Exciting News!
carseats and at last we have found one! So we officially can sell used carseats.
Bring them on in we just ask that the expiration date is still valid, the seat is in perfect
working condition, no twisted straps and all pieces and the manual is included.
The carseat must not have been recalled nor ever been in an accident, and is also very clean.
We will be checking for recalls and all the specs.
If we get overwhelmed with the amount we are getting in we may take names down for a waitlist as most of you know our storage space is limited.
Remember items priced at higher than $40.00 you get 60% of the sale.
Right now all Blue Tags in store are 25% off and the Pink Tags are 50% off.
If you are needing a swing or excersaucer we have many in to choose from.
We also have tonnes of used baby carriers, such as the popular Baby Bjorn, Hotsling, Peanut Shell, Mei Tei and many more. And we have a MEC HappyTrails back pack listed in perfect condition for $74.98

To Trick or Treat?
next week, here's a great idea some family friends shared with us.
They allow their kids to Trick and Treat as much as they want and when the candy arrives home
they buy the candy from the kids and the money goes towards a new toy instead.
Pretty great idea!
So have a ultra spooky and safe Halloween!
The store will be closed at 4:00 pm so we can have fun too!

Imaginative Natural Play
Toys that can be turned into many things facilitate abstract thinking. For example, Cloths and silks can be turned into capes, aprons and rivers. Dolls with simple features allow the child to decide if the baby is laughing, crying or sleeping.

Giving Thanks
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people
who bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Comox Valley Echo Today!
Green moms find their niche as diapering entrepreneurs
Comox Valley EchoPublished: Friday, September 05, 2008
Two local moms long passionate about making healthy choices for their families have opened up shop in Courtenay with a mind to make going green affordable and accessible for area families.
Offering FREE comprehensive cloth diapering seminars to local parents with new babies has made their new venture retooling Little Me Consignment into an eco-friendly one-stop baby shop an instant success
Sherry Turnbull, 29, and Kristina Jespersen, 33, took over Little Me at #105-2270 Cliffe Ave in June after long-time owner Dana Watson sold the business to spend more time with her family.
While the consignment portion of the business hasn't changed, Turnbull and Jespersen have empowered parents to think both green and local through the diapers and other new products offered.
They are busy building community and supporting family businesses by carrying a wide range of toys and baby gear in their Made by Mommas section (all Canadian) as well as bringing in the hottest green baby and toddler products including Haba Toys, Barefoot Books, WestCoastBaby and Veggie Shoes, keep things affordable with minimal markups.
Little Me's next diaper workshop is sure to draw a crowd.
Come check out why everyone is buzzing about this diminutive mom-owned consignment store and how easy they've made cloth diapering at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15 or in on Oct. 20.
Updates and more details are available http://www.littlemeconsignment.blogspot.com/

New Choices for Night-Time Diapering
The Bamboozle:
A fitted diaper consisting of 4 layers of bamboo fabric that is fantastically soft and beautiful! You will fall in love with this gorgeous, silky fabric - it's truly is irresistible!
Bamboo is a miraculous and eco-friendly fibre. It is a renewable resource with a very short growth cycle and it is grown without fertilizers or pesticides. In short it is the perfect environmental choice for diapers! Bamboo fibre also absorbs 60% more than cotton and is naturally antibacterial, breathable and cool. This is why the Bamboozle is such a slim fitting and ultra absorbent diaper. It requires less diaper changes, is comfortable for baby and not bulky under clothes! Again a great option for nights paired with a Bummis PUL, Fleece or Wool cover.
So no more disposibles at night!

Happy 1 Month Birthday!
And we are getting lots of great new items in as well.

These diapers will require a cover but it still makes for an economical diaper method as you can Consign them back to us!!! No really they are great diapers, we expect this shipment to arrive just in time for our first diaper workshop at the end of July.
Well thanks again everyone for your support and giving us a first month to be proud of!

~Now I would also like to introduce our newest Made By Mom's Item;
The KASA BAG
Made in Royston, here in the Valley, by talented mom of 2, Sarah Stromquist.
These beautiful children's bags are made from recycled fabrics, some vintage, and some new organic fabrics.
