Green Exposure in Central, Illinois 

 

 

Come in to the shop!

We would love to have you join us for our Post-Holiday Open House.  We are celebrating the start of our 3rd year in business.  The day will include refreshments, sales, and clearance.  We have also invited our original, signature ladybug and bee chocolates back for the day.  

New products will be on display that you just need to see, touch, and feel including the Minkee Blueberry Diapers, Lacey Butts by Dry Bees, and LoveyBums Wool Crepe Covers and Wool-in-Ones. Other new products you may be interested in would be the New BumGenius and Fuzzibunz releases, the New Thirsties AIO, and a new One-Size pocket by Swaddlebees.

 

Come meet others in central Illinois and across the state that enjoy cloth diapering as much as you.

 

 

Incoming Product Updates 

Ok, I will try to remember all the new, improved, and otherwise products that you will want to know are joining the shop.  I am looking forward to having my intern.  It will take some time for the new products to be added to the web especially with graphics, so if you are really eager feel free to contact us and see if you can get your hearts desired diaper before we get it onto the website.

 

Blueberry Diapers: The order was placed today for these diapers.  We will work to keep the one-size minkee's in-stock.  All of the other designs and styles of the Blueberry diapers are available for dropship.  Meaning when you order it ships directly to you from the manufacturer.  We feel honored to carry this product, only 6 US retailers were asked to participate.

SuperBrights by Bummis: These new covers from Bummis have arrived and are in the shop.  Still in the box; we are looking for a place for them to fit.  These prints seem to be a hit with those visiting the showroom this last week.

LoveyBums Wool: The order has been placed.  We got samples in for the TV filming on Monday and these covers are absolutely fabulous.  We will work to keep covers in-stock in each size.  We will also keep some of the Wool-in-ones available in-stock, but they can also be special ordered.  This is a product line that will only be available in the physical shop due to vendor agreements.

FuzziBunz Pocket Diapers: The new style should be arriving this coming week.  Tracking numbers were sent yesterday by email.  We ordered a full stock of these.  Sizes that are missing in the new production are the Newborn and the Petites.

BumGenius 3.0 One-Size Diapers: These diapers have come in and are being well received.  I didn't know what they would do to improve this diaper, but they definitely have added more value to it. 

DryBees Lacybutts: These diapers are on order and will be perfect for little girl babies this Spring Easter.  The first order had limited availability but we plan to keep this delightful diaper in-stock continually. 

DryBees Fleece Pockets: These diapers are also on order and will be added to the line of diapers that I feel are an excellent choice for night diapering.  This diaper paired with the DryBees One-Size insert make quite the night diaper. 

DryBees Bamboo One-Size Fitted: These one-size fitted diapers are soo soft, trim, and highly absorbent.  This diaper made of highly-sustainable fabric is one of the best fitteds for air drying. 

DryBees Pockets/AIO: A limited variety of the Pockets and AIO's are on order.  This diaper will be joining the showroom mostly for its prints.  The DryBees prints are made of polyester outers and thus provide better protection than the Happy Heiny prints that we will be discontinuing.  

Swaddlebees One-Size Pocket Diaper: This diaper will be releasing soon.  We will carry a small collection of these diapers since they will allow parents to have the convenience and cost savings of a one-size while still maintaining a cotton organic fabric next to babies delicate skin. 

Wahmies Bags: Standard Wet Bags and a few Pail Liners will be arriving at the shop.  We will be evaluating how well these products sell to see if we want to carry them full time.

Thirsties AIO Diaper: This diapers release was postponed a week and is due to release this coming Friday.  I am sure we will carry this product since everything from Thirsties thus far has been quite pleasing.

Starbunz SuperUndies: These long anticipated trainers are an upgrade from the Learners.  They are now in the showroom with more arriving this next Friday.  Already a big hit with the young ones.

Blueberry Minkee Trainers: Beautiful day training pants that your child will want to keep clean.  Available in all the same prints as the Minkee diapers.  We will have the most popular prints in-stock with the others available for drop shipping.

 

A Spotlight on Sarah of PinStripes and PolkaDots

 

 

Here is an official announcement to all of you in diaper land.  I, Sarah, am expecting my 3rd child in June of 2008.  We are planning our 2nd homebirth with the midwifery group we used 4 years ago with our 2nd child's birth. 

 

So, I am now in an expanding state with memory issues induced by pregnancy.
