The BLAST sale ends today - this is the last day to get all in one diapers at 15% off, diaper covers at great discounts, and matching shirts too!

New website is live!


You can find us at www.peachygreendiapers.com  We would be so honored if you would bookmark the new site. And we hope you will, because...

Bright Star Baby Big News

Big News #1: Bright Star Baby is changing names!

Yep, you read that right. Out of the blue, BSB got a letter demanding that we change our business name. The issue? Our business name was too close to another business' trademarked name. We eventually decided to comply - we're lovers, not fighters. So hey, life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Or in this case, peaches.

We had to come up with a new name, so we got a little crazy, a little creative, and came up with a fresh new brand name: Peachy Green! “Peachy” means excellent, and “peachy keen” means cool or awesome. We took ”peachy keen” and tweaked it to Peachy Green. After all, cloth diapers are reusable and lighten the load on landfills, so they're “green.”
The peach logo might remind you a little bit of a rounded baby bottom. And the green leaf rising out of the top is like a flag, waving because we're here, alive and kickin', and not going down without a fight.
Peachy Green AIO diapers and covers are the same as Bright Star Baby - same great fit, fabrics, and makers. The only thing that's changing is the label. Over the next week, our website will become Peachy Green. It takes a while and we have to do it "live" so you may see oddities as we transition.

We wouldn't have changed names if we weren't forced into it. But now that we are going there, we're going to embrace the new name and have a Peachy Green party! Come join us! Just head on over to Facebook and tell us what you think of Peachy Green. We're going to do some exciting giveaways, so the sooner you join on, the more opportunities to win!

Big News #2: we have a new one-size diaper system!


Coming soon - The Peachy Green One Size All in Two. This diaper system features a diaper shell that can be used for multiple changes, and bamboo fleece soakers for super absorbant natural-fiber goodness. The shell and soakers are both one-size! They adjust through sizes 0, 1, and 2 to grow with your baby.

How does it work? Start with the soaker - turn it upside down and snap it into position for size 0, 1, or 2.

Now it's set and you can leave it there until baby grows. Flip the soaker over and snap into the shell.

Now fasten the diaper onto baby - the 3 rise settings and 5 rows of waist/leg settings give you tons of adjustments! Wait a couple hours...Time to change? Snap out the wet soaker. Snap in a dry soaker. Go!

On the inside of the shell, the buttery soft microfleece resists wetness. If your baby is a super soaker, you may need to let the shell dry a little before re-use. This is easy to do if you rotate two or more shells.

The new All in Two comes in colors and prints! Preorders start October 1, with an anticipated ship date of October 10. Check our website or your favorite retailer to reserve yours.


Big News #3: get while the getting's good!

The BLAST Sale on All in Ones, Covers, and Matching Shirts ends Friday September 30. Get your favorites while they're on sale! The quantity of many colors and prints is getting limited, and some have sold out. These will not be restocked! So snap up the ones you love while they last.

In the future, we will be releasing our popular All in One diapers and side snap Diaper Covers under the Peachy Green label. Nothing is changing except for the label...and the colors and prints. The Fall Collection with new colors and prints will be coming out in about a month - stay tuned!

Seconds Sale Sept 8th

First off a little announcement....drum roll please.... Holly is the winner of the Labor Day weekend gift certificate giveaway!

And now, how about a sale?

Ever since the BSB launch in January 2011, whenever we had a flawed item we'd set it aside in a box. There's not much in the box -- yes, our seamstresses are that good ;-) But still, there are a few things in there that make for a fun little sale.

I like to do this kind of sale over at our Hyena Cart store - Hyena Cart a shopping system that was started about 10 years ago for selling high-demand one of a kind items. It works really well for "stalking", where you can preview an item and then the second it goes live, you can pounce on it and grab it. The thing is, when you add the item to the cart, it's yours. You can't grab it and then put it back.

All the seconds are listed at a nice discount. My criteria for seconds is pretty strict, often I have to really look hard to find the flaw. If it's more visible, I've noted that and added an extra discount. Sale starts Thursday Sept. the 8th at noon central. Surf on over to the SALE section and see if there's anything you must have!

The Experts Agree...

...the Bright Star AIO Rocks!
In the last week we have had three new, positive...dare we say glowing...reviews of the all in one diaper.

"I'm really impressed with the quality" (...read more) review by Ethel Olleres of Luv My Two Girls. Photo of a size 1 diaper on Ethel's daughter Emma.

"CONS: I can't really think of any :-)" (...read more...scroll to the bottom) review by Autumn Beck of All About Cloth Diapers. Photo of a size 1 diaper on Autumn's 5 week old baby! The red diaper may look a little big but it works, amazingly enough, on this little one and on her 23 month old toddler too.

"I want this to be my only diaper!" (...read more) review by Terra Jones of Cloth Diaper Addiction. Photos of a size 1 diaper on a baby and toddler. Photos of the diaper and lots of details. Terra is offering a giveaway for a $25 Bright Star Baby gift certificate on Valentine's Day so visit her site soon to enter.
