...a new buzz on Ottawa Street.

There was an article about Ottawa Street in the Hamilton Spectator yesterday. According to Joan Walters, this is the new place to be. The article specifically focuses on the fact that so many businesses are moving here from Locke Street, which is more and more defining our up-and-coming Ottawa Street as 'the place'.

Here at Little Bird, we love Locke Street, and all our friends over there. They have an amazing community, and so many interesting shops and restaurants to visit. On the other hand, we're so honored to see some of these successful shop-owners investing in Ottawa Street. In our humble opinion, it is the place to be!

Check out the article here.

Chalk one up for the team...

Did you know that Little Bird has a wall-sized chalkboard? We've already had lots of creative kids in here, leaving their mark on our chalkboard wall. We love to see what is going on in their smart brains...

Here's a picture of our very first piece of art:Bring your kids in to let their creative energy flow...

This little bird has a nest...

We have a home! Little Bird is now open! It was a long process of renovating, but Little Bird is looking great. We're proud to offer you our clean, fresh, organized store front, and we can't wait for you to come peruse though our merchandise. Little Bird is a consignment store for kids size 0-6, and in case you're not familiar with the concept of consignment, I'll explain:

You bring in your kid's clothing items, and we sell them. When they sell, you get 40% of the selling price. That amount gets put onto your account in our computer system. You can come in whenever you want to pick up the cash, or you can use it for store credit. Don't have items to consign? Little Bird is simply a great place to shop. We hand-select each item we put up for sale, and we can offer you quality, brand-name items at wonderful prices!

If you have kids, or know someone with kids, be sure to stop by Little Bird! We are currently carrying fall items, which are great for back to school. Hope to see you soon!
