Hirsch Natur No-Dye Organic Socks & Tights

Time to introduce another new brand to Hanna's Dream! I have searched high and low, after requests from several customers, for plain, non-dyed organic socks and tights. Yippee, we found some (thanks to a dear customer who is always keeping her eyes out for us!)!!

The socks and cotton tights are made in Germany by Hirsch Natur of beautiful quality 100% organic cotton. The wool tights have 50% organic wool and 50% organic cotton, just the right combo for superior warmth without the itchies. If you've been looking for organic school socks, come on in and check them out! And the thick organic cotton socks are the perfect winter weight - super soft too! The socks and tights are all completely dye-free and will match with everything.

Sorry no pictures this time - it is a bit harder to show the beauty of socks and tights in pictures. You'll just have to bring some home and try them for yourself! Oh, and don't forget, we are still offering free shipping on every order (until Sunday). Happy weekend!

Introducing Kite Kids from the UK!

Over the next few days I will be taking some time to introduce a few new lines that are coming to Hanna's Dream. I am excited beyond belief that we are finally starting to find some gorgeous, high quality organic fashions for bigger kids!!! It is thrilling! Not only do we have two big kids to clothes ourselves, but it is just the thing we want to carry in our store!

So, today I want to introduce Kite Kids, a super fun line out of the UK. They produce beautiful and contemporary styled childrenswear which compromises nothing by being made from organic cotton (so they look cool and trendy!). Their designs are inspired by their love of the outdoors – big skies and fantastic beaches – so their clothes are built to last whether worn on beach, mountain or sofa! We love the light hearted slogans on their clothing, encouraging us all to take care of the earth and have fun too!

Sarah is already thrilled about her new Kite Kids clothing and can't wait for the cold weather to arrive (silly girl!). We were able to get just a few things for our store for this season, mostly in sizes 6/7, 8/9 and 10/11 (organic pajamas for boys and girls, and organic long sleeve tees for girls). Next spring we will be getting a larger selection of their line. Come on in and check out our new selection of this fun clothing!

Enjoying the Seasons

Have any of you noticed how many people rush the seasons?? Even my girls, bless their hearts, started asking when the snow was coming back as soon as the sun had shown its face for a week or two! We find it difficult to slow down and enjoy the moment. End of summer sales start in June, and by August we are already buying our winter gear! More and more, we miss out on the NOW by looking months ahead.
Well, we have discovered through the years that the organic clothing industry tends to buck the system in this regard, especially the European market. In the next few weeks, our autumn/winter stock will start rolling in (just in time to start thinking about some cooler weather). We've got some great new brands for you to try out in big kids sizes (up to 11 years!): Kite Kids, Look Organics, Hirsch Natur, Nixie, Twirls and Twigs, and children's Seasalt Organic Cotton! We'll have some great winter coats by Serendipity, lots of beautiful organic cotton, and some new recycled fiber clothing that we are very excited about. So much to look forward to. But for now, enjoy this beautiful season!
