New Star of David Heirloom Bijou Bracelet™
Sunday, October 25, 2009
Couture Collection
This is the second piece in our Couture Collection, the Precious Pearl Heirloom Bijou Bracelet™. This design was originally created for a customer of Jackson Madeleine, Classics for Children. The customer wanted us to create several options with only using freshwater pearls. This is the design she chose, and we loved it! It made it's debut in Ft. Lauderdale, as well as this past show in Atlanta Market. It retails for $75, and can be purchased on our online store as well as our growing list of retailers.

Couture Collection
We are so excited to announce that we have launched a Couture Collection! We listened to our customers for their desire to create some higher end pieces for our Heirloom Bijou Bracelets™. We launched the collection with Summer Place Showroom in the Ft. Lauderdale Market, and had a great response while gaining some new retailers to add the cherry on top.

Remember, what doesn't break you, makes you stronger! Also, we are firm believers that there is always a silver lining, but it's not always in our timing. There's always a lesson to be learned or an idea to be generated from something that may appear to be doom and gloom. Think outside of the box, and turn to others for support. We received more support from the unexpected than the expected, so never place limits and boundaries on yourself when you are trying to achieve your dreams.
Ok, I'll get off my soap box and go to bed, but I've been feeling the love and support and it's just sooo nice! I hope that others can benefit from out experience.
NEW NAME
Anywayyyy, we have a new product name thanks to Jee Youn Fickling! It's the Heirloom Bijou Bracelet™. "Bijou" is French for jewelry, an item to be adorned. When I heard the definition, I just knew that was our new name. It also seemed to roll off my tongue like the old name. We feel that this is actually a better suited name for us, because appears to be a little classier. It adds that finer touch to it.
Hope all of you like it, and thank you so much for all of the entries. We got some great alternates and were very impressed with the creativity and the support! I cannot say it enough, this contest would not have been possible if it wasn't for the mompreneurs who donated, Baby Swags PR, and you for your name suggestions.
Please visit our youtube video to announce the name. We filmed it at one of our local retailers, Jackson Madeleine - classics for children. If you're local, please visit their store and check out their beautiful and unique clothing and gifts.

Kids Today Online
We were just featured in the Show Biz, Atlanta section of Kids Today magazine. They were showing an exclusive, in-depth look at what's new and hot at the Atlanta gift show. This is such a privilege for us to be included among so many other well-established companies. Not only were we featured, but we are the first company to be mentioned! When I went to visit our retailer, Baby Bloomers in Mt. Pleasant, she showed me the magazine. I had no idea, and almost started crying!
It's just so nice to be recognized for all of the hard work and sacrifices that we all make as WAHM's! These are the moments that make us keep going. Please visit the link below to see our airplane design featured!
