Our tie-dye artists have been dying our fine line of quality baby clothing for years.  We count ourselves lucky to continue to enjoy success with our customers. Many a tie-dyed baby have we dressed over the past 14 years.

 The light bulb finally went off and we thought it might be fun to include tie-dye for our dear four-legged friends.  People love their pets.  They give us unconditional love, lower our stress level and just make us happy and put a smile on our face. Why not deck them out in our bright, vibrant and very fun tie-dye.   So this is a new step that we are taking.  We have decided to offer tie-dyed tanks for the male gender and lettuce-leaf-edged tees for the female types.  And just in case someone isn’t quite ready to don clothing on their furry friend, we decided to add a bandana.  Who doesn’t like a little splash of tie-dyed color on their pooch.

Like our baby tie dye clothing, we have selected nice 100% cotton fabric for our tanks and tees.  This fabric breathes easily and fits comfortably.   We are in the process of creating our logo and our division name.

 We at Tiny Bundles have remained dogless for the past 3 years.  Diogi (our spelling for the word “DOG” - her name) was our liver-spotted Dalmatian.  We had the good fortune and pleasure of having her in our lives for 16 years ~ that’s a lot of years for a larger dog.  Our sweet gal gave us all she had and then some.

 When we reflect back on our tie-dye history, we find it interesting to note that when we had a baby, we started a company selling tie-dyed baby clothes.  We kind of did things in reverse this time.  We started to offer tie-dye for dogs and then we got a dog.  We now have a live model.  Her name is Mimi and we adopted her. She is a rescue dog.  Mimi is 1 1/2 years old. She is part Shih Tzu and part Terrier.  She is a dear and a love.   And so now we venture on this new doggy tie-dyed adventure. We are excited and hope that you are too!

For right now, our tie dye dog clothes is sharing a website with our tie dye baby website at  www.tiedyebabyclothes.net.Please come and visit us at this website and when you arrive on the homepage, click on the tie-dye doggy clothes link.  Thanks for reading this!!!!!

Hopefully soon we will have good stuff to report about this new addition to our Tiny Bundles family.    

As we picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves off from 2008, we find ourselves with a brand new slate, a brand new attitude and brand new ideas.

These economic times have caused us to become quite creative with our marketing efforts.  We started to look around and discovered that we had a treasure trove of tie-dyed goods ~ extras from orders made, new colors and amongst them some of our best sellers.  So we had a little bit of this and a little bit of that just hanging around.  Then the light bulb went off.

Why not bring all of these unique treasures to you, the consumer.  But let’s bump it up a notch and offer these finds to you at our wholesale prices.  It doesn’t get any better than this.  So we created www.tiedyebabyclothes.net ~ our overstocked treasures website.  Stop by and visit and see what our site is all about.  You will be glad you did.

Tinybundles.com is our wholesale website and has been since 1997.  Since we had decided and did create a retail website for our tie-dye, why not do the same thing for our Applique Collection. 

So that’s what we did.  We created www.takemehomebabyclothes.com as our retail  Appliqué Collection website. 

Our take on business has shifted from wholesale only to include the retail marketplace as well.  What we have discovered is that we really enjoy interacting with our customers, finding out what they like and getting their direct input. 

It’s interesting as we reflect on the ebbs and tides of days gone by.  When we started business back in 1996, we were only selling retail.  A few years later, we decided to take the plunge and sell wholesale only.  We have tested the waters on both sides. 

And now, we find ourselves in the position of promoting both wholesale and retail. Although business has not been booming as it has in the past, we do feel confident that by continuing to offer fair prices and wonderful quality that good times are ahead!

 Our smiley face onesie has always been a big seller for us.  Babies put a smile on your face just by their very essence, dressed in this little number makes for twice the fun.  We think this smiley face beautifully tie-dyed onesie gives you a double reason to smile. 

It’s the only face we have offered for years.  But, it’s no longer on its own - a solo act.  We have added two more faces.  Babies are cute when they are awake but adorably angelic-looking when they are sleep.  That’s why we created our sleeping face onesie.  You see it and we think it makes you go “ohhh, how sweet.” 

A winking baby?  We’ve yet to see one but can imagine how cute it would be in a charming kind of way. So we decided to create this little number.  We think you would be hard pressed to find this tie-dyed trio in the marketplace.

Just think how fun and unique it would be to gift one of these little-faced onesies to that sweet baby on its way or one that has just arrived.  We also offer these great designs on our lush, cotton tee-shits as well.

 In an effort to test out the retail waters, we have added a few of these onesies to our website at www.tiedyebabyclothes.net at our wholesale prices! Please click on the above image to enlarge it to get a better look.

 What a happy time it is for us!  We are so proud to announce that our lovely, unique tie dye is now available to the retail marketplace, online at wholesale prices and ready for purchase. 

You might be asking yourself why this is such a big and wonderful event for us.  Up to this point, we have been unable to offer our tie dye to the marketplace due to the cost effectiveness of the tie dye process. Back in the day, we would build up inventory by dying up a particular color (say for example, our ever-popular fuchsia heart design) so that we would have goods available for immediate delivery. However, we found that if stores did not order that color our profit was sitting right there on our warehouse floor.  Not only that, the white garments that we used to dye that color were now no longer available to dye the colors that people were interested in.  It was a lose/lose situation all the way around.  

So we had a collective meeting of our tie dye minds and decided that the only way we could make this work was to apply minimum orders to those stores who ordered from us.  Our tie dye artists decided that 12 was the magical number - the number of garments needed to dye up a single dye lot.  And so that became and continues to be the norm with our wholesale business.  The retail buying public does not buy in groups of 12.  Therefore, we were unable to offer our ever-so-popular tie dye on a retail basis.

But we found a way to do so. We were taking a look at our inventory and discovered what we like to call “a treasure trove of tie-dyed garments” . . . . . . dyed garments that had been made as extras for orders, samples of brand new colors we offer and tie-dyed garments that happen to be among our best sellers.  And then it hit us, why not offer these beautiful, often one-of-a-kind gems, to the retail public.  But wait, it gets better.  With further thought, we decided to offer these overstocked treasures at our WHOLESALE PRICES!  We think it is a win/win situation for all of us.  The consumer gets a lovely treasure at a truly wonderful price and we get the great opportunity to offer our tie-dyed garments to the public. 

We have designed this site to be your “go to website” when you are looking for that unique and original and really cool gift as well as finding a little something, something for your own sweet baby.We will continue to stock it with one-of-a-kind treasures as they become available.  You will find tie-dyed outfits that you will not find in the stores anywhere.  That’s a promise!

This is where you will see our creative energies blossom into full swing.   This is our tie-dye artists’ haven. Come visit us and see what we are talking about.  Our web address is www.tiedyebabyclothes.net.  We welcome any comments or suggestions you might have on our new site.          

We love babies . . . . all babies so much so that our wonderful design staff, headed by Karen Jacobson, created an applique awarding every brand new bundle as the “Best 2008 Baby.”  

Because we wanted this applique to be perfect (just like those precious babies wearing it), much thought and time was invested in this project of love.We think of babies as being soft and sweet. So we thought we would use a soft felt fabric for the applique in those ever-so-lovely and traditional shades of pastel blue and pastel pink. We wanted to add a bit of shine to the award, so we selected the subtle brilliance of a blue and a pink faceted-metallic rhine stud which we think nicely frames the beautifully embroidered “2008″ in the center of the applique.

And we opted for the shape of an award-winning ribbon minus the ribbon part, mostly to prevent fraying of the ribbon and to keep the integrity of the applique after several washings.”Best 2008 Baby” is substantial in that it is constructed out of two pieces of nice, thick felt finely stitched together with a running stitch. Why you can even say it is 3 dimensional in that the rhine studs are raised ever-so-slightly from the applique.

We are very proud of this finely constructed, well-thought-out unique applique that, up to this point, has not be found in the marketplace.We envision this to be our signature applique. Not only does this little treasure mark the year of sweet baby’s birth, but it is meant to be kept as a keepsake to be placed amongst the collection of precious things to be appreciated and remembered for all time. 

We would love to hear your comments, input or opinions on our new “Best 2008 Baby” applique.  Would you please share your thoughts with us?
