our new mateys

Last week I was browsing around a couple of shops, and I stumbled on a new store in a nearby neighborhood. It's a children's clothing retail store, but dedicated to more sustainable clothing options: recycled (aka gently used *grin*), eco-friendly, handmade, natural, that kind of stuff. I'm so excited bc I can bring in some of my gently used stuff, and they'll buy it outright, not consignment. And I might sell some of my Tshirts that I make--will just have to see if I'm up for that. (The store is The Nesting House in Mt. Airy and only goes through 5T.)

But I really hit jackpot with the basket of used Playmobil people and accessories. Woohoo!! I just had a little cash on me, so I just grabbed a couple of pirates and brought them home to Ellis.

One of the units for Ellis's summer session at school was pirates, so it's been all "Argh!" around our house. Then Ellis wanted boats for the pirates. I folded some paper boats for him, and he drew the cutest treasure map ever.

Of course, Marlowe had to have a boat, too:

Oops, man overboard!!

AAARGH!
