Here are our new designs arriving in September for your favorite 18 inch doll!

It was quite nerve-wracking planning our kitchen.  I don’t know about you but I never plan improvements based on what I want.  I always plan based on what I believe a prospective buyer might want.  Until I move in to the home that I will stay in forever (and that will probably happen when I am retired ) I am going to ignore my own tastes and make choices based on what I believe the next lucky owner of our home would like.  I know that my interior design taste is highly personal and quite possibly, I admit it… weird.

The unfortunate part about this approach to renovation is that it is pretty blind – hence the nerve-wracking part.  I mean how do I know who will be looking at purchasing my house down the road?  How do I know that their tastes aren’t as weird as my own?  I don’t – so I have to guess.  What a shame I can’t ask them.

But I can ask you!!  As I was trying to block out the banging it popped in to my head that I am constantly renovating Emily Rose.  Again – I never make business decisions based on what I want – but always based on what our customers (YOU) want.  Most of the time I can guess what customers are looking for based on customer care questions, feedback, problems, etc… and hopefully we are doing pretty well at renovation and making sure we have the latest and greatest to meet your needs. But I would also love for you to tell me.  Be honest.  What do you need?  What do you want?  What could be do better?  What products, services, choices can we add?

Please let me know and we will do our absolute best to renovate with you in mind.

Now could someone please send me some tylenol?  Please?

2010 promises to be a very exciting year for Emily Rose & Company! We are starting 2010 with a bang with a fabulous contest.

Keep reading for information on how you can enter this major contest to win one of our Wish Crown Bunk Beds (yes they are sold out, and they sold out early and won’t be back until at least March, but we put one aside just for this contest).  The details of the contest are below but first of all we wanted to let you know about some of things that will be happening around here in 2010…

A New “Raising American Girls” – This is our 3rd generation of the “Raising American Girls” blog.  We will be launching this (our new blog) officially within the next few weeks.  Look out for posts on everything you need to know about raising your American girl – plus contests, giveaways, crafts, product announcements, book reviews, etc…

The New Emily Rose @Home - With the help of our 50 talented and enthusiastic Emily Rose @Home Founder’s Circle Members, we have been improving and refining our home party business opportunity to prepare for wider release in 2010.  Those of you who missed the opportunity the first time can sign-up for more information as we get closer to launch day here.  Those of you who have been asking to host a party but don’t have an @Home consultant close to you will have a much better chance when we widen our availability.

Trading Cards! – Have you seen our free trading cards?  You get one free trading card of our choice with every Emily Rose outfit you order.  Each trading card features one of our fabulous products and every card includes our unique STORY STARTERS ® to encourage your American Girl’s creative doll play.  We have already released 10 different cards you can collect and in 2010 we will be adding 40 (yes 40!) more styles to the collection.

Trading Card Online Playground! – A safe place for your daughter to interact with other trading card owners, enter contests, post photos and videos, write stories, add what-if, etc… Coming in the next few weeks.

Emily Rose TV! – Our own Emily Rose is launching her very own television show to be broadcast on youtube and “Raising American Girls”.  Emily Rose TV will feature news, information and fun for girls aged 7-14.  Look out for the first episode soon and have your daughters join the fun.

Doll Clothes Patterns! – Finally our own Emily Rose brand of downloadable 18 inch doll clothes patterns will be released throughout 2010.  The pattern prices will be low as you have come to expect from Emily Rose and there will be plenty of opportunities to get the patterns for FREE!

Contests and Giveaways! – We are aiming for monthly contests and giveaways this year – let’s see how we do…
