How excited was I to find this Gymboree Fairy costume at a yard sale for $1? Yes, $1! Not only was I excited because it was a great deal, it was a costume we centered a fairy themed party around when my daughter turned 4 years old.
She wore the purple costume and each invited guest got to dress up in their own fairy costume to take home, made possible by collecting fairy costumes at yard sales, of course.
It was fun to relive a little bit of the preschool years with the new found costume (even though it was a bit too small for her).
Gymboree knows how to make a costume. The details are so fun. Pretty wings, petal necklines...
skirts just right for prancing
...a crown and a wand for magical surprises.
Please promise me that if you win this delicious costume giveaway (it's a size 5-6 by the way) you'll find a grassy knoll and promise a little girl a round of frolicking.
Lacking a fairy in your family or circle of friends? You should still have the chance to win your own bit of magic. If you'd rather, you may choose these wonderful Magic School Bus books. There are 6 in all and they are in great condition. It's never too early to start building your educational library!
You have two chances to win your choice of magic.

What fun! We did a "dress up" party a few years back, but my daughter is more into "pop stars" than fairies these days. So Magic School bus for me.

ReplyDeleteThis is a hard decision! I've been following you for a while now and love hearing about what you do. I love to rummage/garage sale, but have only done it for us, never for profit. Who knows? Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime :)
ReplyDeleteI'll say books since I know we'd all use them. But that is an awfully cute outfit!
Follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm sure our daughter would love the fairy costume, we're getting ready to move and space will be a little bit of an issue. So I think I'd choose the books for our homeschool library.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteAlready following! The fairy costume is adorable. But what a great idea to collect costumes from yard sales for a party! We held a costume party for our daughter at her preschool when she was 4yo. I won't even tell you how much we paid for that LOL! If only I had known about yard sales back then :)
