One Day to Kick-Off

So it’s the day before we officially kick off our new cloth diaper biz. Saturday we’ll be debuting at the Green Power Baby Shower in Seattle. The show, which we think will draw mostly pregnant women and their partners, will open at 10 a.m. We’ll be there at 7 (hopefully) with a grouchy 2 1/2 year old and a babbly 1-year-old in tow. The baby will be our model for the day, decked out in her finest cloth diapers (GAD hot pink with black fleece interior, Happy Heinys knit poodles, Knickernappies melon, to name a few), plus of course some adorable BabyLegs. The toddler might sport some warmers on her legs or arms, but she’ll mostly be interested in getting into the for-sale toys and finding snacks. We’re nervous and excited to be embarking on a new venture, and despite the exhaustion of preparing our grand opening, we’re thrilled that we’ve made it this far. We don’t expect to sell too much – we think many parents-to-be will just be starting to think and learn about cloth diapers, and will be making their purchasing decisions after they’ve planned and thought some more. But we hope to be a wealth of information, and maybe sell some sweet organic toys, fair-trade onezees and – most importantly – some eco-consciousness. And for the open-minded, THAT’S free.
