Our New Safety Sweats & Msg. Bags

September 25th, 2009

Well my children give me great inspiration and ideas! I am always telling the kids, “Don’t go near the street the cars can’t see you!” Well We came up with Safety Sweats and Safety Messenger Bags that are HIGHLY reflective in low light conditions in great designs. So far the feedback from parents and people in general who ride scooters, bicycles or just plain walk at dusk in low light conditions has been great! Plus that the bags are hip and funky really helps..So stay tuned and lets see where this takes us! I have put the Safety Sweats on http://Etsy.com until our New web store opening on Thurs. Oct. 1,2009. zane-and-ava-backs

Keswick Christian Back To School Event

August 14th, 2009

keswickThere are so many wonderful schools here in Tampa Bay. Last night Smartie Pants Apparel was invited to Keswick Christian’s back to school event for the lower grade levels. The floors of the gym were glistening and the cheerleaders were lined up across from each other by the large doors with shimmering pom poms raised above their heads. The school band was in full swing on the stage. Over the loud speaker the names of the teachers were called out as they ran thru the ecstatic teen tunnel. The response from the families was frenzied. It was very apparent that this is a school where the parents and teachers are committed and their faith takes priority. We were the last to pack up, we had kids 3 deep picking out temporary tattoos and the parents were enjoying each others company well after the event was officially over. This is what it is all about.

61st. Annual FISH-A-THON

August 4th, 2009

I attended the 61st. St. Pete. Fish-A-Thon, A local favorite, located behind the Main Library at Lake Jorgenson. The event was sponsored by the St. Petersburg Civitan Club and the City of St. Petersburg Rec Dept. The banks were lined with families with coolers who were hooking their earthworms on cane poles. Kids of all ages took their catches up to be weighed for great prizes and recognition. Smiles were plentiful and it was a beautiful day in St. Pete.reloadingthehooks-copy1
