PUBLISHED!

So last year I found this vintage sheet of adorable animals!!!

I saved the bunny rabbits.

My boyfriend wrote a story about a bunny rabbit named Penny, and you can follow her journey....while browsing all the dresses I made with this fabric.

The email will go out later this week, and you can see all the dresses NOW if you download the ebook!

I originally wanted to have the physical books ready to ship with the dresses, but for me to receive them (earliest April 4th) then to re-direct them to you is a little too close! You can also order directly to your home :)

Enjoy!!!

vintage linens

Ever since I visited this store, I've been collecting vintage linens.

I've been holding onto them..... trying to figure out how to incorporate them into my dresses, and I think I'm almost there! Love how these give extra volume to the bottom of my flutter sleeve dresses.

buying vintage = buying eco-friendly!

Yes, buying vintage is one way to recycle! And I think it's definitely stylish :) So many choices!

Here one of our favorite models is wearing a jacket found at 3ringcircus <- another favorite! The courtneycourtney dress was actually a surprise 'trust me' listing, revealed only after it was bought! It makes me so happy to see outfits like this come together, that pre-loved clothing has new life and is ready for many more adventures! Which make for great stories and memories.



This is back in the Fall... so many options!! So fun!

super-stripes! inspired by illustration!

I received this AWESOME drawing from a talented little artist!



I was so inspired I created this dress:



And here Serenity shows us how she wears her stripes!





COOOOL!!!

And, Serenity's vest is from 3ringcircus!

vintage mix!

I found this sweet corduroy jumper at 3ringcircus and wanted to see what outfit it could become!



I was inspired by the royal blue and touches of red, as well as the nostalgic, toddler feel of the jumper, to create a ruffle tunic that would peek through the center the same way the red pops from the blue.



Always-fashionable Serenity helps us model!





Oh hello Bamboletta Doll Haven! And you match too :p




See what else might remind you of your childhood, and inspire you and your children!
