Simply genius: Eletent

It's a bursing bib, no.
It's a carriage cover, no.
It's BOTH, it's Eletent!

I saw this at the Encinitas Street Fair, there were so many vendors and things to see! If I wasn't absolutely starving I would have explored the product more. Check out the website, it's so cute. I love simple creations with a creative twist.

Spring into fun community recitals


Pamper Me Fabulous was absolutely amazing. The pics are posted on our Facebook page, check them out! 

We had such a wonderful spot to recieve all our customers and supporters, and it's been our most successful event yet. Thank you to everyone who purchased a pair during spring. Your contribution is one small gift to the hard working men and women helping survivors of this year's many earthquakes.        

While many are working abroad to improve the dire traumas abroad, there are lots of students in school and preparing well for the close of a school season. It's been YEARS since my dance recital at Lana's Dance Studio in Morgan Hill. I remember all those days where you every class was focused – striving, achieving, and hoping – when your kicks and smiles pay off in a single moment on stage when all eyes are on you. Then in an instant, the motion seems to last forever in its perfection as you move through it exactly as you had imagined your body to. Remember that climactic feeling of accomplishment?
I have 2 nieces who both dance ballet. Kim (pictured previously) will be dancing soon at the OC Song and Dance Company, I can't wait to see what dress she will wear. Tiana, who's a bit older, will most likely be competing on her team in a fancy number. More details and photos on both very soon. It will be great to attend both their events in the LA/OC area. Gathering with other parents and kids really brings the sense of community into your very being....

We've got lots of fantastic community events and non-profits to support going into summer:
The UNMasquerade on May 8th and The O.C. Baby & Toddler's Fair on May 22, 2010. In addition there are sloughs of non-profit fundraisers and events out there, please send any others you know of that we can help sponsor.


Enjoy the days and don't forget to check out our facebook photos.

Pamper Me Fabulous Giveaway!

New flowers in bloom, skies sunnier by the moment, classes in full session, and tons more happening with the team.

After coming back from Dance Retailer News Expo in Las Vegas, we all came back from a great experience meeting people in the industry. We had been so focused meeting parents and our customers that it was great to meet fellow business owners as well. Surprisingly there were lots of retailers from Canada, very cool!

Now we're busy preparing for Pamper Me Fabulous on March 28th, not to mention our wonderful giveaway for 2 free tickets (worth $100 EACH)  to the event! Tell us "What it Means to Be a Ballerinie" in your own words for your chance to win a spa day for you and your girlfriend. We've already received one submission, yay!

Sharon Koay says "To my daughter, Siena, being a ballerinie means being a perfect ballerina with pretty pointy toes when she wears her ballerinies and her pink tutu twirling and doing her curtsies."

Thanks Sharon!!
