Ready, Set, Launch!

      The idea for Nonnie & Squeaks began earlier this spring, during a conversation between two sisters. Squeaks had been teaching a friend to sew. During one of the frequent Skype video-chats, Squeaks shared her idea of making unique vintage-inspired hosting aprons to sell online. A little idea sparked in my head -my irresistible chocolate chip cookies. I too had thought of selling homemade goods, but one doesn’t always have a bakery in her backyard. In any case, such an undertaking at this point in life would simply not be possible. So brainstorming led to: instead of selling the baked cookies, how about a dry cookie mix? Done. Now the hard part: a business name. We went back and forth for a few days. Wanting the emphasis to be on our product, with the freedom to add future products of any sort, round and round we went, suggesting different business names, mulling on a couple at a time. Finally, after much consideration, we came back to the first idea thrown out of using our childhood nick-names, Nonnie and Squeaks. Catchy, cute, nostalgic and still sophisticated; all things we hold within the vision of what our products encompass.  Officially on April 26^th, 2011, we co-founded Nonnie & Squeaks. Today we are in business, and we want to thank everyone who helped and encouraged along the way. A special thanks to those who came to our Launch Party, which went swimmingly. PS. That Blueberry Mint Lemonade disappeared like water in a drought!
