Imps & Elfs for our little ones

Julia, the designer and new mom behind Lola & Lucas, came in to see the new Imps & Elfs collection and I loved her story. She is a die hard fan, and mentioned that it was one of the lines that inspired her to create her own company. She searches it out every year on her travels to New York and Europe. I love that we're on the same wave length!

The baby line (3-12 months) is a mix and match collection of the softest cottons and natural fibres you'll find. The fact that it's organic doesn't hurt, and responsibly made is even better. The best part though is that with a few pieces you can create a whole little look that's soft and practical for baby - and simply mouthwatering for all of us parents admiring your little one! It's also a great item for registry as we have lots of sizes right now, and this line translates beautifully into spring and summer.

Call with any questions or for size information - these are just a few of the pieces - ranging from 14.99 up to 74.99 for the special little wool pieces.

See you soon!

Spring for Layers

Layering is a great way to pull our kids clothes through several seasons. Mix in a few new pieces and you've got something fresh and fun. I was inspired today after a little walk along the river, and came back and played with some of the ways you could put it together. We have some great pieces on sale (up to 50% off) and spring arrivals to mix in.

For the boys - Joe's Jeans (sale $89.95), Ben Sherman T (sale $19.95), organic velour zip up (sale $34.95) and striped Kangol hat (34.95).

For the girls: New spring Imps & Elfs organic sweater ($74.95), striped long sleeve ($39.95), legging ($29.95) and skirt ($64.95). These are some great colors - bright but not too shocking - that are perfect mixed up with basics! I couldn't resist showing the new pieces together but they look fantastic with the Dagmar Daley chunky grey sweater and Lola & Lucas leggings.

So - have fun this spring - and look around for inspiration and things that make you happy. For me it's little things like the perfect shafe of cupcake frosting, a hair band or hat in a great fabric, or a clean floor with no dog hair!!!!!

Have a great week everyone -

Hi everyone. Sorry for the long delay in blog posting! I love writing, and sharing ideas, and chatting about our kids, and great new stuff, and hearing your comments - I miss it! - but it has been a challenging time personally and I have been focusing inwards to get through this stretch.

I was really sad when Sarah decided to leave Chick Pea so suddenly last year. I love her dearly and wish her well in all her future endeavors - and cherish the time we did get to work together.

I'm now solo and excited to set a course for growth at the shop, keeping the same spirit and heart that has defined Chick Pea and made it such a special haven. There's nothing better than a new mom chatting away about her new little one, excited grandmas and nanas finding the perfect little gift, and sharing in the growth and development of all our families.

So - I want to send out a huge welcome to everyone and encourage you to drop in to see some of the great new (and favorite!) lines in the store this spring. Trina Schoenit and her mom Cindy have become a huge part of the shop, and I want to congratulate Trina in taking on a role as Store Manager this last week. She has such a warm and loving spirit - and a sense for style that I adore - if you haven't met her already! Trina is in Thursday-Saturday and Cindy is here on Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm in the store on Tuesdays.

We look forward to seeing you!!!

Kim
