but it was too small and had a whole in it. So Sad! But if we EVER find something from Clemson, we will definately buy it. I washed it yesterday and he was so excited to put it on last night!

  2. Sara,

    SOOO glad you found some maternity things! Let me know if you need any long sleeve T-shirts. . . I have some you can borrow.

    I also used some of Wayne's clothes for "around the house" bigger stuff to fit over my belly . . .sweatpants, sweatshirts, flannel shirts. You could also try some womens clothes in a larger size (not maternity) that might work . . especially for tops that you don't need to be real fitted! I want to see pictures of that growing belly!
