Fall-Winter 2010 Line

For those of you who subscribe to our newsletter, you already got a sneak peek at Saturday’s photo shoot for our Fall/Winter line, but I’m just dying for you to see more!  It went so well, thanks to Amanda with Bel Momento Photography and all my little models who did their best to pretend it was cold outside when it was actually in the mid-90s.  Photo shoots are so much fun for me because I get so much joy from seeing the clothes, that God has inspired me to make, come to life on sweet little girls. It is one thing to choose fun fabrics and put them together, but to actually see them on your little blessings completes the circle.

I hope you enjoy some more candids that Scott took from our photo shoot. Stay tuned for our official launch of the Fall/Winter line next week when we get the pictures back from Amanda!  I can’t wait!

On a personal note, we started back to school this week and it’s been great! Madison started middle school and Alex is in 3^rd grade, so they are at two separate schools. This is working out great because one goes to school an hour earlier and comes home an hour earlier than the other, so I get to give my undivided attention to each of them when they get home instead of them both coming home at the same time arguing, talking at the same time, blood sugars dropping at the same time, and losing my mind. I think it’s going to be a good year!

Until next time…

Hello followers!  I’ve just returned from a FABULOUS long weekend in Coronado, CA!  Two dear friends, Hilary and Lauren, moved to Coronado recently, and Hilary offered to host a trunk show for me, so we did our first show for the new Fall line.  Plus, it was a great excuse to get to visit friends in such a beautiful place.  However, it started off a little bumpy…

I left Memphis on Thursday afternoon and had a rotten day getting ready for the trip because our home computer was not cooperating and that is an essential component for running an online business.  So I was pretty frustrated when I left town, but I knew I was headed for something better when I got on that plane.

I left my frustrations behind and made a quick connection in Chicago before the final leg to San Diego.  When I arrived in CA at 10:45 pm, I learned my luggage didn’t make the connecting flight as well as I had.  My trunk show was scheduled for the next morning at 10:00 am.  Now what?  The guy in baggage claim was clueless and knew it.  He said it wouldn’t arrive till the next day at 11:00 am. Really?!  We drove to Lauren’s and when we arrived, I called the airline regarding the missing luggage to which they replied that it had just arrived, but it would be put on a delivery truck at midnight.  We turned around, went back to the airport, only to learn we missed the truck and my luggage was on its way to Lauren’s.  It was supposed to get to her house by 6:00 AM, but at 6:00 I received a phone call from the airline asking if they could deliver my luggage between 7:30 and 9:30 that morning. Thank God!  It arrived at 8:30 in time for me to shower and get to Hilary’s to showcase my new line! Whew!  God is good, and I was surprisingly at peace about the whole thing thanks to Him!

Needless to say, the weekend just got better from there and it was awesome to see my friends and their sweet families again.  After spending four nights with Lauren and her family, I feel like I kind of adopted them or they adopted me and I miss them like crazy.  Here are a few pics of our weekend:

Coming up this weekend is our Fall/Winter 2010 photo shoot! I’m so excited to see our little models wearing the new line! I hope to have a sneak peak to share with you next week.

Until then…
