looking back @ new kids’ stores
Filed Under Places, Stuff | December 29, 2008
Amongst all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s also a time of appreciation and reflection. For us it’s been a big year as it was our first full year yoyomama-ing and we won the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award for BC and Territories which has meant lots of growth and juggling. So who do we appreciate? You, our smart, funny, inquiring and inspiring readers. And what are we reflecting upon? Your favourite stories from the past year, so from now until the New Year we’ll be counting down your top five faves from 2008.
EIO! Kids burst onto the rejuvenated Cambie street scene late last summer, and it’s already established a nice solid footprint. When we wrote about them they’d just opened and were carrying all sorts of yummy products, exactly the sort of things you’d expect if the owner of Beautymark teamed up with mother-of-two Tamara Taggart to open a store – which they did. And, true to their word they’re constantly adding new stock so there’s always a reason to stop by.
Some of our new favourites that they’re carrying include Corkel’s circus animals and German company nic’s wooden baby teether.
We will be on the lookout for more stores opening in Vancouver in 2009 and we love the creative ways some businesses are expanding their empires. Like local company Milk Factory, known for their performance gear for kids, which has just gone offline by opening a studio/shop in Gastown where you can shop by appointment only.
Here are other new stores that opened in 2008:
yoyomama will be back in 2009 with your daily hits of helpful, hip info on gear, tips & tricks, events and more, ’til then we wish you safe and happy holidays.
