Last week the owner of Monk’s Trunk, a new kids consignment shop in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, emailed me to let me know about her store, and to tell me that they do pick ups of clothes! For busy moms, I know this is key!
Of course we have Still Hip in our neck of the woods – but if you can’t make it over there to drop things off, or just want another option (for getting rid of used things, or for shopping) then check out Monk’s Trunk located at 23 Hawthorne Street. Here’s a little more info on Monk’s Trunk:
*Sizes 0 to 6 for boys and girls from Gap, Tea, Janie & Jack, Jacadi, Petit Bateau, etc. in excellent used (or even new) condition, averaging 75% off retail.
*Selected baby gear and toys as well
* Bring in your kids’ clothes today for consignment and earn 40% off of sales price in cash. We are especially interested in sizes 3 to 6.

Fridays: 8:30 am to 6 pm [closing at 4 pm on 9/18]

The creators of BKLYN Yard Kids clothes wrote me recently to ask if I would do a little write up on their items. After looking over their adorable clothes and learning more about them I was more than happy to do so.
Brooklynites Michelle Zuluaf and Nicole Keating have created their own Brooklyn inspired clothing line, and are donating some of the proceeds of the sales to charity. This season they have decided to donate 10% of sales to H.E.L.P (Haitian Education & Leadership Program,) An organization providing scholarships to top high school graduates that could never afford an education. BKLYN Yard has also donated to the American Cancer Society during the 2009 holiday season and to DonorsChoose.org
So, that’s the “feel good” stuff… now on to the “look good” stuff. These clothes are super cute! Here are a few of my favorites from their Etsy shop – click on the image to take you to its page on Etsy:

They have a onesie version of this design for the little ones. It’s called “Catch you on the train.” This one is totally my favorite…. Cameron loves to take the subway – doesn’t matter where!
I Bike Breukelen Hoodie
For the little bike messengers out there, this hoodie will keep them cozy.
Spread Love It's The Brooklyn Way
Sometimes I wish I had a little girl… the fashions are just so adorable. Love, love, love this sweatshirt.
Breukelen Long Sleeve onesie
And a cute long sleeve onesie, so even the littlest Brooklynites can represent!

Brooklyn Junior Opening Party
You might recognize this old storefront on Clinton near Myrtle
New details were posted on Parents Around the Hill (via Fort Greene Kids) about the Kids store that is comming to Clinton Hill / Fort Greene. Check out the website and Blog for the clothing line / store named Brooklyn Junior where you can read more about the clothes and see what they look like. Super cute! Of course the store will also have some toys and accessories. I am hoping once it opens I won’t have to trek over to Area Kids for Birthday Presents…. with this place and Greenlight Bookstore, we are set!
The opening party is Halloween Night, 6-9pm. After that, regular business hours will be Tuesday – Sunday 12-6pm (closed Mondays). CLICK HERE TO GET A COUPON FOR 10% OFF!! Valid until 12/31/09. I will visit once the store is open and post some pics!
Exciting news! I just read on Brownstoner that a kids clothing and toy store is opening right in Fort Greene (Clinton Hill?) at 150 Clinton Ave (near Clinton and Myrtle) on Halloween night! Check out the article here for more info. Area Kids is pretty far from me, so I am hoping this is a good store! *fingers crossed*
The Mini Social just sent out mail that Mullins Square Halloween Costumes are on sale. I just went to check them out, and they are super cute! And lots to choose from. It seems like they are all $16 or $17 – not bad!
Mooo
