THE STORY OF ESTEVAN'S HOLIDAY SALE

I was driving in the car yesterday with Estevan,

when he turned to me and out of the blue said

" Mom, I think we should have a Sale

for Christmas at Beansprouts.

I think you should make the new clothing 25% OFF

and the consignment clothing 50% OFF

( because it is used and can be more on sale ).

That way people can get stuff for their

kids for christmas on sale."

So, I asked him " when should this sale be?"

He said " You said that Saturday is your

busiest day at the store, so I think you should start on Saturday"

SO, WE ARE !!!

I suppose there is a reason he is the Manager, oh my

my little entrepreneur, so clever.

START SAVING THIS SATURDAY !

25% OFF SELECTED FALL FASHION AND SHOES!

50% OFF CONSIGNMENT CLOTHING AND SHOES!

INCLUDES : SOPHIE CATALOU, KARTOONS & KATALOONS, ME TOO, TERES KIDS ORGANIC, BABYMACI, ELEVEN SHOES, NATURINO SHOES

we HEART Baby Bear Shop

BABY BEAR SHOP
ORGANIC skincare for mama & baby

At my very first trade show abroad
i met the lovely Baby Bear Shop
and their gorgeous products.
It was an instant fit for Beansprouts, love at first sight.

Their products are deliciously organic and
thoughtfully produced in the usa.
ps. i love the packaging.
I am an artist at heart and always pay attention to the design
and the little details.

Their CHEEKY BABY BUTTER is simply the best
thing for eczema and dry skin.
Beansprouts customers swear by it for cradle cap as well.

Their newests editions are WISHY WASHY bodywash
and BABY BIRD SOAP.
They took their time to formulate the purest,
most nurturing baby soap there is.

Once you try it, you'll be in love too !

Introducing Mr. Maddex

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... yes, I know it is about time I posted a picture.
Everybody, meet Maddex, the newest addition to Sarah,Rustyn and Koby's family.

Born Saturday, March 27, 2010

Estevan,Koby and I rushed to the hospital and met him at just an hour old.
The boys were rubbing his cheeks, his head, his chin - they couldn't get enough of him.
It was so so special

This is the face , a slightly wrinkled brow and a little suspicious that he always gives me.
But he is a cuddly, lovable, mellow spirited baby, with the best wardrobe :)
and we all fight over who gets to hold him when he comes to visit Beansprouts.

Perhaps you will run into them here during an afternoon visit.

xoxo

the answer is . . .

. . . No, not yet.
Everyone has been asking the past few weeks,
"Has the girl with the blonde hair . . .?"
"Has the girl who works here that is pregnant ...?"
" Has Sarah had her baby yet?"

So the official update is, you will have to wait a little longer.
But not much, if Sarah has anything to say about it!

You know we will be posting cute photos as soon as we have them.
So be patient.

For now, we get to post this cute photo of Miss Sarah, all pregnant and glowing.

xoxo

The colours of the Olympics

Despite the little bit of boo hoo in the CBC interview I gave last week
( always just trying to keep it real) - we got out and enjoyed the Olympics this weekend!
The spirit that all of the athletes and visitors have given our city is priceless.
It is nice to see a bit a patriotism in Canada and to see the streets of Vancouver hoppin'
Me and Estevan went to our very first HOCKEY GAME!
MAKE SOME NOISE - I think I might have been more excited than he was !!!
What we would really like to do is ride the zip cord over Robson square,
but five hours is just too long to wait.
All of the excitement will be winding down soon and I am a little torn about that.
But it will be nice to have our city back to a bit of normal.

I would like to thank Kathryn Gretsinger for noticing our store window and taking the time to talk with us. A little piece of our conversation is on line. See the window that started the olympic conversation below and click here to listen http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/podcast.html

scroll down to 16/02/10: Pt 2 - Talk with Kathryn Gretsinger

Oh Canada!

Warm, cozy, waterproof booties for your Olympic walk about
or your day outdoors.
Send someone you love a pair
Made with love in Vancouver, Canada.

Olympic Snowboarder Style

Remember the energy of the 2010 games
with MILKSHAXS.
(who, by the way, celebrate vancouver sports in every seasonal collection )
Their classic snowboarder long sleeve is
available in black or red and
in newborn onesies through 7/8 year old long sleeves

now available at Beansprouts

Pro D Day

Ah, how sweet is was to watch the 'store manager' Estevan
inventory our new Speckles and Weeds cards.
He had his own system going and
was so proud to put the display together himself.
But was even more excited to help customers at the counter;
entering items, running the credit machine and
even wrapping presents - ALL BY HIMSELF!
He has been doing things all by himself at Beansprouts now for
almost 7 years! Yes, time flies !
We spent the entire day off school together.
A very memorable day.

night, night, sleep tight

I lovely story:
Last month we at Beansprouts made a boo boo and
paid out consignment funds twice.
It was our mistake , but now the recipient of the funds
has chosen to donate this "extra" money towards mosquito nets for children in Haiti.
Not a mistake at all !

THANK YOU, it is perfect !

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the start of 2010

This is one of my favourite photos from 2009.
And from a favourite moment,
the Mother's Day photoshoot at Beansprouts!
We'll have to do that again this year.
Can you believe it, another year!
I really was wishing for another white Christmas,
but am kind of happy I didn't have to shovel snow all day.
And since there is no snow and it somehow already feels like
Spring is around the corner, we are thinking about starting
Spring Consignment intake next week.
So sign up for our newsletter to be kept informed!
We will send out all the details.

All Consignment is now 20% off until the end of the month!
