The Baby Bin Boutique: 02/19/09

February 19, 2009

Hi to everyone who happens upon our blog! I have decided to commit to at least ONE post every week so that our blog continues to grow, instead of becoming stale and outdated! There is so much going on right now to share with all who are interested!! Which brings me to my first question to all of you.......what would you like to see/hear/read about here? My daily challenge is deciding what to talk about ( as I can never seem to narrow it down) so maybe you could help!!! Love to get some relevent feedback in terms of what topics interest you? What would you enjoy reading about on a daily/weekly/monthly basis???? Do you want it to be strictly BBB business, or do you want to read about some of the behind the scenes stuff too? LET ME KNOW.

Phew- now that that has been said.....let's see what I can share with you right now!!

What's new this week at The Baby Bin Boutique??

Well......SPRING had certainly SPRUNG down here at the store! We have been accepting spring clothing and accessories now for almost a month- and I am so excited at all of the new fresh fun fashions for your kids that line our walls right now!! NOT thinking SPRING YET? well, let's think about this ladies.....Officially SPRING arrives in just 29 days!!! YAH... THAT'S RIGHT- and what do you think will happen when everyone realizes that they haven't updated their little one's wardrobes? We see it every year with the arrival of the warmer temperatures and longer days.........shop a little earlier this year and get the jump on filling their closets with the coolest trends!

Just to throw a couple of our featured brands at you!!! We have always strived to bring you the best in high quality gently loved fashions, and that is really paying off for our customers now as we sort through this spring"s consignment drop offs. From the 1000's of garments ( literally- I DO MEAN thousands!) we select ONLY the finest pieces to showcase at The Baby Bin Boutique!! Each time you come the store we offer you a different and vast selection of inventory . Many of our "regular" customers have learned to shop frequently- as you never know what treasure you will find, or who you may "bump" into at the store. Even just a day missed at the store can make a huge difference, I always look forward to "peeking" through the racks for my youngest........visiting my store is always such a treat!!!

NEW STORE PRODUCTS!!!

I spend so much of my free time searching for the latest and greatest gifts and gear so that our selection of hard to find and must have products are here for you when you walk through our doors!! I LISTEN when you suggest products, and ideas to me, and I do my best to get it in as soon as humanly possible!! Remember that I can't list everything we carry here, so be sure to stop by the store to check it all out!! This week everyone is talking about our.....

Jack and Lily Slippers and My Shoes Line

Kind Words We've Received

Hi Jenn! I was in your shop last week and bought some stuff - it was 50% off everything and I love the clothes that one of your consignors brought in!! Fromage, Appaman, Tea - I bought Emma a cute Tea outfit. I had my eye on this specific Tea design online, so I am sure that the outfit is from this year's line. I am glad you opened up your "big" kids clothes section. Paula

I LOVE the Baby Bin! I always heard about it from my friends and sister in law & I finally checked it out myself and by no means was I disappointed! I feel sometimes that I am advertising when I go to a gathering for instance, I had The Hippo placemat with my sons new stay put tray on the table for Thanksgiving. Followed by bringing out his new "snacktrap" for him to have an after dinner snack! Thanks for all you guys do! It is a great Boutique & I look forward to all the new things upcoming too!

Even though I have to trek all the way across the city to get to the BBB, I have never come back from a trip feeling disappointed. The consignment clothes are all of the greatest quality, in great condition and for a great price. Easily my favorite consignment store. And the boutique items are very cool.The staff is great too! Very friendly and accommodating, not at all ruffled if a small child wets herself or a toddler tries to claim all the stuffies/shoes/everything in the store. I've heard people complain about not being able to return things but that boggles my mind because from my own experience, the staff encourages you to learn and experience, for example, about the different baby carriers before you make your choice to make sure you make the right decision. They don't encourage you to impulse-buy like some stores seem to, they encourage you to make an educated decision, even if that means they may not make a sale. I love the feeling of moms-helping-moms that this store gives me!

I am so glad I stumbled across you during an internet search during the summer of '06. I have found so many unique, cool yet functional things that just can't be found anywhere else- I love that! And I love how you support local and Canadian businesses. Keep it up Jenn and co.!

I was there when it all began! I really dig this store! Jenn is awesome! LISA
