greyboy's tiny winter 2015 collection

greyboy is excited to announce new handmade items in the shop. its our "tiny winter" collection. (probably "fashionably late" for a winter collection- but thats how things tend to happen around here) i plan on adding more and more as i have the time to design, produce, photograph, and post. juggling work, motherhood, and the desire to create can be challenging. but i always enjoy that moment when it all comes together. 

someone's half birthday is today and we are super excited to celebrate 18 months!

here you will find, vintage visual displays and clothes that lay on and hang from antique furniture. the red balloon sells everything you need for a newborn up to age 16. clothes, shoes, accessories, an amazing book selection, vintage furniture, vintage toys, games.. etc. my favorite part about the red balloon is their amazing selection of boys clothes. its equally as large as their girl clothes.. which is a huge deal for mama's with sons! they also sell [city threads], who makes an awesome [initial tee] that is only sold at the red balloon. they take it back old school but are also on top of all the new trends.

head over their bucktown location today for a sidewalk chalk contest!
