This just in...

I found the cutest thing today! Fuzzy, furry, fluffy black coat - 18 mo. by TCP. Has satin lining and 4 pink rosettes. Listed for $11.99. If I still have it in February, I will likely put it in the school silent auction, as it a perfect example of what we love here at c&m.

Tomorrow is the last day for Free Shipping Mondays!

Whew... hold on, everybody. It's almost over! I know I am looking forward to a more normal routine as 2009 begins. I plan to make the new year a huge one for charlotte&madeline, and I hope that you will bookmark us and visit often.

Again, my thanks to everyone who has supported us this year as we have started out.

Today's Goodies

I found some really cute things today that I wanted to share here.

First, are two pillows - a square pink one and a round creamy-white one. Both are covered in roses. They would be adorable on a little girl's bed.

Also...one of those things things I have bought and thought, "Hmmm. Maybe I should keep this" is a very soft, very cute pig sleeping bag. Its head is a pillow and has feet and a tail at the bottom. It is in wonderful condition and would be a great gift. It could also be used for school nap-time.

The terrycloth robe is by Twigs Beach and Playwear. Again, a great gift. No one would know you hadn't just bought it new. I love the "English Garden" style print.

All of these are listed today in "Latest Items" on my homepage. http://www.charlotteandmadeline.com/

Hey, Mom and Dad. Thanks for voting... :-)

Good Monday Morning!

Hello All! Today there is one item that I would love to highlight - the 3-6 month OshKosh Fleece Dress. It is sooo soft and warm, and at $5.99 you can't beat it. Excellent, like-new condition. There is a little dog at the end of the leash (see website for more photos). Wear it with a turtleneck and tights for the holidays. Buy it today and shipping is free.

Announcing.... Free shipping on Mondays in December!

I want to thank everyone who has supported my site, but especially those at Genesis Academy who have bought clothes and Charlotte's hair clips. I am planning to donate at least one item to the Night of Knights Silent Auction this year. As always, Genesis customers do not need to pay shipping. Just send me an e-mail before checkout and we'll work it all out.

Please, Please, Please! Post your comments good or bad about the site and products. I want very much to give our customers what they want. How might I improve functionality of the site? Do you like the products I have chosen? What would you like to see more/less of? Those of you who have seen the site, but not bought anything - what would it take to get your business?

Also, those of you who are local...would you be more or less likely to buy from a brick-and-mortar charlotte&madeline store in Tonganoxie?

Thanks everyone!

charlotte&madeline - December 2008

By now, many of us have swung into high holiday gear. If you are like me, you have been scurrying around making lists, baking cookies, braving crowds and making sure your little snowboys and snowgirls are sufficiently bundled up. I hope that soon you will have a quiet moment to cuddle up in your pj’s with a cup of hot eggnog and your computer, and see what we have to offer at charlotte&madeline. We promise you will be impressed with the quality and affordability of our gently used items from such brands as BabyGap, Gymboree, Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie and more.


Wishing all the friends of charlotte&madeline a very happy holiday season. - Andrea
