More info about Night Rainbow

Ok, I wanted to answer some questions people have posted in comments about Night Rainbow. So, here goes:

Kalia asked if all the stripes will be the same width. Yes, they will be all the same width. Each stripe will be about 5 centimeters wide, or approximately 2 inches.

Sheri asked if there will be a pre-order or if she will have to wait for in-stocks. The plan at the moment is to get a pre-order going just as soon as everything is finalized with the people at Girasol, hopefully sometime next week. I want to make sure everything is squared away and set up before I start a pre-order, and I have not heard anything final regarding dates from Girasol yet because they had a holiday in Germany today and weren't in the office. Hopefully I will have more info very soon, and will be able to get the pre-order rolling early in the week next week. I will certainly keep you posted about that here. Sheri also asked when they will be available. The pre-order will run until June 20th, when the wrap will go into production. It will arrive at Pinkletink in the first week of August and will ship out to you all within a day or two of arriving with me. All orders ship USPS Priority Mail and will get to you within 3 days in the US or within about 6 to 10 for the rest of the world, putting the arrival date to you at early to mid August unless there is a delay somewhere along the line in production or shipping from Germany.

I also wanted to give people the heads-up that sometime in the next couple of weeks the Pinkletink website might be down for a few hours while I convert it all to the newer, better website that my super cool friend Mark is working on. We have a great design in the works and it's going to be much easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. I am hoping that will be up and running by early June-ish.

Well, I think that's all the news that's fit to print. I will be away this weekend, but I will be back by Monday evening and orders that come in over the weekend will ship Tuesday morning by 10:00. Have a good holiday weekend everyone!

Pinkletink Baby Girasol Exclusives


Hi Everyone,

I have been playing with bits of string a lot this morning and here is what I have come up with. This will be the first Girasol exclusive from Pinkletink Baby. As soon as I have everything set up I will set up a page for pre-orders.

This wrap will be called Night Rainbow. The weft will be the deep blue on the left of the picture.

Please post your comments to let me know what you think, and also sign up to follow the blog for updates on Night Rainbow.

Customs hassles resolved!

Well, Customs is holding my Girasol order and doesn't seem to want to give it up. It has been sitting at US Customs awaiting clearance for about 2 and a half days now, and it's still not budging. So, the Girasols are coming, but slowly! Meanwhile, my stock of Hoppediz wraps is mostly online now and available to order. CatBird mei tais and Freehand mei tais are also available now to order!

Keep your fingers crossed with me that Customs clears the Girasol order soon!

UPDATE!! They cleared the Girasol order through customs and it's here! You can order online now on my In Stock Girasol Page

so much coming in

Oh my goodness, have I got news for you! I have been scrambling about the last few days ordering up a storm... well, no actually I have orders in to the following companies and will have stock very soon from all of them. I have 3 types of mei tais on the way BabyHawk, Freehand, and Catbird. I have 5 types of wraps on the way, Storchenwiege, Girasol, Wrapsody Bali Baby Stretch, Wrapsody Bali Baby Breeze, and the Wrapsody water wrap for your summer beach fun! I will also have a few Storchenwiege ring slings coming in with the Storch wraps. And I also have BabyLegs leg and arm warmers coming in soon including the new BabyLegs Cool designs for summer. They are a sun resistant very light and cool mesh fabric to keep your baby sunburn-free without using so much sunblock. How cool is that! I am really excited about everything that is coming in over the next few weeks and I hope you will check back as my orders arrive to see what is available.

The other very exciting news is that Pinkletink will soon have a whole new look. A friend of mine is working on making the website look totally great and super easy to use. We want you to be able to find just what you are looking for as easily and as quickly as possible so that you can get what you want when you want it! I have every confidence that the new site will be great. It should be up in the next few weeks. Keep checking in!

Signs of Spring!

Hi everyone! My name is Nora and I am very excited to announce that I am the new owner of Pinkletink Baby! Meg, the previous owner, kindly turned the business over to me over the weekend and I am in the middle of getting the new website up and running. Until it is fully functional in a few days things will be a little messy around here. After a little Spring cleaning, though, a lot of new stock to get entered on the site, and some patience on your part while I learn the ropes a bit, I think Pinkletink will be better than ever!

Over the next few weeks I expect orders of Freehand Mei Tais, Babyhawk Mei tais, Catbird Mei Tais, Storchenwiege wraps, Girasol wraps, and hopefully a few other bits and pieces (I'll keep you posted.... I am working on a few other things being available here too!). Keep an eye out here for updates and I will try to keep you in the loop when new stock comes in!
