Something big for so many so small. This blog is the first step in helping shoppers find goods that are not only sold locally, but also made locally. Specifically, links to business that manufacture their own baby and children clothing, gear and toys. My goal is to have a web site directory of these business with features that will make finding such businesses easy. And more, more, more!
Since becoming a mother, I started reading labels oh-so closely and became more and more curious about where things were made and by whom. It has become something of a scavenger hunt, looking to see if the label says, "Made In the USA" or even more specific, like "Made in Beautiful West L.A." As I shopped at the stores in my own town--Denver and Boulder--I quickly realized that these businesses are often started by new parents, particularly mothers who have been inspired to create quality merchandise. The name for this blog was in part inspired by the fact that these are "wee" businesses making things for "wee" ones.
Ultimately I have combined my curiosity--where are these made? how? by whom?--with a strong desire to support local businesses whenever possible.
I look forward to adding you and your business to my blog, as well as getting comments from those who visit and find a wonderful new shop or product.
