I have huge bags of women's clothing in various sizes that either don't fit me now, or that are not my style or color (I got a bunch on San Francisco Freecycle). Many are in great shape. My sister (who was visiting from Skokie, IL) helped me go through all my clothes and I have generated over 11 LARGE (33 gallon) TRASH BAGS of clothes to give away!
The only time I came to Coco's in Concord, I brought 6 shopping bags of clothing and no one took any and I had to bring them back home -- although I have to say I got 2 pair of very nice crop pants (black and turquoise) in a 16 that fit me now - thank you whoever brought those. But I am not about to schlep 11 large trash bags around.
If you want to come to my house to check out the clothes and take them with you, please let me know (I live in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco - right off 101 or 280):
I have clothing organized into theses sizes:
26 and above (including some 3X and 4X -- I have about 4 large trash bags full, including some size 26 pants that have hardly been worn and some lovely blouses (size 30/32) and some underwear and bras (mostly 44DDD and some 46DDD).
24 - about 2 large trash bags full, including some 2X/3X
22- about 3 large trash bags full, including some 2X
20- about 1 trash bag full
18 - about 1/2 trash bag or less
16- about 1/2 trash bag of mostly things that are not my style or color (but they may be yours)
I would rather give these to WLS people than offer them on SF Freecycle or give them to Goodwill, but if I don't get any interest from this post, I will give them away in some other manner.
You can call me to ask questions about the clothing, and leave your name and number on the machine if I am not home - and tell me why you are calling, so I don't think you are trying to sell me something :-)
Thank you all for reading this post and I look forward to meeting you when you come to pick up clothing.

Good Morning Annette....
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your MIL. I am sure that has been hard on the family.
A very big CONGRATS on being a Happy GrandMa.
As for get some stuff for her and the baby. Have you tried FreeCycle.com? If not you should. You will love it. Everything is FREE!!! My only advice is to set up a second email address and have everything sent there. Some days there can be a ton of stuff and you might miss your own stuff.
Have a wonderful day.

that alone is stressful...long ass story.
Wed I got news that my uncle was killed in a farm accident.
wow.....shocking stuff.
the services were today, in Mnnesota. so i didn't go.
that makes me feel crappy too, wish i could be there with family.
today i had a job interview at an agency, they had nothing for me but will look.
sigh.
wish i could have a glass of wine.
i am going to see my son play in a band tonight in downtown San Jose.
that will be nice
Well I told you that you would have to wait until today for my SURPRISE.
I AM GOING TO BE A GRAMMY -
As I had mentioned a while back, we were dealing with my MIL who had cancer and was on hospice. Well, mom did not last very long and passed on May 24th. We found out about the pregnancy on May 27th.
There have been some issues with the pregnancy so we kept it quiet until her 2nd trimester which begins today.
I am happy to report that the pregnancy is moving forward as it should, she is feeling much better physically & mentally.
She lost her temp job once they found out she was pregnant and not much we can do about that. Finding work has been hard so she is home learning to cook, clean and all that good stuff we GREAT MOM's & DADS do.
Once the baby is born I will have her butt in the State Board exam for Cosmetology so quick her head will spin. She did graduate from Cosmetology but can't do state board due to pregnancy and chemicals. So we will wait until February.
On that note, if you have any baby clothes, etc. you would like to share, we are not shy and will take good care of them. If only the kids knew how expensive it is to raise kids.
I have wanted to be a grammy for so very, very long and now I am going to be one. I just DON'T WANT TO RAISE MY GRANDBABY.
Have a fabulous weekend, hope you enjoyed my surprise and hope it was worth the tease and wait.
Peace, Love, Joy
Annette

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
& all are different colors....but they
ALL exist very nicely in the same box.
