The Wooden Soldier's phone # is 800-375-6002.
hmmm, abby, not sure what you mean about not getting my joke....because it's not a joke and i also did not mean money was NOT an object. i was saying the wooden soldier is fairly pricey. it would be less than 300 dollars, though. they don't seem to have an online website, but i found a number for them. i just threw away a catalog 3 days ago. dd used to get one outfit a year from them. they were the most wonderfully made clothes she ever had.

i also was incorrect that i thought, you thought ,I THOUGHT money was no object. money is an object.

now i get it! lol i said i was slow! :>) (since so many of your posts are jokes...and i didn't find anything on "wooden soldier"...i just thought it was a joke i didn't get!)

there is a lovely set of green flower print dresses. i think the mother's dress is 74, but the kids' are maybe 25 or 30 bucks each. i think if you call them tomorrow, they may have a catalog with more mother daughter selections. i know i used to see 4 or 5 different ones in each catalog.
my daughter had the most beautiful royal blue swing coat with matching hat and hand warmer. it was 108 dollars, but after she wore it, i sold it on eBay for 75 dollars. it still looked brand new. unfortunately, in california you can't wear a nice winter dress coat that often! i am at a loss as to the brand name, but it started with an H i think. now i have to google just cause it'll keep me up all night trying to remember!

abby, where do you live? in los angeles there is someplace called the california mart or something like that. i know i heard a couple of years back that they sold wooden soldier clothes the last friday of every month for discounted prices. since i have never been there, i can't vouch for there being a california mart to this day or if they still feature specials on wooden soldier clothing.
sometimes eBay has wooden soldier clothing.

here is a seller who has multiple mother/daughter dresses and you can order a mother's dress and/or a child's dress, or more than one child's dress and a mother's dress, etc. just a thought.

weiner, thanks for the california mart link!!

Okay, so Weinermr can go pick up the matching mother and daughter outfits on his lunch tomorrow with the money he saved buying Tabbyking-recommended floor lamps in Juju's Lamps thread?

Abby, I can second Tabby's endorsement of Wooden Soldier clothes. Miss Sarah gets several outfits each year from their catalog (usually one or two each season) and they are the best and well worth the money. We recently ordered her some summer outfits as well as her Easter dress and hat and we love them.

We also got her Christmas dress from them in addition to some skirt and sweater sets for church in the winter. They have a variety of prices from medium to more than we're willing to pay for a 7 year old. But everything is very high quality and even more beautiful than pictured.

Thanks again for all this great info. I called the 1-800 number (wooden soldier)...no answer. I think I called too late in the day. I'll call early tomorrow. I'll ask them to send Dee a catalogue...and me too.

I've been checking the site out (I don't think you can order online though). I'm going to have so much fun now buying for my 1.5 year old great niece! (I'm usually a baby shoe freak) Thanks.

Tess and Tabby: Just so you know, I just sent an e-mail to Deidrie (my niece). I let her know what I know.

I raved on and on about wooden soldier (she won't read the e-mail until tomorrow because i already know she is having company tonight).

However, more so ,I told her about "Tabby" and then how "Tess" verified what "Tabby" said.

Long story, short...I basically told her what you told me (from above posts..and credited both of you). Then, I explained "you" to her by saying this: they are 2 great mothers and i truly respect their opinions.

Again, thank you.

I'll let you know what happens.

Uhhhhhhhhhh, Abby7? You did explain, however, that Tabbyking and Tess are dangerous axe murderers, right?

Thanks Landi! I never found "wooden soldier" on Google, even after Tabby so kindly suggested it. For some reason (I think because of the name vs the question..i thought it was a joke).

Anyway, the response, now ,is just as great as last August when I came here to find "the perfect gift" for my great niece. JMM told me about www.redenvelope.com.

Tess, again,backed her up. (wow, Tess, can we work something out where i buy any clothes you want to sell? lol). On that site, I ordered the most precious engraved blanket. I now get their catalogue and love all their stuff. Not just baby stuff. Just great. In fact, that was in August of 2003. In December 2003, I was listening to the "Today Show" (?) out of New York. There was a short segment about shopping online. They showed many great items from different online sites.

Then, "Red Evelope" comes up. They showed some great gifts. Everyone (even the news people agreed on how great this site was!). Anyway, "they" called "red envelope" the "tiffany's" online.

Now, Red Envelope does offer the red box with white ribbion (like the blue/with white)...however...I didn't find their prices to reflect the prices of Tiffany's.

The blanket, in fact, was under $30...plus, maybe 3-5 for engraving. I forget exact price now.

Either way, this is THE SITE to come to for advice. I don't even question. If "you" say so..fine with me.

I really feel I need to start paying for this advice.

juju, one teeny weeny little 'incident' with the axe, and you have to blow it all out of proportion :-)
i'm sure none of those punk ganstas are still in therapy.
well, pretty sure.

and you don't even wanna know about stealing the axe from stanford with my cal buds!

or what really happened to the washington huskies' bell they ring at their home basketball games whenever they score. although to see the faces of the huskies players, coach, and fans when we rang THEIR bell 500 miles from its home at the game where cal hosted the huskies the next season was priceless. and we did give the bell back...once we were done and had our fun with it.

thanks again, tabby! i STILL believe your story about the axe falling out of your hand! sheesh! those cops don't believe nothin!

landi, I was going nuts trying to find Sarah's Easter dress so Abby could see how pretty it is and then I realized that's a 2002 catalogue, not 2004. duh!

That's a very good representation of what's available from them, though. If you call them, they will send a catalogue out right away. We get a new one a couple of times every month. My little tomboy loves to just look at them over and over again. Makes me laugh.

Holly in her dress is just beautiful.

Abby, I LOVE the Red Envelope. I'm glad that worked out for you.

landi, we found that catalog website last night. unfortunately, you can't order online and abby tried the number but it was either not answered or busy. i can't remember which. i am hoping she can get through to get a catalog sent out in time to place an order if she wants.
i had a catalog not a week ago that i threw out probably friday!

OH, AND THEIR SIZES SEEM TO RUN LARGE. dd wore a child's size 8 dress until 6th grade.

What a great line of clothing! Girls are so much fun to dress and shop for and it is nice to see that not everything is about the Britney Spears look.
