THE BELLE BOTTOM BABY BULLETIN
Well! Many of our little munchkins have gone back to school.
Make their day complete with beautiful tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories
from unique designers such as CC Clothing, Misha Lulu
& Rubbies. There are great new shoe styles and
boots from Pediped as well as there new Flex line for
toddlers. Check out the new edgy styles from Famous Stars & Straps (Travis
Barker’s line of clothing for kids). We also would like to
introduce you to new designs from Young Colors and the new line Nik Nak Clothing (beautifully
hand knitted in
Don’t forget our growing selection of Hair Accessories by Trendy
Clips.
Belle Bottom Baby is filled with beautiful infant apparel, the
cozy designs of Kissy Kissy, Baby Steps, CC Clothing
and many more. Come snuggle with our beautiful soft blankets from Little
Giraffe,
groovy diaper bags from Skip Hop, and Rockin
Baby Slings/Pouches & Hooter Hiders for mom.
Autumn has arrived and after all that time squishing our toes in
the sand, play dates and backyard barbeques, we have said goodbye to summer
(although you would never know it). So I decided now would be a good time to
come out with a list of some great ideas to welcome in the new season.
Go to a pumpkin patch and catch a hayride, start thinking about
how you’re going to carve that big pumpkin you just picked out.
Think about what you would like to be for Halloween.
Rake all of the leaves in your yard in to a big pile and then
jump in them (who doesn’t like doing that).
Go pick some apples at an orchard and bake a fresh apple pie.

THE BELLE BOTTOM BABY SOLE TRAIN
The Belle Bottom Baby Sole
Train was established to be a ‘track’ from our caring community to children
in need. There are so many kids in need here in our own backyard, and our goal
is simple, to provide shoes and comfort to those kids and their families in our
community.
Kids without shoes are
unable to attend school. Playing without shoes can subject them to injury and
infections.
Any one company or individual
can donate shoes to The Belle Bottom Baby Sole Train. We will gladly
accept any new or gently worn shoes.
The Belle Bottom Baby
Sole Train is a non-profit program and receives no government funding. We rely
solely on donations and the help of volunteers to do our work. Our hope is that
the donations of goods, services and time given by the community will allow The
Belle Bottom Baby Sole Train to make a difference in the lives of the families
and children we help.
To insure the Sole
Train program is able to sustain itself and offer shoes at no cost to the
people we help our program is staffed with volunteers from within the
community.
We are dedicated to the
hope that we can all come together to make a difference in the lives of others
through volunteerism, donations and commitment!
Please bring
your shoe donations to Belle Bottom Baby.
