BIG HOLIDAY TOY SALE IN FULL SWING!

Unbelievably the Holidays are already upon us!  We Love Kids would like to invite one and all to come and peruse whatever resale toys we have at 90% off -- this is a posted special only, no coupons required.

Once you are here, don't forget to look over the Holiday outfits and dresses and SNOW GEAR which is really going fast.  Everybody wants to go to Mount Hood over the holiday break!

We surely do appreciate all of you and wish you the best of the season.  One of our family traditions is to go downtown on MAX from Lloyd Center and look at the decorations and the Big Tree in Pioneer Square.  After that we usually go have lunch somewhere and check out Macy's basement to try to see Santa!

See you soon!

KIDS GO BACK TO THE CLASSICS FOR FALL 2011

Early indications show that children's fashions will circle back around to the basics for the coming Fall season, WE LOVE KIDS learned from Earnshaw's and other kids magazines.  The trend is because so many parents are tired of buying things that go out of style, especially with our limited budgets these days, and also because younger children have been targeted to styles that imitate fashions of teenagers.  Many parents disapprove of the too short shorts and skinny jeans on little kids.

What "the classics" means is plaids, jumpers, blazers, Peter Pan collars and basically the styles that always hold up year after year.  Polo shirts and traditional dresses are always a safe bet.  Manufacturers will liven and update these traditionals with new stylish colors, fits and lengths. 

WE LOVE KIDS also has a great selection of Summer styles ready now for sizes 0 - 16 and also the maternity room is looking all spruced up!  Come over and see us between 10-6:00 Tuesday through Saturday.  Don't forget about sandals and swimsuits, as well as shorts and tank tops.  The good ones will go fast.  Coupons are very popular; be sure to get yours today!

Thank you,

I would appreciate any input you may have about these shoes.

WE LOVE KIDS CONSIGNER INFORMATION & AGREEMENT

Many people ask us about the consignment policy so in order to put it out there without making thousands of paper copies, we decided to put it into our blog.  Here you can review it at any time or tell your friends.

We Love Kids

Consigner Information and Agreement

Bringing items in:

            I will make an appointment by calling (503) 659-4577 ahead of time.

            Clothes will be clean, in-fashion, smoke-free, not torn or stained, and neatly folded or on hangers.   I will bring in about 20-35 items at a time, in the correct season, and I understand that the manager reserves the right to accept only the items appropriate to the shop’s merchandise mix, size ranges carried and in good condition.  This applies to furniture and equipment as well.

             I will fill out the needed information and retain the sales code issued to me.

Preparing the items for sale:

            I understand that tagging and logging can take up to 30 days and that plenty of lead time needs to be allowed before items hit the sales floor.  I also realize that items will only be put out according to the appropriate season, generally Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter.

Selling process:

            I understand that the consignment rate is 50% of the selling price.  The manager sets the prices of the items.  WE LOVE KIDS reserves the right to advertise sales, coupon specials and other promotions which may affect the final selling price.  It is my responsibility to encourage friends and family to visit the shop -- in other words, to GET THE WORD OUT!

Payment:

            Consignment checks will be mailed on the 10th of February, 10th of May, 10th of August, and 10th of November and cover all commissions earned during the previous three months.  Commissions under $5.00 may be held until the next pay period.  It is up to me to report any change of phone or address.

Length of agreement:

            Merchandise must be left for at least six months to allow for an adequate selling time on the floor.  Items which have no season will remain out until they sell. If items are found to be stained, run or defective, they may be donated to a charitable organization by WE LOVE KIDS at the time the problem is noted.  If you wish to pick up unusable merchandise, please so state at the time you sign this agreement.  After six months, seasonal changes may cause clothing items to be put into storage, but items continuing on the sales floor will be commissionable as usual.  We do not do anything with the items except try to sell them.  They are still your items and you may come to look for them at any time.  We take our role as your agent very seriously and consider it our fiduciary responsibility to keep track of everything.  Please direct any questions on policy to Susan Love, owner, at (503) 659-4577 Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am to 6:00 p.m.

I have read the above agreement and understand the conditions:

SIGNATURE: _______________________________________       DATE: ___________________________

NAME: ____________________________________________          6 MOS.: ________________________

ADDRESS: _________________________________________       PHONE: _________________________

___________________________________________________       WLK CODE: ______________________

WE LOVE KIDS HAS A SNOW DAY OR TWO

This morning we woke up and it was snowing all over.  Since North Clackamas School District No. 12 cancelled all school, we will not be open either.  Many of our customers drive from areas with too many hills and even though Milwaukie may seem less snowy, it is not safe for people to be driving in other parts of the city.

Friday, February 25th, may be even icier, so if the schools are closed, we will be closed too.

If you have expiring coupons, we will honor them for two extra days or however many days we are closed, even into next week if need be.

Be safe and keep warm!
