Spring Pinks Saturday

I just love spring, warm air and sun that lifts my head to the sky.  It is so much fun for me to make dresses for little girls, imagining them twirling and skipping, picking flowers from the garden, going to tea parties or sitting in church folding their hands all lady like like their mom, for those few minutes!! 

                      The details are my favorite  part!!

  I loved making this with a recycled Laura Ashley dress, beautiful vintage hanky and Cicely Barker Flower Fairy panel.  I have another style dress coming out in this Laura Ashley fabric as well; but I only had the one cherry blossom flower fairy that goes perfectly with this pink, gray and purple in a size 3T.

Doing the artwork on this apron is something I have been wanting to do for so long...finally got up the courage to try it on a dress, and it sold out!! The apron is from a recycled linen skirt.  But I found more of the main coral pink with yellow roses fabric,  so I am making a few more after customers really wanted me to find more fabric!

Here is the full dress with the bloomers (which I adore!)...This one is available just until March 20 or it sells out again, whichever comes first! 

So I am off to sew Easter dresses!  Happy Pink Saturday!

Isn't she adorable!!?  A customer/photographer took photos of her little sweetie wearing one of my flower fairy dresses.  I am finishing version 3 of it and listing the very last one today.  There is also a lavender version, with one left

I really love creating whimsical, sweet clothes for tiny girls to dance and imagine and have tea parties in....and for their mommys to take pictures that will be forever beautiful...I use almost all vintage and upcycled (saved from being thrown into landfills) fabrics and trims...I think recycling and reusing can be truly beautiful....What do you think?  I would LOVE to hear from you about what sizes you are looking for,
because in 2010 I sold most in size 12M, but this Spring, seem to be getting many for sizes 2T-5T  so it would help me to hear from you what size your little one is is you would be interested in my baby and toddler clothing.

 I admit that I used new fabrics in this dress...the trims and some of them are upcycled.

In the Depth of Winter

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was  in me an invincible summer."          

                             Albert Camus, Nobel Prize winning author

It is cold here.  Another big snow storm supposed to come in tomorrow and drop 1-2 feet of snow here.  Life has been full of storms the past few months.  So when I came across this quote today, it really took hold.  The apple blossom reminds me of seasons and change and hope.
...and I just love apple blossoms. Their scent, their colors, shape, and the promise of fresh home grown apples!  Spring, summer, are here within me.
  I've been finding comfort in sewing tiny spring dresses and ruffles and using the handmade laces of those artisans who have gone before me.  This is version 2 of my flower fairy dress...it is sold out now too, and I'm working on a new one in beautiful lavenders and peaches.

The beautiful collage at the top of the blog has my peach baby hat included with these other beautiful etsy item.  It  was so pretty, I decided to share it here.  You can click on any of the pictures to get to them directly on etsy.
