Offical Name Change...Introducing...TEAPOT

Okay, we are now officially Teapot Parties and Children's Boutique. Yeah, I know, not as catchy but what are you gonna do? We will be known as Teapot. We picked this name because, well for one, its cute. But also because our website, our blog and our store is a teapotparties so we went for that whole "goes together" thing.

Our sign and website will be changing soon, but it will all look the same. Everything is the same, just a bit of a name change.. its like we got divorced.. he he.. oh, or we became so famous that we just shortened our name.. yeah, I like that one! I'm a Little Teapot, oh no! We are too famous so we just go by Teapot.. hey if this keeps up maybe we can just be a symbol formally known as teapot...oh yeah baby hold on to your horses!

Item of the Week- For your funky child

No Added Sugar Hubble Bubble
We are loving this dress! A soft, cosy fleece, cut into a modern, flattering shape using a cotton rib on the body for a good fit, and flounces of fleece from the waist to create a skirt with a bustle effect. The edges of the flounces are unfinished to create a lovely curling effect with each wash and wear.

$110.00

Start thinking of a new name!!!!!!!!

Okay people we have officially 2 weeks to change our name from I'm a Little Teapot to something else... ahhhh!!

All our logos, our stickers, our advertising, our signs..holy cow!

Can it be done? Just think of the money and the time. Well if you don't see Kayse and I for 2 weeks you will know it is because we are face down in a pile of paperwork and such trying to recreate ourselves into a different name.

What is in a name, everything, I tell you! It was so fun to have people laugh at our name, enjoy our name and come in singing. I cant tell you how many times people would start singing on the phone, I truly feel it brightened their day.


So do you have any ideas??

Kenley Hard At Work

We just hired a new employee... but I think she is slacking on the job! 

Mock Party

Our poor children.. its hard being the children of parents that own businesses. We are constantly asking them to do this, or take that, or wait patiently, or STOP THAT, ITS BAD FOR BUSINESS TO HAVE YOU SCREAMING AND CRYING IN A CHILDREN'S STORE! 

Well yesterday was no exception. We had in the photographer named Mariah Smith http://mariahsmith.com. She creates beautiful photographs and we are going to be displaying them on our walls around the store. Because we wanted some that fit she came in to take pictures of our Mock Party! The girls were all dressed up and pretending to have tea and cupcakes. Not too bad for them, Mariah is wonderful in capturing candid moments. She is professional but friendly. She talks to the children and being a mom herself, knows just the right questions to ask to get that smile! 

Speaking of parties... we are booking up quickly. If you were thinking of having a party at I'm a Little Teapot, well book NOW! Its amazing how quickly the calls are coming in! 

Speaking of party.. I better go book my daughters! Ahhh... 

Rubber Ducky Your The One...

You make bath time so much fun...

Just in, wrap around your child, towels. These are so cute, hip and so much better then all those animal heads floating around out there in laundry land. 

Come take a look! 

Price is $44.00 each. 

Oh No! .... a roadbump on this business adventure!

Well, I received a call today from a New York lawyer... apparently the owners of the copyright name of I'm a Little Teapot wants its name back...

Boo Hoo... this is a hurdle that we will overcome but I thought I would share with you since that is the point of this whole Blog. For you to come along with us on our business "trip" down the roads of the unknown...

I will keep you updated, but worst case scenario.. I guess we change our name! Ahhhh......

I know what you are thinking, "Didn't they think of that first?" Well, we did, for a second and then we decided that hey, people use song names all the time and they are fine. I guess we should have held onto that thought for a bit longer then 2 seconds.

Now we know!

Pregnancy Belly Casting with Pot Belly Casts

Pot Belly Casts

Many of you do not know that for the past 9 years, I, Ashley have been creating Belly Casts for pregnant women all over Colorado and California. It is a passion and a love that I have had to put down for the past year giving me more time in creating I'm a Little Teapot. While I am still very busy with the store, I now have a bit more time to start my services back up again. So, I am now accepting calls and appointments to have your belly cast.

Bringing everything I need to cast your belly I set up, cast and clean up, right in your very own home. All you have to provide is your beautiful belly. The best time to have a cast done is between 34 and 40 weeks.

I offer two different services with each belly casts, one being finishing your cast in white either allowing you to hang it as is, or decorate it yourself. The other being where I decorate your cast for you. There is an additional charge for this service.

I am working on my website at this time, but if you call or stop in I can answer any questions you may have.
I also sell do-it-yourself kits and perform blessingway ceremonies.

While Mom's Away.. The Mice Will Play

Kayse and I are so fortunate to have family around! Wondering what to do with our children before school is back, Kayse and I turn to our Mother. Tutu is what she goes by, it means Grandmother in Hawaiian. She is an artist and values one on one time with her granddaughters (all 7 of them!). So today is Ava's day! She has been waiting and waiting for her own time. They created Crowns and purses.. here are some pictures of her creations.

I will be posting more pictures of the other 3 later today! Check back!

Sometimes it can be hard to find our website on this blog, so here it is!

Enjoy! 

Oh Those Silly Girls...

So, in order to create a catalogue for our shopping page (which you should check out) we wanted some cute pictures that actually meant something. So, we used my girls! They had such a blast. Ava is 5 and she is the brown haired one and Kobain is just about 8 and she is blond. 

They sure make me laugh! Presley and Isobella were not about to have their pictures taken at this point in the day. I believe Bella was off crying somewhere and Pres was picking apples...

Check out our shopping page and look to see which one we ended up using! http://www.teapotparties.com
