I'm Here!!

I Know I Haven't Been On Here In A While....I've Been Crazy Busy. I Hope You All Had A Fabulous Thanksgiving:) I Spent Time With My Family Which Is Always A Great Thing! I Am Spending Alot Of Time In The Store Fixing Some Mistakes I Made In The First Few Months Of Becoming The New Owner! I Think Maybe I Was Concentrating Too Much On Making New Friends And Not Enough Time On The Inventory I Was Excepting. This Is A Fabulous Store And My Number One Priority Is To Keep It That Way! So If You Stopped by In The Last Few Months And Found That Things Were A Little "Different" Don't Lose Faith In The Store I Am Working Very Hard To Maintain The Quality Of The Inventory!! Hope To See You All Soon And Please Feel Free To Give Feedback...It Is Always Appreciated!!

Holt Hometown Parade...

We're giving away $5 coupons at the Holt Hometown Parade Saturday August 29th!
To get yours, just hang out at the parade which starts at 11am. One of the best spots to watch is the corner of Holt & Aurelius Rd.

We're also giving away a fall wardrobe! To enter the drawing, visit Angels & Rascals.
You only have a few weeks, so don't miss out.

MATERNITY SALE - - - We've got some absolutely ADORABLE maternity clothing right now. The styles are so fabulous, people won't even know you're wearing "maternity" clothing. The sale isn't to get rid of the ugly leftovers, it's to promote our maternity section! It's a best-kept secret of some lucky moms-to-be...and we want all of you to know :)
Our prices are really great - Old Navy jeans for under $10, Motherhood tops, Mimi dresses, Olian blouses - all the up-to-date styles at 30% off. Only until September 12th. Shop early!

See you around...

Goodies Galore...

Oh how I love a full store...and right now we're brimming with fabulous Fall clothing. New inventory hits the floor every single day - which is why you need to stop in weekly, right?!
You never know what you'll find...

For example - - today we received a Play Yard XL - snap it up before it's gone - they don't last long!

Do you need girls size 6 jeans? We have LOTS!

We even put out some winter outerwear - I know, I don't want to think about it either...
Just think though, if you get your winter goods at Angels & Rascals, you'll have more money for, well...how about new snow tires? Ok....yep, that was another bad thought. Sorry. I'm too practical, I guess :)
Anyway, I've seen plenty of Columbia, Lands' End and L.L.BEAN coming to the register. We've got some little boots out too - smaller sizes like 4-8.

Oh gosh and I can't forget to mention the ADORABLE girls size 2T clothing that one of our new sellers brought last week. She had the best brands and everything is like NEW - Baby Gap, Gymboree and some boutique brands too.

Happy Shopping :)

New this week...

Well, since I'm here until the end of August I thought I'd squeak in a few more blog posts :)

New this week - - Lots of fall clothing in all sizes, including some cute boy shirts and jeans.

Expecting a baby this fall/winter? Do you have a car seat cover? Well if you don't, we've got one from last season's Lands' End catalog that is like new and it's top-of-the-line in quality and function. It doesn't just cover the top of the car seat, it goes inside the seat and has a place for the straps to go through so the baby is enclosed in super soft fleece and zipped in all the way around. This style is particularly nice for two reasons, you don't have to bundle your baby like a mummy because they're snug in their little cocoon, and your car seat stays nice and clean.

Need a baby swing? I believe we've got FIVE right now - a few full size (like the papasan style) and a few travel/take along size.

If you are looking for a small stroller, we've got two.

Are you a Britax fan? Want the very best toddler car seat you can buy? We have a Britax Marathon seat (in excellent condition) priced at less than 50% of retail, and a Britax Decathlon (like new - save over $100 off retail). I've had two Britax seats and let me tell you, they're the best...they install solid as a rock and last forever.

Lets see...what else is new (that I can remember!):
** A very cool Fisher Price pirate ship
** Patty Potty training potty seat, and underpants (endorsed by Dr. Phil)
** Fisher Price Entertainer (deluxe exersaucer with music, 3 different ways to use on the floor, for learning to stand, etc)
** Jogging Stroller
** TinyLove activity gym/floor mat (like new and half of retail!)
** Baby supplies like wipe warmers, brand new bottles, brand new Huggies & Pampers diapers, a newborn co-sleeper that you use in your bed so baby doesn't get rolled on, bathtubs, onesies, small toys, newborn sling/carrier, nursing cover, and lots more I'm forgetting :)

Please be sure to say hello to Crystal when you stop in! She is the new owner and would like to meet each and every one of you :) She is working so hard to keep things running smoothly and is committed to keeping Angels & Rascals among your favorite places to shop!

Resale Rocks!

Hey everyone I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Crystal Murphy, I live in Holt and I have 2 children. My husband and I are the new proud owners of Angels and Rascals. We still have lots of cute summer items and we are currently taking fall items. We have quite a few baby swings that we just marked down, so come in and check out the store!

SUPER SALE - Thurs, Fri & Sat!

Hi!

We spent all day getting the store ready for the big sale that starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday.
I think I marked down 80% of the inventory- seriously!
You've got to make it in for the three day sale because we're clearing out items at up to 70% off.
Since we were still taking summer inventory up to 10 days ago, this isn't a leftover clearance...this is a really GOOD opportunity to get some GREAT stuff we just received.
It was difficult for me to hole-punch those tags (...there were SO many adorable outfits still new with store tags attached!), but the time has come to make room for fall inventory.

Oh and I wanted to mention, we have three VERY nice toddler car seats. Two of them are Britax seats (a Marathon, and a Decathalon). They are in excellent condition with manuals and very clean straps, the LATCH system, etc. These seats retails at Toys R Us for $279.00. If you want the best car seat on the market, stop in and take a look at these.

Hope to see you at the sale!

Happy Shopping,

Nicole ;)

Change Is In The Air!

Hey everybody!

I've got some really exciting news :) Angels and Rascals will be welcoming a new owner! Crystal and her husband have purchased the business from Nicole. This is a really exciting time for everyone, and even though we are all going to be sad to see Nicole leave, Crystal is an amazing woman with a lot to give :) We love you, Nicole! Crystal, we wish you all the happiness in the world!

So, this means that there are going to be a few short term changes - Right now, we are only going to be taking select items. Call before you bring something in! This way, I can make sure we are in need of it and you are going to receive the best opportunity. See the website for further information. Also, everything taken in for this itsy bitsy time frame will be taken in on consignment only. This is just to make the transition from one owner to the next a little simpler :) I thank everyone in advance for making this an easy and awesome time!

Now - on to more exciting news: I am in possession of 6 swings! (Yes, I said 6!!!) There are 2 Winnie the Pooh swings, a Take-Along Aquarium swing from Fisher Price, a Graco open top with a super cute bear mobile over it, another Graco open top with activites on the tray, and the Nature's Purest is still here. These swings are all at fabulous prices and deserve excellent homes with you and your little one! Also, I've got 2 bouncers, a SUPER nice activity center that is WAY cooler than an exersaucer, and a double stroller that could use a little TLC.

So, those are my super great pieces right now (as well as the adorable clothes that are always in stock here) and everyone should stop in to give them a peek. Keep checking those emails for news about upcoming sales and information, as well as the website to keep you posted about everything that is Angels and Rascals. Wish Crystal luck with owning her first business, and tell Nicole how much she has meant to everyone these years!!
