GLITTERFUL FELT STORIES

TEN AND TEN

Ten And Ten is a store full of charming gifts for babies. It grew out of my love for knitting and my newfound penchant for sewing. As a Houstonian I have little use for numerous cozy warm knitted items, so I created this store to have an excellent excuse to pick up the needles- even when it’s 70°F in January. I hope you enjoy all the Ten And Ten has to offer and if you don’t find something that is perfect for you, I welcome custom orders!

LOUIE LOUIE BEBE

I love making dolls. It is a long process and my fingers constantly ache from the pulling and tugging and sewing, but I love to see how people react to my dolls. I am constantly thinking about new dolls, searching for better techniques, different material, but in the end, the beauty in making waldorf- inspired dolls is the simplicity of it all. A bit of natural wool roving, cotton thread, embroidery floss and a bit of mohair wool, and voila!~ A doll emerges.

I work at home, in a lovely, spacious studio adjacent to the children’s playroom, which is where quite a few of the dolls/toys end up, smudged in chocolate and bananas, after enduring some, err, affection from my 3.5 years old daughter, Sophia.  She likes to ‘test-drive’ my dolls and if I am not carefull, I will end up with nothing to sell. My 5 1/2 year old son, Luca, enjoys helping mom operate heavy machinery..He comes into the studio and we have little chats about my work and the machines, shipping stuff, packing stuff. He is into scissors nowadays, so he likes to see me cut fabric.

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

The Brands We Carry Are Babybotte, Beeko, Jumping Jacks, Keen, Kenneth Cole Reaction Kids, Merrell, Naturino, Petit Shoes, Ricosta, Sun San Salt Water Sandals, Tsukihoshi, TTY and Umi. 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.
