I'm probably going to regret it, because it sounds like total chaos, but I'm planning on going to the Boden/Mini-Boden sample sale at Hynes tomorrow. Here is the link in case anyone is interested:

Have any of you gone before? Is it worth it?

I didn't know this existed but I definitely want to go! I'll have to wait until April

Mrs. Wagon & I had talked about maybe going, but I think I'm gonna skip it, not sure what she decided. You should ask her though, I'm sure she'd make an excellent partner in crime at a boden sale

@mossyslane: @mrs. bird: Hehe dang Skippy! I decided not to go but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be the last time I can resist going. One of my coworkers goes to every single one and she loves them. She doesn't have kids but she warned me that the mini Boden stuff goes IMMEDIATELY so you have to go super early and camp out. Also you have to go with multiple people because someone has to stand in line for checkout because that's the thing that takes the most time. You can take turns shopping.

@mrs. wagon: so i just checked the date for the springfield one (i figure that one will be less of a zoo), and i'm totally bummed, it's the day of my brother's post wedding celebration if i call now, they should be able to change the date for me, don't ya think??

@mrsbookworm: @mrs. wagon: @mrs. bird: It was so much fun! Definitely crazy and I would have tips for anyone who decides to go in the future, but I would absolutely go again. It was busy and chaotic, but everyone was super friendly and there was a lot of variety to choose from. I ended up with three dresses and a couple of tops for me and a really cute skirt and dress for DD. Highly recommend, but I am exhausto and on an adrenaline rush at the same time

thanks for posting this!! we're in Boston right now and went this morning. it was a little crazy, and I think we might have found more if we went earlier because the baby stuff was pretty slim pickings, but we ended up buying some great stuff! Dh got a khaki sportcoat, I got an awesome pair of flats, and we got a couple cute pairs of pants, a onesie, and a top for baby. We hadn't bought really any clothes yet since our shower is in about 3 months, but this was too good a deal to pass up! Plus we got a mix of 0-3 and 3-6 months, so it should be useful (and adorable!)

@nana87: Oh, I'm glad you got some good stuff! What time did you arrive? I got there by 8:30 and there was still quite a bit of baby stuff available when I got in the doors.

@mossyslane: we got there around 10:30, so the baby stuff must have already been picked over!
