CELEBRITY and MOLO CELEBRATION

We don't really pay too much attention to what the celebrities children are wearing.

But it has been brought to our attention that Miss J Lo also has good taste, like Beansprouts.

Picking up two of our favourite pieces from this Fall's Molo Collection.

The grey long sleeve robot themed boys shirt and 

the lilac stretch leggings for girls with a not to be missed horse screen.

We have not put them out on the floor just yet, but they are here, so if you are

one of those must have kind of shoppers
you are welcome to ask us to take themout of the back for you.

We would be happy to.

meanwhile, it's all about MOLO this Fall . . .

Spreading the word

Did you know ...

that De Dutch pannekoeken house on 2nd ave has a large play area for children ?

For Easter, I took Estevan to his favourite breakfast in a new location 

and noticed the play area. 

The separate family room is so big, I am sure you could fit 25 people there.

Why don't more restaurants cater to families ? 

I hear customers talk about it all the time

so I thought I should spread the word.

The next time the mamas and papas want to go out for a bit with

the little ones, perhaps you should check it out.

mmmm... pannekoeken are so good !

Beansprouts 11th birthday !

Beansprouts is celebrating it's 11th birthday. We are so pleased to still be a part of this amazing community - Main Street. It has been through many changes, but still remains the street that people love to show their support for. Support for all those that made it what it is today, to bring the community together, to support those that create,work and live here. To support the small businesses, schools and organizations. To support each other.


Through the years we have made many friends in our little shop and in the community. And have seen many other new parents, like myself, start businesses from the growth, changes and learning that came from having children.  Like Beansprouts, Bamboletta Dolls began in 2003 near Main street. Recently we received a special gift from Bamboletta - "Finn" our new baby that will be helping parents test baby carriers at Beansprouts. Even through all the little changes, I feel as though things have come full circle. It is a warm and comfortable feeling. The same feeling I always strive to achieve at Beansprouts. 

So to celebrate our 11th birthday it seems quite fitting that we share the warmth and love. We have created a survey that we would love for you to fill out. We would love to hear your thoughts on our shop and any ways in which we could improve to serve you and the community better. By filling out the survey you may enter to win the lovely Bamboletta doll shown above. His name is Arlo and he is waiting for you.

Nostalgic designs by Miou Kids

Like most holidays, 
Easter reminds me 
of my grandmothers.
Backyard hunts, decorating eggs ( the old fashioned way when you blow out the egg through a little hole ) , 
baking cookies, colouring contests, decorating baskets, eating chocolate,
running from my uncle in the grass,
sun breaking through the clouds, 
cherry blossoms in the trees. Nolstalgic.

MIOU KIDS has created a new Spring cotton collection and these knits and crochets are most certainly nostalgic. Classic pieces in classic romantic colours.

The cardigans are the perfect spring layer to any outfit, the booties a perfect gift for a spring newborn and the bonnets are a must ! Certainly drop by Beansprouts to have a look, they are so gorgeous in person. We will be placing a new order again soon, so have a browse through their website and let us know if you want to add in any pieces that we may not have in stock.

Enjoy the cherry blossoms in the trees and the sunshine that seems to be blessing us this week.

Oh My !

I found this photo online tonight and it led me to a knitting website.

It felt strange to post someone else baby on my blog.

But how could I not share this photo.

It is absolutely beautiful, what a gorgeous precious moment.

If this doesn't make you want to have a baby, at least follow the link 

to the knitting blog and knit yourself up some of those adorable legwarmers !

Bottleblond Jewels, with love from Beansprouts

 i love finding that one new item that makes me want to jump for joy and i know right away that it's a quintessential "Beansprouts items" one of my favourites from 2013 is definitely the charming designs from Bottleblond Jewels. All of their pieces are hand made in California and thoughtfully put together. From the little clasp details to the packaging. Each piece is so special. I love the flowers that are hand poured using vintage molds, somehow it reminds me of my childhood.

Everyone's favourites seemed to be the numbered birthday necklaces and the bottle hair clips, so we have ordered a new shipment that will be here just in time for Valentines day and any special birthdays you may have coming up.

Come by Beansprouts near the end of the month and find your favourite. 

see you soon.
