As you probably know, the Runways in New York were filled with Bright, Bold colors, lots of Patterns and Yellow in ANY form is THE color of the season.  Remind you of the 60’s???  All of this Color and Fun were the inspiration for our Moonbabies Monthly Special.  These new pieces allow you to go to your Happy Color Place without looking like a member of the Muppet family.  Remember; a little color goes a long way.

June is fast approaching which means the end of the school year. Don’t forget to thank that special teacher with a gift she will love and use..a Moonbaby Beaded Lanyard. And, now you can personalize it with a charm!

For the Graduate in your life, pick any Moonbaby Stick Pin and we will add a Cap or Diploma to make it a gift they will treasure forever.

Finally, remember that Moonbabies products make great Fundraising tools for your favorite charity, school, sports teams, religious organization or special event. Check out our Fundraising page for further information.

Have a Happy, Healthy May!

For the first time in 15 years, I spent Christmas vacation in warm weather in the wild city of Miami & a short stop in Key West. As a designer, I look for inspiration wherever I go and I must admit that I came away from my time in Miami with a whole lot more inspiration than when I return from Vermont  !

What a vibrant and fun city! Color was everywhere and for a gal that spends a lot of time in New York city where Black is the regulation color, I was dazzled. The people are colorful, the buildings are colorful, the cars are colorful and yes, even the pets are colorful…I actually saw several dogs that had been dyed lovely pastel colors. Ok, that is when inspiration left and the urgent need to get back to a place where they simply dress dogs in colorful outfits took over.

As an astute observer of fashion, I was struck by the number of women that were walking around in 5″ heels…I mean, I love Sex in the City as much as the next gal, but to actually wear shoes like that everyday must set women’s evolution back several decades, no??

As soon as vacation was over, the Trade Show season begins so it was off to Atlanta for the Gift Show. Another bustling city, however, since we work the show 8 hours a day there is not much time to enjoy the city. Moonbabies was very well received and despite the doom and gloom warnings about the economy, we had a great show.

Our new line of “Readers & Chains” blew out! I guess the whole world is over 40 and can’t read without “help” anymore. Be sure to check out this new collection

The other new product that did very well was he Moonbaby Holder. For those of you who have to wear glasses or an I.D. badge but don’t want to wear it around your neck, you can wear this whimsical “pin” that doubles as a “holder”.

We are also very excited about the new Collection of Moonbabies products that we have designed for St. Jude’s Hospital. This is an amazing organization that helps thousands of sick children. We are honored to be affiliated with them.

Please feel free to let us know what you are thinking.. Positive, negative or otherwise, not that it will change anything we do, but we love to get feedback!!! Just kidding.

I am a first-time Blogger, egged on by a husband who insists that there are folks out there who are actually interested in MOONBABIES CHAT.. so bear with me as I learn the art of the BLOG! For the handful of you who are not familiar with us, let me give you a brief history.

Anyway, the first MOONBABY was conceived during the Blizzard of 1996 with the intention of keeping my 2 children entertained. I was the most creative at-home mom with the most abundant “craft room” so I became the designated “foul weather shelter” for every stray child in the neighborhood..In an effort to keep the little shavers busy, I whipped out some wire, and beads and set about creating “mini me’s” for the kids, stuck a pin on the back and sent them on their chilly little way…Family and friends began calling to request the little “people pins” for gifts. When a local store contacted me to make 100 pins for Christmas, I knew I was on to what would become my life’s work!

Almost 11 years later, MOONBABIES has grown into a vibrant, dynamic company with a very extensive product line! The foundation of our mission has remained the same; produce high-quality, fashion forward accessory items exclusively in the United States by a very loyal and dedicated team of “MoonMoms” who can work at home and care for their children. Now, get a good night’s sleep and drink a few Red Bulls and tune in  for more about this facinating company and it’s truly interesting Chief Poobah!
