The Secondhand Baby Shower


Thrifting for Hank”, read the cake which was decorated with one red rose. And “thrifting” we did, as the Rosebuds showered Rosie P. with second hand abundance at Tuesday night’s “Second Hand Shower”.
Let this event stand as a model for breaking the traditional mold of the baby shower and embracing the notion of re-gifting, and the joy in the “hunt”.
Sincere appreciation to Rosebud Wendy for keeping an organized list of gifts during this event, and to Dawn, Jeff, and Pamela for help with set up.

Rosie P. left the shower with a car full of treasures:
*Piles of clothing (onesies, outfits, a blanket, and overalls) from Dawn and Jeff

*Snowsuit from Nancy

*Pregnancy swimsuit and a handmade blanket from Sutton and little Lillon

*Two piece sweater set from Lisa

*Striped 3 month onesies from Margaret T.

*Frog costume for Hank’s 2011 Halloween, and the book “My Aunt Rosie” from Pamela

*”Bag-A-Baby” and a handmade brag book from Wendy

* Organic and locally made soap and lotion from Val (From Green Mother Goods)
*Sippy cup, onesies, and corduroy pants from Amy M.

*Picnic Basket, wooden roll toy, wooden bear toy, Happy Baby food grinder, Puff the Magic Dragon book/cd, from Rosie W.

*Sensory toy, “Rock Star” hat and onesie, and socks from Anna Banana

*Athletic outfits and bathing suits from Freida

*White noise machine from Christina


And the best gift remains the new friendships made within our “Thrifting” community. Hank is in for a wild ride! Blessings to all. Rosie W.
