We are a family run business who aim to do our little bit to improve our world. We have a few simple statements as our guiding principles:

• Maintain a child-centered mindset & focus. Your son and/or daughter is our ultimate customer and we are constantly striving to find new products to meet your child's needs.

• Do no harm: to the child, to the employee, or to the environment.

My passion for the rights and well-being of children led me to adopt my beautiful daughter from a foreign orphanage in 2005. At that time, I witnessed horrifying poverty set against a backdrop of unchecked industrial and governmental pollution and devastation. It is with these memories and to honor my daughter's home country and the people she left behind that I establish this business. Each manufacturer represented here has been carefully selected for its environmentally-friendly and work-force conscious practices.

As you browse through our products, note the name of each manufacturer displayed below the product names on the product detail pages. Click on these manufacturer names for important information including materials used, fair trade labor practices, and manufacturing policies. A little information can be a powerful tool indeed!

Check back with us often as I am constantly adding products and updating this site. For additional information on the priorities guiding our business decisions including Organic and Fair Trade see our FAQ tab. You'll also find commonly asked questions regarding our store policies there. Finally, be sure to check out our favorite links. These include some sites with great information on "Green" and toxic-free living.

I welcome any suggestions or comments on the website or products. It is my greatest hope that Lavender Blue Baby will become your first destination for unique and distinctive products for the precious little ones in your life.

What We Are Excited About...

We are excited about a number of recent developments. We've recently added our first line of organic stuffed toys. miYim creates 100% Certified Organic stuffed toys that will catch any child's imagination and heart. View our collection of miyim toys under the Soft Lovables and Odds & Ends Categories.

We are also thrilled to be offering a completely organic cloth diaper line. Organic Caboose produces diapering essentials from Certified Organic cotton and merino wool. Among their impressive collection are prefolds, diaper covers, wipes, changing pads, and (for those looking for a touch more convenience) fitted diapers. For the whys and hows of cloth diapering see our FAQ section.
