Big, no - HUGE thanks to WebCom Resources for putting together the new site. At first glance you might not realize how much better the new site is, but the cleaner lines, much better checkout system and so on are really remarkable. Look them up if you need a professional website done.

So Much Fun...

info@charlotteandmadeline.com (We are an online boutique) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:24:00 +0000

Thanks so much to Madame Hatter's for being so gracious to host our first fashion show and sale. Miss Bonnie (as Charlotte has been calling her today) has a wonderful place, and it is absolutely worth the drive to Eudora to check her out. She has wonderful food, and the girls just had a blast trying on the hats, stoles, gloves, etc in the Vault.

We did very well for our first sale outside of the website, and hope that everyone who bought things is pleased...I heard a lot of "ohhhh, look - that is so cute!" which makes me very happy. I also got many ideas for things and sizes to be on the lookout for in the future.

The fashion show was great, I thought, and the models were awesome! Katie, Montana, Ella, Emily, Natalie, Charlie and Maddie...you girls rock.

Next, we plan to be at Tonganoxie Days in June with a booth - so look for us there!

New Items Posted Today

info@charlotteandmadeline.com (We are an online boutique) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:01:00 +0000

I found a few cute things yesterday...my favorite is a combination of a Tommy Hilfiger zip up hoodie and a black and white Dalmatian print jumper, both 3T. Wear this set with a pair of jeans for a super-cute outfit. Both are on sale through January.

If you like them as an outfit, please hurry as they are currently only available separately.

On another note...I'm always on the lookout for items that customers seem to request often and snatch up fast, like coats and boots. I'm also tossing around the idea of stocking up on jeans and selling them in groups of say, 5 of the same size. Please let me know your thoughts about what you would like to see more, or less of. My goal is to provide what you want!

New Friends

info@charlotteandmadeline.com (We are an online boutique) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 03:13:00 +0000

We want to welcome two new friends to charlotte&madeline - both local businesses that we love.

Vintage Soap and Bath is located here in Tonganoxie - a beautiful little store with handmade bath & beauty items and wonderful candles. Check out their website or stop by their store at 626 Fourth St.

Madame Hatter's Tea Room is one of my daughter's favorite places. She gets to dress up in their great hats and boas, and I get a terrific lunch and tea. Take along a group of friends (and definitely try the quiche)! Don't forget your camera.

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.

info@charlotteandmadeline.com (We are an online boutique) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:25:00 +0000

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

info@charlotteandmadeline.com (We are an online boutique) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:39:00 +0000

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/

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.

Welcome friends from Facebook!

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?

(You may comment anonymously if you prefer.)

Thanks everyone!

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
