SOWA 2008!

We participated in the South End Open Market this weekend! It was a blast and went great- here are some photos of our booth-- enjoy and thanks to all who participated!

workspace!

My workspace is finally finished after much organizing-- it's so much nicer to work now! Enjoy!

Lucky, lucky!!

Anybody else addicted to taking photos of their kids? I don't think it's technically something that I should enter rehab for... but maybe close! hehe. I love being in the right place at the right time (and having a child in the right temperment!) I got this shot the other day of the two kids and I just HAD to post it. So lucky!

In other news, lots of sales with the kick off of the WINTER SALE at coochooloo. All of my hats and cozy cuffs, and other goodies are on sale and clearance. My inventory is growing for spring and summer, and I'm making space for all of the delicious colors, textures and prints to come. Enjoy the end of the winter season by purchasing cold season items for friends, family, yourself!

Still waiting on the vintage buttons... I think they got hung up at the Canadian border... when they arrive I'm going to take a gorgeous photo of them in all their vintage glory.

Hope you are warm and well! Happy February!

FEATURED ARTIST Brandi Ann Designs

I've decided to feature some artists that I admire on etsy occasionally. Tonight I've chosen a lovely company, I especially enjoy her jewelry designs- the colors are vibrant and delicious. You can find her work at brandi ann designs... http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5506331

These earrings, particularly, I think are so gorgeous!

Thanks for letting me feature you!

New Photos!

I decided to take new photos of all of my hats, ties, and cozy cuffs for the website to pull it together - I'm so happy with the results! Hope you enjoy it too...

A child's perspective...

So I was inspired by a friend who took up-close photos of her children's toys as nursery decor to do the same, in a bizarre attempt to also gain a child's perspective on some of my children's toys :) Waste of time? Ha!- I think not. Well, regardless, it was a lot of fun and the kids helped me choose which toys to photograph. Here are our artistic shots of some of their favorites ...

Looking at these got me thinking about what in my spring/summer line might appeal to children as well as adults. As grown-ups we often take the liberty of dressing our children however we like... classic, trendy, sometimes uncomfortable? I'm proud to say that my items are designed with children in mind, hoping to appeal to mommies and babies alike. But these photos also got me thinking about some fun shapes and colors I can incorporate into my designs, to appeal to little coochooloos, the way that these toys entertain and brighten the kids' day.

Enjoy!
