I have a few store updates I would like to share.... we now carry an adorable dark brown Monkey lovie, softie, blanket from Angel Dear by Funbath. This is a sweet addition to our very popular collection of these super soft washable baby blankets.

We have just added some Spring 2007 Daily Tea from Tea Collection. We have a few basic pieces that should tie in well with our expected Summer 2007 delivery (arriving next month). The 2007 Tea Collection is inspired by Turkey. Each year Tea picks a new country for inspiration for its prints and styling. I love to see what they come up with! This year Tea is using "traditional royal styling, the ornate colors of Iznik tiles and Moorish motifs."

Buying and Giving Baby and Toddler Clothes

By: Olivia Street

I have two small daughters ages three and five. When my oldest was born I had no experience with babies, especially buying clothes. Looking back to the early days of baby shopping I definitely would have done things differently!

I ended up with a mountain of baby clothes. Sometimes my daughter would wear an outfit one, or not at all. Most outfits from my baby shower were newborn size 0-3 months. That is only three months of her life! Can you imaging replacing your wardrobe every three months? Wow. Spacing out the clothes sizes and limiting the number would have been wise. Buying clothes a little big (except sleepwear) is a good idea. Too big never hurts, but too small is useless. My family still insists on buying clothes to match my daughters’ ages. Well, this hasn’t worked for my five-year-old since she was three and decided to be extremely long. And, let’s just say my three-year-old was 9 pound 7 ounces at birth and has been off the height and weight curve ever since! No newborn clothes for her; she jumped right into 3-6 months.

I received the most beautiful, impractical gifts baby. Sweet outfits with dozens of tiny buttons that I wouldn’t dream of opening and closing eight or so times a day at diaper changing time, and “hand wash only” items! My time consumed by laundry was bad enough without having to hand wash! Those great gifts were quickly listed on EBay. Another good tip would be all cotton, or mostly cotton items. Babies have super sensitive skin and some synthetic fabrics irritate!

An important lessen I learned is that no two toddler body shapes are the same. I assumed I would be able to re-use my older daughter’s clothes. Not so! Even if I was lucky enough to have the seasons and sizes align, their shapes require different clothes. My five-year-old is long and slim and so we enjoyed dressing her in flare jeans and slim fit tops. My three-year-old needs a regular fit jean. I thought regular fit was the standard size until she didn’t fit in any of our clothing stash. Children’s clothes today are often slim cut and have (almost) adult styling, unfortunately. I say, let kids be kids and stop dressing them as little adults! They will be adults long than they will be children, what’s the rush? Selecting the right clothes for your child sometimes means just finding a brand with the right, consistent cut. I love tea Collection for both my daughters. I know they will fit both, every time and the styling is modern but not garish. This is a personal decision that can only be made through trial and error.

One final thought: if you buy clothes in basic, solid colors you can save a lot of money by mixing outfits. Buy a few accent pieces with nice colors, prints, etc. and mix and match. Most brands present their seasonal collections with this idea in mind so it is relatively easy to shop.

I have just received new Cakewalk baby and toddler clothes from the Netherlands designers. They are soft cotton with fun prints. The little boys clothes have a cowboy theme and the girls have a fun pink and orange print. We hope that these clothes will be a good fit for our store. Cakewalk has a great reputation and a strong following. Their clothes designs are innovative and fresh! We chose clothes with a nice price point to see how our customers repond. We are hoping for feedback on this brand so that we can decide how much to order from the Spring line.

Adam's Unique Boutique has put many Tea Collection items on Clearance SALE! Unfortunately, we find ourselves competing with the manufacturer for web sales now that they have opened a webstore at Tea. We are unhappy with the current competitive situation but our customers are benefiting from the sale prices we now have on our new 2006 Tea merchandise!

Fall and Winter items are now on clearance sale as we prepare to receive more summer arrivals!

Adam's Unique Boutique has received new Angel Dear by Funbath softies blanket styles and they are very popular. We have added the striped Tiger, Lion and Pink Lamb to our super soft collection.

Selecting these great clothes has been a lot of fun.
I have two young daughters myself, so I shop from experience. I know that young children like to dress themselves and need comfortable clothes for every day wear. I also know what fun it is to dress your children up in new fashions and dress clothes! I do try to shop for various tastes, occassions and locations. Our store tries to stock both conservative and cutting edge clothing.
Our store carries great little boys clothes. I have heard many complaints about how difficult it is to find good boys clothes with a choice of styles. We have found E. Land Kids, Tea and Zutano to all have great little boys / infant boys clothes.

The pieces mix and match within each season, and sometimes season to season. The clothes are cotton. They are easy to pull up or on for toddlers learning to dress themselves! In Spring 2006 Tea introduced infant Daily Tea with great stripes and prints for babies.
