I love the colors & prints. I'd love to see purples & teal combination. We have 5 sons & 1 daughter. I'd love for us, 'girls' to have matching skirts.
Posted by: Priscilla | November 16, 2009 at 09:57 PM
What do you think about my daughter, myself & her doll having matching skirts? or matching bags?
I like this about your studio, "..where practicality becomes beautiful!"
Too often pretty stuff can't be washed or it isn't practical...so, I don't use it as much as I'd like for fear of spoiling it.
Posted by: Priscilla | November 16, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Your things are so beautiful, but most of all I like that you are a family business! How special to work as mother and daughters, making beautiful things! As for the future....I especially like the layered skirts for little girls and the sales and free shipping!
Posted by: Jen | November 16, 2009 at 11:39 PM
I LOVE all the colors! I am a colorful person, especially bright pastels! All your fabrics I absolutely love! And I am a bag addict. I love bags and never can have enough of them!

This site is going to be dangerous for me! I plan on referring my MIL, DH, and mother to it when they say, "What do you want for Christmas?" Then doing the same thing in Feb. when they say, "What do you want for your birthday?"
Posted by: Susie | November 17, 2009 at 03:57 AM
The vibrant colors and patterns and how they all seem to go together is a happy way! That's what strikes me when I look at your things.
