I don’t have any kids and I’ve never been one to consider myself a kid at heart, but I do love fashion and lately I’ve noticed that Decatur has some pretty fashionable clothing options for kids and babies. Wiggle, a Decatur kids fashion favorite, is smack dab in the middle of its summer sale. Get the details on their Facebook page. Blue Caboose and Feather Baby are new additions to the Decatur kid fashion scene. Blue Caboose is tucked away behind Cafe Lily and Sushi Avenue on West Ponce and sells both consignment and new clothing for babies and toddlers. Feather Baby, located between Fleet Feet and Twist ‘n’ Scoot,  has adorable (I hardly ever use that word) organic clothing. And Salon Red Kids has a window full of LilliWear including the popular “Messy Girl” Reversible Dresses. I wish someone would make a reversible dress in my size! Until then, I’ll be visiting all these shops for my friends’ kids.

Decatur Metro already posted a photo of Renfroe Garden’s new art piece earlier this week, but we love it so much that we wanted to post some images here too. Not only is the garden back in tip top shape, it now has a great piece of garden art. Three cheers for DREAM Camp’s All Girls Green Team and city employees who all had a hand in making it!
