Celebrate your Family for the Holidays

Shannon Sunderlands of Hot Mama Designs creates beautiful customized necklaces and bracelets for moms from her cute little backyard studio. When she isn't creating adornments, she is loving & playing with her new six month old baby.

To help Shannon spend more time with her family right before the holidays, we are offering a free lotus or heart disc with purchase as an incentive to order early (by November 16th). We have samples in the boutique if you live close by. If you are ordering online, email us first and mention this blog.

Order online, or shop@childhoodbliss.com, or by the old fashioned telephone 1.877.372.baby, or stop on in! Yes, before you know it, the holidays will be here :-) ~Julie

October & Pumpkin Spice!

October brings orange leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and little goblins. I enjoy October at Childhood Bliss because it means a fun new window display (Where the Wild Things Are theme), the completion of our fall 2009 clothing deliveries, and saying goodbye to what's left on sale from the previous season.

This October has been especially exciting, as we have decided to carry Ergo baby carriers. Over the past year we have had many customers rave about the carriers and requests for us to carry Ergo. What we heard most is that the Ergo is the only baby carrier you have to buy as it accommodates newborn to 40 lbs and can be worn on the front, back, and hip.

New Designers this fall: Kicky Pants (bamboo), Keedo (boy), Precious Few on Earth (organic), Leg Ruffles (so cute and flying out the door) , Laughing Out Loud (girls size 4-10), ZaZa Couture (girls size 4-6), Limeapple (girls size 4-10), and LuCoo (mod design t's for babies).

Hey Santa's helpers...Our fall order of Plan Toys is in-stock, along with new Automoblox styles, Sprig Toys (new line - made with recycle wood shavings!), and Penelope Peapods dolls (another new line for us!).

Looking for a deal? We have just marked all sale clothing off from 40% to 60%. Mention the Bliss Blog (email before you order), and we will even throw in free shipping (sale clothing only).

Shop Now! Let us know if you have any questions or special request. AND...please e-mail us pics of your adorable little goblins in Childhood Bliss finery! We would love to share these on our facebook fanpage. ~Julie

What's the Buzz? Your Baby Is As Cute As A Bug at Childhood Bliss!

Childhood Bliss recently discovered these Noo Sets and of course, we couldn't resist them!
Dress your little darling as a cute little bug! Packaged in a matching pouch and ready for gift-giving, each 4-piece set includes lap shouldered t-shirt, pants, booties and adorable hat. Made of soft, water washed cotton knit, choose either an adorable ladybug or a sweet-as-honey bumblebee. Ideal for baby showers, newborns and 1st birthdays. They are the perfect choice for that first Halloween costume too!

Petunia Pickle Bottom Fabulous Fall 2009 Styles are Here!

Childhood Bliss is blissfully pleased with the new Fall 2009 Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags, slings, blankets, and organic clothing. How can they outdo themselves each season? The new diaper bags include their signature brocade fabrics--a rich satin luster that is saturated with colors! New brocade fabrics include the Winterberry Roll, Calypso Roll, Tandoori Spice Roll, Chantilly roll, Blue Curacao Roll, Black Orchid Roll, Indigo Roll, and Midnight Iris Roll.

Many of the new Fall 2009 Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags also have coordinating slings and blankets too! Check out the new Petunia Pickle Bottom Organic Stroller Blanket in five earth-friendly patterns.

If you love the glazed line, Petunia's wipe-able, water-repellent matte finish, you won't be disappointed by this season's selection! Dancing in Dublin is amazing....as well as all of the other choices, including Rhone Blooms, Tranquil Tibet, Turkish Twighlight, Morning in Machu Picchu, Misty Shanghai (brought back by popular demand!) Meandering in Marrakech, Strolling in Salzburg, and Granada Nights.

Two new chenille choices in the original Fall 2009 collection are sure to be popular--the Black Currant and the Roseberry.

And if anything could be more decadent than Petunia Pickle Bottom's Cake line, we have yet to see it. The Apple Tart Cake and Chocolate Decadence Cake bags are, well, YUMMY! And the newer richer blue of the French Gooseberry completes the most fabulous colors we at Childhood Bliss could ever imagine. Each color is available in the Cosmopolitan Carryall, the Society Satchel, or the Cameo Clutch.

The Scout collection, with the hearty Rubicon Rucksack and the more compact Journey Pack, looks great in old world leather or post-modern felt. Colors include Brown Buffalo Leather, Black Buffalo Leather, and 3 heathered felt colors.

Petunia Pickle Bottom has certainly made it easy to choose a special organic gift for a special new arrival! Offerings such as the Onesie Gift Set, the Sock Gift Set, and the Swaddling Blanket Gift Set, in artfully packaged gift boxes, come in the most amazing color palettes and patterns for both boys and girls. The new Snuggle Set, a 3 piece set that includes one printed footed long-sleeve romper, one solid knotted knit hat and one printed swaddling blanket, makes an awesome gift.

Petunia Pickle Bottom...Where daring meets darling, and sensible function meets simple elegance. A chic baby collection for savvy Childhood Bliss parents everywhere.

Mim-Pi 2008 Fall Winter Collection is a definite WOW!

Childhood Bliss is super thrilled to offer Mim-Pi designer clothing from the Netherlands. Founder and designer Leonara Nieuwenhuizen believes that girls should wear clothing that inspires dreams and magic. Sweet, girly and fun is the idea behind every collection she designs. All of her unique pieces are a variety of patterns and textures that provide the opportunity for mixing and layering for a unique look that grabs everyone’s attention. Mim-Pi utilizes rich colors, amazing fabric choices, and spares no attention to details, including whimsical applications and embroideries. Last but not least, we found this European designer comparable to those that squeeze the pocket book dry, pleasantly affordable.

The 2008 Fall Winter line of Mim-Pi, offered at Childhood Bliss in sizes 2-8, is without exception their best season ever!

Childhood Bliss is offering our customers free U.S. shipping with the purchase of 3 or more Mim-Pi pieces. Check-out will show shipping charges but please disregard this when taking advantage of this offer. We will deduct the shipping charge and email you with an adjusted total.
