Enchanting Classic Disney by Icky Baby

As a New Year arrives, we at Recurrent Dreams Baby Boutique are excited about our new fashions due to arrive! Shipments start next month, for our early Spring '07 collections, from designers Tea Collection, Tiki Baby, Milk and Honey, and Icky Baby. JaJa Baby's floral retro halter dress and Giggle Surf transcends nicely for resort wear . . . perhaps for those tropical winter getaways?

We are particularly impressed with Icky Baby's new Classic Disney Collection! Recent press releases have been outstanding. As Stephen Teglas, VP Disney Corp NA, explains "With the expertise of Icky Baby and Disney's vision combined, we've achieved two new lines that are truly aspirational, elegant and classic featuring Disney characters in a tender yet subtle fashion."

The Classic Disney Collection, shows enchanting softly colored sketch work of Bambi, in an elegant green toile. Luxury gift items include sumptuous baby blankets, soft block sets in tulle bags, and adorable layette and infant apparel. Pictured above is the Lucy Dress (link), available in infant size 12 to 24 months. We recommend pre-ordering, with delivery late February.

Although we still have another couple of months of winter, we are spring forward! Currently we have our Winter Sale (link) in progress. As a special promotion to our Blog Readers, we will ship free on orders over $50.00 during January. Just check off Will Call, and we will send you back a confirmation email.

Enjoy 2007, here's to family and friends! Feel free to post on our blog, or to contact us directly at RecurrentDreams.com, anytime.

Little Girls in Summer Dresses

It's summer time, and the living is easy.

I love going to the beach with my daughters, and watching them run barefoot in the sand. Twirling in their summer dresses, I feel so blessed. And the next day, they insist on wearing their summer sun dress again, as they feel so cool, comfortable and magical on them.

Love these little girl sun dresses so much, that I built a whole new website to show case them, http://www.RecurrentDreamsBaby.com (link). They are handcrafted in Long Beach, California, exclusively for us at www.RecurrentDreams.com, and come in 5 whimsical summer prints. View these timeless classics at our new speciality site, www.RecurrentDreamsBaby.com, or at our main webpage, www.RecurrentDreams.com. Have a wonderful summer, full of memories to last a lifetime!

Bees Knees

"Why didn't I think of that!" is everyone's comment when they see these pants on display at our Long Beach shop.

My mother discovered these pants at a children's show in Toronto, and promptly emailed me in California, about this great invention. And guess what, Mothers do know best!

In fact, these pants where designed by a Mompreneur, Tammany Atkinson, from Mississauga, Canada. She was crawling around on her tile floor with her young son when she realized how sore it made her knees. She searched for a product that would help protect a baby's delicate knees from the scrapes and bruises that come with crawling on hard surfaces, but when she realized there was nothing available, she decided to invent it. Her company, Bee's Knees, makes baby pants with padded knees.

These high performance crawler pants are both stylish & comfortable, available in pink, khaki & denim. With reinforced crawler kneepads, an elastic waistband, and a roomy fit, they come in sizes 6/12 mths & 12/18 mths.

A portion of the proceeds are donated to The Learning to Listen Foundation, teaching children who are deaf how to hear, listen, talk and sing through Auditory Verbal Therapy.

Now available at our online store, at www.RecurrentDreams.com. Link to product: http://estore.websitepros.com/805672/Detail.bok?no=136

Lemon Drops

Refreshing Lemon Drops for Summer. Love the retro print, kind of early 70's Goldie Hawn's style. Ja Ja Babywear's fashions are trendy yet classic, using vintage prints on classic styles. Very hip, in fact they have been selling like hotcakes in the trendier boutiques on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. But, hey, Long Beach is hip and happening too. After all, we have Ja Ja Babywear at Recurrent Dreams!

Visit our Online boutique to see the Classic Button Down Little Boy's Shirt and Little Girl's Halter Dress. Love the Lemon Drop print! http://www.RecurrentDreams.com

Nostalgic in California

When shopping for my children's boutique, Recurrent Dreams, I always seem to revert back to my mother's instinct. Once I decided on our spring look, "Nostalgic Beach Living", the rest seemed to fall in place. Let me share with you, my mother's instinct criteria:

Comfort: too many times my children have complained that the beautiful dress I had bought them was too itchy & confining!

Emotion: call me sentimental, but it makes my heart sing to see my children dressed for Easter.

Quality, Uniqueness and Price: I would rather pay a little bit more, and have something that does not fall apart after the 3rd washing, however there is a limit on how much I will pay.

This spring, I was blessed to find all my criteria met from small California companies, such us Kumquat, Nobody's Business, Reflectionz, and Barefoot Dreams (although they are not so small since Oprah discovered them!). I invite you to post, your Mother's Instinct list too.

Cakes Made with Love

I first met Sylvia about 6 years ago, at work (pre Recurrent Dreams). Soon we became friends, and I came to know her as a very spiritual positive person. One day she brought a wonderful cake in for a co-worker's birthday. Much to my admiration, she told me that she had baked it herself. As a hobby, she had been taking cake decorating classes, and she loved it!

Well her love for baking developed into a passion, and shortly after she was making cakes for her family & friends, and their family & friends . . . & naturally for all our fairy events and birthday parties at Recurrent Dreams. If you ask Sylvia what makes her cakes so incredible, she simply says "They're made with Love".

Well, she is going to take a leap in faith, and open her own storefront in Downey, California! The name of her shop will be "Made with Love". She will continue baking & decorating cakes (& delivering them too), but will also be teaching classes and selling baking supplies, so you can create your own edible masterpiece! I wish her well, as she builds her dreams.

To contact "Made with Love', you can email Sylvia at smedina791@aol.com
