the first pumpkin!

We grew pumpkins for the first time this year...and today Aspen took the first one to show and tell! She loves these little pumpkins and has tended to them all summer....can't wait to see how they taste!

Aspen's new look for fall...

Aspen has decided she needs hats...hats for school for fall...so she will be adorned in the lastest Pipsqueak Couture hats for toddlers come fall...if it ever arrives...I think it was about 88 degrees the day I took this photo...maybe why she was insistent to stay inside and take a picture!

Cute none the less though, right? I always feel like when she smiles this big is the only time she looks much like me. Ha! I will take what I can get from her!

a quick peek of the mini halloween pettiskirt...

These are a few more pics I had taken of London when I was trying to capture the deerly damask dress...so once again here we are with the food in the pictures to manage to snap a shot of little missie in this skirt!

The hearts are trimmed in black glitter which you see I didn't really capture in these photos, but this skirt is so darling in person! Ultra girlie, and one of those skirts that a child will want to wear all the time, not just for halloween!

Deerly Damask...

So I was going to post more Halloween stuff, but I thought I just had to juxtapose London from last year, to London in 2010..wow, what a difference year makes! So here are your first sneak peeks of Deerly damask.....a twirly, comfy dress fit to open presents in! This is the red version, and there's currently a chocolate/pink/gold version and a chocolate/aqua/gold version as well in the long sleeves.

It is just beyond cute in person....and perfectly holiday...I wish I had my Christmas babylegs around when I dressed London so you could get the full effect! I will also offer a garden ruffle pant in a christmas fabric to match.

Are you thinking about Christmas Couture?

I was just going thru images of Christmas from 2009, to see the designs I was going forward with...and I came across miss London....such a little peanut....and now she is full on toddler/little girl, not like a baby...how quickly it changes! It makes me wonder if I am going to have as difficult a time getting some good Christmas pics of my girls together. I told my mom I wanted to take Christmas photos in October so I could have a good start on things.

None the less, my etsy shop is being stocked up with not only Halloween clothing but now I am working on Christmas....this sweet dress is one I can't resist keeping in the line! Baby size only, up to 24 months. There is a great version I am doing in a long sleeve damask twirl dress...in red, green and gold. One version will have this bird...and one will be even more festive with a deer and pine cones....and lots of flourishes! Those dresses will be stocked from 6 months to 6 years.
