Call for Vendors!

Our special craft fairs at Milagros are coming back with the change in the weather. So mark your calendar for our first big craft fair of the season on April 18th!

As always, there will be a wonderful collection of locally made goods, complimentary sundries, stuff for the kids, and special deals at Milagros.

Would you like to show your stuff?

If you would like to considered as a vendor, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: 1) You have to make or design the product you are selling (sorry, no resellers) and 2) if you are using any manufactured goods as part of your craft/product (for instance if you are screen-printing on a t-shirt) you MUST be using certified sweatshop-free materials.

Our table fee is only $20 - table and chair is provided plus a link in a Milagros blog post.  If you are interested in participating, please send us an email at milagros@milagrosboutique.com

New Online Store - Used Gap and Gymboree

I am a mommy of two with recycling in mind so I started an online store of our gently used and new clothing for children. All items are in excellent condition. http://www.snappyfinds.com and join my facebook group for store events and notices http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=56654530894 Happy Shopping!

Where are the best consignment shops?

I'm cleaning out my daughter's closet and have loads of clothes she hasn't even worn!  Unfortunately I'd bought them before I knew she was on strike and wouldn't wear anything but t-shirts and pants without zippers.  !!  Most still have the tags on them.  What consignment shops give the best deal?  They are mostly winter, size 4T.

Want to trade boy clothes for girl clothes?

I am looking to trade girls clothes, sizes newborn to 24 months, for boys clothes. I recently had a baby boy and have a TON - I mean a TON - of girls clothes to trade. 

Or would anyone be into a "Naked Baby" party to trade clothes?

Let me know - email: jshupp08@gmail.com.

Thanks!

New resale shop opening on 24th & E. Burnside

Hello mamas,

I'm opening a new resale shop for women and kids at 2410 E. Burnside St.  We carry well made clothes, shoes and accessories for babies and kids 0-8. I'm hoping to make the shop a fun place for mom's to shop for themselves as well as their babies.  We have great maternity/nursing wear but also hip post pregnancy mama wear including vintage and locally made goodies.  The shop will officially open Feb. 9th, store hours Tuesday--Saturday 11-5.  In an effort to build up our inventory I'm in the shop 7 days a week from 1-5 until opening. Please bring in your best resale/consignment goods anytime during those hours.  Women's clothes and accessories will be sold on consignment and all baby clothes and accessories will be bought outright or put towards store credit.

Crafty mamas,  I plan to feature locally made items too.  Please contact me if you'd like to talk about consigning your goods in the store.

hope to see you soon!

Obama Change Socks?

My husband and I were walking our 2-year old twins in downtown Portland a week ago and we came up with this funny idea -- make Obama socks!  We just happen to have a good friend who makes world-class socks for Tour de France teams and the like and they can weave virtually anything into socks!!!  So the socks have CHANGE written in white on a blue band on the cuff, with a blue heal and toe, black socks with the face of Obama woven into them. 

If you are ready for a change, vote with your feet and quit running around the bush, and buy a pair at www.obamachangesocks.com  They made them Wednesday in Tennessee and we got a shipment Friday and they are so cool!
