New Clutch Preview

Hello, everyone! First I must say, please excuse the new blog layout. We have hired Sarah of <a href="http://www.sadieolive.com/">Sadie Olive</a> to redo our blog and it will hopefully be done at the end of July. I am so so so excited about it! Until then I am playing around with some templates because I really want to be able to upload larger photos. I am still messing around with this so please forgive me. I think earlier today airplanes were showing up on the sidebars and I most definitely was not going for that look. Haha!<br /><br />Here is a little sneak preview of some of the new clutches my sister, Jamie, is working on that we will debut when we reopen our shop in August. I will show you some better photos later that include pictures of the lining (which might be my favorite part - they are lined with beautiful fabric that adds a fun little punch!) Anyway, the first one is a bridal clutch that is basically finished and the second one is a clutch that could have multiple uses that is still being tweaked (we are playing around with different flower options and sizing of the flower, etc). I am so excited about them! I especially LOVE the large ruffle at the top of the bridal clutch!<br /><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">This one is made from Marshmellow Cream Silk Dupioni</span></em></strong> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90D1kogkqUWqGzRE_CuUSWogwK16mbg_NO7SdBRwiDTYgphwRa8UR4eL6epzwHY9kW4doAjUkKPrZ55ef15uFPl9ZRrKQWIeZClqZCQOCL5nqG0SrAO0iqMXTgCI8pKW6k_BxRAQjyViV/s1600/Bridal_Cream_2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488276843019128066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90D1kogkqUWqGzRE_CuUSWogwK16mbg_NO7SdBRwiDTYgphwRa8UR4eL6epzwHY9kW4doAjUkKPrZ55ef15uFPl9ZRrKQWIeZClqZCQOCL5nqG0SrAO0iqMXTgCI8pKW6k_BxRAQjyViV/s576/Bridal_Cream_2.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsc37LzQ61aFsnVkMHHhQOXaY3g5htglVShAql44CaM8HZE3UbHDCfrEQ-aGQufIeZiCpiLZJ1WRyeaqqL1-EgK434OMW2Kesb4cmrom_t8_h7ipzV1LoDfRw5J6ntPVkx9aU57WZKNCJ/s1600/Bridal_Cream_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488276836951493186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsc37LzQ61aFsnVkMHHhQOXaY3g5htglVShAql44CaM8HZE3UbHDCfrEQ-aGQufIeZiCpiLZJ1WRyeaqqL1-EgK434OMW2Kesb4cmrom_t8_h7ipzV1LoDfRw5J6ntPVkx9aU57WZKNCJ/s576/Bridal_Cream_1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><strong><em> </em></strong><br /><p><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">And this one is made from a linen colored muslin</span></em></strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwb6G_7bSPrWhuAf0YzxXAHGioHVo-AavRBQ3hWf5I-ptRz-y3rO322eohCPqJ2_7SmfP9xle80acxi1LXB2w0Vqm-BQJMFX_dDS5URPNYp0EXC0f800m9yb_Otn1yb_lTpM_qg9QeJjo5/s1600/Muslin_2%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488276829040473330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwb6G_7bSPrWhuAf0YzxXAHGioHVo-AavRBQ3hWf5I-ptRz-y3rO322eohCPqJ2_7SmfP9xle80acxi1LXB2w0Vqm-BQJMFX_dDS5URPNYp0EXC0f800m9yb_Otn1yb_lTpM_qg9QeJjo5/s576/Muslin_2%5B1%5D.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJLNTK9YaPl5ILlA0qGKssEsOSYffyiDdV3jcciOz6XXLfTxc_L9yyBok7YyiQG0aOou9knBQFUD1jjwgpiAiblOmZruIOMJTcAW34_OkNBRL2NMs37sbnO00t9e2HICg71bk1_9QlGub/s1600/Muslin_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488276314861331458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJLNTK9YaPl5ILlA0qGKssEsOSYffyiDdV3jcciOz6XXLfTxc_L9yyBok7YyiQG0aOou9knBQFUD1jjwgpiAiblOmZruIOMJTcAW34_OkNBRL2NMs37sbnO00t9e2HICg71bk1_9QlGub/s576/Muslin_1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">She also sent me a few adorable pics of Lillian from when we were up in NH a couple of weeks ago.

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours was quite busy, but a lot of fun and so hot I thought we were all going to melt (it has been between 100 and 105 pretty much all week!). It was an exciting weekend because <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Lillian Annabel said her name for the first time</span></strong>. We all call her something different from Lillie, Lillian, Lillabel and Lillie Belle and even the occassional Lil. Her vocabularly has considerably expanded the past couple of weeks and I thought I was going to be able to get her to say Lillie because I thought that would be easiest for her, even though I prefer to call her Lillabel because it means "beautiful lilac" which has great meaning to me. I am in a hurry now so I won't explain it, but I will at another time. Anyway, my sister, Dana, was watching her and they were in a candy shop that Lillie had dragged her into (yes, thanks to my sweet tooth Lillie knows where every chocolate shop in town is - haha) and the girl behind the counter asked what her name was. Dana was about to answer for her, seeing how she's never said her name before and Lillie chirped out "Lil Belle"! Haha! Dana said that she said it twice and then she said it for us about 5 times later that night! It is amazing how much pride you can feel as a mom over such a simple thing!<br /><br />The rest of the weekend was quite hectic. We have been busy getting ready for our July plans. My hubby is a college basketball coach and that means that every July he is basically gone for the entire month because that is their biggest recruiting period. He has a pretty crazy schedule most of the year and is gone a good bit, except for May and June. That is why those are quickly becoming my favorite months!<br /><br />Last year when he left, Lillie and I went to New Hampshire to be with my family for the month and that is where we finally got Dear Lillie off the ground. We are going to do the same thing again this year and head up there this week. I already have my sewing machine up there, now I am just running around trying to figure out how to pack all of my supplies and making lists, all while finishing up all of the orders that need to go out before I leave. I hate that Jon has to be gone for so long. It is going to be so much harder this year because Lillie is older now and is really going to miss him! They have so much fun together. I am looking forward to doing more Dear Lillie brainstorming, though, getting some new products made, refilling some of our in-stock items and I am really excited about our professional photo shoot with Pizzuti Studios. Anyway, that is just a little tiny update on what is going on here. I have lots more to share especially about some changes coming to our blog and a few other things but I really need to get sewing if I am going to get all of my orders out before I head out of town, so I had better get working, but first:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkOtva2Q9WVD1mmLXV1RlWz6ZmkSY3ar5doEKRCSEtL5rKbpf2LjLxW0DN8oayggPEDr00eg5UihibG4GAh8WLs_kHmNChnUrHFCcfOpT6fuNNEpQOc6x7D2vtWCG-88zPi0-LbeuAae0/s1600/winner.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487650040691059794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkOtva2Q9WVD1mmLXV1RlWz6ZmkSY3ar5doEKRCSEtL5rKbpf2LjLxW0DN8oayggPEDr00eg5UihibG4GAh8WLs_kHmNChnUrHFCcfOpT6fuNNEpQOc6x7D2vtWCG-88zPi0-LbeuAae0/s400/winner.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 167px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><strong>The winner of the Annabel Tank Giveaway is:</strong><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;">Alisha!!!!!<br /></span></em></strong><br />(I may be blind but I can't find your e-mail address anywhere and when I click on your name I can't find one on your blogger profile either - so PLEASE e-mail me at <a href="mailto:dearlillie@hotmail.com">dearlillie@hotmail.com</a> tonight to let me know what size you would like and your address! ) Thanks so much! <strong><em>And thanks again to all of you who entered!<br /></em></strong><br />I plan on doing a few more posts before I leave and then as soon as I get settled in up in NH we will be hosting <strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">another giveaway</span></em></strong> so keep checking back!<br /><br /><strong>And last, here is a link to a gorgeous post I just read on </strong><a href="http://urbanfarmgirlandco.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Urban Farmgirl's </span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">blog</span></strong>!

Silhouette Pillow

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Happy Friday!</span></strong> First, I just want to remind everyone we will be <strong><em>closing our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Etsy</span> shop later today at around 5:30 and won't be reopening until August 16<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>!</em></strong><br /><br />Second, don't forget to <strong><em><span style="font-size: 130%;">enter out giveaway for one of our Annabel Tanks</span></em></strong>. Giveaway ends Sunday! (You can add entries through the day Sunday and we will announce the winner Sunday night).<br /><br />Okay, and now on to my post:<br /><br />One of the things that I have really loved about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Etsy</span> is that is brings back into play the old-fashioned bartering system. Jon thinks it is quite hilarious, but I LOVE it. (Actually, seeing how we haven't had to buy anything for Lillie in quite some time - he loves it too!) For the most part I only do trades for things for Lillie but a few weeks ago I saw these pillows at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LaceyInTheSky">Lacey In The Sky </a>and couldn't resist! She was willing to do a trade and these arrived yesterday! How cute are they?

The Audrey Hepburn Tutu

Finally, here are some pictures of <strong><em><span style="font-size: 130%;">our newest tutu, the Audrey Hepburn</span></em></strong>! My mom told me she had made this newest design weeks ago and I had her send me one so Lillie could model it. Well, to say it was an unsuccessful modeling session would be an understatement! She refused to stand or sit still and it was almost 100 degrees out that day. We both ended up soaked in sweat and I didn't not end up with a single usable shot! Argh! I ended up waiting to retake them when we were up in NH last weekend for my cousin's wedding. It was a warm day, but MUCH cooler than it has been down here in VA so it went so much more smoothly and I am so much happier with these shots. Of course, then my computer died before I could finish editing them so it has been a whole 'nother week! So, <strong><em>finally</em></strong> here it is.

We Have A WINNER!!!!

Well, I FINALLY got my computer back! This really nice boy named Tim spent the last week working in it. It looked like it was going to be toast, but he was able to get it running again....at least for now, anyway. I am having some trouble still with Photoshop, but at least my computer is turning on! Haha! So, now I have a ton of posts to do. I have so many e-mails, convos and comments to catch up on tonight, though, so this one will be brief! I knew we needed to announce the winner of our latest give-away today, though, so here is a quick post to announce our winner (and, of course, a few shots of Lillie).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">So, here is what the True Random Number Generator came up with for us:</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNMUO0pdsxmxVsnPDRrbbwDBIIXLtYfn9Az-ZZiK5mV5ZRZYU6K9EgbiHacD1yiGttkg_ims0cAma075WQwq7PRb3aKOEltX-zNB_JFjtqJmzzzUUkG7NGNkRPVIo9-O1p44m5IujJlbF/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485073424041524066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNMUO0pdsxmxVsnPDRrbbwDBIIXLtYfn9Az-ZZiK5mV5ZRZYU6K9EgbiHacD1yiGttkg_ims0cAma075WQwq7PRb3aKOEltX-zNB_JFjtqJmzzzUUkG7NGNkRPVIo9-O1p44m5IujJlbF/s400/Untitled-1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 206px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 179px;" /></a> Yay!!!! <span style="font-size: 130%;"><strong><em>Congratulations to Shanna of the blog </em></strong></span><a href="http://shannalane.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><strong><em>Miss Arkansas Bride</em></strong></span></a>! Yay!!!! You win both the ring-bearer pillow and the clutch! (How fitting that you actually could use the pillow as a ring-bearer pillow! I thought for sure it wouldn't be a bride that won and it would end up being used as an accent pillow).<br /><br />Don't forget to check back as we will be hosting another fun <strong><em><span style="font-size: 130%;">give-away later this week</span></em></strong>! And check back tomorrow for a post with photos of our newest tutu, the <strong><em><span style="font-size: 130%;">Audrey Hepburn Tutu!</span></em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><em><br /></em><br /><em><br /></em><br /><em>And of course, I can't leave you without a few photos of my little Lillabel! She loves to help husk the corn on the cob. Here she is doing it out on the daybed on our back porch. For some reason she LOVES the corn raw and can pretty much eat a whole ear that way. She doesn't like it as much once it is cooked. She also enjoys biting into each ear to find the one she likes best before chowing down.

The Chronicles of Windy Ridge

<p>Well, I STILL don't have my laptop and therefore don't have my photos or my editing programs, so I thought I would do a post on one of my FAVORITE blogs. Over the past few months I have shared several blogs that I enjoy reading. There are so many beautiful blogs out there that I have fallen in love with, but there are two that I especially enjoy because of how inspiring they have been to me. They were the first two blogs I discovered and they quickly sucked me into the world of blogging. Not only are they beautiful blogs, with stunning photography, they are written by young women with families who run very successful handmade clothing and accessory lines. How they juggle everything that they do, is completley beyond me, but it has truly been inspirational to follow their journeys. One of them is <a href="http://www.joyfolieblog.com/">Joyfolie</a>, which I shared with you all a<a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/joyfolie.html"> few weeks ago</a>, and the other one is the <a href="http://edensbouquet.com/blog/">Chronicles of Windy Ridge</a>, which I want to share with you now.</p><p>The <a href="http://edensbouquet.com/blog/">Chronicles of Windy Ridge </a>is written by Jennifer, the woman behind <a href="http://www.edensbouquet.com/">Eden's Bouquet</a>. If you haven't ever checked out Eden's Bouquet I highly recommend you do. It is such a visual treat! She has such a gorgeous style and I love the vintage feel that everything she does portrays. She is also gorgeous and when you see a picture of her you will NOT believe how many children she has! (I am not going to tell you, you will have to head on over there to find out). I dream of having a houseful of children like that - although, I still need to do a lot of convincing of poor Jon! Haha!</p><p>Anyway, here is just a sampling from her blog:<br /></p><br /><strong><em>Here are some photos of her home:</em></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJXTBuQRfEiNv29ajSV0zrFJhfz5o_POm2cFuUJjKBygtQYPnQZ8SlJ0tVetd4H5bCoPr_5vmtavaFCxQxvSaK3y0kIPnhHgXOlpzQ67mCNyG2EQ5JmSklibwpMQsp0AtOa1GSYIh3OWZy/s1600/december-2009-171-blog.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483999966793999490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJXTBuQRfEiNv29ajSV0zrFJhfz5o_POm2cFuUJjKBygtQYPnQZ8SlJ0tVetd4H5bCoPr_5vmtavaFCxQxvSaK3y0kIPnhHgXOlpzQ67mCNyG2EQ5JmSklibwpMQsp0AtOa1GSYIh3OWZy/s400/december-2009-171-blog.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
