fall has arrived...

...at least it has inside the shop!

that's right, new fall merchandise from Oeuf, Bluebird and Appaman is here and totally adorable! we also have a huge new shipment of hair accessories from Rachel Weissman...sparkle and glitter headbands, princess tiaras and a huge selection of the pinch clips that you love!

also new to the shop... super cool wall animals made from vintage wallpapers by Romp! these great wall animals can do wonders for a seemingly dull nursery or child's room. they are actual wallpaper so they are not moveable or reuseable, but it is soooo worth it! I can tell you from experience that it is easy!! just mix up the paste and go for it! we have monkeys, crocodiles, giraffes, elephants, lions, and birds in totally retro-chic patterns. we can also special order trees, like the one above in my daughter's room.

don't miss out on the last opportunity for seasonal sale merchandise! all spring/summer on the floor is 40%off and there are still $10 racks for both boys and girls!!

reminders and updates....

so this is my final reminder about the sale!!! come in now for 40% off or wait until friday for 50% off. friday, saturday and sunday (1-4pm) will be 50% off and all shoes $15!! also...we have put more merchandise out on the $10 and $20 racks, so even if you came in last week you'll find something new. 

FYI...we will be closed monday through wednesday at 12 (noon) for inventory, and to put the store back in order. when we re-open we will have new fall merchandise from Oeuf, Bluebird, and Kiwi Industries and select summer sale merchandise at 40% off.

Catimini will be shipping this friday, so i hope to have it all tagged and on the floor by next friday.

and we are excited to be introducing Oilily in the shop for the fall!!! I will update you when i hear about ship dates from them. I can however let you know that we will be having a trunk show in the shop in early september...more details to come!

inspiration...

i'll spare you the list of excuses for not posting in over a week and get straight to it...

are you inspired by the stories of successful business people? how about successful business women? women who juggle it all on a daily basis? and i'm not talking just walking the dog, doing the laundry, and making the lunches here....oh, these women do that too, but they also manage, make decisions that impact hundreds of lives and run extremely profitable businesses! these are the women whose stories are brought to us by the magazine Pink! the tag line "how to grow your firm to $1 billion" is what caught my eye on this month's cover! okay...you can stop laughing now!! i am well aware that even when (if?) red wagon becomes a huge success in birmingham and beyond, this could never be a real possibility. or could it?? it's that sense of wonder, that sense of "just maybe" that reading Pink raised for me. it planted a seed...maybe what i thought was impossible is actually possible. the inspiring stories set me back on track and got me re-focused on what seem to be the baby steps of growing my business! sometimes you just need confirmation that it can be done to rekindle your passion for what you do, and not be satisfied with the status quo.
