December 1 we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of our concept store in Old Town.
It’s been a fascinating time: marking the seasonal changes, becoming a part of the merchant community, designing, producing and selling new things in the store and of course meeting all the people who come in. That’s my favorite part – talking to and hearing what people like and seeing their reactions to Petra’s designs!
Come by between 5 and 8 for some refreshments and snacks. Petra has printed gift boxes and we’ll of course have everything on sale also! Thanks for a great first year!
1 year anniversary event
Wall Decals
Autumn Market again.
The annual Fall Harvest Market took place the other weekend outside Järna at Skillebyholm. The annual event seems to grow in size each year and we’ve come to really enjoy having a small tent there.
The market is all about natural products, organic farming, great fresh food, arts & crafts and hand-made goods.
Our hats really sold well this year as the weather was just perfect to make people feel the need for a light autumn hat.
From France & Costa Rica
I received this great image from a French woman who visited our store. She wrote:
The girls absolutely love their new dress and everyone is asking me where I got them! I do hope your international sales are going to increase. Your website is very user-friendly.
Here’s a photo of Juliet (6) and Clea-Rose (2) in their new dress! It was taken in France, it is far too hot in Texas right now to be outside: it was 107F when I took the car this afternoon: cra-zy.
Another email arrived yesterday from a couple from Costa Rica who bought some clothes from us while visiting Gamla Stan. They wrote:
Dear friend
In our recently trip through Scandinavian countries, we bought in Stockholm (Gooey Brand Store) a beautiful dress flower for our little granddaughter. Now this is the favorite dress for her. Really is a nice dress.
Sincerely

Thanks so much for the compliments – Petra is very happy to hear that her creations are so well received and liked by both the parents and the kids!
Pirate Girl
I love hearing from our customers – and the fact that the store location in Old Town gets so many tourists means Gooey is getting out to many corners of the world!
The last days I’ve had customers from Dubai and Saudi Arabia. They said we should open a store in the UAE! One mom was haggling over the prices like we were in the Souks of Marrakesh! It was kinda crazy having all her large family quietly watching us while she put the “screws” to me! She was a professional!
Yesterday I had a visit from a very cool family from Park City, Utah – USA. Skiers and self avowed hat freaks, they bought 7 different hats to take home with them!
This is Anna from Skaneateles, New York enjoying her Pirate dress! I remember a few weeks ago when her mom came in and said her daughter was crazy for pirates. Nice to see the end result and keep ‘em coming!
Cherry Dress available now.
The new summer dress with a little songbird in a cherry tree is now available. This design is the same cut as the Sunflower dress. See the pictures I took today.
New review from Spanish Blog Kireei
We were mentioned in the Spanish blog Kireei last week. Cristina Camarena has the blog and it has quite a following! She touched on all the high points and featured many images. Thanks so much for your interest and support!
Gooey on Augie
We have many tourists who like to buy clothes to take home. Sometimes I ask them to send a picture of the child wearing the clothes if they seem especially happy with the item. I received this picture today – big thanks to Sheryl, Maynard and Augie! Great to see! All the social networking support you give helps us grow and we really appreciate it! Please visit the Facebook page and spread the word!
