How to Make a Holiday Bazaar Fun!
Posted by Namely Newborns on Jan 1st 2015
Yesterday, was our second bazaar and it was terrific. We put all of our reduced items including Margery Ellen Layette in the front room in baskets. Our back room showed displays of gift sets from Little Giraffe, Bearington Bear and our custom line of organic blankets.Everyone received a free shopping tote when they entered and then it was a mad rush to fill it with adorable baby gifts before we ran out of popular sizes.
We invited several guests to spice up the event. Danny Elfenbein from the Zoo Miami is helping us connect with the zoo. He bought a 3 Marthas baby towel featuring what else - elephants. 10% of all items purchased with the code zoobaby are donated to the new zoo babies. There is an upcoming preganancy at the zoo and judging from the size of the mother, this will not be a secret long.
Our second guest was artist Carolyn Heiss. She is able to create a beautiful portrait of a child or any group of children and family members from a portrait. She brought beautiful samples of her work as well as pieces of estate jewelry and fine baby earings in 14 k gold with diamonds. Wow! what a great gift for a newborn.
