Ho, Ho, Ho in 78 degree weather….

December 11th, 2007

It is a mere 14 days until Christmas…can you believe it? It’s quite hard to get into the holiday spirit when it is 78 degrees in Greenville, SC!
Lots of Reindeer, Santa and Princesses have been flying out our doors to make their way to little girls around the world! We are certainly happy and thankful to be able to help out the “Big Guy” this time of year.

On behalf of PrissyPoofs and all the staff here, we wanted to wish you, our valued customers and fans of the “Poofs”, a fantastic holiday season! We hope that you are able to spend it with the ones you love and enjoy the peace and joy of the season!

Come back after the New Year and see what great things we have in store for 2008!

Until next time,
Laura

Now Presenting….

August 21st, 2007

As some of you may have noticed…we have debuted our fantastically fabulous TWO new “Poofs”!!!!! With much anticipation, PrissyPoofs is proud to announce the newest of our “Poof” family…
The LuckyPonyPoof will win a prize at every show! It is quite fabulous with the brown tulle tutu with attached horsey tail and horsey headband with ears and show flowers!
The GeniePoof is jingly, hot pink, and will be every little Princesses dream! The hot pink tulle tutu has a great hip scarf that overlays and can also be worn seperately as a whole different look! The GeniePoof comes with the matching Genie headband!
The hip scarfs are also a new addition to our Apparel page! This great accessory can be added over jeans, shorts, a PerfectlyPlainPoof, or even a nightgown for the insistent Princess who can’t sleep without it!
Coming soon also will be additions of leotards, onesies, t-shirts, and oh-so-fabulous tights, capris and leggings!
We have so much excitement going on we just can’t stand it!
We can certainly tell you all are planning ahead for a fun and festive Halloween. We are thrilled to be part of celebrations all over the globe!
Starting next week we will be bounding into our weekly specials! Each week we will offer another WOW! discount on PrissyPoofs and SpookyPoofs, even some free shipping and offering discounts on all SpookyPoofs for ordering early! Stay tuned and make sure you look for the coupon codes posted on the front page!
We wish you all an easy transition back into the days of school, after school activities, homework, not to mention your other million errands that must be fit in while everyone is AT school :)
Until next time,
Laura

82 Days until Halloween…Do you know what your little goblin will be?

August 10th, 2007

I just sat down and realized it’s a mere 82 days until Halloween. And boy, do we have some exciting things happening around here! We are getting set to debut 2 new styles next week on the site…can’t spill the beans yet but one is quite jingly and pink and the other one is sure to be a hit with our little farm animal lovers!
Deborah and I get asked alot what are our most popular styles and which ones are our favorites. As Halloween comes our way, I thought I’d share some of my favorites. Our all time best seller since our beginning 7 years ago is our LadyBugPoof…and I must admit, it is one of my favorites! In a close 2nd would be our ChickeePoof - this one is a must for our little fans, the feathers galore leave little ones squealing in delight! Last year when we debuted our DalmationPoof, it quickly stole my heart as well. You certainly can’t go wrong with any of our PrissyPoofs but consistently year after year the following styles are the picks of little goblins across the country:
The FairyPoof, PrincessPoofs, DamselPoof, BunnyPoof and CowGirlPoof.
As you begin to plan with your little Princesses or choose for them remember that you will be the hit of all the Halloween parties when you choose a PrissyPoofs or SpookyPoofs costume this season. The best thing about our “Poofs” is they aren’t just for Halloween…you will get years of dress-up fun with your choice!
As always, if you have any feedback about styles, questions for me or Deborah, fun ideas about how to pair your “Poof”, let us know!
Until next time,
Laura

Vacation, Inventory, 4 weeks to school…

July 20th, 2007

OK, so I’m writing a post within 3 days of my last one…YEAH! I feel a strange calm as I get ready for vacation. I actually have the kids already packed, unbelievable…have washed every bit of laundry in my house, including sheets, WOW…even been to the grocery store to stock up on some snack items for the trip, as well as the must-haves before arriving to our destination! It’s not often that I feel this put together and I know it’s just a matter of time before that feeling goes by the wayside, so I’m enjoying it for now.
Next week if you need us, not only will Deborah and I both be on vacation, our warehouse will be doing inventory getting ready for the Halloween craziness. So please be patient if you need us next week and know we will be back in full swing the first week in August!
Driving to pick up one from Baseball Camp and one from Girls on the Run camp today, I suddenly realized that school starts in 4 weeks!!! How has the summer screamed by like this! It is now my ultimate goal to do nothing scheduled for the rest of the summer and enjoy our last few weeks, I hope you each do the same.
I would like to thank all of you that respond and let us know what you think about our site, our “Poofs”, and the Posts. As you who respond know, we certainly make it worth your time with great discounts! Keep them coming…
No posts for a week, inventory done when we return, school supplies list waiting in the mail when we come home, but more importantly…no driving around like a mad women next week, lots of sitting, and I might even read a whole book from beginning to end :)
Until next time,
Laura

‘Tis the Halloween season!

July 16th, 2007

Whoa, I know my last post was Time Goes by toooooo fast….well, I sure guess it’s true since I haven’t written a post in a couple of weeks! My goal is for Deborah and I to write posts every couple of days, great to set goals, sometimes hard to keep them :)
Around our offices this time of year, things really start to heat up! We get the uneasy feeling that a big wave is coming and it’s kind of like being pregnant! Each year…you remember all the great things and the hard things seem to pass with time. Well, now it’s here and we are getting ready for our mad Halloween rush! We are expecting several ads to hit in the next few weeks as well as our wonderfully faithful customers who come back year after year for a fantastically fabulous “Poof”! They want to make sure their little goblins are the hit of the Halloween Block Party, which of course, they always are!
This year we are SO excited about 3 new styles debuting in the next few weeks. BIG SECRET, SHHHHHH, make sure you check frequently for upcoming debuts as well as our weekly specials starting in August and running until Halloween.
We love, love, love to get emails from you. Feel free to email me direct at laura@prissypoofs.com if you have new “poof” ideas or have a question about our products or services. We also love to provide “Poofs” to local, regional, or national tv shows looking for the perfect new Halloween costume alternative. If you know of a show in your area and send us info, you can receive a great coupon code for fabulous savings on a PrissyPoof of your choice!
As always, looking forward to hearing from you and until next time!
Best,
Laura

The days go by toooooooooo fast….

June 28th, 2007

Seriously, I need a way to slow down time, or my life, or my kids days…it seems like we are up in the morning only to run all day long and fall into bed at night wondering why I didn’t complete most of the things on my list of to-do’s! In true summer fashion, we are staying up way too late, eating all the wrong (quite unhealthy) foods, having marathon spend the night parties with one or both the kids friends…sometimes I just want to have a full blown 2 year old temper tantrum in the middle of work! Then, in the midst of all the craziness…life seems to be full of the smallest of blessings! Catching lightning bugs at 10pm and naming them, a true and completely un-expected thank you for the 4 games of putt-putt that the kids got to play, that sweet voice proclaiming - I am the best Mommy in the world! It’s then that I realize how blessed I am and take the time to revel in the craziness that will fade away all too soon to a very quiet and simple household wondering about the good ol’ days with the kids.
I hope that today in the midst of your craziness you experience that moment that gives you a new breath of fresh air to continue on your journey!
now off to the Swim meet :)

The lonely Mother……

June 21st, 2007

Laura is out of commission for a few days so here I am–Deborah. I am the behind the scenes girl who does all of the jobs no one likes–accounting, inventory, etc—-the strange thing is I actually do like them!
Anyway, I have 2 boys who are at camp this week, one for the first time. I finally have a week to spend doing all adult things: reuniting with my husband, actually having a clean house for more than 5 minutes, girls’ night, etc. You would think that I would be having the time of my life. However, it is strangely quiet at my house, and honestly I am much more comfortable in the total chaos that the boys create. I guess it is true–the grass is always greener—until you actually reach the grass and realize it has the same weeds you have.
Anyway, I am on the final countdown–pick-up day is tomorrow.
I am sure that I will give them a HUGE hug and then sterilize them from head to toe!
Deborah

Don’t you love…?

June 20th, 2007

Don’t you love finding out a great new website, or a new way to do a simple task, something that you think you are the first to know about? Well, I do…certainly I’m not the first but I love sharing with my friends great new stuff…today, while reading thru one of the many on-line subscriptions I receive for the office I found an awesome new website featured at www.ladieswholaunch.com! It’s called Sugar Publishing - www.sugarpublishing.com, not only do I love the name of the founder Amy Sugar, the way she’s capitalized on her name and created lots of great go-to sites is amazing! All while being a mom too! Check out her site and let us know of other great sites your fans of…we want to be in the know too…don’t we all!

Can it really be the middle of June?

June 14th, 2007

Wow!
I can’t believe that it is the middle of June and Father’s Day is fast approaching. School ended in a flurry of parties, end of the year programs, bags of papers being sent home from school, and then WHAM!!!! Summer is here and I’m trying to hold on to the lazy days of summer, if there are any! In the midst of trying to work and keep some consistency to our schedule, I’m trying to pack an 8 year old boy and a 9 year old girl for sleep-away camp this Sunday! Deborah and I both are sending our children to the same camp this year and at the same time! What will we do with ourselves :)
Deborah and I want to hear from you! We’ll be quite lonely next week with our houses empty. The first 20 people to make a comment on our new blog will receive via email a discount coupon code for a savings of 25% off your next purchase! C’mon, give us some love and let us know your thoughts about being a mom, sending someone off to camp, what your best Father’s Day gift is this year, balancing the many hats of work and mommy-hood!
We’re waiting anxiously, don’t leave us hanging!
Stay tuned for more…and on top of all this fun…great new styles debuting in the coming weeks!
Best,
Laura
