And the award goes to........

I received an email last week, that was great news and surprising news! See below; 

Congratulations!
Hula Mula is one of the 2008 Earnie Award Nominees
in the Best New Brand Category for Design Excellence.

Earnshaw’s 32nd Annual Earnie Awards honors design excellence in children’s fashion. Retailers nationwide selected nominees in a variety of categories, representing all distribution tiers. The winners are selected exclusively by retailers’ votes. Earnshaw’s will announce the winners in October. (at ENK, during a dress up dinner event...LOL)

The Earnie Awards ballot is included in the August Earnshaw’s and online at earnshaws.com. Retailers’ votes must be received by September 8, 2008.

In order to promote your nomination and thank the children’s apparel retailers for their support, I invite you to include a display advertisement in the September or October issues of Earnshaw’s. Winners will be spotlighted with advertising and editorial coverage in the November Earnshaw’s.

Being selected as one of only three manufacturers in your category is a significant achievement.


I wish you the best of luck in the award competition, and continued success.
