Head-first Dumpster Dive

I was so excited to have found what I thought could be a promising consignment shop right here in Germantown. I actually found out about the establishment -- Emma's Closet -- in an article in Washington Parent. Immediately, I thought -- hidden gem?

One of the very last things I've yet to buy is a baby bag. I've been picky. I wanted something stylish that doesn't look like a baby bag. Encouraged by the Washington Parent article, I made plans to zip over there today and be wowed. After all, I have been in some really great consignment stores. Some carry very upscale pieces and resemble high-end boutiques while others look like third-day garage sales. Unfortunately, Emma's was more of the third day garage sale variety. I was so disappointed.

However, I have bookmarked this listing I found online of some other consignment stores, a few of which I hope to check out. If any of you guys who live in Maryland happen to be reading this post, can you take a look at the list and let me know if you you've heard anything about any of them?

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to find a nice one to check out.
