Happy Holidays from Bella Babies!

This year has flown by, I can hardly believe it is Christmas time again! Bella Babies has been busy getting all the Christmas gear up on the website and I can finally say it is done. Check out our Christmas selection here and while you are at it you will notice the new website style. I was getting bored with the old look and decided to do a revamp. I think that it is easier to navigate for shopping and it is just fun to have a fresh new look!

This weekend Bella Babies will be attending the 2nd Mommy Fair at the Auburn Bay Club in SW Calgary, if you live in the area be sure to stop by and check out all the great sales for moms and babies. And be sure to stop by my booth to say hello!

As Christmas season is upon us I wanted to extend a Christmas sale for the month of November for those of you wanting to get a head start on your holiday shopping! For the rest of the month I will be offering 20% off any online order over $20! At checkout just insert coupon code: BBC2008. Pass along the coupon code to all your friends so they too can receive this great deal!

Please keep in mind that in order to receive your orders for Christmas they will need to be in by December 10th for delivery and December 18th for pick up.

Be sure to check out our facebook page here and become a fan! In the new year I will be starting special draws and giveaways exclusively for my facebook fans, so keep checking back!

Mark your calendar!

Saturday November 15th 2008 10am-2pm

See you there!

October Special

This month is a busy one, I will be in and out of town and as such not always available to take orders. I will not be doing any Halloween bows this year as I am finding I just don't have the time! So for this month my special will be 10 days long (the week I will for sure be around) Starting next Monday, Oct. 6th until Thursday Oct. 16th every order placed will be receiving a special hair accessory from my exclusive fall collection. These are not offered on our website for purchase! No need for a coupon code, all you have to do is place an order of any size! Cheers :o)

Back to School!

I know we are a company mainly for babies but we have a lot of people who have been ordering clippies to go with school uniforms or their new back to school outfits. So for this week I am offering a discount for all those people who are trying to get their back to school shopping done! (The discount only applies to orders of $20 or more.)

To redeem your coupon log onto www.bellababies.ca and shop online. In the checkout enter promo code: backtoschool

Tell all your friends! This code can be used as many times as you like up until September 2nd only.

**August Special**

For the month of August only, I will be offering a 30% discount for all the crochet beanies and the big girl headbands (these are the hard plastic type.) Please email me info@bellababies.ca if you would like to place an order!

New prints!

I just ordered these new ribbons in 7/8" and am so excited about them. Blue and Pink paisley. Could they be any cuter? What do you think? I just wanted to give a little sneak a peek to tease you!

I also have this 3/8" ribbon in stock but it is not yet on the website. I can do orders with it in any style! Classic brown and pink that everyone loves!

Also watch out for DEMIN! I have had a few requests for denim so I finally have it in stock. Both 7/8" and 3/8" ribbon. So versatile and you don't have to get her all dressed up for an excuse to wear a bow!

Moving on

Well my "business parter", Estelle, has decided to move on from Bella Babies. Since she is expecting a new baby in the fall and with the move to The US she is having a hard time keeping up and with all that is happening up here. I am sad to have her go, she has been a good partner and will always be a good friend. We had a fun time starting this business together, doing baby fairs and brainstorming new ideas. Good luck Estelle in Utah and with the new baby! You will be missed!

Mia Baby

I have decided that for the next baby shower I throw for someone I am definately inviting these guys! Mia Baby is the company that just put on the Mommy Fair that I attended recently. What they do is home parties that showcase cute and trendy baby items that are hard to find! Of course I am even more excited that they asked Bella Babies to showcase some products at their parties! The Mia Baby girls are so fun, a couple young mom's like myself who like to get out there and meet other mom's and share great baby ideas! So if you need a great idea for your next baby shower, call them up, they would love to come! (and even better that that new mom in your life can chose exactly what she needs!)

And the winner is...

Thank you to all of you who stopped by my booth at the Mommy Fair last Saturday. I had a lot of fun being there and checking out the other great products there that day! I have never been to the New Brighton club before and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful atmosphere!

Congratulations to Allison who was the door prize winner of our $50 shopping spree!

We are excited to have signed up a new Hair Salon in Okotoks who we met at the fair on Saturday. Sugar Salon & Aesthetics is a high end Salon owned by Jody Swift who by the way is an amazing woman! She is one of those women who just make you wonder "How does she do it" She has so much going on between business and hobbies but still manages to be a great mom to her two little boys. The salon has a free babysitting service every Monday for those mom's who have a hard time getting away for some time to themselves! You should see some of our hair accessories there shortly!

Come see us!

Lots of product for sale as well as a door prize draw you wont want to miss!!!

Busy busy

It's been a busy year so far. If you haven't already checked out the shopping section on our website, take a look at our new additions! We've gotten some new colors of ribbon to go with the new clip we call the "petite bow" because it is so sweet and petite! You'll love all the new spring colors as well as our tried and true ribbon favorites!

Petite Bow

We've also added a small selection of pacifier clips. We want to see how much demand there is for this product before we get to crazy with fancy embellishments and personalization options. Let us know what you think!

Pacifier clip

In Bella Babies news, we're going to be expanding the website to have a Canadian and US side to it. Estelle will be moving to Utah in the fall after some traveling this summer and will carry on with the US business there. Laura will be staying in Calgary and taking care of all our Canadian customers here! As always any orders in the Calgary area have the pick up option.

Also just a reminder if you would like to add to our photo gallery page, send in photographs of your little cuties wearing our stuff!

We hope you all had a fabulous Easter weekend last, and take care until next time!
