Busy Bees

Been so busy around here totally hectic but quiet on here.

Finally named the dog and I can stop calling her "baby" as I settled on "Misha" - thanks Marnie send me an email for your thank you gift. So hard choosing and I loved them all!

The majority of orders have shipped and I will be finishing up today. Back ordered Charli tanks still have a wait. Huge thanks to my dear friend Stephanie for flying out here in a blizzard to come help. We got dumped on but it did not slow us down. She keeps me going when I want to take a break and play :)

Also thought I would post a photo of how the Paris Twirl dress fits and ties at the neck, just in case you are a bit confused as I am sure I would be. the flat front is the chest and the elastic is the back. Straps go over the shoulder, through the button holes and back up around neck like a halter. Pretty complicated but I promise you will love it!


Summer is also in full swing and I am in love with these fabrics! Hope to be able to share some photos in a couple weeks

Thanks!

Am I crazy?

really I must be, because I had several moments of weakness over the last week which resulted in this....



Yeah, she's the cutest. I promised my husband that we would have next to no accidents and I would work hard to train her. Must be some mid 30ish thing I am going through....choosing a puppy over having a 3rd child seemed much easier at the time.

So what is in a name? A name is who you are and really says a lot about your personality. I have several in mind for her but can't seem to settle on one. I think I am caught up in the business of Loves Me Not now and cannot focus, maybe there is a drink for that?

Leave a comment with your choice for a name and if we choose it I'll send you something sweet!

Packing of orders starts tomorrow and daily shipments will go out via priority mail so be on the lookout! I will do my best to send them in the order they were placed but sometimes later orders go out earlier than others so please be patient :)

Stay Tuned


I have been quite the busy bee and not had much time to get back with emails and blog.

Working on Summer and have it all ready to go so stay tuned - lots of bright and fun prints!

My father-in-law also gets to come home today after 12 long weeks in the hospital. I can say that I am looking forward to spending family time in a normal atmosphere! My father and grandfather are continuing with their treatments and I have high hopes for both of them.

Spring orders will begin to ship next week and you will have them before Easter just in time.

Also having some server issues today so if you cannot get to the website check back later.

Hello Charli!




What a crazy day yesterday was. I am happy to say the cart functioned well and nothing was oversold. Some on you may have had issues grabbing some items on your wish list and had a challenging time if they were already in others carts.

I did decide to add a few more Charli Tank Dresses this morning and these are on backorder for approx 5 weeks.

Growing Pains

*Update*
The cart system was updated and is doing a great job. The problem is with shoppers holding items in their carts and not checking out, so it is not releasing them back into inventory for an hour. I have changed this to 15 min so be assured that there are still plenty of pieces left and hope this makes things move smoother for all of you. thank you for the patience.
***********************************************

I can honestly say growing pains stink, my fortune cookie totally lied today. Yeah I cheated on my diet and indulged in some Panda Express, one of my favorites and now I remember why I don't eat like that anymore.

So the site is experiencing much too traffic to handle now and for some reason certain pieces are locked up. I still have plenty but it wont allow shoppers to put them in their carts. Please be assured that there are more pieces left and even the Charli tank dress too. Tech support is looking into it and checking for server issues. Nothing is ever easy is it?

So with this I can say that internet sales are most likely coming to an end after this release and we will be expanding our program to trunk shows to make everything a bit easier, or not, knock on wood.

Smiles

Happy Shopping, the site is live thank you for your patience :)

waiting game

Testing still in the works with the cart. I will definitely post here when the site is ready - thanks
