Announcing our new toddler tee color!

I am very happy to announce that a new toddler tshirt color is now available at Cantaloupe Corner!

If you are seeing black it's because we now have BLACK TODDLER TSHIRTS!

I don't know why we didn't do this sooner! I'm in love with the black tees! I'll get some new pics as soon as I can to show you how great they look! I can't wait to make some for my boys!

Time's up! The winner for Emerald Blossom is. . .

TIMES UP!!! Thanks so all who entered the Emerald Blossom headband giveaway! We had tons of entries and now I have a list of great new songs and kid's books!




I can't wait to check the kid's books out! We have quite the library of children's books here but there were a bunch that I hadn't heard of yet. Yay! I love you guys!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

2010 is here and at Cantaloupe Corner are anticipating a fabulous, fantastic, fun filled year with heaps of new products and more exciting stuff!

What's happening this year?

Here are some of our goals for 2010:

1.Open up Cantaloupe Blossoms on Etsy! (I am sooo excited about this!) It's going to be all my favorite accessories, including Blossom Headbands and Clips! I'll start adding item this month! Can't wait!!!!

2. New designs! (I've got some fun ones in the works right now! I can't wait to see how they turn out!)

3. Expand our size selection to include bigger kid's sizes!

4. Craft Shows! (For all you locals. I'll let you know dates and times)

5. Organize and streamline our product lines. (Out with the old, in with the bold!)

6. Organize and set up our new work area. We've graduated from the cramped dining room to having an entire office dedicated to CC!

7. Create, Create, Create! (I dream about this part every night,*sigh*)

8. (The most important) Find more time to spend with my sweet little boys. They are the reason I started CC in the first place.

Now it's written down and everyone has seen it so I can't take any of these back. :)

I hope you all have the best year EVER!

My motto for this year: Don't wait around for things to happen to you. Make them happen!

Spotlight: Wee Pereas

Last month I got THE CUTEST reusable snack bags from and Etsy shop called Wee Pereas. I can't believe I ever lived without these!

I hate throwing away zip-lock bags. It feels like a big waste of money and it's not environmentally friendly either. These bags are just the right size, they velcro tightly so no snack sneak out, and they are super easy to clean. And how cute is this fabric!?

Thank you Wee Pereas! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new trendy and eco-friendly snack bags! They will definitely get a lot of use from my two little boys!

Etsy Chat Team

I just joined up recently with a bunch of party animals called the"Etsy Chat Team."

I love meeting awesome fellow Etsy sellers and the best place to find them is in the Etsy chat rooms!

I've gotten the best advice there! They took me in and taught me how to make my shop work!

Shout out to the Etsy Chat Team and all of their craftyness. They are so cool they were even nice enough to put one of my onesies up on their blog spotlight! YAY!

Check them out here
