Rock Star Party!

Olivia turned five on August 17th.  We celebrated with a rock star party on
August 22nd at the Sequoia Lodge - a part of Oakland Parks and Recreation. 
It was a great day and a great venue.  Here are a few photos from my friends
Claire and Michael.  I don't know why I didn't get any photos.  Too busy
hosting this fun event.  I almost forgot to tell you we had a band come and
play!  My neighbor is 12 and his band is called halfway.  They did a GREAT
job.  You can see their performance here.  Enjoy!

Vintage Joy

I'm in LOVE with these vintage button bracelets.  Each one is so pretty and
unique.  Lisa from Vintage Joy hand picks each button and has such a great
eye for design.  I also sell her vintage button earrings and rings.  These  one
of a kind pieces make a great gift!

Happy Birthdy Olivia!

Today Olivia turns five.  I can remember the day we brought her home from
the hospital.  She was so little and fragile.  I thought for sure I would drop
and break her!  Today I look at her and see such a funny, loving, creative little
girl.  I'm looking forward to watching her grow.  Happy Birthday sweet girl!  I
love you.

I'm excited to let you know about a couple of new giddy giddy items in
the shop.  So many customers have been asking for the "big girl" hair clips.
Well, the wait is over!  They have arrived and are ready for you to scoop
them up!  I also wanted to make you aware of the new ADORABLE
headbands from this ever growing collection.  A great selection right now.

Modaspia Pre-Fall

The Modaspia Pre-Fall collection has arrived!  Some old favorites
like the Fiji Dress and Pintuck Blouse are available in new fabrics
and new to the collection is the Cotton/Linen blend Pintuck Dress.
This style is a staple for your wardrobe and will become your new
favorite.  These pieces are great for now and easy to incorporate
into Fall.   Stop in soon to make sure you get your size!  I couldn't
keep these styles in over the summer - especially the Fiji Dress.
