GLITTERFUL FELT STORIES

TICKLERTAGS

It’s tough enough keeping your own daily schedule straight, but for kids it can be downright confusing.  TicklerTags are a simple system of interchangeable backpack reminder tags to help remind children of their after school activities and transportation arrangements.  Simply attach an Activity Tag and a Transportation Tag to your child’s backpack each morning to establish the day’s plan and eliminate the confusion for everyone…including teachers.

TicklerTags were designed to accommodate readers and non-readers alike by using simple, colorful and iconic images.  Plus, you can attach extra words of encouragement for the day’s upcoming test or remind them of how much you love them with a Tickle Tag.  Personalize your TicklerTags with special photos or messages too.  Great for children too young for cell phones, but old enough to have a schedule!

MIMI’S BABIES

Creating special gifts for your special babies is the goal of Mimi’s Babies. We want to bring a sentimental touch to gift giving and share the love that is given with a handmade piece.  After giving many handmade gifts at baby showers and making custom items for friends and family, we decided to open a handmade business and Mimi’s Babies was born.  Each of our products arrives ready to gift.

Mimi and Charissa have teamed up to share our talents with you. We hope that you are delighted with what you find in our shop.  We carry crochet beanies, crochet flower hairclips, monogrammed shirts including birthday shirts and little boy tie shirts, buggy buddies, crochet kimono booties, and little boy crochet loafers.  See an item you like, but want a different color, contact us and see what we can make.  Custom orders are always welcome.

NOAH AND LILAH

My shop Noah and Lilah was born after I became pregnant with my daughter.  Knowing I was having a girl, I wanted to be able to make her cute little dresses that weren’t mass-produced in some factory in China, and I wanted sophisticated and fun clothes for her.  The fact that I can now make my son pants in any “theme” he’s currently enjoying (like airplanes) is a bonus!

Every piece is handmade by me in my home studio.  I also love custom orders.  Want a dress style in a different fabric?  Let me know!  Curious if I can make something you don’t see listed, such as a tie for your little guy?  No problem!  I love doing what I can to make my customers thrilled with their purchase.  I hope you love shopping with Noah and Lilah!

New Children’s Shoes, is owned and operated by a mom who knows all about children’s shoes. My children, two boys, 5 and nearly 2 are my test market for all the brands I carry.  My 5 year olds new favorite sneakers are the Jumping Jacks Morphis.  He has them in the black and red.  He calls them his super fast racing sneakers.  He is right.  They are a machine washable, super lightweight, flexible sneaker, perfect for running very fast.

I, as an owner of a children’s shoe store, really love kids shoes.  I worked as a teenager and a young adult at Thom McAn shoes.  That is were my initial experience came from.  When I became a mom, my children became my experience and inspiration.  I was obsessed with fit.  My concern was their comfort.  When I could not find what I was looking for locally, I reluctantly went online to buy my sons shoes. Many moms are reluctant to purchase their children’s shoes online because of fit.  I understand.  That is why I make it easy.  We have a children’s shoe conversion chart that offers age ranges with correlating sizes.  We also have a link to Brannock scale, which is the shoe industry recommended scale for measuring feet.  I purchased a Brannock scale online for my sons feet.  You can purchase your own children’s Brannockscale online too.  It helps with the ease of buying children’s shoes online or you may call New Children’s Shoes.com during business hours 10:30 am – 5:30 pm EST. 860-678-7087 or email us at newchildrensshoes@yahoo.com any time and we will be more than willing to help you with fit.

Parents are very concerned about fit, cost and how long their child will wear high quality well-crafted shoes that cost more than the ones at the discount retailer for $10.   The number one question we are asked all the time is, “How long will my child wear these shoes?”   I respond, “I don’t know”, that is the truth, I don’t know.  The fit and how long your child will wear a pair of shoes, depends on your child’s growth pattern.  There are industry averages but parents can answer that question for themselves.  If you notice that your child’s clothing is getting smaller, get there foot measured.  We recommend 3 months minimum.  If you have a baby that is wearing shoes, once a month.  They grow so rapidly in the first 6 months of life and as they get older, every 3 months to 6 months.  There are children that will plateau for 6 months to a year.  Then all of a sudden, they are two sizes bigger.  In my experience in children’s shoe retailing, parents are sometimes not aware that their child went up two shoe sizes. My best advice is to measure frequently.  We recommend that the best rule of thumb is your thumb.  Your child’s big toe should be a thumb tip away from the end of the shoe for proper for growth.  When they get to the end, it is time for a new pair.

JUFFROUW JUUL

My name is Miranda and I am the mother of Julia 8 and Jonah 6!  Over 4 years ago I was a bit tired to see the same clothes in the shops again and again.  Even the brands which I really liked were always boring.  I had sewn a few shirts for Julia and I received many responses to it, including where people could buy the shirts so I thought i have to do something with this.  I suddenly had so many ideas and then I started my first webshop.

You can now expect new things almost daily on the site to keep it fun for me and more fun for customers, also now a lot of  customers no longer have to be disappointed that something is sold out.  The increasing number of shops with almost identical clothes keeps me motivated with any collection to stay different and to explore my creativity.  Looking for an original invitation to a party, or a banner for your shop or business card. …. also for these grafic things the possibilities are endless at Juffrouw Juul!  Take a look at the site and see what’s is possible!

THE ORIGINAL FREEDOM BELT™

• The Original Freedom BeltTM is an elastic belt that will fit your child from toddler up to pre-teen 27″ waist.

• Styles & colors are neutral so it always looks age appropriate and neat.
• The rounded buckle has no sharp edges or pieces to poke children in the belly.
• Unlike heavy magnetic buckles that may become unclasped, or Velcro closures that get “fuzzied”, the Original Freedom Belt’sTM> buckle is light & attractive with vintage charm. The buckle lays flat, so no “buckle bulge” under shirts.
• The 1″ wide, double-sided polyester or cotton elastic will fit through toddler pant loops and will not fade, fray or lose elasticity.

• Machine washable and made in the U.S.A. by a Mom
• I have pledged 10% of proceeds to charitable causes such our local teen center and other children’s programs.
