Meet Christine Dorian

One thing I love about having a child-based company is the creative moms I have met. Christine Dorian and I met when our children were in the same first grade class. The conversation went something like this... "Oh you're a children's photographer?"... "Oh you make children's hair accessories?"... "We must get together!" Chris has just taken such wonderful pictures of my children wearing their favorite clothes and, of course, their favorite Keppies! Please take a moment and visit www.christinedorian.com and experience her creativity and expressiveness through her photography. Thank you Chris!!

Keppies Barrettes 2nd Annual Valentine Party Benefitting Alex's Lemonade Stand

Keppies holds many fundraising parties throughout the year. Last year the girls had a blast, dancing and singing and doing the Heartfelt Keppie Quality activities. This year we have added barrette making to the mix. Each child will get a Valentine Keppie hair clip with admission and they will be able to create their own braided barrette. Girls and moms love braiding the barrettes together. Many moms who grew up in the 80's are quite nostalgic of the days when they made braided barrettes with their girlfriends. The children will be able to choose from a variety of ribbons and charms to make their Keppie a unique one-of-a-kind barrette that they can be proud of.

Wishing you a Hearfelt New Year

Wow, what a year! We started our business with selling our braided barrettes to friends and family and now we are in over 16 stores. We now sell, headbands, clips, kits, t-shirts, and "keppietails." According to An Wang, You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart. With hard work, determination and a ton of creativity, we have launched our online store (www.keppiesbarrettes.com). We would not have been able to do it without the love and support of so many people. Our children are so proud to have mom's who make Keppies and they have been with us through the whole process. Our mission of helping girls to see their strengths from within has been an ongoing theme of our company. With one idea, our dream came alive and so can yours. We have balanced hard work and play to make this a business that comes from our hearts and hope our love can transcend to others. Wishing you all our heartfelt love and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2009. May all your dreams come true!
