360 Bebe Fall Fabrics & Facebook

Well, it seems blogs are old hat and facebook & twitter have taken over. I haven't quite mastered the whole twitter thing but 360 Bebe is now on facebook. I posted pics of the newest fabrics and I'm sewing like crazy. I'm eager to get my newest slings over to the Austin Baby Store. They have a beautiful new location on Lamar at Barton Springs. I hope to get the newest line sewn up asap and to have a huge Bebe Shower complete with Bebe gifts. To receive your invite to the shower please send me an email with the text Bebe Shower in the subject line. info@360bebe.com

Grand Re-Opening Fall 2009

I have ordered new fabrics, they're in, and it's very exciting . . . new slings are in the works as well as other fab bebe items!!! If you would like to receive updates and be added to our email list let me know at info@360bebe.com

Update

Congress has issued a stay in regards to the new standards for children's products. This means that the law is still in effect but there will be no enforcement for a period of one year. Hopefully this will give congress a chance to work out all the kinks in this important legislation. This is good news for small businesses.

However, I have decided I would like to take some time off. I will be closed to new orders definitely until September. This will give me some much needed personal time to spend with my boys. My youngest will start kindergarten in the fall and I will make a decision at that time whether to continue with 360 Bebe.

I have loved this business. It has given me the opportunity to meet some amazing mamas and beautiful babies. I have received many emails with kind words and it is very heart warming. I feel very blessed to have been in this business for almost four years and I'm being very prayerful about what is next for me.

Thank you so much for your business and support.

And if you are currently looking for a sling, there are still 360 Bebe slings available at Austin Baby Store and Due Maternity.

Sad News

By now you might have heard of the new CPSIA regulations that require lead testing for all products manufactured for use by children under the age of twelve.  Sadly the testing is cost prohibitive for small businesses such as 360 Bebe.  Subsequently, I will be closing in February.  If the law is amended in such a way that I'm able to continue my business I will consider re-opening at that time.

Currently, I'm completing sling orders for the Austin Baby Store and Due Maternity who will be able to sell my slings as long as they are in the stock before the February 10th deadline.
