The fees to stock are $5-10 monthly and you keep all of your profits! You would stock as much or little as you would want to weekly and maintain your little section of the store. If you make anything (knit, crochet, woodwork, art... the possibilities are endless!). I know there are some wonderful people out there!<br /><br />I'm looking into bringing in BabySkates - I'm very excited about this and would like to take some preorders for our first shipment! Preorders will all be 5% off - and you have the option to add engraving to the blades...<br /><br />check out <a href="http://www.babyskates.com/">http://www.babyskates.com</a> for colours and sizes. A little birdy has let me know that there will be skates coming out in a soft pink colour that will raise money for Breast Cancer Research!esteemkidstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829861076888363026.post-73080319478383885772007-06-18T19:18:00.001-07:002007-06-18T19:28:14.902-07:00and we have some perfect gifts in!<br /><br />The Fairy Wings are here and they are gorgeous! 3 different sizes for everyone from babies to adults! We may even have some baby/toddler fairy skirts in next week.....<br /><br />Our shipment of Bod for Bubs should be here ASAP - be the first in Canada to try it out! Created in Australia and based on homeopathic and naturopathic principles, it is super gentle on babies skin!<br /><br />We've also listed the must-have Wipie Couture for both travel and nursery. This is the ULTIMATE shower gift!<br /><br />Coming in July,<br />our Babies and Kool Kids photo contest starts July 1st. We have 2 categories- one for Powell River Residents and one for Everyone Else! Enter your photo throughout the month of July and then have everyone you know vote from August 1st-15th!esteemkidstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829861076888363026.post-34285360162207332102007-06-13T20:01:00.000-07:002007-06-13T20:06:55.352-07:00Hello everyone - it's been a busy few weeks!<br /><br />We are currently waiting on our new baby product line called "Bod For Bubs".

Here are some great picks for the season-<br /><br />Wondering what to do when your baby spits out their soother in to the sand? <strong>ChuLi BuLie</strong> has a brilliant innovation- the Paci-Bib! The soother attaches by velcro on the bottom of the contoured bib, so when the baby drops it, it doesn't fall to the ground! We have some great boy and girl styles in stock. They are reversible and have great print on one side and soft chenille on the other side<br /><br /><strong>Bumbo</strong>s make a great accessory for a day at the beach or park! With the new tray, you have easy place to feed your baby, and you don't have to worry about it getting wet!<br /><br />We have some summer weight G<strong>robags</strong> in stock- if you have a specific one in mind, let us know- we can special order for you!<br /><br />We have some awesome summer slings from <strong>Continuum-Family</strong>. They are lightweight and great for the water! If you are in to babywearing- these are a must have! They are made to order, so have a peek now so you can have it in time for the hot weather.<br /><br />Want to keep those little legs out of the sun, but don't want the hassle of tights? <strong>Babylegs</strong> are the answer and were picked as CTV's hot picks for spring! We have tons of prints in stock (and yes, there are some great ones for little boys as well!)<br /><br />Keep your little one's head out of the sun with <strong>Portland Beanie Company's</strong> Visor Beanies! 100% cotton and very stylish- for boys and girls from newborn to preteen!<br /><br />Are you expecting and don't want to have to buy a whole new expensive wardrobe for summer? <strong>Bella Band</strong> is the perfect option! You can keep your growing tummy covered and still use last year's tanks and tees (and even shorts too!)<br /><br /><br />Don't forget <strong>Melissa and Doug's</strong> wooden toys for outdoor play! At Esteem Kids you get a voucher for 5% off your next order with a purchase of $50-99, 10% off with a purchase of $100+ and always free shipping on any order of $250+<br /><br />We offer true shipping- so if your shipping/handling turns out less than the quote- we refund the difference!

I've contacted my host to find out what is going on and hopefully they will be up and working again very soon!<br /><br />Sorry for the technical difficulties- if you'd like to see a picture of a particular item, please contact us and I'll email you a copy!esteemkidstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829861076888363026.post-65215072493047812682007-05-05T20:06:00.000-07:002007-05-05T20:14:52.974-07:00Hi everyone! I've been busy working on getting everything up and running this week. Next week I'm going to concentrate on the events calendar, that can help connect families in Powell River with events happening around town. If you know of any events, be it weekly or monthly or a one shot dea, please contact Esteem Kids to get it added!<br /><br />I'm happy to say that we have some more new items from Melissa and Doug on the way that should be arriving by the middle of the month, and our first shipment of Babylegs will be arriving this week. I'm going to be setting up a 'coming soon' category so you can check out what and when new products will be added (it's on my list!).<br /><br />Don't forget to buy or order your summer grobag! It's starting to get too warm to use the 2.0tog, so it's on to the 1.0tog. Grobag also has some travel bags that work in carseats or strollers, which is oh so handy-<br /><br />Thank you everyone for checking out the store- if you suscribe to my blog, you'll get advance notice on sales, and specials for suscribers only!esteemkidstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829861076888363026.post-25954595164030067512007-05-05T14:06:00.001-07:002007-05-05T14:07:03.269-07:00Welcome to our grand opening!
