Happy Spring! Can you believe it’s nearly April already? Bathing suits have long been out in department stores for us to gawk at or moan over (your choice) and at the apparel shows we are seeing nothing but fall, fall, fall! I feel like we finally got over the winter hurdle. And one other notable fashion statement at the shows- green, green, green! As in of course take care of your earth green. I also noticed this at the ISS show back in January. The yearly screen printers convention that boasts tons of tees, inks, printable art and the machines that make it happen. Nearly every vendor there was proud to show that they were on the green bandwagon which in my opinion is a wonderful thing- thank-you Al Gore. More than ever companies are stepping up, doing the research, making better choices for the earth. Sometimes it may cost a bit more, may not be as convenient but in the big scheme of things everyone benefits down the road. I love that we are all doing this in one way or another. I really think the more we go along the more we will see this happening. If the shows I’ve been attending are any indication there is a huge positive movement that has no end in sight. Fantastic.

Small Hands has always used organic ink on all of our children’s and babies apparel and will now be moving that into our adult line. We’ve decided to add some more organic pieces to the line for summer and fall that are just fantastic and have some wonderful hues to them. We’ve also found some cool pieces for men in great colors- many organic, again look for these in the coming months. It’s really hard to pick and choose with all choices that are out there in the marketplace right now. And they baby clothes- wow, so much baby stuff out there I had no idea! We are beyond thrilled with what we have coming out for fall but now I’m getting way ahead of myself.

For all of you, enjoy the longer warmer days…I know that I am. Happy, happy spring!

Welcome to Small Hands. As you may have noticed, we’ve overhauled the website, and recently partnered with Yahoo! Shopping so we could add lots of new products and features.

So this is my first blog post, ever. I was encouraged to create one by many people, particularly my husband. Maybe he thinks it will keep me off the phone… doubtful.

Anyway, through this blog I will be writing about our products (obviously), but also about the state of the world, my spiritual musings, our charitable efforts, and what other like minded folks are doing. I’ll also periodically be writing a segment called, “Friends of Small Hands,” profiling some extraordinary people doing extraordinary things while wearing Small Hands Apparel.

So please check back often, and feel free to subscribe to the postings by clicking that Atom, Rss feed thingy button to the right.

Namaste,
