really in trouble now...anyone been to Janeville?
I've been really bad with baby clothes--they're just too darned cute. Fortunately Genevieve keeps growing and the seasons keep changing, so more clothes are required ;-) I find that I am somewhat addicted to Janie and Jack, though I am good and wait for the sales (because the prices are completely ridiculous full price). I also discovered a *really* adorable shop locally called Grandmother's Back Room that is just piled floor to ceiling with delicious clothes (lots of Sara Louise, Sweet Potatoes, Kitestrings, Feltman). I only wish that the sweet smocked dresses were all cotton (I guess they figure people don't want to iron, but the cotton seems so much more comfortable!). Waaaayyyy too much trouble in that shop. Anyway, I learned two more items while perusing the sales rack at Janie and Jack the other day: 1) they will soon be adding larger sizes--up to 4T by this summer, and 2) they'll be launching a women's store. Being curious, I snooped around, and sure enough, the women's store will be Janeville and the target demographic will include many of the women here. Apparently it will follow the same general plan as Janie and Jack (new collections every two weeks, lots of mix and match collections) and stores will have a "cottage-y" feel. Stores are open currently at the Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara, CA and Bellevue Square in Bellevue, WA. A store opens in Burlingame Avenue in Burlingame, CA on April 30th. Anyway, has anyone been to one of the stores? There are no products shown on their website, and I was wondering what the clothes were like. I suspect prices will be up there, but with collections coming every two weeks, I suspect there will also be frequent sales. Another odd thing I learned snooping around-- Janie and Jack and Janeville are owned by Gymboree. Whoda thunk it? Best wishes, Ericka |

I haven't been to one of the stores but I absolutely *love* Janie and Jack.
I just ordered a huge summer order for Xander, and yes they are outrageous full priced but on sale, I stock up!! And I discovered them through Gymboree actually!! There are no Janie and Jack stores near me so I have to do it all online....sigh Kari mom to Kaylie (8) Noah (5) and Xander (6 mos) |

They are *really* good at clothes that make you say, "Awwwwww, how *precious*!" Thank goodness the sales are good. Sometimes I stalk a particular outfit for a long time only to find that there aren't any left in the right size when they get to a price I'm willing to pay, but oh well. And I discovered them through Gymboree actually!! There are no Janie and Jack stores near me so I have to do it all online....sigh Really? I've been disenchanted with Gymboree for the last several years, so I haven't been there much. Best wishes, Ericka |

A friend of mine is a baby/toddler clothing designer and presently has Janie
& Jack as a client (I'm hoping to score big when my son is born this summer!) and last time we talked she mentioned Janeville. I haven't seen any of the clothes yet either, but she said that it's supposed to be similar to Anthropologie, except with better quality and lower price points. Which is fine with me, because it seems that Anthropologie just keeps getting more and more pricey. "Ericka Kammerer" wrote in message ...

I'm not always that fond of their clothing though. It'll be interesting to see what the clothes are like. Thanks for the info, Ericka |
