Dear DEAREST Supporter,
I'll be honest, I sat down to do the social media and email content for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Small Business Saturday - I searched Pinterest for the most fitting quote I could find - about small business. The cliche 'when you support a small business, you support a dream' appeared over and over, and whilst it is true, it is not a good enough depiction. So I decided to tell my own definition of Small Business.
With a small business there is no corporate office - making emails, doing visual floor plans, buying for next season with an endless budget, and a million dollar insurance backing. Furthermore, there is no computer system that suddenly imports its contents into your system, priced and ready to sell online. There is no person you've never met putting a curated representation of your business onto social media, or managing your website to accurately represent your current inventory, in an organized way. It isn't a team of fifteen graphic designers and marketing professionals putting emails together, either.
A small business is however, a corporate office, that often has our own children running around it, growing with our dreams. A momma bringing her child with her, because we were covering for a 'staff' that feels a whole lot more like family. A group chat, that literally never quits. We grow together, professionally and personally, and I mean, we could all write a book on each other, and the inside jokes we share.
All of this to say, these relationships, this business, and the dreams we have, wouldn't be possible without you, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
xoxo, PNB
AMEN, to all the crazy things that happened, to make me who I am, I say AMEN.
Three years ago, The Fabulous Torture blog did a piece on us, there is something so nostalgic, about looking back on how we've grown, changed, and stayed the same. Some of the brands from this piece, have changed quite a bit, but the core values that made us Pink N Blue Avenue, have stayed the same. Working in an industry like this, is incredibly rewarding, and I've made quite a few friends under four feet tall, lol. GiGi being one of them, scroll to the bottom to see Gigi, and how she's grown.

"The relationship between a mother and daughter can only truly be understood by mother and daughter. They can go from laughing to fighting in a split second, but one thing always remains constant..their unconditional love for one another. Imagine taking this crazy relationship into the business one day, and this is why Gulia started her family business, a children’s boutique called "Pink N Blue Avenue". Pink N Blue Avenue is a destination store for parents who want to go beyond the internet to see and touch merchandise. They provide uniquely precious pieces that are hard to find. Pink N Blue Avenue carries many amazing designers at an affordable price... just to name a few JoyFolie, Mustard Pie, Mayoral, Pixie&Girl, B&B, Pernickety, Jellycat and Sun San Salt Water.
Working with your child is rewarding on so many levels. Not only do you have a front-row seat to their growth, but also have their companionship and share their life to a degree that would make many mothers envious. Gulia is inspired by her precious daughter GG everyday, and is hoping that maybe one day GG will follow her footsteps in fashion, or maybe even take the store over.
One of our main missions at Pink N Blue Avenue is to provide toys, clothing, and products with a purpose. Heres a few of our favorite things when it comes to entertaining these little Einsteins of ours...
