At last! The annual Birthday Bash! We always get so excited about this special sale. Of course you know how it all got started - to celebrate Mom. (If you're new to this kind of fun, you can read about our first bash back here.) And we like to bring it back year after year, so we can give you the best-ever prices on all of our fabrics. This go round we're adding another category to the mix... select sewing patterns will be 50% off Monday through Saturday!!
We're so excited for Monday! Anyway, let's run through the details...
-The Bash will kick off on Monday, September 12th. (Just a day ahead of Mommy's birthday.)
-And the last day of the Bash is Saturday, September 17th.
-Each day we'll be selling at least two different fabric collections at 45% off!
-But each collection will only be on sale for ONE day. Just one.
-We'll let you know the night before what's up for the next day. Follow us on Facebook and check in here at the blog. Make sure you sign up for our newsletter, too!
-Once the party starts, the fabric sells out FAST.
-All orders are filled on a first-come-first-serve basis! This is very important to remember. We always do our very best to see that everyone gets all of the fabric they want! But you have to order early in the day, or you may not end up with as much yardage as you were hoping for. (And we would be very sad girls!)
-We would be happy to hold your order till the end of the Bash, if you'd like. Please be sure to mention whether or not you'd like us to do that for you.
-If you do want us to hold your order, we'll do our best to ship for less and send you a refund for the difference. Check out as normal, and we'll refund you at the end of the week.
-You are welcome to send a check or money order for your fabrics, but those orders will not be processed till the checks come through. Okay?
Questions? Just send 'em on over. And we'll get back with you as quick as we can!
Lots of love~

We've eaten s'mores. Twice. Hot dog cook-outs always call for s'mores (or in some cases just black marshmallows, right, Nanny and Aunt Nancy??)
We went to The Secret Garden in Horton's store. We just can't help ourselves. They have way too much pretty stuff!
Lounged on Paps & Nan's bed while we cleaned Nanny's closet. That was great! Our closet cleaning adventures go way back. Our Nan's never forgotten that way-too-small purple flowery knit outfit, have you, Nan?
We are constantly amazed at all the beautiful goodies Nan has put up in their home. Of course, it really just feels like our home too. What a fantastic way to use your necklaces as part of your home decor!
Naturally, a trip wouldn't be complete without spending time shopping here and there, and setting aside one particular day for antique/flea market shopping. Treasure Mart, is one whale of a place (three full stories high)! And, after shopping we had to eat at our all-time favorite Louie's Coney Island. If you're ever in Kokomo, IN you have to go there! Order a coney all the way--including cheese-- with a marshmallow coke, and seasoned french fries. It's bound to make your tummy happy!
On our two week trip we also spent a morning have a great photo shoot. More pictures coming soon, Lord willing!! We can't wait to share them!
We spent one evening making hodge-podge necklaces. We had to lay them all out in a row to see how each seperate necklace displayed the makers personality. Call us silly, but we love doing that kind of thing!!
We also had the greatest time spending a few hours with some sweet and great friends! (You might recognize Ashley and Gabrielle.) It was such a delight to realize they lived quite close to Paps & Nan. They invited us over for a meal -- thanks, Gabrielle, for the delicious homemade pizza (Apphia had to get her recipe), and we had so much fun getting to know them better! Ashley and I {Achaia} have so much in common. Sometimes it's crazy how often we'd pick the exact same stuff! A million thank yous for the lovely time, and we hope we can see y'all again soon!
To top all of this off we got to spend some great time with uncles, aunts, and cousins, go to the park, watch some old TV shows, add a new cheese enchilada to our crazy count, eat ice cream hot fudge sundaes, and just plain old be together. Can't get better than that!
There you have it. A quick overview of our past two weeks! What did you do?? More marie-madeline developements coming soon so stay tuned! Much love~ just us xxxx
