It’s practically an unwritten rule that when you travel to the Hamptons with your kids, you visit the wonderful Children’s Museum of the East End. Those of you who have had the opportunity to enjoy this interactive playground know the value of a place that fosters the growth of creativity and imagination. With our help and yours, the non-profit organizations’ mission to inspire and evoke the curiosity of young minds can be furthered. What can you do to help? When you order online now through August 31, 2009 (Just in time for back-to-school shopping!), simply enter the code CMEE-BENEFIT at checkout and Estella will donate 10% of your sale to the museum.
For those of you who are in the area, don’t miss out on the CMEE trunk show on Thursday August 13th, where Estella and other vendors will be showcasing their goods and donating 10% of all proceeds!

A short while ago, the folks at google created a collection of the favorite places of celebrities, politicians, designers, etc. (aptly named “Favorite Places”) where they reveal the spots they love. Isaac Mizrahi, the charming designer and television personality who is known for his bold, colorful designs, chose Estella as one of his sources of inspiration, naming our knitted baby blankets as something he goes crazy for! See more favorite places here and our cozy baby blankets that have people raving here.

You love the way he looks when your little guy is all dressed up. He, on the other hand, has other ideas. Reach a happy compromise with this super sleek polo onesie by Lotus Springs, the favorite brand amongst eco-conscious babies and parents all over the country.

Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the new styles of clothes that come into the store box by box at the beginning of each season. However, I can’t help but feel a childish joy each time we get in a new shipment of goodies from Vilac, Imagiplay or the other wonderful Baby and Child toy brands that Estella carries. Opening up these fresh new packages of toys brings me back to the days of those precious single digit birthdays. Our unique selection of toys make incredible and thoughtful birthday presents, but, in the spirit of summer, they’re also great distractions for all those Summertime road trips. The “Are we there yet?’s” were so last year…
