Interstate Trade

I just found out this week that some of my bibs have been sent over the border to Storyville’s Baton Rouge store.  It’s their first trip out of Texas.  If you’re near LSU, go check them out.

ACL 2009

The kind folks at Storyville once again took my bibs on the road.  This time to the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  I got to visit them when I attended the festival on Saturday.

Old Pecan Street Festival

The folks from Storyville are going to be selling their wares (including my bibs) at the Old Pecan Street Festival this weekend.  So if you make it down to 6th street, stop by and say hello.  Besides my bibs, they have a lot of cool stuff.  You can check it out at http://wearyourstory.com/.

Blogspotting

I was excited to see that my bibs are on the Parts & Labour blog this week.  They’ve put together some really cute baby gift sets with items from different designers.  Check it out at http://partsandlabour.blogspot.com/2009/08/will-heron.html.

Terra Toys/Dragonsnaps

Yesterday, I started a business relationship with Terra Toys.  They bought several of my bibs to sell in their store.  Now if I can just get out of there without spending my entire check on toys!

Etsy

I finally got my Etsy account started up!  You can see it at www.represent.etsy.com.   I’m excited because there have been several occasions when people have asked me where they can buy my bibs.  Now I can say, “they’re on Etsy”.

Silent Auction Sets

This month I donated two burp cloth and bib sets to the silent auction at Trinity CDC’s Annual Sharing with Santa party.  Hopefully, they’ll do well and earn the Center some money.

What’s in a name?

I’ve been making bibs for gifts, and I recently decided to try to sell them. This blog will chronicle my adventures making and selling my baby bibs. My first step was to create a brand, so that people may recognize the bibs when they see them. I chose rePresent for the following reasons:

• I began making my bibs as presents.
• All of the bibs are made from 50% reUsed fabrics.
• All of the bibs are reVersible.
• Even a baby’s gotta represent.

My next step was to make a few bibs to act as samples. I’ve made about 15 and I will visit some local vendors and show them my wares next week. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
