Baby Chaleco

• http://www.babychaleco.com/

I sell relief to busy new parents, who would rather spend more time on fun stuff and less on tedious tasks (like changing and laundry).

I sell style and convenience to grandparents who want to enjoy showing off their little star at dinner, holidays and out and about.

I sell the perfect baby gift to aunties and friends who want to give just the right useful and special thing, and not what everyone else already got.

I sell Baby Chaleco, a collection of charming little vests and tops with waterproof fabric liners built right in.

  Carol says she’s not a diplomat (to which I can only add, anyone who’s as honest as she is, does have the right to say this) but, indeed, she has the skills – I’ve seen it. She’s all-around goodness. I especially love the fact that she doesn’t fall into the category of people who need to ‘get over themselves’ – she’s honest, intelligent, damn funny, doesn’t take herself too seriously (but IS capable of great seriousness) and is super, super, super to work with, I know first hand.

  I have worked alongside Carol at shows and she’s one of the best people to have around because she’s a real team-player and naturally wonderful with people – seriously, I could easily leave my booth at a tradeshow ON PURPOSE because I know, with Carol, if you need someone to cover you, she can likely tell them more about your own products than you can!

  Make no mistake, she has her flaws. I'm sure she has bad hair days...gets things caught in her teeth, just like the rest of us. But, seriously, her biggest flaw is that she cares so much – she can get in her own way sometimes. She can spend more time on your product than hers (so what I'm saying is don't actually leave your booth on purpose if you're a true friend! :-).

  Last but not least, in my book, people that move slower at times in business because of their moral concerns are A+++.

  Carol has CHOSEN to produce her products here in Washington. She has CHOSEN to use quality / “green” materials in her process.

  How many other businesses simply produce where it’s cheap and use whatever sells? Too many.

  It takes courage and character to stick to your guns and turn a profit this way – I have nothing but respect and admiration for her. And I love her product, which helps – it actually DOES something beyond looking adorable. As a mom, I don’t need piles of “stuff” – I just need something that actually works, is truly durable and cuts down on my laundry pile! Her product does all three.

  So – that’s my two cents on Carol. Basically, fabulous is as fabulous does. And Carol does fabulous…fabulously!
