Chronicle your 9-month journey by recording the most memorable moments of your pregnancy in the Bump for Joy pregnancy journal from Studio Oh! 

This beautifully illustrated 144-page journal is arranged by trimester and features a variety of writing prompts, checklists and fill-in-the-blanks PLUS plenty of space for tracking your growing bump, displaying your ultrasound images and planning for your baby's arrival.

Bump for Joy is just one of Studio Oh's collection of seven Guided Journals that provide a meaningful space for introspection and inspiration.  Designed in full color with original illustrations throughout, each journal features well-thought-out prompts to foster reflection and bring the "extra" to "extraordinary."

Want to see more?  Say the word and let's make plans to meet so I can show you the whole collection - and all the other great items from Studio Oh!

Okay retailers - remember last fall when you told me to remind you about San Diego Hat in the spring?  Guess what!  It's spring and I'm here to remind you!

If you're new to the line and wondering where to start, I have drawn up a couple of worksheets to give your order focus and allow you to edit and create an assortment that works for your store. 

Some things to consider and help you focus:

• Is SPF protection important to your customers?
• Do you prefer bright, preppy colors or more earthy, neutral tones?
• Is it important to your customer that many of the ribbon hats are crushable and easy to pack?
• Do you prefer hats with embellishment or do you prefer simple shapes and details?

Let's chat (it doesn't have to take long) about what is important to you, and I will help you put together an assortment to get you started.  The minimum order is only 12 hats, but you will want more than that as these turn quickly.

Oh - don't forget there are hats for men & kids, as well!

This may be the product introduction I'm most excited about for spring - the Aura luminary candles from Vance Kitira!  These look like glass containers filled with wax, right?  What if I told you they are all wax?  Believe it!  Vance applied his magic touch to create an outer surface that looks and feels like weathered glass.  Like his other luminaries, they come to life - and are even more beautiful - when lit.

You can't tell the size from the photo, but each one is 4.25 x 4.75" so it's a substantial candle.  They are unscented (so great for entertaining) and available in the 4 colors you see above.

I'm anxious to show you these and his other new introductions at the winter markets - or in your shop.  You can find Vance in his usual places - #1328 in Americasmart building 2 (Atlanta) or #1002 at the Javits Center (New York).
