Grand Re Opening



I can't believe its been seven months since "Daisy Baby & Mommies Too" became "Daisy Baby & Kids" and moved just five doors down. It has been a wonderful seven months. I have really had the opportunity to bring my vision to life. The new store feels so intimate and comfy. Its been so nice to greet each new parent to be and help them navigate the overwhelming world of Baby. My philosophy is to just keep it Simple. Make it Fabulous, but keep it Simple.

So not only has the new Daisy Baby changed locations, we have also changed our focus. We are still the best place in Bethesda to grab a new baby gift. We continue to carry our tried and true top baby gifts: Mary Jane & Johnny Trumpette socks, Little Giraffe Chenille Blankets & Sophie the Giraffe. However, we have also brought in some new favorites: A Little Annafaith Onez Cupcakes, AH Goo Baby Plush Changing Pads, and Wiggle & Scoot Burps & Bibs. My goal is try new baby gifts every month and bring something different into the store for you to check out.

Our new focus is also on DESIGN. I've been pulling together nurseries for almost six years now. So it is wonderful to spend most of my time sitting down with families bringing their nursery visions to life. My favorite rooms are the ones I get to create from soup to nuts. Together, I work with the parents to select the furniture, linens, glider, paint, lighting fixtures, window treatments, and flooring.

I have also been wanting to partner up for years with other local vendors to fill some gaps. Coe & Sons are my first source for rugs and carpet. Laurie Mcparland of Picture Perfect Windows creates the most beautiful window treatments in town. These are the connections that really put the finishing touches on the space.

The most important vision I had for the new Daisy Baby & Kids is to make it a place for everyone. I want people from all walks of life to be able to come in and find something they can purchase, be it a sweet gift for $15 or a solid US-made crib for $600, whether their style is super traditional or extremely modern. We have something for everyone.

I hope to see you at "A New Bloom," our upcoming grand re-opening celebration, from 12-2pm on Sunday, September 26.
