Wow, we can hardly believe it! We’ve been open for 7 wonderful years and so many fantastic things have happened. We’ve met beautiful babies, adorable toddlers, big kids entering Kindergarten and growing up happy and strong! We’ve enjoyed getting to know wonderful parents, aunts and uncles, best friends and good neighbours. Thank you for this!

When we first opened on Commercial Drive in 2004, we were proud to be the first to introduce many new and amazing children’s products to Vancouver. We are so pleased to continue with many of these beloved lines and still introduce innovative, earth-friendly, well-made, beautiful, practical products for children. We are grateful that our reputation has continued to grow over the years and we were able to expand our little neighbourhood shop into the online world and then open a second community-minded shop in Port Moody for the Tri-Cities. Our mandate has always been to present products that are well-crafted and safe with extra emphasis on natural, organic and sustainable items for kids. We hope for your continued support and welcome many more years of introducing the best things for babies and kids to the Vancouver area and the rest of the globe.

And what fun is a birthday without a celebration? Please join us at either location this weekend (Friday Nov 4 to Sunday Nov 6, 2011 and receive 25% off in stock items (a few exclusions: Strider bikes, Early Rider bikes and Daily Tea). For web orders please use promo code: happy birthday when you summit your order.

Fondly,

FALL / WINTER CLOTHING + SHOES  30-50% OFF

We just love getting older! And 6 is such a great age…perfect for climbing trees, riding bikes, twirling around and having tons of adventures. But mostly, we just have fun at dandelion KIDS and we hope it shows! From the day we opened our doors on Commercial Drive, we knew that we wanted to create an environment that was always welcoming and enjoyable to visit, whether to shop for a gift or new clothes, or just to stop in and play for awhile. We love being part of this diverse and charming community, our lovely new community in Port Moody and a destination for those of you who make the trek from elsewhere around the Lower Mainland.

One of our favourite things is hearing how coming to our store has become a ritual for many of you, year after year, to select the most special gifts or pick up little treats on rainy days. It is a delight to see so many big happy kids, whose parents selected their first tiny outfits from us when they were just babies, now come in to chose birthday gifts for their friends and family. And as our clients have grown up, so have we by extending our size range from newborn all the way to 10 Years, increasing our selection of non-toxic, organic, fair trade and simply wonderful items and trying to make each new window display even better than the last.

Thank you for letting us grow with you!
