Monday Fluff Again!

Monday Edition of Fluff Again

Whether you are new to Fluff Again, or an old pro, there is always a lot of curiosity of how this event works. Here is our outlook on Fluff Again.

The doors to Fluff Again open at 9 am. Our usual recommendation is that you are there right at 9 am, though this year we will be offering a discount hour between Noon and 1 pm on certain products (These products will be marked). At 11:45 am, we will require that all shoppers check out with their current products. After everyone is checked out, we will open up the shopping for discount products.

Another new addition this year will be the hospitality table at the entrance to the event. This table will have maps of the event, plus will be the registration table for the door prizes (check back Wednesday for a complete list!). The map is going to be a very important addition because it will allow you easily to figure out which tables to begin with. It will also give you details of the available vendors and where they are located.

One of most exciting additions this year is our new check out system. The system allows staff to scan your purchases using during check out, which should significantly decrease the check out time. On the consigner’s side, the new system has made tagging products easier. We hope these changes make Fluff Again even more enjoyable for everyone.

Finally, one of the last changes we have made is to change our check out methods to begin accepting credit cards. This year we will accept Cash, Checks, and all Major Credit Cards.

We hope you enjoy Fluff Again as much as we do! Oh and we are now over 1100 diapers! To celebrate this many diapers, we will giveaway a pair of Pre-Sale Passes (opens shopping to the holder at 8:30 am). In order to win these passes, comment on this post. In this comment, list the product you are looking for during Fluff Again!

Sunday Edition of Fluff Again

Welcome to the Sunday Edition of Fluff Again!

For those of you who don’t know, Fluff Again was the brain child of Jess. The first sale in Spring 2010 boasted almost 500 diapers. She always says that Fluff Again is her favorite season because it is a nice time for the cloth diapering and natural parenting community to come together.

As of this weekend, we already topped 1000 diapers, baby wearing, and other natural products that are going to be available on Saturday. I expect this number to keep growing this week as the final tagging occurs. Additionally this year, we have over 15 vendors that will be attending. In the days to come, we will be giving you a glimpse of the products and services that these vendors offer and maybe even some discount coupons to use during Fluff Again. Finally, we have had some generous donations for door prizes. A complete list of these prizes will be available later in the week.

Though the diapers are important to Fluff Again, the most important aspect to Fluff Again is the volunteers. These moms and dads not only help organize the products prior to and during the sale, but they are also available to help answer questions for Fluffy newbies. We would be lost without them. To thank our wonderful volunteers, we will be having a drawing for one lucky person who will win one of the NEW Fluff Again T-shirts and lunch! All volunteers will be entered to win (1 entry for every hour you volunteer, and double entries if you volunteer to help cleanup). We still have spots available, so head over to Fluff Again and register if you are interested in helping out!

Finally, check back this week for more introductions to our vendors! Plus, we maybe giving away a couple pre-sale passes (hint).

Fluff Again Fun

The count down has begun! Fluff Again is one week from today. In celebration of Fluff Again, we are going to spend the next week telling you about the vendors who are going to be attending, giving some sneak peaks on the super cute diapers that are arriving, and having some giveaways to celebrate.

Just a reminder, tonight is the last night to vote for your favorite t-shirt on the blog. And stay tune for more fun!

Love and Fluff~Robyn and Jess

T-Shirt Time

I am probably the least creative person ever, especially when it comes to designing things. Sadly, we are in need of new t-shirts for the store and for Fluff Again. I was discussing with Justin what the best t-shirt would be and he suggested a contest--which is totally unlike him because normally he rolls his eyes at us and tells us to do whatever we want. So, in honor of Justin's new found contest love, we are going to be hosting a t-shirt design contest.

Here are the details:

Contest dates: now until August 31st at midnight

What: Design new t-shirts for T2B and for Fluff Again

The most important thing, what do you win? The winning designers will receive a t-shirt sporting their design AND a $25 gift card to the store.

EDITED TO ADD: Vilate from Nifty Nappy has offered to turn the t-shirt into a diaper for the lucky winner. So, you can chose whether you want the t-shirt or a diaper!

The best part, we will let you guys pick the t-shirts through votes from now until September 10th. But, we won't be revealing the winning design until Fluff Again (just another reason to come visit us that day!)

How to enter: Create your design, post it to your blog, and then link the design here using a link back to your blog. If you can't link, or don't have a blog, have no fear, just email jess@toptobottombaby.com and I will add it to the links.

I'm STOKED to see the designs that everyone has in store :)

Just a couple more details (so you know what you are designing for!):

Fluff Again is our semi-annual consignment sale. We have lots and lots of used diapers and lots of fun playing with them. You can check out more details on our facebook page.

T2B Baby, well we are fun. Our last shirts were adorable and designed by Amanda last year. We just know we need some more. Check out our website and our facebook page for details on the store.

Have fun with the designs and don't feel like you have to incorporate the labels or anything specific. The more fun you have the better.

Finally, here are the logos for both if you are interested in using them:

~Love and Fluff, Jess and Robyn

Public Service Announcement

So much for a fun post! Actually, I am having a lot of fun with it, so I can't complain too much.

We wanted to let everyone know that in the next 1-2 weeks you may see changes in the website and we may experience unexpected down times. We are currently in the process of upgrading the site to a new cart, but we hope to make the transition as smooth as possible. Unfortunately, we will not be adding any new products to the old cart so if you aren't seeing a product you know we carry feel free to email Justin at info@toptobottombaby.com. He will be able to make place orders via email.

Also, if you aren't a fan, we recommend you head over and "like" FLUFF AGAIN on Facebook. Fluff Again has become Omaha's Largest Diaper Consignment Sale. We are frantically working to finish the final details and will be announcing everything hopefully in the next couple of days. We look forward to another wonderful sale!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love and Fluff~Jess and Robyn
