Beauty of a Child

Couldn't resist posting a few shots of my girl that truly inspire me!
The sweetness in her eyes, the innocence in her expressions. The depth of her personality, melts me every time:)
The photographs..... I can only hope to convey the measure of beauty that exists in all children.

I also found this poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson that is so true!
" The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child"


AND, THE ~LOVES ME NOT~ ETSY SHOP IS OPEN!!!
COME AND CHECK US OUT :)

Loves Me Not Preview

My last preview before the actual opening of our Loves Me Not etsy store!!
Aside from the occasional whine, lol, Isabel and I had a ball doing pics! We celebrated with a Happy Meal of course:)
Don't forget to check out the Loves Me Not blog too for more previews!
Did I mention that I LOVE this fabric! Anna Maria Horner really nailed it with this collection, the colors are so rich and scream fall weather!
Too bad I don't make clothes for myself, I would definitely be sporting something with this line! Ya, don't make the big girls clothes. LOL
Maybe someday....... or NOT :)

Sneak Peek!

Hi everyone! Here is a little sample of what is coming for The Loves Me Not debut!
We had a little bit of a late start, the labels came from Hong Kong and took a little longer than we wanted. AND the fabric, talk about slow, took about 6 weeks. We finally had to order from a different person just to get it quicker.
But we got it and will be opening the etsy shop sometime towards the end of the week!
How exciting!!

Isabel's Shirt : " I don't let school interfere with my social life", HA

7:30a.m. OMG, it is way too early!
Jack is definitely NOT looking excited! Poor babe!
OMG, he is so tired!
Bus 17 with Ms. Edie!

Wow, what an easy morning for Isabel!! Which means an easy morning for ME! Last year was not pleasant with the two of us. LOL. Jack is soooo easy in the morning but Isabel likes to take her time and change her mind about clothes and of course, NOT GET OUT OF BED!
Jack has been fighting a cold and looks drugged for his pics. He also was not too crazy that his 4 best friends are not in his class:(
But all in all, they both had a good morning and liked their teachers! YEAH!
3rd grade for Jack, gosh he is getting so big and it is happening too fast!!
1st grade for Isabel, I can't believe it!

Oh, had to post this shot of my favorite flower, Lazy Susan :)
Shot with my NEW 85mm lens!

~Believe~

Hi everyone! I just listed this darling piece for the Boutique Eden launch. You can check it out here. I have a bunch of items on order for new pieces, cool chains, gorgeous briolettes. Can't wait to get my hands on them!!
First day of school is tomorrow! They only go for a couple of hours which in my opinion is a waste, lol. Must be an exercise to get the mom's up and moving, HA.
Thursday will be the first full day. Hopefully everyone will go to bed EARLY tonight:)

~Loves Me Not~

Only one week left and back to school! Yipee! LOL.
There is a part of me that is still sad though, being home without my babies, they grow up so fast. I am sure on the first day of school I will be a huge baby as usual. And then I will remember the fighting and screaming and running around constantly.... Then I am back to being excited! :)

AND now for some awesome news!
You are probably wondering about the very cool logo above?? What the heck is "Loves Me Not"?
My great friend, Amy and myself are working on a line of clothing for girls! The debut Winter '08 line will be called "Ice Bouquet". Gorgeous fabrics with lots of rich colors and pops of ice blue. We will be featuring our designs on etsy. Vintage simplicity at its best!
Will keep you posted! :)

Hedgehog Fairytale

Lets pick all of the berries off of the bayberry bush and throw them high into the sky! Isabel had a blast, it was the highlight of the photo shoot:) Here is my latest for the VendeMia Fairytale launch. You can check it out here.
