baby star sample sale love from greenville, SC!

we love greenville, SC! many thanks to jennifer for this great post...

My friend, Stefania, and I went to a great seminar hosted by the Greenville Hospital System just for pregnant women a few weeks ago. Among all our free goodies I found a coupon to a website called Baby Star and decided to check it out. I immediately fell in love with their cute designs and great products. I also love the fact that what they sell is 100% cotton and formaldahyde free, so it's safe for baby and the environment! Right now they have an amazing grab bag sale going on where their moderately priced products can be purchased for up to 70% off!! If anyone out there reading is expecting or knows someone who is, take a look at http://www.babystar.com/ and check out their products!! For a listing of their sale items, click on the big green box that says 'Customer Appreciation + Sample Sale!' I especially love their Kimono outfit and have already bought one for baby H!

environmental tip = baby star is AZO-free

we make our products with a lot of care. on that note, baby star is proud to say that all of our products are AZO-free. what you ask is AZO?

"Azo dyes and pigments are commonly used to color textiles and plastics. Some of the by-products, such as chlorinated aromatic amines, are toxic and may be potential carcinogens. The European Commission has recently passed directive 76/769EEC, which bans the usage of certain azo dyes for use in any textile or leather product which may come in "direct or prolonged" contact with the skin or mouth. Also, azo dyes and pigments resist biodegradation under aerobic conditions, so they are difficult to remove from an ecosystem."

meaning, yes, all our materials are free of AZO dyes. We only use materials that are AZO-free and set our standards to the strict standards of the EU as it is imperative that your baby is safe from chemicals.

love letter = luxurious blankets

we love to hear from you and we love to hear how much baby star is loved. ah, it is just music to our ears...

"I bought this blanket and two other Baby Star blankets for my new grandbabies. These are the most luxurious blankets ever! I took the blankets to someone and had the names embroidered before giving them as a gift and I can't tell you how everyone at the shower loved the blankets. I recommend these blankets to anyone as a high end baby shower gift."

love letter = super comfort

we were smiling so hard it hurt when we received this note. our dream has always been to build a beautiful brand that was a positive force in people's lives. this note and picture seal the deal for us...

I just wanted to thank you for all of the comfort your mini blanket gave to me and my 3 1/2 month old baby, Nate, when we were at the emergency department the other night (tummy trouble). I grabbed it on the way out the door, not even thinking of how helpful it would be to have something plush and warm to help us during our time there. I'm attaching a picture of my happy baby. We love the sample sales. Thank you!

giveaway winner

thank you so much for the amazing response to our sleep time safety giveaway. we loved reading all of your comments and love sharing important information with you. the winner is brownie b with this all too real comment...

I have one toddler and a newborn expected here in about a week. As a parent safety of your child is always your first concern. It is great to know that you can always count on up to date safety information. SIDS is down in numbers, but my older sister was a victim of SIDS 29 years ago. I am glad to know that this will always be a topic everyone should know about...not just parents.

Thanks!!
