The countdown to launch is officially on! We are counting down to Sept 7th. That is just over a week away.... can't wait! I received another shipment this weekend and I have to share..... Thanks to the NYC trade show I found SHirin Kids - beautiful and artistic tees, onesies and hats to keep baby looking good. These are hand silk screened prints that make a wonderful gift. Love this line!

kit + lili and Go Gently Baby


This week, I received my first shipment from kit+lili - a Brooklyn based line. I adore these onesies and rompers for baby. Bright, vibrant colors and very cool designs - an adorable onesie covered with cherry colored apples! (see pic) How fun! And thanks to one of the Ladies in my Ladies Who Launch group, I have discovered a new line called GoGentlyBaby. The thing I love most about the line is their choice of organic and sustainable fabrics. Plus the clothing is constructed in LA and looks uber cool!! I will be checking out the fall line so look for more on that in a few days!
Ok, I tried not to use too many of these (!!!) but I just can't help myself..... :-)

New Maternity Lines for Launch!!!

I found a couple of new lines that I am going to try to squeeze in for launch....First there is the ultimate layering piece to transition between the seasons. Inca Mama sweaters from Peru... they are modern and soft and versatile. These will be a must have for Fall and Winter! And I finally found a line of diaper bags that will be perfect for the launch. Babymel London - the perfect bag for the mom who wants function AND style...at a great price! I will try to limit my exclamation marks for future posts...I am just so excited :-)

My First Shipment Arrived Yesterday!!!


I was enjoying a late night with friends on a rooftop in the Meatpacking district so as excited as I was about my first shipment last night....I waited until now to open it. I need my sleep!! I am sooooo excited!! Lifefactory wee•Go® bottles with adorable silicone sleeves. They come in these vibrant, juicy colors that look like sherbet ! Yum!! AND can I just say Bebe Au Lait nursing covers, double bibs, burp cloths and hooded blankets......so fab - the patterns are sophisticated but fun at the same time..... & even the packaging is lovely. I can't wait to get the site updated so I can start to show these wonderful products! But for now, I am off to the day job. More soon....

Ladies Who Launch Incubator - I am Now a BELIEVER!

Ok, quick post before I am off to work.... (the day job) ... I went to my first Ladies Who Launch Incubator session last night in Union Square and let me just say..... I am a total believer already. This was the first of four sessions with the same group and I can't wait until next Tuesday. These ladies are amazing! To have a place where I can actually talk about my company and my ideas and get inspiration and encouragement from this very diverse group of women - I can't even describe it. I will give more details later since I have homework to do.....good homework honey!

Bubble NYC - My first trade show...

So, today .... even with the MONSOON rain showers in NYC, I ventured out to attend my very first trade show. And I am very glad I did! I discovered some wonderful new lines! And even placed a order. I feel that my line up of baby stuff is looking pretty good....and with todays addition....it is going to be "killer"! (To borrow a description from Amanda who I met today!!) Amanda sells Nui Organics - a beautiful line of organic merino wool childrens wear. I saw her line and HAD to add it to the launch wear for the site. So check back at launch for her beautiful organic wool wear. And the Kina collection of handcrafted natural baby booties. They are lovely.
