Denise at textile show in NYC...one step closer to fulfilling reservation orders

Thanks to CNN airing our story a few times since December, we’ve received hundreds of Reservations for our Little Reps. Thank you! We’ve spent much of the last few months working on the business and production plans and truly pleased with the progress we’ve made.

This is a copy of the letter we send out to those who have placed a reservation on our site.

Greeting from A Place Of Good,

Thank you for your recent reservation. We hope you enjoyed watching the CNN piece. As a result of the story, we have hundreds of reservations posted on the blog site. Friends, family and business people in our community have come together to help us work on a plan to turn the dream of The Representatives into reality.

Firstly, we are now officially calling them “Little Reps.” We hope you like the new name. We sorted through many versions but settled on this because it’s short, sweet and perfectly in keeping with Grace’s original story.

We hope to have the Little Reps available to you by no later than fall. Trust us when we share with you the sentiment that “it’s not as easy as it looks…” to produce a toy and tell their story. There are so many details that need to be handled in order to make sure that they will be as adorable as our first hand-made ones. (safe and affordable too!)

We invite you to post comments on our blog site or to e-mail us with suggestions or advice. Thanks for providing a springboard of enthusiasm for the creation of our Little Reps.

Best wishes,
Denise & Grace Garlow

In additional to all of the business details which need to be researched and planned,  we are keeping our creative selves happy with our story & picture book. Our working title is Little Reps, At Play in the World.
