December is Snowing Savings! 

I don't think we have had a December in the diaper business that has left us with so much on sale.  Trying to keep up with everything is quite a task.  So here is the short list:

The Fuzzi Bunz Pocket Diapers and the BumGenius One-size are coming out with new releases this month.  So stay tuned for special announcements that will keep you up to date on the new features.  The Thirsties products are on sale from the vendor only until December 21st in an effort to reduce inventory before the big counting day for taxes.

Holiday Hours a Different Twist at PSPD 

During the month of December the shop has been implementing Holiday Hours to give our family time to enjoy the season. Orders are still accepted online throughout the week. However, orders are limited to shipping or local pick up on Mondays throughout the month.  Of course, Monday, December 24th we will not be conducting business since this is a traditional family holiday.

Save the Date for a Post-Holiday Open House 

Save the date for January 19th, 2008 as PinStripes and PolkaDots will be hosting a post-holiday open house from 1-4 pm.  Several Cloth Diapering Mommas from across the state have already decided that they would like to meet-up in Bloomington and visit the shop while in-town.  Please come join us for this event.  

Special promotions and holiday treats will help us launch our 4th year into the business.  We also have every intention of bringing back the specialty German chocolates that inspired our store name for this event.  Come to visit and socialize.  Bring a friend for a non-pushy way to introduce them to the world of cloth diapering.

Considering a Few New Products for the Coming Year!

Here are some products to be looking for in the weeks and months ahead.  Some like the Superbrights are already on order.

	Rumpsters Newly Redesigned AIO Diapers and a One-Size: samples have been ordered and we will be evaluating them for the shop.
	Blueberry Diapers: we are just waiting to place our order for these super-gorgulous diapers. Yes, "gorgulous" is a made up childhood word that means its more gorgeous than gorgeous.
	SuperBrights by Bummis: Cute whimsical covers that are way overdue for arrival.  I guess they will get here when they do.
	LoveyBums Wool: T-shirt soft like you have never known wool.  This product is on our serious consideration list.  The downside is this product could not be sold online only in our physical shop.
	FuzziBunz Pocket Diapers: Newly redesigned and made in the USA this long time standard is a given.
	BumGenius 3.0 One-Size Diapers: Newly redesigned  and already on order this most popular diaper should be available this coming week.

A Spotlight on the coming Semester     PinStripes and PolkaDots is thoroughly excited to be mentoring and ISU student this coming semester through a university internship program.  Kristin is an Apparel Merchandising and Design major at ISU.  She is very interested in learning about the in's and out's of small business.       Kristin will be diving in to things quickly in January as she has agreed to help me host our post-holiday open house on January 19th, 2007.
