from Yahzi Rose Children’s Apparel! December, 2008    Dear Kysha,  I love to receive gifts, don’t you?  I also love making or shopping for what I think will bring a smile to someone’s face.   During the holiday season the line between joyfully giving and consumerism is hard to find.  This season, our family is trying to find balance in pleasing our kids, the economic threat, latest & greatest gadgets, what is necessary vs. indulgence, parental guilt, and the need for a little guilty pleasure    I think what helps darken the dividing line is your intent.  I ask myself, can we afford this, can we get it used, is it wasteful, do they have enough, who am I supporting?  Our children learn best from what we do rather than  what we constantly say.  Let’s make an effort to give gifts based on joy instead of guilt and spend where are dollars will make the most difference.     Let us know how your gift-giving is taking shape…          SFGallery143 Boutique     Find unique gifts for the holidays or shop for yourself!  There are over 25 local artists offering clothing for the whole family, jewelry, cards, books, accessories, and fine art photography.  The best part?  The events and Meet & Greets that happen every weekend.  All are from 6-9pm, FREE, and yummy Sangria is provided.   December 6 – 21st, 2008 Click link above for store hours 143 Fillmore @ Waller  San Francisco, Ca   KPFA Crafts & Music Fair       In its 38th year, KPFA brings 220 craftsmakers and artists from throughout the country, a gourmet food pavilion and live performances by some of the area’s leading world musicians – all in a warm and spirited ambiance that reflects the Bay Area’s great diversity.    December 13-14th, 2008 Concourse Center, Booth #104 Center, 8th & Brannan Streets  San Francisco, Ca $10   10am-6pm        “Just Because”  Gift Sets   Your choice of plush animals and color of washcloth!  Perfect stocking stuffers!    These sweet little animals are super soft and cute.  They are holding tight to one of our colorful child-size washcloths.  The size and price make these gifts perfect for your favorite children… just because!    On Sale!  $12    We hope to see you this weekend!     Kysha Mitchell Yahzi Rose Join Our Mailing List!

Already?  Wow, does the summer go faster as an adult or as a child?    I hope this sunny season has gifted you with warm weather, good friends, screams of laughter as well as blessed silence, and no (or less) stress.  We’ve had a great summer at Yahzi Rose.  Now that its been over a year since our launch (did I mention that we had a birthday?), our shows have brought repeat customers and recognition from strangers.  Folks have walked by our booth and stopped because they remember that someone forwarded them our newsletter or their child received a YR birthday present.  We’ve also been blessed to meet some of the beautiful new babies that received pre-birth or newborn gifts!     Please allow me an inch or 2 to say thank you.  Thanks for every forward of this email, call needing a last-minute gift, referral to a friend, web order, pledged support, kind word, adorable model, blog mention, multiple purchase, encouragement, prayer and counsel.  Yahzi Rose wouldn’t be here without all of these things and we are overflowing with gratitude!   OK, enough with the violins!  We have a bunch of events coming up that promise a great time even if you don’t shop!  And I’m sure those little ones still need another back to school outfit… Upcoming Events      Art and Soul Oakland   Sure to be the best Labor day celebration in the state!  Kids town, 6 stages, local food tasting, tons of great stuff to purchase.  Click the title to get the music lineup & more info.  Location: Booth #140, 14th st Downtown Oakland, CA Date: Sat – Monday, August 30th-Sept 1st, 2008 12pm to 6:00pm   Napa Wine and Crafts Faire   Location: Booth #127, Beautiful downtown Napa on First Street between Main and Franklin, CA   Date: Saturday September 13, 2008 10AM to 5:30PM   Solano Avenue Stroll   Location: Booth #71 (near Ventura),  26 blocks of Solano ave!

Forts & Tents - This is a great time-out after you’ve changed the sheets on your bed.  Pull together some chairs, grab some rubber bands, tuck corners into drawers and imagine those sheets and blankets into a secret hide-out, cave, or dollhouse.  Now have lunch with the whole family (stuffed animals included) in your magical kingdom.   Dance like nobody’s watching - If all else fails, turn on some music, up the volume, grab a small hand and dance the day away!  They’ll enjoy every moment of silliness you both exhibit!         Website photos by Kimara

We’ve updated the YR website, check it out! LOUDER! T-shirts 6mo-8   Is it just my kids or do other children seem to get louder as the minutes, days, and years go by??    We’ve created some colorfully cool T-shirts to capture this strange phenomenon! (yes, I know he LOOKS awfully quiet, however…)   They are just $24, super-soft and come in a unisex style and a girl’s cap sleeve.  Who needs a S on their chest when they could have an exclamation point??    Click the photo above for colors & sizes Upcoming Events    MALCOLM X JAZZ ARTS FESTIVAL   Location: San Antonio Park, 18th ave and Foothill Blvd, Oakland CA Date: Saturday, May 17th, 2008 11am-7pm CAPSULE DESIGN FESTIVAL                                        Location: Hayes Valley Park, Octavia & Hayes streets, San Francisco, CA Date: Sunday, May 25th, 2008 11am-6pm Booth #: 119 on Octavia  CHOCOLATE & CHALK FESTIVAL Location: Farmer’s Market area, Along Shattuck Ave in North Berkeley, CA Date: Saturday, May 31st, 2008 10am-5pm   Click for info on these events and more save the dates!     Going Green YR is committed to learning sustainable practices in business & daily life. Each month we will include an easy to incorporate tip to assist with Going Green.      Did you know that one sixth of household electricity is used by refrigerators and freezers?  I know, I know, all that yelling about the lights and this is the real culprit!    Here are a few quick fridge tips:   *  Keep a pitcher of water in your fridge.  Working like an ice pack in a lunch box, the water helps keep your food cold more efficiently.  Also, when tap water sits uncovered for a while, most of the chlorine evaporates.  This leaves you with a healthier thirst-quencher that is easily accessible and much better than soda.   *  Don’t waste energy, check your temperatures.  Who knows how those dials land on a weird number?  Maybe it was your “father-who-knows-best”, containers shoved into a corner or you guessed it… the kids.  The EPA recommends 37 degrees F for refrigerators and 3 degrees F for freezers.   *  Don’t overwork the thing!  Over and under-stuffing a fridge will force it to work too hard.  Fill your refrigerator without overcrowding and it will save you money instead.   Check out Thedailygreen.com, we did for these tips!       Save 15% Our sale is over on May 15th, but because you are sooo special… you may enter this code and extend the Spring Sale for one week!  Code: Extend                                          Offer Expires: May 22, 2008    Newsletter & Website photos by Kimara
