June 28th meeting

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Cape and Islands Babywearers meeting.

June 28
1:30 PM
at Taft's Playground/Belltower Field
Woods Hole.

There will be a raffle at the meeting for a new Freehand mei tai. Freehand mei tais are a wonderful lightweight carrier for newborns to toddlers. Raffle tickets will be $10 each. Freehand mei tais normally retail for $72, so if you win it's quite a good deal! All proceeds of the raffle will go to publicising and running Cape and Islands Babywearers meetings and events!

At the meeting I will be there as a leader of the group and as the owner of Pinkletink Baby
I will have some beautiful wraps, mei tais (asian front and back carriers), and ring slings available for sale, but primerily I will be there to help people try carriers and will have my personal stash of carriers available to people to try as well as the carriers for sale. I am happy to help you learn new carries with your current carrier if you are having trouble or if you just need a few tips to help everything be more comfortable!

Tuesday June 2nd babywearers play in the park!

This Tuesday, June 2nd at 10:00

come and play in the park in Woods Hole! We will have carriers to try and experienced babywearers will be there with their own carriers and expertise :)

here are the directions

These are from the Bourne Bridge. So, from there you would stay on Rt. 28 and follow signs to Falmouth. You will just stay with 28 until you come to a set of lights, at which point you will go straight through and continue following signs to Woods Hole and the Vineyard ferries. This will have you coming into Woods Hole on Woods Hole Rd. You will go through another set of lights eventually, then on for a ways until you see a little harbor on your left, then you will see signs for the Woods Hole Library on your right, and then Pie in the Sky bakery on your left as you stay to the right around the slight curve in the road... this part of the road is very tight and it may take a few minutes to jockey through it with all the traffic. You should be on Water St going past Pie in the Sky. Take a right on School St. You will go past an old school building and see Eel Pond (actually a little harbor) on your left, then take a left on Millfield St. Take your first right on Bell Tower Ln (you will see a white church at the corner and a stone bell tower across the street). The park where we are meeting is at the end of the road. If parking is tight we will just have to park along the road. It should take you about a half hour to get to Woods Hole from Bourne.

I hope we see you there!

May play date in the park

Hey everyone!

After a very long winter (and, at least at are house, a lot of illness and general difficulties of various sorts!) I am hear to say that we are getting back in the swing of things and setting some dates for Cape and Islands Babywearers events.

The next event is going to be a play date at the park with our little ones (and bigger ones too!)

Through the summer and into the fall we will be meeting at Bell Tower Field in Woods Hole on the last Thursday of each month at 1:30 to hang out and play and talk baby carriers, parenting, and whatever else comes up. The next Thursday play date will be May 28.

We will also be meeting in the morning at 10:00 on the first Tuesday of each month at Bell Tower Field in Woods Hole. Same applies to this as the Thursdays... come and talk parenting, babywearing, and whatever else comes up... bring your kids and your carriers and we will have a blast. The next Tuesday play date will be June 2.

I would also like to let people know that Pinkletink Baby has a new owner, (ME!) and is now on the mainland in East Falmouth. Pinkletink Baby is one of the only local vendors of slings, mei tais, and wraps, and offers full service and and help with learning to use your carrier. Free consultations are available, or you can catch up with me at a play date at the park and check out some of what I have in stock.

Please feel free to email me with questions or to get on the Cape and Islands Babywearers email list!

Happy babywearing!
