National Exposure

Was I ever surprised to see one of my bibs (my favourite, to be honest) featured in the recent "Moms & Tots" section of Glow Magazine's Holiday Gift Guide, courtesy of Leah at Elephant Shoe. So cool!

Harvest time at Small Potatoes

Though the flowers are still blooming it is officially starting to feel like Fall. It was a very busy summer for Small Potatoes, so busy in fact that I haven't posted in quite some time.

What's new you ask? Well, for starters, I'm really excited to announce some gorgeous new fabrics that I think you'll love. Fun florals and little birdies make these new fabrics extra fun for little ones. Available in most products.

Also, just in time for the cold weather season, I'm thrilled to announce a brand new must-have product for babies and big kids of all ages, the Small Potatoes Mitten Leashes. Available in the same great ribbons you love on our Binky Leashes, these little straps will keep your child's mittens where they should be - within reach! Retailing at just $10 for a pair, get yours now before the weather outside turns frightful. Shipping October 1st.

Black is the new black

Small Potatoes now offers solid black slings. Since these pouch style baby slings are reversible, you have your choice of colours for the reverse side. Choose from the following trendy fashion colours:

Mei Tais have arrived!

I'm pleased to announce the new Small Potatoes Mei Tai Baby Carriers.

What's a Mei Tai?
A ”Mei tai” (pronounced “may tie”) is a traditional Asian-style baby carrier with roots that stretch back hundreds of years. Mothers would tie their babies onto their bodies with a square or rectangle-shaped fabric with straps on all four corners.

The Small Potatoes Mei Tai Baby Carrier carries on that tradition with updated features such as padded straps and body, which offer supreme comfort, and modern fabric prints to show off your tasteful sense of style.

There are a variety of ways to wear your baby with a Mei Tai and with every Small Potatoes Mei Tai you will receive an instruction booklet which shows a few of the different "carries".

These premium baby carriers are being introduced exclusively at The Baby Bin Boutique in Winnipeg. The Baby Bin is carrying eight different fabrics, with more coming next month. Please try one on today, the lovely ladies at the Baby Bin will be happy to help you find one that's right for you.

Mei Tais will be officially launched on the Small Potatoes online shop this fall.
