...but here at Bella & Boo things are so delightful! 

I have several new products to tell you about that will keep your little ones warm and toasty on these cold January days.

I've partnered with a great company called Midori Bamboo who makes the most beautiful and luxuriously soft bamboo blankets with satin trim.  These are the SOFTEST and sweetest blankets I have ever touched.  They have quickly become a favorite in our family.  Who knew Bamboo could be so incredibly soft?


Just in time for those cold winter days are these wonderful infant gowns by Kate Quinn.  They have the cutest handmitts sewn in to protect baby and keep her little hands warm.  These 100% organic cotton gowns make diaper changing a snap (and we know how many diapers one can go through during those first few months!).  Available in the brightest and coolest colors, you can shop with confidence knowing that you are getting a top quality product that is pure and safe for your family.



Another new product we're carrying is organic denim jeans for older babies, sizes 12-18 mo and 18-24 mo.  These jeans are eco-friendly, hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin because they are made from 50% bamboo and 50% organic cotton, by Midori Bamboo.  We are also carrying bibs from Midori in our Gear section that come in three different colors.  These bibs are super soft and machine washable.



Here at Bella & Boo our heart goes out to those in Haiti who are dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake that hit the region earlier this week. 5% of every sale in January will be donated to the Red Cross to provide humanitarian relief to those in need. 

Peace,

Kate

The thermometer outside my window reads 2 degrees! 

2010 has sure come in with a bang.  Here at Bella & Boo we have the perfect blanket to keep your little one toasty warm this winter.  We carry a super soft organic fleece blanket with a silk ruffle trim from a company called Robbie Adrian.  These blankets are not only beautiful, they are perfect for snuggling up with your baby or toddler while rocking, reading a story or tucking them in bed.

One of the reasons I decided to carry these blankets in my shop, besides the fact that the organic fleece they use is high quality and made in the USA, is because of the gorgeous silk ruffle trim that each blanket has. I remember when I was a little girl, my favorite blanket of all time was one with white satin trim, because I loved to rub the soft satin between my fingers. It was soothing and comforting to me. I think many children love the feel of soft fabric or satin between their fingers.  With these gorgeous blankets, instead of polyester "satin," the ruffle trim is 100% SILK.  What could be better than that? 

The funny thing is I see the same "blankie love" in my own children.  My 2 year old has a favorite blanket that she insists on sleeping on top of each night (but leaving a corner untucked so that she can hold it between her fingers).  My six year old still has her favorite blanket with the satin trim that she too sleeps with every night. (shhhhh...she'd kill me if she knew this got out).  ;)

Our Organic Fleece & Silk Blankets come in two sizes and are in stock and ready to ship today:  a large 31"x37" size and a small 10"x12" "lovie" size.  You can seem them both at http://bellaandboo.com/_catalog_77367/Bedding


From all of us at Bella & Boo, Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with love, peace and happiness.

Stay Warm!
