I already posted this on b.org, but when the threads move fast things tend to get lost in the shuffle, so: Under The Nile is great. And I'm not sure how completely green Orient Expressed is, but it carries a lot of handmade clothes in natural fibers and is owned and operated by two New Orleans women, so anything you get from there helps small businesses and the local economy.

And probably the best option is to look for gently used clothing, bedding and furniture--it's very easy to find baby and toddler clothes with very little wear, because the sproggins grow so very fast, and the preworn stuff is usually softer and cozier than the new. Keep recycling, keep it out of the landfills, and all that.

You're going to be such an awesome auntie!

There's a really good used place here and I know that there are great used places near them but for anything used they want to go in the organic direction. I'll defintely be reminding them to check out local shops. I know that right near me (within walking distance even!) is a yoga study for moms and kids with a baby clothes shop I'll have to go there and hit it up.


Matilda is such a cutiehead all zonked out. I kept looking at hte ultrasound pictures in awe -- that's my nephew!
