Old Webster Sidewalk Sale and New News (?)

It's official! We will be participating in the Old Webster Sidewalk Sale. We'll be out with other vendors from the Webster area, up and down the tree lined streets of the Old Webster Business District and Old Orchard on June 9, from 9am to 2pm. I've been in past years and there are always lots of great finds. And it's such a quaint area, perfect for strolling and...maybe...buying some cute, funky, totally-perfect-for-that-new-little-one tshirts!! Hope to see you there!

And for our new news...or just news?...we're now at the awesome, funky, totally mod store called City Sprouts in the U. City Loop. We sent our first shipment over yesterday and I couldn't be more excited than if I won the lottery...just kidding. I'd be more excited about the lottery...well, but only if it was a lot of money, like over 100 dollars. I digress...we're at City Sprouts. www.citysprouts.com.

Girls On The Run

This Saturday, May 5 is a run for a great organization called Girls On The Run...www.girlsontherunstlouis.org. It's a program for preteen girls that uses running as a way to teach young girls about self worth...which, as most of us grown gals know, is quite a challenge with all the social pressures out there. The run is in Tower Grove, 9 am...a great run in a great location for a great cause (sponsored by the great StL Track Club), sounds like a great Saturday morning to me!! Join us!

We're Up and Running

Literally running...like a chicken with its head cut off! Trying to juggle children, businesses, household, all while trying to eat right, feed children right, exercise, keep up with Workout on Bravo (anyone else addicted to this?) is absolutely nuts but, you know what? It's totally exciting! Have I strayed? Oh, yeah, up and running...Ava's Closet is finally ready to rock and roll. Our last step, which was the webpage, has been completed. A store here in STL called Kangaroo Kids (www.kangarookidsonline.com) is carrying us and we're soon to be picked up by Polkadot Patch Boutique(www.polkadotpatch.com). We're very excited to be growing so quickly and getting such a great response to our products. I'm especially excited that I get to use this little project to do some good...we're putting a portion of our profits toward local events and charities as well as Kiva (www.kiva.org), an amazing organization helping to put an end to poverty in third world countries. So, keep an eye on us...we're going to be everywhere because you can't find stuff like ours anywhere!
