Eagerly awaiting Christmas...

Finally, after bouts of the swine flu...everyone is well and we have Christmas photos...I am still working on the tail end of addressing cards, but we are trying to enjoy the little moments of this beautiful season....

These photos are at my mom's house....just take a peek at how amazing the pink wonderland is! I am going to have to snap some photos, so you can see just how creative she really is. I think she needs to be one of the studios photographed for Where Women Create magazine....her things are truly breathtaking!

Just got back my vintage tea towels for my girlfriends for Christmas presents....these are little add-ons to their gifts! They are all monogrammed on the other side.

I just bought this stack of vintage towels from an estate liquidator....mostly because I loved the monograms so much....anyhow, it has brought about some great new ideas for the 2010 collection of Pipsqueak Couture, so stay tuned for some PC Vintage in the new year! Merry wishes and hot chocolate kisses!

My biggest tiniest fan!

Meet Audrey, this little darling is one of my dearest customers. Her mommy started shopping with me when Audrey was just a few months old, and this girl is so patient I can't even tell you! Her mommy is always trying new outfits on her, I mean multiple in a sitting, and this little lady is as patient as all get out! So here she is modeling her newest outfit for me!

My mom made her fab sweater, and the skirt is our tiered ruffle skirt in a beautiful pink, green and mocha combination. I do have to say, either it is easier to get good pictures of other people's children, or Audrey listens better than my girls; it was very easy to snap a few pics of this little chick!

Santa's coming!

The girls had their pictures taken with Santa on Sunday...they loved him! Mom snapped this pic while I was getting them on Santa's lap. We did get a darling picture of them, although in each picture one little one looked perfect, and the other not so much!

maybe Christmas cards...

Maybe today is a good day to start Christmas cards....and then maybe not!

The girls were dressed sort of matching this morning...so I thought I may try and do Christmas photos...think again...London refused to be part of the photo op! Aspen was left sitting all alone to watch her sister throw a fit!

Christmas skirts are here!

I just patterned a new skirt for the holidays! It is the cutest thing on ever! It is such a full skirt than even Aspen asked if she could do ballet while she was wearing it! It features darling Christmas fabrics, and some that are not Christmas all in tiered ruffles asymetrically throughout the skirt, sort of a retro look to the whole thing....

There are more detailed pics on the website, but Aspen liked sitting next to the Eloise tree at the shop the most, so she behaved the best for these pictures...when does it get easier for your model to start listening to you?

my new window designer....

So yesterday while Aspen was at school, I started to get all the Christmas decorations out and ready to tear apart the shop windows for redecoration. I had this idea that I wanted to take one of my children's mannequins and dress her up in antique trims. So then after Aspen woke up from her nap I asked her if she wanted to help me decorate for Christmas, and she excitedly said yes, she sure did! So I get the box of trims out, and off she went decorating this mannequin for an hour or so....Those of you who know me, know that this is so close to what I would have done, you wouldn't even believe it! Hard to believe I can now hire my 2 and a half year old to decorate my shop for me! It was so much fun!!!

She stuck birds and glittered stars and everything darling all onto this mannequin! I think it is perfect for my vision of my Christmas windows!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween...this is how the day started! Like I said, it is so difficult to get them both looking at the camera!!! We are very excited to trick-or-treat....Can't wait to see if Aspen will actually sing the whole song to everyone! Stay tuned for costumes!
