January 2013

Happy 2013 to you all and we hope that you have a wonderful happy and prosperous 2013 and have had a great Christmas and lovely holiday and welcome to any new babies that have come along over the holidays. Sorry for not sending out a newsletter for so long but the days just got away on me before Christmas.

Well the holiday break is now over and we have only done two Markets this year instead of our normal sixone in Whangamata where the weather was not that kind to us but it was great to see some our customers who were on holiday up that way, and one in Mangawhai where is was very hot and sunny just till we were ready to pack up and then the wind came up and it was just under a 5 hr trip home due to the bumper to bumper slow moving traffic north of Auckland, then a crash on the Motorway so I was glad to see my driveway as it had been a 4.45am start as well and I was hanging out for coffee by the time I got there.

I personally will not be attending alot of our regular Auckland markets this year, and after a long discussion with my friends Jessica and Andrew Millar of Weepals Ltd who will be having our range of products at the markets that I normally attend like Marys, Coatesville, Titirangi etc as I am finding it so costly with the petrol etc to be making all these trips up that way, but I will still come up some of time to them as I do love doing the markets and shows and seeing my customers and their children, another one that we wont be at this year will be the Baby Show, due to the high cost of a stand and also most of our products are aimed at the toddler upwards and the Baby Show concentrates now on Baby before and after and I just do not have the full range to cover this.

SUPER SPECIAL TILL THEY ARE ALL GONE

MY WEE FRIEND TOILET TRAINING STICKERS SPECIAL As we are no longer going to be selling this product (My Wee Friend) theToilet training and aiming stickers so they are now all going out at below cost price so be quick to get yourselves a bargain of these great invention that really does work

We have a few very busy couple of months coming up as you will see from our list of events so hopefully we will catch up with some of you then.

We are now into getting into gear with our merino and waterproof clothing for the coming months and will be bringing in a couple more designs in the merino, plus we are going to bring back our reverible cord/cotton pinafore and pants for the winter due to some of our customers requesting these again.

We now have a new section in our Baby Gear of Prem Clothing and will be doing more in this section as the months move on as we are working on a bodysuit at the moment with a cross over front in merino so that all the wires etc will be accessible on these wee poppets.
