January 25 2010 – Vacaville, CA: Hair Clips for Haiti has been created to help raise funds for the Haitian relief effort by No Slippy Hair Clippy®, a premier children’s hair accessory company. No Slippy’s President Annie Salyer has been profoundly moved by this disaster, and is convinced that small business owners have a vital role to play in its outcome.

“Small business can make a big difference,” she states, “If we pull together and each contribute what we can, I think we’ll create something really powerful.”

Still a child, not yet a young woman – those awkward tween years are momentous for girls. Their personalities are maturing along with their bodies. Their sense of style is influenced by the media, the Internet, celebrities and peers. Pivotal changes in tweenagers are reflected in their speech, actions, hobbies and clothing choices. There are several terrific fashion brands who recognize that tweens are growing up, and emphasize designs with an age-appropriate balance. JK Tees, Havengirl, T2Love and Claesen’s USA do a great job celebrating young tween spirits with their fashion collections.

Julie Barger isn’t your run of-the-mill mama; she’s a creative mastermind! As the stay-at-home mother of two little girls, she spent her days in search of ways to let her creative mind thrive, while tackling day-to-day parenting tasks. Knowing how competitive schoolyard fashion can be, Barger sought fresh and exciting ideas to keep her girls ahead of the trends without breaking the bank. She began by applying recycled and vintage materials to her girls’ jeans for a truly cutting-edge look. Her creations were soon the envy of the schoolyard, which encouraged her to take the next step.

This new year is really turning out extremely well! We’ve been a bunch of busy bees with so many orders, have been up-and-about to prepare for the Boom Boom Room 2010 in LA, plus we’ve also been getting one fabulous review after the other! Like this new one from dear mommy blogger Margaret of Creative Madness. She says:

Celebrities have been known to choose very… err… QUIRKY names for their babies. (Jermajesty, anyone?) But recently, there are some stars who got really creative and thought up lovely names for their little ones. A little less quirky, but still very unique! Celebrity Baby Blog compiled their 2009 Celebrity Baby Names Roundup and here are some of my favorites:

Most Common Names

GIRLS: Rose
Seraphina Rose Elizabeth (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner)
Myla Rose (Roger Federer)
Lyla Rose (Lisa Loeb)

I don’t know about you, but I simply love it when a guy openly and confidently admits that a girl has made him weak-kneed. Especially if the guy is a well-known, in-demand brilliant actor, like Jude Law. And I think the girl he’s talking about has an extra special place in his heart.

The Chicago Market’s Living and Giving Show, January 21st – 27th, is set to showcase the latest in children’s fashion and innovative children’s products. The show will also feature a variety of free seminars on current business topics ranging from strategies for growth to incorporating Fair Trade products in retail. In anticipation of a great show, The Giggle Guide® would like to shine the limelight on products from Folkmanis, Bitty Block, Sophie the Giraffe, and Lifefactory.

Recently we got a lovely one from lovely mom Christine of theiemommy.com. She tried out No Slippy Hair Clippy’s Salena Monogrammed Fabric Button Hair Clips on her equally lovely twin girls. Here’s an excerpt of what she thought of the clips:

We’re counting down the days to Boom Boom Room 2010 in LA and we cannot possibly be more excited! Here is a “snap shot” of what it will be like this year.

So here is the first painting of Hawk for 2010 which is available still in the shop…for now.
Klause the mouse is a busy body that knows just about everything that goes on in the house where Hawk lives. His mouse house is located in the back mudroom of the house where new critters that enter get questioned. Hawk visits him daily to get the house news. Super cute!

Below are a few more paintings that are available to buy at ART251.
