Two Blue Peas Supports Mompreneurs and Fair Trade
August 15, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Two Blue Peas (twobluepeas.com), a unique online baby boutique that brings together the hippest baby clothing, bibs, blankets, shoes, toys and gifts in a single easy-to-use website, opens its arms to creative mompreneurs in the U.S. and around the world.Seeking out one-of-a-kind goods is Two Blue Peas’ forte, but the icing on the cake is stumbling upon stay-at-home – or rather work-at-home – moms who design, assemble and sell their own handmade baby items while at home raising their families.
Helen Huckaba, Two Blue Peas co-founder and accomplished mompreneur herself, “admire(s) this different breed of women who have the energy and drive to carry two full-time jobs”. Helen knows from experience that “juggling a small child in one hand and a small business in the other takes a lot of energy and a special kind of woman”.
Among some of the top-selling handmade products at Two Blue Peas are bib and burp sets from Cuddlebee™, kitschy felt pretend food from Lilly Bean Play Food and vintage-inspired bibs from Sheriff Peanut.
These mompreneurs are not just native to the U.S. Two Blue Peas recently added goods from Yellow Label Kids, a Fair Trade Federation member whose handcrafted products are made by artisans spanning the globe from Chile to Nepal. The purpose of the Fair Trade Federation is to ensure craftspeople receive a fair price for their goods and have safe, healthy working conditions. Some of the female artisans are financially responsible for as many as 20 members of their extended families, and companies like Yellow Label Kids and ultimately Two Blue Peas help them to better care for their dependants.
The Two Blue Peas founders are always on the hunt for up and coming mompreneurs. Their passion for supporting work-at-home moms is equally as strong as their thrill of finding the perfect baby clothes, accessories and gifts to offer at twobluepeas.com. Product submissions can be made on the site at twobluepeas.com/press.
