Crib Safety

Consumer Product Safety Commission has come up with a new safe sleeping video.  (click to view)

Reminder: Crib safety is crucial in making a safe environment for your little one!  Even if you used the crib for a previous child, please check the crib again if it is used for another child.

This is an easy way to maintain the safety of your child in a crib.

It's that time....

Yes, it's that time....time to start thinking about the holidays and decorating your home to enjoy with your family and friends.

We are now accepting holiday/ winter decorations for consignment in our housewares department, Cutiques.  Holiday decor is only accepted through Nov. 30th, so pull out those items soon (the sooner, the better).
As with all Cutiques drop offs, 25 items per day accepted between 10am and 3pm without an appointment.  All items must be in working order (batteries and light bulbs if needed) and in sellable condition. 


Holiday items that usually sell well:
  * vintage decor
  * unique items (handmade ornaments, quilts, jewelry)
  * unopened items for others to use as holiday gifts (bath set in a fragrance you don't use, candle you haven't burned, purse or tote you won't use.)
  * holiday kitchen and home decor (serving pieces, holiday dish sets, cake stands, platters)
  * outdoor decor (decorated wreaths, yard decor)


We have also just received a shipment of beautiful gift and home decor items from one of our vendors of new merchandise.  This stuff looks WONDERFUL!  I'm trying to restrain myself so it doesn't all end up at my house!  Great gift pieces for everyone from Grandmas to teachers to kids.  Stop in a check it out...more items being un-boxed this week.

crib update

As an update to our policies....Cutie Patutie's will no longer accept drop sided cribs for consignment.  Several manufacturers have had recalls of cribs relating to the mobile side of the crib disconnecting from the other sides, posing a falling and injury risk to infants.

Most manufacturers have changed the design of their cribs to reflect this new understanding of safety concerns.  Most new cribs now have all 4 sides stable (no movement) in the sides to prevent any injuries.

Please check the safety of any crib you put any child in, including shaking the crib to make sure it can withstand the force of infant trying to climb out or jump in it etc.

For a full list of recalls, including crib recalls, check your products against the recall list produced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, here.
