It's that time again—the beginning of the school year, when kids demand new wardrobes along with their pencils and paper. Outfit your little ones at new children's consignment shop Lily Pad of Towson (6907 York Rd.; 410-377-0025; www.lilypadoftowson.com), which carries both new and "gently loved" clothing for infants up to age 12. Gap, Janie and Jack, and Polo all hang in miniature form along the walls. The store is a veritable playground of clothing, as children stuff their feet into brightly patterned Western Chief rain boots and doodle on the shop's chalkboard. Lily Pad also carries maternity wear, bedding, and diaper bags, as well as high chairs, strollers, and car seats. Owner Sarah Weiskittel, who grew up in the neighborhood, started the shop as a way to live greener by recycling clothes, and that mantra has carried over into some of the store's new items, such as the Oprah-endorsed snackTAXIs (pictured), reusable cloth snack and sandwich bags that can replace disposable plastic bags—perfect for eco-friendly school lunches ($6.95 snack size, $8.95 sandwich size).
