Hi!
I'm hoping to find a Stand and Ride Duo Stroller for a very nice customer of ours.
We had one and sold it immediately - so if you have one and would like to make $40-60.00 (depending on condition and age, brand, etc) please call us or bring it in right away.
I would love to help out this person, and I know she would be very pleased.
Thank you!
ps. We put out over 500 new items over the last two days - and it's all AWESOME stuff! Come visit us soon ;)

Baby it's cold outside...
...So why in the world do retail stores clear our their winter inventory so soon? Do they think it will make Spring come faster? What about all of us with kids who seem to outgrow their clothing right at the tail end of a season? My daughter goes to school every day looking like she's waiting for a flood...she doesn't need bathing suits and tank tops...she needs jeans!
One of our customers just brought in a few dozen pair of way too cute jeans and shirts size 12 months. So for those of you that have that fashion model 1 year old girl, now is the time to add to her wardrobe! Angels & Rascals still has plenty of great winter items...we know what you need :)
Lucky enough to be escaping the Michigan winter weather? We have lots of wonderful Spring and Summer clothing too. Jackets, shorts, dresses, and t-shirts are eagerly awaiting your arrival.
We are looking for 18 month, 2t and 3t boy Spring/Summer (and basics like jeans, khakis, etc) so please help us out. It's not too early to start cleaning those closets. Of course we want your other sizes as well.
We've started something new and fun! We're cherry-picking the brands you love and putting them on one rack, right up front. Right now all the Gymboree clothing is there and easy for you to shop. Next month it will be something different. This has been a great hit! So if you have a love for Gymboree bring in your excellent condition kids clothing and help us fill the Gymbo rack while doing some shopping for your own kids as well.
Thank you to all of the new customers that have tracked us down through our commercial on 99.1. Your business and friendship is greatly appreciated :)

THINK SPRING! PLEASE!
So yes, I know I'm from Alaska, and this weather should be a piece of cake for me, right? Well its not and I've had enough! So I've decided to make it spring in the store. The mannequins are dressed in capri's and summer outfits, Hawaiian print shorts, sandals and Easter dresses!
But for those of you that love this weather we have tons of WARM cute clothes just waiting for you to take them home. The boys size 5 is overflowing with Gymboree and Baby Gap. The larger girl item racks are full as well from size 5 and up......... so much cuteness. I just cant take it!!!!
We would like to ask for your help on bringing in 18 month to 3T boy and girl clothes. Theses sizes are harder to get because toddlers are still so uhm..... whats the word? Wobbly at that age and they spend a lot of time falling, which doesn't always help with the like new items that we would love to stock up on. So if your child skipped over the wobbly stage and their clothes are sparkling like orbit gum then please bring them in.
If your looking for some mother to be reading, we have a ton of books that have just arrived from When you're expecting, What to expect the first year, and my all time favorite Pregnancy for dummies!! (where was this book when i was prego?)
We have also received some cute crib bedding for that new little man in your life, spaceships, stars and rockets. Its very cute and has a lot of primary colors in it. Also the lady bug set is here, but not for long...... get in quick before it flutters away.
So many great toys that i am reluctant writing about them, I'm worried that you might run in here and buy them and then i wont have them to play with any more. My favorite ones are Zurg and Buzz Lightyear its amazing how far Zurg can fly through the store when Buzz Lightyear shows him who's boss!! (Speaking about boss, i hope Nicole doesn't read these blogs often LOL) What???? I need to test the toys right? That's part of the job..... all toys are a go, to infinity and beyond!!! he he he
OK well I've babbled on long enough, now get in here and say hello, and don't forget to bring in those super cute babies, that might just need me to hold them while you shop.
Blog ya later, lol (I'm funny today)

Finishing my update...
Lets get a little personal.
(to read from the beginning, you'll need to see the older posts)
Do you know that Angels & Rascals will be 7 years old in September? How many of you remember our first store on the corner of Cedar and Aurelius (between CVS and QD)? Our youngest daughter was just 5 months old when we opened. She just turned 7 last Saturday. Ooh that makes my stomach hurt a little. She learned to walk in that store. Our middle daughter lost her first tooth in that store. I met my best friend Lisa Jane there - in that teeny little funny shaped store. Wow.
A lot has changed, but so much has stayed the same.
I love Angels & Rascals. Though I do occasionally want to burn it to the ground and collect the insurance money, I cannot deny everything the store has given me. Without it, Art & Soul Photography would likely not exist. Little did I know I would gain such a comprehensive business education. And the clothes...well, lets just say we've been blessed with full closets.
Angels & Rascals has introduced me to many friends and amazing customers who have shopped with us, laughed with us and cried with us too. Thanks to our customers, A&R has been able to donate thousands of nice clean outfits to local families in need. We've held fundraisers, sold Girl Scout Cookies and candy bars for customers, held diaper drives, and donated to fire victims. We couldn't have done it without you. When it comes to shopper support, I can honestly say our A&R shoppers are the cream of the crop. Thank you! Oh and the kids - I adore them all. Even the criers, and the ones with poopy pants. We love to see your children so please bring them in with you...really, we mean it.
From the day A&R opened, I have been adamant about only offering items in top-notch condition. Occasionally, I even make people angry because I won't take something they think I should. When you walk into the store, I want it to smell good, feel inviting, and I want valuable items to jump out at you right away. Otherwise, what is the point...right? Who wants to sift through a bunch of junk? Not me, and not you either! This leads me to price and value. I've shopped in hundreds of resale shops over the years. Sometimes I just have to laugh at the high prices. Again, there's no point in buying something used, if it's only priced a few dollars below the new retail price. So trust me, we constantly evaluate our prices and we study retail trends. I know children's clothing and equipment inside and out. Sometimes you can find new items on an extra super clearance for less, but 90% of the time our prices compared to new, full retail prices are rockin' low, especially on clothing. If you truly think we've got an item overpriced, please tell us. Sometimes we make mistakes and if so are happy to make a correction...or we'll just smile and thank you for the suggestion :) For all of you who talk up our low prices, we could kiss you! Never be afraid to tell us what's on your mind ;)
Established Angels & Rascals customers - thank you, thank you - we love you!
New customers - please keep coming back - we like you a lot and want to please you :)
Potential customers...what are you waiting for - we want to meet you (and your kids too)!
Thank you for reading this post.
Happy Shopping!
Nicole

Oh my goodness - new stuff!
Hi,
I am so excited to tell you about all the new merchandise that has recently flowed through our doors.....
*Lady Bug Crib Bedding to just die for, if your expecting a baby girl, get in here quick before this adorable set walks away!
*Tons of educational toys!
* Any Peter Rabbit fans out there? Well if so come and check out our beautiful pictures that just arrived.
*And the clothing...all sizes of great stuff, not to mention cute. If you need pajamas for your little ones this is the place.
OK, so now I'm going to move to the personal level of things.
I am going through major baby withdrawals, soooooooo if you have a little one that you would like me to hold while you shop through our store, I would be delighted! (this will save me from wanting one of my own) Any age will do........ LOL
Well I guess I should finish entering items so they will be ready for you when you walk in the door.
Until next time, stay warm! And if your kids are having a hard time staying warm bring them in and check out the winter coats.
Yours truly,
Lisa Jane

Ok...lets get this party started!
Hello!
We have started this blog to keep in touch with you on a more personal basis - so lets get started :)
First up - are we open, are we closed, has the store been sold...?
Originally we had decided to close the store. Not because it is suffering, but because we miss our girls...they are growing so quickly! Soon after we began to liquidate, an individual expressed interest in buying the store. It didn't work out for them but another couple came along shortly after that and committed to buying Angels & Rascals. We were delighted! However, the transaction fell through on their end and we were left with attorney fees and confused customers. Not fun!
So, we are here...alive and kicking... and still the same fabulous little store where you can find great deals on top quality stuff for your children! Wahoo :)
Some customers just walked in so I'm going to chat it up with them...but I'll be back to finish this update.
New arrivals...several fisher price toys, some great 18m boys clothing, and a newborn carseat base...perfect for Daddy's car so you don't have to do the switcheroo.
To be continued...!
;) Nicole
