Model Call

I am having a lot of fun with the new format ideas I have for "showing off" inventory. My ideas are ever evolving, and I am thinking of new things faster than I can get them done (both in terms of pictures for the websites and products). Also, I seem to be selling items quicker than I can list them, which is not a problem at all.....I simply need to do a mass overhaul on everything - and soon - and I am still waiting on my logo, etc. Thusly, I have a lot on my plate....but instead of liver and onions, it is like a lot of chocolate cake.

I am doing an informal model call. If you are interested in having your child on call for periodic shoots, or if you know someone who may be interested, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I need boys and girls ages 0-10. It will be very casual and very much "on-call" as I do various clothing pieces in waves and according to my whims. This will encourage me to 1) make a greater variety of sizes in my pieces and 2) avoid Alya overload on the websites. Trust me, she's cute but it is easy to get too much of her :)

A surprise for someone who isn't expecting it at all. I realized yesterday that all of our "babies" are rapidly approaching/have reached 4.......or are in their respective ovens cooking yet....and then BAM! I got news of a boy turning 1, and I whipped this out. Then I remembered a baby girl we love ever so much who is about to be 1 and, well, I must get to work on something for her. I may be a little late, but her gift will be done with much love.


Stroll pictures......we forgot to get pics of Adam at Lowe Mill Saturday. Thursday night's stroll was so much fun. If you missed it, plan ahead for July 15.






Shop will be closed this weekend for birthday festivities and all of the "STUFF" we have going on. I hope to have all the fresh new website yummies up before then. Fingers crossed.

Changes Ahead

I am sorry to note that changes will be coming to the sites - and not in a good way. Artisan collectives are frowned upon/not allowed in local community shows. They are allowed on our major online venue - Etsy, but the requirements are not user friendly and contractual relationships are not allowed. That is something I cannot be involved in or allow my fellow artisans to be invovled in.

So I just lost a ton of talent and fabulous wares. I will still be showing my items, however, if you joined my on Facebook for the other girl's things, they will be in their own venues now.

So, you can find the artists at their sites below. Some are in development (if there is no link). I hope they will keep me updated as they do things so I can share the news with you!
