BOLD Move!

I made a bold move and emailed a couple of baby clothes shops about consigning my bows and hats to them. I sent them some pictures of most of the ones I have made and I just got an email from them. I'm sooooo EXCITED! Wahooo! This is what they said:

Hi Angela,

Thanks for the pictures! Everything looks really nice. We are interested in your clips/bows and hats. I'd like to discuss with you the kind of prices you would like to get for them. Maybe if you could use the ones you sent and tell me the prices you'd like to get for them it would give me a better idea if we could work something out.

There are 2 ways we could sell the bows.
#1- we consign, typically you would get up to 75% of the selling price and the store would get 25%.
#2- we buy the bows/clips from you at "wholesale" price and then price them as we wish.

Look forward to talking to you. You do really nice work!

Trees!

The first thing Annika does when I put her in her high chair is look out the window and says her word for, "trees." She does this every time and starts reaching out or waving at them. Today, when she did this, Nolan says, "She's reaching for the heavens!" :)

I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home...

I took this video recently of when Adam was on his way home. Annika loves to wait in front of the window when she hears that Daddy's on his way home. She gets so excited. When he leaves in the morning she likes to wave goodbye. Throughout the day she'll look out the window and wave, waiting for Daddy to come home. It's especially exciting when he comes home and it's still light outside. :) (Don't mind my annoying voice in the background, just thought it'd be cute to share.)

Sick Of Being Sick!

Today, I finally took Nolan to the Doctor. His cough that he's had since we got back from Arizona was driving me crazy. I made an appointment a couple of weeks ago, but canceled it cuz he seemed to be on the mend. But then, it came back. I can't even tell you how much cough medicine we've gone thru, not to mention the vaporizer every night. Anyways, so finally we went. The Doctor listened to his chest and back with his stethoscope and said he's got pneumonia. That's what I was afraid of. This boy catches everything so easily. It's just hard to immagine how he could be so sick with how much energy he has, although the last few days he's been taking naps. He even fell asleep on the way home from school the other day. That NEVER happens. So, the Doc wrote a couple of prescriptions for some medicine. When the pharmacist saw me, she gave me the look of, "again?" Since last week was Annika. Yep, looks like we'll be missing another week of church. :P

Sneak A Peek!

Here's a sneak peek at my new blog. Nothing is in my store yet, but that's next... www.cuteasabuttonlittleboutique.blogspot.com

A Silent e

Adam asked Nolan's teacher, Mrs. Pitzer, how he's doing in school and is there anything we need to work with him on at home. She said she's amazed at the things he knows. The other day they were going over how to write sentences. Right now they're learning to write words how they sound rather than how they are actually spelt. She wrote, "I skat" on the board and asked the class what the sentence needed at the end of "skat." The answer she was looking for was, "a period." Nolan said, "a silent e." He was right, may not have been the answer she was expecting, but he was definitely right!
