friday update

we have a few pairs of front pocket karate pants being auctioned off today. graphite will be our charity auction this week for Philabundance.org . also, check out the wool tote lottery - if you've missed our stocking times in the past, here's your chance to order a tote! colors are limited, please read the entire listing before entering.
we would like to extend our thanks to everyone who hung in there last Friday for the stocking. the server crashed and orders were lost or oversold. this mainly happened with our best selling grey karate shorts, graphite & organic natural covers. if you were refunded and would still like those items, please send me an email and i'll do my best to fill the requests. this is for refunded orders only & is not an open call for customs. please put your order number in the subject line.
sustainablebabyish|sloomb will be moving off Hyena Cart in about a month. we'll still be there for specialty items and auctions, but due to the crashing issues we had last friday, we felt this was necessary. this is an exciting move, and though we are going to miss weekly stockings with everyone, there will be a new home for all of our products. Jen from jenuine products is working on the website right now. can't say enough about her - she is talented, creative & cool - great to work with on so many levels.
the sherpa prefolds are now out there making a lot of little ones cozy! if you missed one last week, they're up again today, along with a few doublers.
have a great week!

get your spring wool!

finally, finally finally! the spring wool is here and available at 4pm EST, save for the one pair of bodensee karate pants that snuck by me. congrats to the one who found them! you'll find a bit of everything today, except for flats. we are out of those for at least three weeks. the organic sherpa prefolds & a few fitteds are up--fitted totes are shipping this weekend. the photo contest is running very late - expect to see it soon! i made a lot of covers in all sizes this time, hoping that there will be enough for everyone. there will be more again within the month, then it's on to SUMMER '08 ~ we have a lot of gorgeous things planned for next season!


the sustainablebabyish FAQ has been updated, so please read it when you have a chance. many questions are answered there. of course, if I missed something, please feel free to email with any questions.

spring color

this week has been all about wool, spring, and color. while we all wait for these, sustainablebabyish will stock both 97/3 and organic covers, karate shorts and our *fabulous* karate pants in our new spring palette within the next two weeks. we were hoping to have the fitteds and sherpa in by this Friday, but it looks like they will be in next week.
today we have a few more wool totes and the last of the flats for at least a month. also, check out our Philabundance charity auction for another awesome pair of our front pocket karate pants!
