Springtime Growth is Coming Our Way!

Spring is in the air & that’s got us thinking about change! And, just like our stormy, blustery, and just simply crazy spring, we too are mixing it all up.

First step in this process is some cleaning, and this is where we need your help. See, one of our big changes is moving ourselves & toys to a new location. And, as fun as a new space can be, hauling all those wooden toys is not. That means that those wooden toys need to go.

So, from now to Tuesday, we’re giving everyone 25% off their toy purchase. If it’s in our showroom, it’s on sale. No minimum order. Time to get shopping! Online, use the code memorial11. Locals, you come down Sunday & Monday between the hours of 11 and 2.

See, change is good, for everyone!

 

Blocks on Wheels, too heavy to move, come buy it!

Papa Don’s Toys are Back, with something new….

There’s a lot of love out there for Papa Don’s wooden Threading Beads, and we are happy to announce that they are back in stock, as of today. Yippee! And, because we have had such good response to Papa Don’s handmade wooden toys over the past year, we’ve decided to add something new.

Introducing the Lawnmower Push Toy! No, it’s not a new idea, but is a beautiful, high quality version of the classic popcorn pusher that not only makes a beautiful tumbling noise while pushed, but is sure to outlast your toddler’s “mowing.” Now, that’s impressive!

Lawnmower Push Toy, handmade in the US by Papa Don's Toys, $37.

A Fun Time for the Whole Crew, starts Friday!

For all our local friends, especially those with kids out of school on Friday (hand raised!), be sure to check out the Family Expo, starting this Friday at noon.

This 5-star family event will include the traveling planetarium from the Pacific Science Center, bouncy houses, an interactive Science Alley, tumbling area for the little ones, and super local small businesses like us!

Nico & Zoe Toys will be there with a selection of our local, handmade felt food, hand-sewn sock animals & dolls, plus many of our one-of-a-kind wooden toys, and a few great deals with our end of the year clearance items too.

Friday, noon to 8 p.m.
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
At TRAC, in Pasco, WA.

Should be well worth your time!

Now, how did I miss that?

Yes, 2011 is here, and the whirlwind of the holidays is slowly coming to a close. Don’t get me wrong, I love how popular our toys get once November rolls around. It just tends to be a blur, and survival is the goal.

Now, the new year has brought us back around to paperwork, reorders, and taxes, and much more time to just sit & look around the showroom. What do we love, what could go on clearance, what was the surprise of the season, and what remained just as popular as ever? In was in this contemplation that I make such a great discovery!

One of our most popular baby shower & new baby gifts are our Wee Gallery Art Cards, which we pair with sleek, modern photo mobile by Kikkerland. Well, there must be a whole lot of baby going on these days, because we are finding ourselves out of the set, again. So, I’m looking through our cards to see just what we’ve got, and notice a little symbol in the corner that I don’t recall ever seeing there before.

Wow! Recycled paper? How did I miss that? Oh, right, our last reorder came in early November, and then I think I ate some turkey, and next thing I know, I’m toasting with some friends.

So, today, I’m so excited to announce that there’s even more reason to love Wee Gallery’s cool, modern art – Art Cards are now printed on recycled paper! Yippee! And, sorry, Wee Gallery if it has been that way far longer….

Off to that reorder – with naturally Black & White Animals and Photo Mobiles back in stock in just a couple weeks.

Art Cards + Mobile Gift Set, $25.

Now That the Eve Has Arrived…

Nico & Zoe, the kids & owners, would like to wish you a very merry day & end to the year! Thank you for all of your support of our unique, handmade & small production toys this year.

As 2010 ends, it’s time for us to clear out the toys of the past & bring in the new. Be sure to check out our Clearance Sale with many fabulous deals on those toys discontinued & our New Arrivals as we begin to reorder our ever popular arts & crafts by Harrisville, Rubbabu rubber vehicles, spring plush animals by miYim, and all of our wooden rattles by Camden Rose & Mossy Creek.

Benjamin Frog, $16.

Happy Holiday to You!

-Pam & Stacy.
