Huge Shop Update and This Weeks Contest!!
July 1st, 2008 8:47 am by Naomi in Day to Day at Glitter
I am sifting and sorting through all my inventory and just did a HUGE SHOP UPDATE! You can go HERE to see all the newest July goods. While you are there, make sure to browse through the other products since I have been adding things here and there and not always posting about it.
Quite a few of my products have a storybook theme, or bit of whimsy. By far, the most popular storybook character I carry is Lowly the Worm. At every show I do people come up to me and say ‘ oh! I remember THIS’ or ‘what is his name again’. My favorite is when they are digging through a huge bowl of random pins and ask me if I have ‘one with that worm from those books’ on it. Hmmmm… well, I do, but you’ve gotta dig yourself! I do have pin packs with Lowly too, so that has helped those Richard Scarry fans!!
My favorite thing about Lowly is his shoe. I remember the books from childhood and my girls used to watch Busy Town videos ALL the time when they were little. The songs still ring through my head. I actually think we still have a lot of them so Henri can experience Busy Town too! Darby is excited to get out all the videos again. She didn’t know I heard her, but I overheard her telling Zoe that the Spot videos were always her favorite… hehe…
Here’s to you, Mr. Lowly Worm
My personal favorite would probably have to be Alice in Wonderland. I have always adored Alice and all her various adventures. I’m not sure what it is about Wonderland, but it really does remind me of my surreal life sometimes.
SO for this weeks contest, I’m keeping it easy. All you have to do is leave a comment with your favorite storybook or storybook character! Also, any orders from this shop or my Etsy shop will also be automatically entered. This weeks prize is extra fun.
A Frutex hedgie Tote!! I am still clearing out some of my Decole and Cram Cream inventory and thought as a July treat to my loyal friends and blog readers I will share the cuteness! There will probably be some extra little goodies in there as well. AND, who knows… perhaps I am clearing out some of the old to make room for new?? Hmmmmm…. guess you will have to check back…..
One last thing for today. In baby news, I crocheted my first hat yesterday. Normally I knit all my hats and most of my designs I don’t know if I would be able to figure out how to do in crochet (such as cat hats… which I will be stocking up soon!), but I thought I would try a little gnome hat. I have a little stack of organic cotton yarns that I have been deciding what to do with, so I whipped up this little guy for Henri.
Of course, knowing the size of his parent’s heads (Jerome and I both have big heads, we think), it may not fit him, even at birth, but for my sake, let’s keep our fingers crossed that it does.
xx’s and oo’s.

My favorite story book character is Harry the Cat (by Mary Chalmers). Harry was sorta naughty, but good-hearted. Mary Chalmers wrote a series of Harry the Cat books. My favorite was Come to the Doctor, Harry when I was little, and I even have two tattoos of Harry–one on each shoulder blade.

I didn’t want to be a contest hog (LOL) considering I just won those adorable charms. Jada already has big plans for them. My favorite story book character growing up was Cinderella.. not sure why, but it was. My aunt used to read it to me over and over when she would babysit my sisters & I. She actually gave me a vintage copy for a wedding shower gift when I got married and to this day it was one of my most cherished gifts. :)
p.s. I looove the little gnome hat for Henri!

When I was a kid, I really liked Quincy (as in the tv show character).
Somehow, I don’t think that qualifies, lol! I was an odd kid, what can I say:-)

I don’t really have just one favourite, but I liked Toad from the Frog and Toad books.

I would love the Hedgie Tote! I used to work on the same block as your store & got the cutest felt Nut Nut plush. Hedgie and Nut Nut would make great friends :)

So I know you get this when you go to the shows, but everyone loves your storybook bracelets. It’s fun to stand here at the cash register and listen to their exclamations and have long conversations about who drove the pickle car.
And p.s. your tile coasters have been VERY popular this art fair weekend.
And I know I’m too late to enter the contest but my email feels out of place if I don’t say.. my favorite storybook characters were the big hippos George and Martha.
