A new collection...Autumn Faire


Will be available in part..this weekend.



I am up late..always am..on the last night of Justin being home..he heads back to LA LA land tomorrow morning at 5am or so..I am currently just enjoying hearing the snoring from up stairs cause I know it won't be there tomorrow night. Oh man..this is harder everytime it happens..with Mads starting 4th grade out strong..she is doing amazing although we have had jealousy/bully issues from our neighbor friend..I am hoping (again!) that issue is somewhat over although I have my doubts..I think it will be an issue until Mads is out of school..but calm for now..the homefront is messy as usual but I get into a fall organizational mode and it won't take much time to get it all together..I have to get organized when the hubby goes away..I am it so I must organize! So life is pretty good...not much to complain about..I have loads of new idea's now that kidsfaire is done...and just trying to survive going to the grocery..food is darn expensive and it drives me insane..so bought a book called Grow Vegetables..I saw it at the store tonight and thought amazon might be cheaper and I was right..so late fall come less work..more growing..so more work actually! Our produce at the store here is good until it hits our fridge..than kaput it goes..I have a plot of land all laid out and have to really do this..think I can?? New goal..

My Little Volunteer




Mads is volunteering at the kennel we keep our doggies at when we go on vacation or work trips..last time we picked up the doggies she asked Gabby (the kennel lady) all on her own if she could volunteer..thought that was pretty cool for a 9 year old..her first day was Saturday and she loves it! She had so much fun with the pups and Gabby said she did an awesome job!

4th Grader...




She's a 4th grader! How did that happen! Just yesterday I feel like I was changing diapers...we were a little tired from our 18 hour drive from San Fran but we made the walk to the corner to the bus..she came home as excited as ever about school..she loves her teacher..she is bummed that her BFF isn't in her class but made a new friend that is here from Norway..Mads is a single friend type of gal and she will probably be your friend for life..she never gives up on you..my babe is no longer a babe..and look how cool her shoes are..stylin!

Saturday she is becoming the first volunteer at our local kennel..she asked herself and is so excited..wonder if she will mind if we sneek in and take pic's! I am super proud of her for asking and can't wait to hear her doggie stories.

Kidsfaire! Pic's...

Day 1...set up..we were amognst a few people that decided to show up early..I had never done a show by myself like this so I wanted to make sure we had all our stuff together..I think it came out just lovely...actually better than anticipated...plenty of clothes..looked cute..and my biggest thing..the shelves held up!
First day! I had butterflies but made my first sale within about 20 minutes and made a huge sigh of relief! I know I sell clothing but to do it in person and not online..a little crazy..but totally fun! I honestly can't wait for my next one!
Mads had a load of fun too..watching the Splash Dogs, Rock Climbing..doing rides..she stopped complaining that she missed the first day of school..thankfully cause I was getting tired of hearing it for 900 miles!


Mads telling me about her rock climbing experience..she in in Love!

Well Kidsfaire is done! We did it! Whahoo!!! Back to work tomorrow...we will get orders out the door and catch up.



Crash!

Hey ya'll...so my hard drive crashed and we are in the process of getting a new one. I will hopefully be able to get all the info I need off the hard drive onto my external hard drive but I am not sure at this moment..basically it is photo's and emails with sizing from the last few weeks..I may need to email for sizing. Just a pain..such is the computer age!

I will have photo's from Kidsfaire..super soon..thankfully Justin took loads and we have his computer so I am not computer less but just will be working to find all my info.

Thanks!

Kidsfaire!..and home james..

We had a fabulous time at Kidsfaire! It was hot hot hot..hitting 103 degree's on Saturday and a whopping 102 today..I got to meet Melinda and Lisa..both cutomers of BGR from the past and super fabulous ladies..totally cute kids..too and Melinda never told me she was a photographer so new models on the horizon!..Love that! We sold loads of stuff (whahoo!!) ..and we are also bringing home loads of stock so expect some new threads on the website and etsy..and a HUGE sale on eBay..coming in a few weeks. Let's just say I was over prepared..which was not a bad thing at all..just gives me the opportunity to give you guys a great deal! I just had no clue how many clothes we could fit in a 10X10 space..now I know! Learning something everday! I don't have pic's tonight..I am decompressing from the day..tomorrow we hit the road so we will be home on Monday..late..late..late! Back to full functioning work..Wednesday..all orders that are waiting for tee's will go out this week...and custom orders from the show will go out within 2-4 weeks.
Thanks guys!!
