A New Take

Here is a fresh new take on the Bye Bye Birdie Top ($38 ). My little one wore this to school and said that 100 people said that they liked her top. Normally I would think that this was an exaggeration. But, this top is so stinking cute, I really believe that it truly could have been 100! She started naming names and it was pretty close!

I will be at the Goddard School's Holiday Bazaar(Spout Springs) on Friday, December 4th from 2:30pm-6:30pm. I will have cash & carry, and I will be taking orders from the fall line. I will have Gretta Clippys and other accessories available as well. I hope you will stop by and see us.

I am getting into the Christmas spirit early this year. Going to Deck The Halls tomorrow. It just comes and goes so fast, I want to savor it for as long as I possibly can. I can give Thanks just the same on Thursday with a tree in the family room, right? Hope you all had a great weekend!

Holiday Collection

I am getting photos together from the Holiday designs. It is taking me a few days longer than I stated. I have had some computer issues. My computer has been temperamental this week and will only turn on if I threaten to throw it out of the window. Maybe this is a sign that I should ask Santa for that new MacBook I have been dreaming about?

Here are two pieces that I love. The 12 Days Of Christmas Dress ($48) with Cranberry Ruffle Pants($34). This little pairing can be worn to each and every event on your calendar. The dress is a peasant style that is super comfy and can also be worn with a red sash for a more tailored and festive look. The pants are made of the softest fabric that one can buy. She will think they are PJ's. I wish that I had a pair this soft. I will have more fun stuff soon. It is late and I must say night night.

I Gotta Get Through This

I feel like I am moving in double time, all of the time. I have just gotten home from my sons Thanksgiving Feast at school. They had it a bit early due to some testing for the bigger kids next week. Although I always enjoy being there with him and getting to see him in his school setting, I got in the car and did a mental "CHECK", checking that task off of my imaginary to do list. I felt bad, but I live in fast motion. My new theme song is Daniel Bedingfield's: I Gotta Get Through This.

I gotta get through this, I gotta get through this
I gotta make, gotta make it, gotta make it through
Said, "I'm gonna get through this, I'm gonna get through this
I gotta take, gotta take my mind off of you"

Ok so it is a love sick song, but the chorus reminds me of my life. I am constantly checking things off with a sigh of relief. How do I stop the madness? And everyone that I talk to is doing the same thing. I am going to make myself learn how to slow down and really take it all in. Slow down and enjoy every minute with my children...because that is what really matters!! My big baby boy has thanked me so many times for coming today and my heart just melts every time. I am really going to do this slowing down thing, I am going to stop over extending myself and focus on my three scrumptious little munchkins. Are you with me???? Don't worry..I will still have time for Gretta LaRue too!

I have several pieces of the holiday collection finished and will give you a sneak peak tomorrow. I have to take some photos. CHECK.......

Little Lady

I received this perfect little picture of my neighbor and friend's little lady, Isabella. I say little lady because that is exactly what she is. She is a perfect example of manners and grace. She is one of Gretta LaRue's biggest fans and GLD is one of hers as well. She wore the Harvest Peasant Dress ($48) to an outdoor wedding this weekend and stole the show! I can see why!!! Thanks Rhonda for sharing your sweet girl with us!


I am working hard to have holiday designs out this week. Keep checking for goodies!

New Old Sofa

I scored the most awesome vintage sofa during one of my outings this week. I stumbled upon it and immediately had a vision for it! The perfect prop for photos of some new Gretta LaRue (coming soon). It has kicked my motivation up a notch to get these pieces finished. And here it is....

iiiiiiiiiii love it! I do hope that you think it is as wonderful as I do!! I should be showing you the sofa with sweet girlys dressed in Gretta LaRue sitting pretty on it. But, I always get ahead of myself and have little self control. Just like the gift closet, I collect gifts for my children for different occasions and almost always give it to them early. I just can't handle the anticipation of gift giving. It is stressful knowing that you have something great and you have to wait. Oh, my 6 year old would love that sentence. He gets so tickled when we start rhyming. I can really get on a roll with it...maybe I should do a rhyming post for you sometime.. ok ..I have REALLY gotten sidetracked.

Packing orders and shipping them off ...so, you can start getting excited about the package coming straight at ya!!!. I love it when I get a package. It's like Christmas morn and it doesn't even matter what's inside... It's just FUN!!! Also, be looking for some new pieces that will be listed soon...Good Day!

Hecticity

Ok, this is tooo funny..I just Googled hecticity and, in fact, it is a word. This is the sentence that they used the word in. The only person who can understand a mother's hecticity is another mother.
Funny but soooo true!!! To all you moms out there, I do understand your hecticity! Have a good night!!!

Hallows Eve

I am sure you are all ready to be scared out of your skin tomorrow. I know all the little kiddos are in bed and can't sleep with the anticipation of what tomorrow brings. I can remember as a child how exciting Halloween was. Now, I get excited seeing my children getting excited. This has proved to be the beginning week of hecticity. I think I made that one up.... I like it though! That is a great new name for the last quarter of the year...Hecticity! Parties, pumpkins, pictures, hayrides, trick or treating at school. Lawson, my 9 month old, met up with his buddies at the pumpkin patch this week and had a photo shoot. Yes, he is already a little socialite. They are all so cute together. They have a weekly playdate on Thursday and go to Mommy & Me in our neighborhood on Monday morn. They aren't even a year old and already need an iPhone to calendar their events. Crazy, I know... but FUN!!

We have a Halloween birthday party to go to tomorrow, annual kids HW party down the street and then trick or treating. One year ago, my friend Chrissy had a Halloween baby. She is the sweetest little baby girl. She is going to have some KILLER birthday parties to tell about one day! Happy 1st Birthday Baby Lilly, and to all of you, have a FUN & SAFE but SCARY HAALLOOWEEENN!!
