People are done buying winter, although the season is just getting started...and spring just seems so far off! So here is my attempt at a dress for all seasons!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumLaIOEvhe0ys_56202LOhQNWrqfDQu2LwSfalFdrLXd-hroJgEpM2IlUs4ARL6ACFU02iRyo_AryjnRPqajMWktxxB44jEFo0mYIAo8OwvPEuTlpOSNm8hAF1Xc2r0u27ptCuSj83Wbw/s1600/5bday1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 323px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumLaIOEvhe0ys_56202LOhQNWrqfDQu2LwSfalFdrLXd-hroJgEpM2IlUs4ARL6ACFU02iRyo_AryjnRPqajMWktxxB44jEFo0mYIAo8OwvPEuTlpOSNm8hAF1Xc2r0u27ptCuSj83Wbw/s400/5bday1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691030813682673042" /></a>Complete with a bright pink and black rosette sash to match! And a headband too, if your daughter keeps them on. Aspen is seriously cracking me up with her poses. She was super excited to have her picture taken this afternoon, and I have to say all her poses were in slow motion to accomodate my impromtu photo shoot!<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUH1wQgkv2gxV-VLFDM8ZmZiJ5IS35JEhEV5slP7zHhlM1SIOawQHDwCBbx_D71nw4GFFwL7SeP63Gi_yiPgNq7-NQwX22eulNykRY1ZbFNvyjNzvpZLoNDBJ7kcFl-sjKSF0Dmn7Ubiu/s1600/5bday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUH1wQgkv2gxV-VLFDM8ZmZiJ5IS35JEhEV5slP7zHhlM1SIOawQHDwCBbx_D71nw4GFFwL7SeP63Gi_yiPgNq7-NQwX22eulNykRY1ZbFNvyjNzvpZLoNDBJ7kcFl-sjKSF0Dmn7Ubiu/s400/5bday.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691030811272019586" /></a><br /></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-1920830590206397342011-12-18T18:49:00.000-08:002011-12-18T19:00:07.552-08:00Cupcakes and cocoa with Santa<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCO4_T9lwjIFEfplYT1djj0NQHIT2km3JGtd0qSEHMsf9X2jOhQLWqAhGDldG95EmWBxA_ZWGc8S_1YKdPzafS1mzVcPmYm_-tY6gZRmV8VhJ5Xx-2foiaDL3-CKZLS-JLVK5SSguITlbV/s1600/londonsanta.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCO4_T9lwjIFEfplYT1djj0NQHIT2km3JGtd0qSEHMsf9X2jOhQLWqAhGDldG95EmWBxA_ZWGc8S_1YKdPzafS1mzVcPmYm_-tY6gZRmV8VhJ5Xx-2foiaDL3-CKZLS-JLVK5SSguITlbV/s400/londonsanta.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687666330490975746" /></a><br />This weekend we had the great pleasure of going to an early morning Christmas party with Santa! Santa made a special appearance for about an hour with six sweet kiddos. They had a ball and Aspen continues to talk about what Santa told her about his night around the world. He prefers chocolate chip cookies, and not to leave too many carrots for the reindeer or they get excited and wake the kids up in the middle of the night. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TkIzmg34PV_tkgF3YWi2boRy7b1kRMcR6FlpCySKIn4VxcDYkDgFJ3SEmFB88q-uY9dZ_VBvBT_rLDJcKx9Um6HQfIIRA7EEgBCnjiLdNuNU184BRTAE8iSLOcVd4bs9QTFElBghlb6S/s1600/aspensanta.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TkIzmg34PV_tkgF3YWi2boRy7b1kRMcR6FlpCySKIn4VxcDYkDgFJ3SEmFB88q-uY9dZ_VBvBT_rLDJcKx9Um6HQfIIRA7EEgBCnjiLdNuNU184BRTAE8iSLOcVd4bs9QTFElBghlb6S/s400/aspensanta.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687666328942661026" /></a><br />It was a great morning with good friends, and really one of our first chances to savor the season with other friends.

Christmas Dresses! Always such a fun collection to design. This year I have been so busy sewing up the same couple dresses non-stop, I am hoping to maybe offer a couple one of a kinds for Black Friday or Thanksgiving weekend, which will all depend on how healthy my girls stay between now and then. October seemed to be one thing, then the next! We officially had London knock out her front tooth, emergency trip to the dentist, fix the tooth, both girls get strep the next week, then the flu halloween weekend. So that is it for me, now I am ready for healthy kids and family so we can enjoy the holiday season!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRyhrWKCd6LUUzl7cvA7dLVr6V0_YYyp2r055WZ-LZwLOB__TPpfPc0Sn4cBPAnvCcS-Gr9mQdBgobaKfva0q90983au6aFCIQLjHpXOAH7IdSEBO-4utOPIRFoDatqeTY5AM-GKTwlvn/s1600/cinnamondress.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671680601272646098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRyhrWKCd6LUUzl7cvA7dLVr6V0_YYyp2r055WZ-LZwLOB__TPpfPc0Sn4cBPAnvCcS-Gr9mQdBgobaKfva0q90983au6aFCIQLjHpXOAH7IdSEBO-4utOPIRFoDatqeTY5AM-GKTwlvn/s400/cinnamondress.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-21372720855610345032011-10-09T19:28:00.000-07:002011-10-09T19:39:51.949-07:00Snow!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrnOlKPK2dhIFlBK9yZ9fnd88Ni1jYFod610_ToBNfeuSC9pYvOzMtwNgAfpYsv20orTa68PZpGkoVK1J-vKhvXs9qXP0d0gLQx2piYmADCerWPL3yVQjXdFcWoOsGLtD3dQJ1BLxuYKO/s1600/pipsqueek+Christmas+008+copy.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrnOlKPK2dhIFlBK9yZ9fnd88Ni1jYFod610_ToBNfeuSC9pYvOzMtwNgAfpYsv20orTa68PZpGkoVK1J-vKhvXs9qXP0d0gLQx2piYmADCerWPL3yVQjXdFcWoOsGLtD3dQJ1BLxuYKO/s400/pipsqueek+Christmas+008+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661686268747471538" /></a>Saturday morning the girls and I woke up to the season's first ultra cool temps and some snow!

Bloomers are all printed red and cream velveteen, so they are cozy and warm on your sweet girls. And the dresses really could not get much more girlie if I tried! There are ruffles, aprons, rosettes.....and every single time I start sewing up one, my two year old asks if this one is going to be her's, so if you think these photos are cute, you will really just gush over it when you see all the pretty details in person!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhNg7A8zr1ok4kiG1C-EzvcoqPkbeghoMxRK8BJLlQ4UmPGfYmPCpNdXddxl-dy4WVQGrDnNd64fyJdArcEIRrPfr3YP-g5eHmbqaym2AM0T_HeL03npH7Wi4N0jliXqgLF8MST4OWHa1/s1600/christmfroliclose.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656857112805629938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhNg7A8zr1ok4kiG1C-EzvcoqPkbeghoMxRK8BJLlQ4UmPGfYmPCpNdXddxl-dy4WVQGrDnNd64fyJdArcEIRrPfr3YP-g5eHmbqaym2AM0T_HeL03npH7Wi4N0jliXqgLF8MST4OWHa1/s400/christmfroliclose.jpg" border="0" /></a>Now of course, you don't need this all together, and the bloomers are meant to work with all our knit ruffled dresses as well. That way you have a Christmas photo/church look as well as a darling Christmas morning look.

I have been driving, and driving, and sewing, and driving, and sewing some more...we are on the go! So far, Aspen will tell you she loves everything about school...although, I only get the funniest tidbits of what she says she does at school...mostly she tells me she plays...and then I get the memo of what they did, and it is more along the lines of we counted to 23 in both Spanish and French today, and the kids drew self-portraits...funny...what a kid!

Yesterday, while I was making dinner, they were outside and Aspen was setting up a garden of lemon trees all along the chaise lounge made of iron...she had had all these branches and flowers out, stuck into the iron slats so that London could have a 'lemon garden' to pick lemons from....all while lounging about on the chair. Seriously, that child is so creative....I love to hear what she comes up with...some days I want to make it a book, or have her make it into a book.

It has been such a transition to move my business online from running a boutique. Some days, I just want to go back to feel like I have the certainty of visibility with my customer base, but then I think, how visible is it these days? Who shops in boutiques anymore? Almost everyone I know uses the internet as their primary resource to shop for something unique. So here I am building a brand, with a voice that I hope is somewhat unique among all the other boutique children's lines out there!

<br />So today, amongst the sewing, London actually wanted to model for me! I wish I had some cute set up at the ready, but I knew I tried to make one up, she would be done and moment would be over, so here's our little impromptu shoot of one very cute new back to school design. I tried to pick some girlie colors for our girls who want pink all year, but twist it a bit into a fun fall, back to school look. I'm sure you will see more of this design, when it gets photographed for real! Maybe with some bloomers or lacettes...and a pretty light pink lace sleeved tee for the chilly days ahead!

She's excited to have new friends to follow her thru the ranks in the years to come! Mom might just have to whip up a new, little something for a new day and a new school!

I tend to like it to be over the top, as you can see...but we have recently found out how happy they can be with a dollar store apron. There is only one of them at my mom's house...and can I tell you how many arguments there have been lately about who gets to wear it...<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zieuHfFbFE1G0_CHKoyg0waE1aLUTDsef6aypTjHxVQ6rAUJhSKMaUdXkJAREP0DJlisOjwwuEreyoAFSH_-wn21wB7CrQdAob6_BdUN7g_KcgIOCpCb-PDu7nIg37PrVPPIqD5EXY0Y/s1600/teapant.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624200572941688882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zieuHfFbFE1G0_CHKoyg0waE1aLUTDsef6aypTjHxVQ6rAUJhSKMaUdXkJAREP0DJlisOjwwuEreyoAFSH_-wn21wB7CrQdAob6_BdUN7g_KcgIOCpCb-PDu7nIg37PrVPPIqD5EXY0Y/s400/teapant.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The full aprons are my latest creation, but the half aprons tend to be the present every little girl needs...and if you are lucky enough to attend the right birthday party, they could just be the presie that is given to each little girl attending the festivities! Yep, that's right, one of my customers had me do 30 of them last spring for her twins' birthday celebration. What a fantastic day that was! I actually handed off the task to my mama! I was so busy trying to stock my shop, run my shop, and take care of two wee girlies I knew I just could not do all of them. <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguAX5qfFe9MZtJ8gVJk2YKlA3naWSwCf9FXesliWWCR1cvIH8ki1h_p8nkpg94_KdLfBvOa3NtTh8Eni22a4qrv8yeZmIwNNAmNHDfQC9jUcGVCG7sI5nX3tbwRotYmB5Pub5pl-kkvu0W/s1600/london_with_cupcakes.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624200560285968738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguAX5qfFe9MZtJ8gVJk2YKlA3naWSwCf9FXesliWWCR1cvIH8ki1h_p8nkpg94_KdLfBvOa3NtTh8Eni22a4qrv8yeZmIwNNAmNHDfQC9jUcGVCG7sI5nX3tbwRotYmB5Pub5pl-kkvu0W/s400/london_with_cupcakes.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />So put your pearls on, break out the lace bloomers and throw on an apron...ruffles tend to make everyday happier! These are the French Market Aprons, all available now in my shop. Stay tuned, I am getting ready to make some fun fall and halloween aprons as well...I just cannot resist...as you all know, I love designing for halloween!!!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-i_Sp2aiOI12R2q2oXoKD9ke58iLfpga0QctFm9G8kXt1OX5fbys3nEsDDPipvOV4UIbQMwS-u2kE3M-sw-YZ4yzcLt5KnRbSkM93-t54OcBRfaBuhwTlyGlB6rxMe379WKPhwXM4sH6/s1600/london_with_watermark.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624200553115658898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-i_Sp2aiOI12R2q2oXoKD9ke58iLfpga0QctFm9G8kXt1OX5fbys3nEsDDPipvOV4UIbQMwS-u2kE3M-sw-YZ4yzcLt5KnRbSkM93-t54OcBRfaBuhwTlyGlB6rxMe379WKPhwXM4sH6/s400/london_with_watermark.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-26448414789929072092011-06-24T18:25:00.000-07:002011-06-24T18:46:38.179-07:00more photo love!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVvqN-wT33nZVvOqm40iqcp791bQytYJhplSwSDLFS4ITS0CPnpc4LcmYtMKjeT5B5l3VmSQgMzSFDNHAfkikH8tb94g3x6fb8I1Jp-0D-1q_c3MyiC_4ZMgmzMZJN4OWBRAMsxoKWw482/s1600/aspenknot.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621964722082699474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 327px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVvqN-wT33nZVvOqm40iqcp791bQytYJhplSwSDLFS4ITS0CPnpc4LcmYtMKjeT5B5l3VmSQgMzSFDNHAfkikH8tb94g3x6fb8I1Jp-0D-1q_c3MyiC_4ZMgmzMZJN4OWBRAMsxoKWw482/s400/aspenknot.jpg" border="0" /></a> I love this photo of Aspen, it is just the happy-go-lucky girl I see all the time without her shy exterior she tends to portray to so many people when they first meet her!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuMLy_qbxJQArRzKomZrGd7E4wkBihZzNYGTzRYS_1MJ9IAswSeB-pWKsmVAwhbxremDRMD-B6rzn53_SooAL7n46PhdVebQIbidChDJiyDbBoJ_lO3G75X0EZHDsPRErhzDGGWC72E4k/s1600/pumpkintwirl.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621964717298884930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuMLy_qbxJQArRzKomZrGd7E4wkBihZzNYGTzRYS_1MJ9IAswSeB-pWKsmVAwhbxremDRMD-B6rzn53_SooAL7n46PhdVebQIbidChDJiyDbBoJ_lO3G75X0EZHDsPRErhzDGGWC72E4k/s400/pumpkintwirl.jpg" border="0" /></a> I wanted to add a few tiered knot dresses to my fall line.

London's hair is perfect proof of the weather...Aspen's stayed in perfect, little ringlets the whole time, no sign of the humidity...London's is little miss frizz....Just like her mama!

I like to offer pants in the winter that can actually be warm and stylish, and this fits the bill for me! Peasant dresses always seem to be rather popular, and I haven't ever had them on an older model, so here you are! Once again the apron has the girl with her balloon...all in cream and gold... I will also be offering a version with the deerly deer that is one of my most popular fall/winter screenprints! <br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-1263091690906465772011-06-20T17:58:00.000-07:002011-06-20T18:16:58.081-07:00The whirlwind photoshoot!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-ZR5Q8ULczKCDUc6Vm3_WjO8yBQAyAdAFd-KO2V7k9bMvBchfd8wQMpkIn-ChhwJwaMmpgqEFkUn52-buHb9rQzInyrEtyzy7aSUJxUI5raZTWjJJIxkwehEWygcXzLbCimA2Hu130mr/s1600/madhatterskirt.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620472298506073586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-ZR5Q8ULczKCDUc6Vm3_WjO8yBQAyAdAFd-KO2V7k9bMvBchfd8wQMpkIn-ChhwJwaMmpgqEFkUn52-buHb9rQzInyrEtyzy7aSUJxUI5raZTWjJJIxkwehEWygcXzLbCimA2Hu130mr/s400/madhatterskirt.jpg" border="0" /></a> So here are some of the first images I have seen of this weekend's photoshoot!

You think when you are planning an outdoor session mid-june it will be really warm, not the case! It was rather chilly and wet!!! So we had to break out the cowboy boots to stomp around on the grounds!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijbG5a_IrQTVeXmMnZVthNE3zh9EMda3VN7bETwIbQFAiCsjsDeFquvkRO-asM1lrVWEeSjoWI1tqoGgFj7SSETikuDnUmfNjAPxc2ltcOgVdz-QSbVyE-epjfSxbhfhi4iFopQlpso4H/s1600/pinkknotdress.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620472278724433138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijbG5a_IrQTVeXmMnZVthNE3zh9EMda3VN7bETwIbQFAiCsjsDeFquvkRO-asM1lrVWEeSjoWI1tqoGgFj7SSETikuDnUmfNjAPxc2ltcOgVdz-QSbVyE-epjfSxbhfhi4iFopQlpso4H/s400/pinkknotdress.jpg" border="0" /></a> I had several sashes made by Chickapee Creations made to match our fall collection...they are super fun---can be worn as an actual sash or in your hair as well. And then the pictured hair pretty in these photos is by Filigree Flowers...sort of an everyday fascinator clip for the girlie girl! Aspen wore it out to lunch last week, and loved every minute of attention she had.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCc5BeQsvFt4XJ8ZP4BVku07ZovNKrvYzp33LgZHSkN9G_1BVW9x9V40ia6t-pTSTCnEpxNeGcw1GLIS0Rux7gJKfJsbuBercxWydDQJk9VAEVYqqjYzgXmr_ZzAcY2EwIy-KfhIbo8iz/s1600/longcoat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620472273938176482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCc5BeQsvFt4XJ8ZP4BVku07ZovNKrvYzp33LgZHSkN9G_1BVW9x9V40ia6t-pTSTCnEpxNeGcw1GLIS0Rux7gJKfJsbuBercxWydDQJk9VAEVYqqjYzgXmr_ZzAcY2EwIy-KfhIbo8iz/s400/longcoat.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />And this coat, yes it is a jacket....all lined in pink, in fact you could reverse it!

I am very excited, and I am under the gun to get it all done! So here is my current plan, for every order I am making right now, as soon as I finish I try to design a new fall piece...so hopefully the four girls will all be adorned equally as darling by the time next sunday rolls around! Designing is always so much fun for me, but sometimes, I put together fabrics over and over and they just don't work, and there goes two hours out of my day! Other times, I get it right away, and those times it seems I can do 3 pieces in two hours! I love those times...but you know when that happens, when I am under the gun to make it and get it done!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lFNx0h4dgDEV8p2W-N_F_T8kqvVQKiIpP7FCWUs8U4LwXEoBHjWVOIq6fwLwQih9r7XT5zE747H3ejpfXRom314TLA7hVHNJu0AQH9v8UbCCfqq7tLUvznIYEsONEKWyg8pjsp7HSoP2/s1600/ringaroundsm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616789886081048130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lFNx0h4dgDEV8p2W-N_F_T8kqvVQKiIpP7FCWUs8U4LwXEoBHjWVOIq6fwLwQih9r7XT5zE747H3ejpfXRom314TLA7hVHNJu0AQH9v8UbCCfqq7tLUvznIYEsONEKWyg8pjsp7HSoP2/s400/ringaroundsm.jpg" border="0" /></a> Thinking back to when I had Aspen, and started this little thing called Pipsqueak Couture...Pipsqueak Couture was just a logo onesie, a pipsie, with a ruffled bum...and now it flourishes into a large collection. Even just four years ago, it seems like it was so hard to find the fabrics that were just perfectly me! Now, I have to stop myself from thinking they all need to be a part of Pipsqueak Couture! Fabrics are stunning right now, and now I have two little girls to add their opinions of what they like...it is hilarious...I show them fabric one on one with me...so one can't see what the other picks...and what do you know, they both pick the same exact one...each and every single time! Just like clock work! It never ceases to completely crack me up! I hope they always love textiles as much as I do!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLPZh9VRBpWnGd7lwPxXkFmovVKZ3XxfKmlMAQn4cE_jEUelSOklQ4ucWmREDgLELKgsyZxszmvDEP_1KkxZ1zVW6lMyZbN1OczZPMAXQzAqwxYkCyYRr6TdKgI3gFTagp9916EnZf2Oyr/s1600/halpeaschair2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616789877387389442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLPZh9VRBpWnGd7lwPxXkFmovVKZ3XxfKmlMAQn4cE_jEUelSOklQ4ucWmREDgLELKgsyZxszmvDEP_1KkxZ1zVW6lMyZbN1OczZPMAXQzAqwxYkCyYRr6TdKgI3gFTagp9916EnZf2Oyr/s400/halpeaschair2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Last week I scored a ton of vintage ribbon, old store stock french florals....so you can look forward to that to be a part of the details in the collection! I am working them in bit by bit. I have really tried to mix things up a bit, so you will find darling items you don't already find in the custom boutique ever growning world of little girl's clothing! I have also paired up with a few different designers to bring you some extraordinary details to the next collection! Very fun for me because when each little, pretty accessory arrives, it is like Christmas to open the packages and have the girls try on all the pieces. Sorting out who models what is always interesting around here...it is a fight to the end over every last piece of goodness...each girl wants to wear each darling accessory! And if I try a hair piece on...you would think the world has ended around here...both scream at me that they are the models for hair pieces! I am so blessed to be able to do this, thank you all of you who make it possible for me to stay home with my girls and design and produce Pipsqueak Couture!<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-86449113693953112802011-05-28T20:02:00.000-07:002011-05-28T20:20:12.219-07:00Welcome Summer!<div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-L_yXHGq_KcJeskIk5N15c-UB7zmi8lOjMs9zIJpMq7Geh4MZ9KN0pW6uRZXf1I_luydLumfRzSrg4bbyC3cnrrgHivIRqIOaNqEaMdm0r13hW8_W3XNDnRSg8gUxF841EqNROmR5EeJ7/s1600/marketapronpant.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611968693795378194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-L_yXHGq_KcJeskIk5N15c-UB7zmi8lOjMs9zIJpMq7Geh4MZ9KN0pW6uRZXf1I_luydLumfRzSrg4bbyC3cnrrgHivIRqIOaNqEaMdm0r13hW8_W3XNDnRSg8gUxF841EqNROmR5EeJ7/s400/marketapronpant.jpg" border="0" /></a> Well, this is the start of summer right, Memorial Day weekend?

I love this little bib apron! It is just the essence of everything girlie! Tiers of ruffles and lace, and then matched up with these little linen and lace bloomers. Under it is all she was wearing one of the new summer sun dresses, that she loves --there is a dog on it, thus love! But she refused any pictures without the apron!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611970643798056546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 348px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTqZtmO4Nu7UjuNtCNe5uLiMeCbJW2pySQQpD6CpnaRqGT2LcAHZnWnjafCXXvRXIQewimdr0NKnQSpJz-6qn-v9XHMmOizts74XCZ5S4rRhcvmuY4_j6ZjYFTq998IPHh7v1qUbrPSox/s400/apronclose.jpg" border="0" />London looks like she is just waiting for her invitation to a mad tea party, what do you think? Her headpiece is one of the beautiful Miss Ruby Sue pieces from our last photo shoot.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrv5Qr6fmvE_X3k225pXmAsnIVI0qT48pCusg9Czdd05C8hf2fd8cbkxyVfRlcdDeWoucJ8j_9YfXaE11HNEfhOAQlC5xS8sWnhPhn3lgbQke2YsNn7oxGEFZ1NwdLT76JeiYunIjX0tx6/s1600/marketapron.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611968683219927154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrv5Qr6fmvE_X3k225pXmAsnIVI0qT48pCusg9Czdd05C8hf2fd8cbkxyVfRlcdDeWoucJ8j_9YfXaE11HNEfhOAQlC5xS8sWnhPhn3lgbQke2YsNn7oxGEFZ1NwdLT76JeiYunIjX0tx6/s400/marketapron.jpg" border="0" /></a> Aspen picked all sorts of snowball flowers for London to hold, and London just ate up every single minute of it!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611970642717910962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 395px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjQAxQ6xrjissP1Gbos27yzlSxcP8DsYP8z8V6pl4wT6MYkAzhxOEsID9XIRFszwhA8ac5_bOx74GC7LiaAE5evH5SVQqCjk1wFtaP4pxMX0F2K_ORfvWbsSh68xNgI6cbm80dZVTsTk6/s400/antoinettebloomer.jpg" border="0" />And the shoes...I love these, almost as much as London does! It's funny, Aspen refused to wear any dressy shoes when she was 2...it was only Lelli Kelly's for her...and London loves ballet shoes, she wants to wear them all the time...and yellow, well yellow is her favorite color, and so a match made in heaven was born...London and these wee shoes! All of the above is now available in my etsy shop....so order away...in the mean time I am off to whip up a couple new dresses! <br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-75561401200602036582011-05-20T20:32:00.000-07:002011-05-20T20:40:33.579-07:00Trunk Show!!!

Lots of orders, lots of photography requests as well! All in all, it is good...but I am behind in getting my invitations out! So I am offering my first local trunk show, post Couture boutique closing, with one of my fabulous ladies' clothing lines! It will be June 1st, Wednesday evening at 5 pm. One of my really close girlfriends has offered to host. I am thrilled, and you are invited! But as this is the internet, and it is her private residence, please contact me for the direct address. You can message on facebook, or etsy...whatever works is fine by me! I just finished up the invites to put in the mail now between a waking sickie toddler...seems she is getting up about every 40 minutes b/c she is just uncomfortable! So hopefully you get an invitation, if you are a blog reader, and would like one I am happy to send one! <br /><div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886208519572697208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181858402380895378.post-77244393127786393372011-05-14T18:29:00.000-07:002011-05-14T18:41:20.757-07:00Ahh...Luxembourg!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiAYounfiKVsgRtBO_7LrwqvFp7dziNJyIK2ucx7_RXxj-4ypmDwWgc26Zs-e953YUHYzprt160BUyO7J2cVQE7pvpFDdbPjsRZ4CXyyDPtffnHIlSN4IiN2YksQvLmvzODo3LBmCvPXB/s1600/knotrufflesclose.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606749790431812514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiAYounfiKVsgRtBO_7LrwqvFp7dziNJyIK2ucx7_RXxj-4ypmDwWgc26Zs-e953YUHYzprt160BUyO7J2cVQE7pvpFDdbPjsRZ4CXyyDPtffnHIlSN4IiN2YksQvLmvzODo3LBmCvPXB/s400/knotrufflesclose.jpg" border="0" /></a> Just thought I would quickly pop in to show you a few more new pictures of new summer designs. Love this ruffled knot top....I see so many things that continually look like versions of the same thing, I like to push the envelope a bit and add that girlie twist...so here is my next spin off a knot top. Charming and girlie, this will work with any sort of bottom. I like that it does fit a bit more than a lot of tops, but is a different option than a t-shirt.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55ESow79eEKquJ1WmTL91LAX9MWLlAwJ_60LKKp07GA1H8M3tcsepx_r0u1uoLlZ0OFO-M9wZGBfOHY7AK0uV-FEuKDPJlXAcPU5zKp8VSbiWNvmA63KL1GeWrFMWEv8aWHXxhKuTB6uW/s1600/knotrufflesfr.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606749791143161266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55ESow79eEKquJ1WmTL91LAX9MWLlAwJ_60LKKp07GA1H8M3tcsepx_r0u1uoLlZ0OFO-M9wZGBfOHY7AK0uV-FEuKDPJlXAcPU5zKp8VSbiWNvmA63KL1GeWrFMWEv8aWHXxhKuTB6uW/s400/knotrufflesfr.jpg" border="0" /></a> Can you even stand how cute this is?
