Seems that Orange Blossom, that cool kid’s clothing store on Lincoln Place, a block I walk on every day, has new owners. The old owners were super nice people. I know that the off-Avenue location can be a bit of a challenge but I thought they were doing pretty well over there.

UPDATE: The old owners moved back to Austin, Texas and sold the business to business associates/friends. The new owners are designers of soft dolls and stuffed animals.

Diaper Diva and I loved going in — and buying stuff there. I’ve purchased quite a few recent new baby and birthday gifts there. We really enjoyed one of the sales people, who sang Russian lullabys to Ducky. Hope she’ll still be working at the shop. UPDATE: The woman who sings in Russian will still be working at the shop.

I didn’t have a clue that they were selling the shop. Although I did notice that they were closed for a few days "for spring cleaning."  Truth is, I’ve been so busy I didn’t even notice until recently that Kirstin at Slope Sports was very, very pregnant. Yesterday the shop was closed, anbd I wondered if she’d had the baby (baby due on April 16th). UPDATE: She did not. I saw her today and she is still pregnant.

So the changeover at Orange Blossom has been very discreet. I noticed a few changes through the window – a white picket fence around the counter. But I haven’t gone in. I went in. The new owners are very nice. A reader of OTBKB already stopped in the shop. Diaper Diva, not surprisingly, managed to find something to buy for Ducky. A cute pair of pink cargo pants and a t-shirt.

Dave Helm and  his wife, Courtney have taken over the reigns and would like to invite the readers of OTBKB to the big ol Grand Re-Opening event on Saturday April 29 11AM – 7PM and Sunday April 30th 12PM – 6PM.

It would be so cool if they had special prizes for the readers of OTBKB. Tell them you saw this on OTBKB and maybe they’ll give you an Orange Milano or something.
