Girlie garment bags

A few weeks ago, while packing Carly's clothing away, I posted on my facebook that I wanted to find out where I could get garment bags for children. More matter of fact-ly,,,I wanted "girlie garment bags" I couldn't seem to find any by searching google. Which I don't even have the desire to sit and do searches online. I get so aggravated so easily these past several months. Besides, the only garment bags I could find were adult size. Adult bags would have worked,,,I suppose..but I didn't want Carly's cute little outfits just tossed into an adult garment bag. I wanted something, cute, child sized and girlie like.

I was very surprised to receive a private message from one of my facebook friends, who knew where child size garment bags could be found. It just so happens, that my friend Sheri, has a friend who owns a child clothing store...where she does carry child size garment bags!!

Sheri purchased these three child sized garment bags and sent them to me about a week ago. I can't thank her enough! These are exactly what I had hoped to find! They are cute, little and very girlie garment bags.

Cute and girlie, perfect for pretty little girl dresses.

We were pleasantly surprise to see that Sheri's friend took the time to embroider Carly's name along with the phrase underneath her name..."forever in our hearts" all done in purple. Awesome!

Sheri, I can not thank you enough. These garment bags are exactly what I had hoped to find. I'm so thankful to have such wonderful online friends. I'm continuously amazed by the kindness from others. Others, whom I've never ever met in person. Mostly due to that one extra chromosome. One tiny little extra chromosome has made it possible for me to "meet" the most thoughtful, caring, compassionate, amazing people from all over the world!

I'm so thankful for being part of the Down syndrome community. For those of you who don't understand the previous sentence...you're missing out. Believe me, you are missing out!

Carly's cute little dresses are safely zipped up and put in the closet. Safe inside those three "girlie garment bags."

I took this picture of Carly at the circus last March.

Had I only known what events would take place just one month later,
I would have snapped a hundred pictures of her sweet face that day.
Had I only known...

Miss you sweet girl.
You are forever in our hearts.
