Look of the Month: January

Baby, it’s cold outside! How’s your family’s outerwear holding up? Has your super fun Coat Sale score been left bereft on some playground? Has your cherubic child somehow grown two sizes in two months? Do you simply need to add another coat to the rotation to give the first one some time to thaw out?

Lucky for you, Mama Goose still has a great collection of coats, snowsuits, and other winter accessories in stock. In fact, our selection is so cute that we needed an entire gaggle of gal pals to show it off.

From left to right, these girls are showing off coats by Mini Boden (size 9/10, $24.95), The North Face (size 14, $37.95, reversible!) Obermeyer (size 7/8, $38.00, vintage with adorable belt), and two more by Mini Boden (plaid: size 9/10, $28.95; birds: size 12, $14.00, priced as is.)

And if you’ve got a little one who needs bundling too? We’ve got you and your kiddo covered with all sorts of adorable snowsuit options, like these two by Hanna Andersson (pink floral: size 18 months, $25.95; blue: size 2, $30.95.)  There’s even a coordinating big girl coat (Hanna Andersson, size 10, $17.95.)

 

 

Come see if we’ve got something to warm up your winter wardrobe!

Meet our new store manager!

Former store manager Emilee shows new girl Rebeka the ropes at this year’s Coat Sale.

Rebeka joined us in July and has proven to be a great asset to our team…she even survived her first Coat Sale! Growing up she attended Maine Endwell School District and later went to Broome Community College. While getting her degree at BCC she began working for Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Johnson City and fell in love with the company. After graduation and with the help of a mentor, she was able to turn her part-time job into a career. Rebeka quickly became a store manager and got a store of her own to run in Ithaca. She and her boyfriend recently bought a house just outside Ithaca, and in the same month had their first child!

“I loved working in a big retail store but a few weeks into being a mom, I realized that my priorities had changed. I needed to be home every night to take care of our daughter, and that’s when Mama Goose was introduced into my life. I have never been happier!” -Rebeka

Rebeka says that working in a mama-oriented environment has helped her become less clueless as a new parent. She has learned a lot from coworkers and customers and is now an avid user of many of our new products. She says she’s enjoying working for a locally-owned small business – and we at Mama Goose have already seen her ideas and decisions have a positive impact on the store.

“Also, who doesn’t like looking at babies all day!  I am grateful for this wonderful opportunity and excited to see what the future has in store for me at Mama Goose.”

Be sure to welcome Rebeka to the Mama Goose family, we are so glad she’s here!
