COMING SOON TO KITSON KIDS

I was just in LA last week for a few meetings. I found myself window shopping in Santa Monica late one afternoon and walked by Kitson, an LA favorite. As I passed by, I found myself longing for the day that our items would be available for Kitson customers. Literally days later an order came from Kitson for our flower hats. What wonderful sales reps we have in LA. Thanks Heidi and Renee at Clothing the Boom. I am grateful to all of the retailers and moms that have fallen in love with our products and support our business!!!

Catalog update: One day left to get this thing to print and the pressure is on. It is going to be a late one tonight.

New Season New Catalog

When we started this business about two years ago we had no idea what we were in for, and that is an understatement. We have started to get into the groove of things and have improved on many of the things that we struggled with when we first started. One of those things is our catalog. We are very excited to be releasing our second catalog of the year in a few weeks. The planing and timing of the catalog is always very last minute and stressful. My business partner (with me helping occasionally) has to crank out 12 pages in a matter of days. She is a miracle worker. Here is a sneak preview of some of our new items that will be available in Aug. online and nationwide.

Pictured: Audrey and Kenzie in our new Zwing tops over our new Zootie Bootie Rufflerumps. Looks great paired with Zootie Leg warmers!!!!

We are so Excited!!! Zootie Patootie Onesies were featured in Scholastic Parent and Child. Our first national publication. YEA!!

The Holiday Season is HERE!

I can hardly believe it myself, but here we are again preparing for the Holiday Season. Growing up in the Midwest I was more prepared for December as the cold weather warns you that Christmas is coming. Now that I live in California 70 degrees in December isn't what I am accustom to. I have to admit it is taking an extra effort on my part this year to get into the spirit of the season. With only 23 days to Christmas there is still time to get your holiday onesies for your patooties online. Check out the adorable holiday items that are now on sale!

First things first. I have to give a virtual high five to all bloggers out there. I am not sure how you come up with new and interesting things to say on a daily basis, as I have found that keeping a blog is not my area of expertise. But I have made an October resolution to update the Zootie Blog more often than every six months. Hopefully October resolutions last longer than New Years resolutions!

That being said, we are still alive and working. We have new onesie designs that have finally been added to the shop page and as you might have noticed we have a new gallery (thanks Jamie). We had so many cute pictures from the photo shoot but couldn't add them all so I thought that featuring them here would be a good way to share some of them. Here is one of my favorites...and stay tuned for more to come. (Assuming I stick to the resolution)

Keep checking back for new updates. Use the code ZBLOG for ten percent off all internet orders thru the end of the year.

We have been working like mad women the past few weeks.  So I first have to apologize to all of my dearest friends...I am still alive and I will call you very soon.  

WE ARE EXPANDING OUR LINE.  

We will be adding a few new items to our line in June.  You have asked and we have answered...boys hats are on the way.  We will be introducing three new hats in a few weeks with more to follow in Aug.  We will also be introducing the first dress for girls from 12m to 24m in June...stay tuned as I will post pics as soon as they become available.  

WE ARE EXPANDING OUR SALES FORCE

Zootie Patootie is based on the west coast and it was time to expand east, translation, we are coming soon to a store near you. We have hired 10+ new sales reps in the past week with a few more showrooms to add next week.  I was especially excited when we got picked up by a great show room in my home town of Chicago.  YEAH!  (not to say that I am not excited about representation in the other parts of the country)  So if you own a store any are interested in talking to a rep in your area email me at zootie@zootiepatootie.com and I will be more than happy to put you in touch with the right person.
