Auction #39: Baby Train Give Peas a Chance!

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 18, 2007

Okay, y'all... you have to cut me some slack here on the Baby Train series. While I mother a lot of people, I am NOT a mother and I don't even play one on the 'net!

But... you asked for it, you got it! Here for your bidding pleasure, from aliajohnson, is a pretty gift bag with tissue and bow - ready for giving! - containing:

--One Long sleeved and legged "Give Peas A Chance" Green Baby romper with silly matching pea hat. 100% American organic cotton. 3-6month size (they don't come any smaller). One of our all time best sellers.

--Robeez Pea shoes in 0-6 months. Doctor recommended. Made in Canada.

--Little Giraffe chenille security blankee in white. So cute! Made in the US

Give Peas a Chance!

All are new, of course. Retail price for this collection is a little over $100, so I'm expecting y'all to jump in here and start bidding furiously since the opening bid is a ridiculously low $10!

This auction starts NOW and goes until 8PM, CDT, Sunday, January 21, 2007. Bid in increments of no less than $1, please... Who'll open the bidding for me?

'Ol Fashioned Girl--you sent a PM about shipping and thought I'd just answer here.

I'll gladly pay for shipping within the continental US.

Outside of that--well, I'm not certain. Oddly enough, my experience with sending things to far away places is limited to large pieces of furniture, so I don't know how much a smaller package would cost. How about if I pitch in $10 to help cover the cost of shipping outside the US--would that help?

Oh--and if someone wants a larger sized romper or a different colored blankee (yellow, mint green, sage green, light blue and slate blue are available) I can substitute. Just let me know!

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 18, 2007

Little Red Barn · Jan 18, 2007

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 18, 2007

I don't care how cute it is... I do not want to get pregnant after seeing it.

I have $15 from Kimmi! Who'll give me $16?

Little Red Barn · Jan 18, 2007

$25.oo for AW, but I want it sent to Sherry Tex.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 18, 2007

Uh, Kimmi, we'll send it anywhere you want us to... but, darlin', you're bidding against yourself!

Little Red Barn · Jan 18, 2007

Don't care its for AW.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 18, 2007

Ooooookay! I've got $25 from Kimmi! Anyone want to jump in and try to take it away from her?

Morning Jen,
Is Sherry Tex still pregnant? Do you know?
I never seen her visit this thread...7 children~ WoWWoza!

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 19, 2007

I have no idea... I try to avoid pregancy as much as I can! Even in others!

JennaGlatzer · Jan 20, 2007

That hat! Those shoes! Ohh!

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 20, 2007

You do know she'll be the one to choose your nursing home, don'tcha? And she'll remember that hat...

Who'll gimme $27?

JennaGlatzer · Jan 20, 2007

Sssh! Hide this thread! I'm in the lead!

alleycat · Jan 20, 2007

I bid $30.

To be sent to Jenna.

;-)

Little Red Barn · Jan 20, 2007

*Think* Uhmm, Sherry has 7 kids, uhmmm....probably plenty of baby clothes.
This is Jenna's 1st... :Shrug:

Sarina would sure look sweet in it...

PS. Jenna I took all my daughters first year of life clothes and made a quilt.
I used the pockets, everything and cut the fabrics of her clothes into distinct hearts, to seperate in blocks on the quilt base I made. I then stitched an appliqued a fabric heart into each block. All by hand.
I kept my favorite maternity top and hubbys shirt (favorite, he found out later

)that he wore in the delivery room and cut out a heart from the piece of fabric and applied those two hearts as well~ Turned out beautiful.
I can remember her in each of those outfits...and she shows it off to friends.
Believe it or not I had never made a quilt before and I entered it in our State Fair and won a blue ribbon...

alleycat · Jan 20, 2007

Holy moley . . . Sherry has SEVEN kids? Yikes. I'm tired just hearing that.

Tell you what . . . if Sherry, for whatever reason, doesn't get the baby stuff, I'll send her a copy of Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande (or some other book on writing if she already has that one).

Seven kids?? I'll go away and behave from now on . . .

I think I need to call my mom.

writerterri · Jan 20, 2007

OH, that is cute.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 20, 2007

I'm so confused! alleycat's got it for $30 at the moment, but it'll be sent to Jenna...?

Uh... Jenna? You -er- wanna outbid him?

Uh, well, I hate you ruin your auction, but, uh, there's no reason for her to bid at the moment . . .

WildScribe · Jan 20, 2007

I'm begging, but my husband refuses to answer. I think that means no.

But honey... I'm PREGNANT!

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jan 20, 2007

Uh... you don't have to beg. It's your money, too!

WildScribe · Jan 21, 2007

Unfortunately, we don't spend without a consensus. "We have EIGHT MONTHS, love..."
