And one baby later...

Well, it's obviously been awhile. I promise I have an excuse...our third baby came last fall and I started another working position part time. Things have been busy...then we had website "issues". But alas, all is resolved and we're back up and running. But I have to admit, that's the great thing about runnin' the show, if you need a break, you can take it! So, we're back to providing great tees that everyone's talking about (I've now had two relatives tell me they saw our tees on random kids out and about!! That's a cool feeling!).

In Love With Etsy

This is not breaking news because I've been in love with this site for quite awhile but, it occurred to me that there may be others out there who have yet to discover it. And in the spirit of yesterday's holiday (Valentine's Day), I thought I'd share so that others might fall in love also: http://www.etsy.com/. Hooray for creative artists who express themselves with all these beautiful creations! Don't go to Target anymore, go to Etsy!

Another feature! They like us! They really, really like us!

We are super excited here...we've gotten yet another feature in an awesome e-publication called Tangled and True. T+T is a site dedicated to women and mothers with a focus on all things modern, simple, pretty and organic. They support mother/women-run products and services that prove non-mainstream...'nuff said! They have my vote for pretty-awesome-site! Visit them and read about how much they loved our line of tees here: http://www.tangledandtrue.com/2008/02/avas-closet.html. *Just a note that one of the comments to their article was how cute my daughter is in her pic!! See, she really IS cute, I knew it (you know that feeling you get that maybe you, as the mother, are totally biased and in reality, you're the only one who thinks your kid is the cutest one on the planet...now I can quit doubting myself!!) :)

Ava's Closet now at #1 Baby Boutique in StL

We've landed a spot at one of St. Louis' cutest boutiques, Purple Cow Kids. We're very excited to be part of owner, Laura's, collections. Purple Cow is THE place in St. Louis for recycled DESIGNER kids' clothes and Laura has a special section for fabulous new finds (which is, of course, where we fit in :). For more info on her store (voted #1 Baby Boutique in StL by the Riverfront Times) You can visit her website here: www.purplecowkids.com.

Fabulous Websites You Must Check Out

I recently came across these websites that really impressed me...check them out: First is a site created by the Ad Council to encourage voters to register but it puts an awesome spin on their campaign and goes into much more than just encouraging voter registration (http://www.getgoodkarma.org/). The next is an ingenious idea called VolunteerMatch. You can put in your zip code and pull up countless not for profit organizations in need of community volunteers...whether you have an hour or every day. What a great idea (http://www.volunteermatch.org)! These sites definitely need to be shared!

A New Year

Happy New Year from Ava's Closet. Things are getting back to normal here after a hectic holiday. We're starting a new year with a new design. It's still in the making but should be available later this month. We promise it will be as unique and inspiring as the rest of them! We're also going to have more color selections in our existing designs, so look for those mid-January also. Here's to a fulfilling year with many smiles and giggles!
