My sidekick Mom and I attended our first "show" at the Boston Children's Clothing Wholesale building. We went to Church for the 11:00 Mass then headed down the Mass Pike to Rt 95 South (or as we old New Englanders call it 128) to Dedham for our next new adventure. It's funny about these places, people are divided into 2 categories, love that you have an online store, or refuse to deal with you as if I were going to steal all their clothes and disappear into the great espace, never to be found again. Come on ladies and gentlemen, it's about time you embrace this new world where I can serve millions of customers around the world, and not be dependent on the weather or other forces to get customers to come to your door! What we did find, were people who really want us to sell their products, and offer whatever support they could provide. We met with 4 different Manufacturers Reps, each of whom carry multiple designers. We were there to choose our fall/winter clothes. So here we are in March and Mom is worried that these won't be delivered until August. I had to remind her that we were ordering a season ahead, that we haven't even hit spring yet! It can get very confusing!! Anyway, one of the things I like best about these meetings is that I get to see the beautiful new styles for the winter holidays, and boy, did we find some special items!! As we become more experienced at putting together a nice mix for the Boutique, I become more daring!! No Garanimals here!!
Our new collections has flowing chiffon and soft velvet. The Tutu outfits are just crazy, and I bought the entire line!! We picked up some bohemian clothing from Mimi and Maggie that will look stunning at her ski vacation, or to spice up the dull days of January! I am so excited about everything we have picked out, and can't wait for delivery...however I don't want to rush spring or summer!!So back to the hats...Jamie Rae has sent me a large shipment of some of the cutest hats, headbands, summer cotton brimmed hats all adorned with flowers or feathers. She even has a new line of cotton "tube" type tops with matching hats which are so perfect for hot summer days. I've added a few more today, and hope to get the rest done by the end of the week. These hats are not inexpensive, but they are worth every penny. They hold up so well that they can be passed along to younger siblings, or sold on eBay. Let me know what you think of the collection. I am always looking for feedback! Come to my store and see what you like. Remember, we are in the growing stage and I have lots more items arriving dailt for spring and summer. I'd like to thank you ahead of time, because I know that you have a choice of where to shop, and I am very thankful that you choose www.ellasarahsboutique.com
