Matching Pants (of course)

The new dresses need matching pants of course...




New Knot Dresses - They Knot in the Back!






Made with Amy Butler fabric from her Love collection as well as some Michael Miller, Denyse Schmidt and a unique hot air balloon print for good measure. These look amazing on Lauren. The wide straps and generous use of fabric in straps and hem widths and linings give these a very high quality look. Even better than boutique...these are handmade heirloom dresses.

New Fabric

So Hancocks of Paducah was having a little sale on Amy Butler's latest collection Love (I couldn't believe it)! So I put a few yards in my shopping cart. Then I noticed another collection, Moda's Botany, that I'd had my eye on. Once those babies went in the cart they were marked down even more to $4 yard! The I spotted some Michael Miller fabrics on clearance too. Oh and some Sandi Henderson. Needless to say...stay tuned for some glorious new stuff!!

More Amy Butler LOVE!

Chicago Craft Social


I missed the last one because I was out of town or having a baby (I think it was both) anyway, there is another Chicago Craft Social on the books. This one is being held at Vineyard Church, which is awesome since I used to meet there for Community Bible Study. I know right where it is and they do have an awesome space. Plus it's close to my house. I will probably try to convince some girlfriends to go with me.

Tons of New Stuff in our Etsy Shop


The Lincoln Square Market got a lot of rain yesterday so we have brought our items online! You can shop for all our items, most ready to ship in our Etsy store. We have knot dresses, baby burp cloths, nursing covers and more. Most items make excellent baby shower gifts. You can have a gift that gets Ohhhs and Ahhhs because of the unique and lovely fabrics. It's certainly a boutique look!

Don't miss the lovely lemon knot dresses available in big sister and little sister coordinated outfits.

We also have a knot dress in the hot new fabric by Patty Young for Michael Miller: Flora and Fauna. This fabric features Luna moths and hummingbirds in a chic black, white, gray and lime color palette. (see picture in posting below).

Happy shopping.
