Austin Fashion Week comes to a close!

I have so much to share from the week and several fun photos I'll post throughout the week. I had a fantastic time working with Jennifer from Izzy & Ash. Her store is full of amazing clothing for kids and I know I'll be looking forward to seeing her Fall stuff slowly start to roll in. Go check her out! My girls already twisted my arm, we came home with these and they think they are way cool. I don't disagree, just think they needed to make a tee in my size! My girls have no memories of the Rolling Stones but I had to smile when they pulled them off the rack begging to bring them home. They know me well, they were on sale and I have a hard time turning a deal down!

We had such a fun time with the Fashion Show and all the girls were fantastic. Scott was on hand from Scott Stater Photography to do his magic. I'm posting my favorite photo of the night. We'll have a cool slideshow of the event to share soon. Here's Bella modeling the Fall '09 Olivia Cowgirl skirt. This was her first time and this pint sized girl is just stoic. You can click on the photo to enlarge. I'd say her daddy had better be ready since we all know they grow up so fast. This girl is a knockout!

The Elizabeth Collection......a little Shabby a little Chic

Just when I think I'm done with Summer customs, I do just a few more! I've had so many fabrics come in over the months that I just don't have the means to create something with all of them so I did something a little different. I'm no quilter but this might be the closest I come to it. This was inspired by my dear friend's daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth is this little ray of sunshine and all kinds of personality in her tiny little body. She has boundless energy, she is all colors of the rainbow and a giggle that is contagious. You can't take just one word to describe her personality. This little toe-headed toddler needs many! When I told her mom I was making something new that was inspired by Elizabeth, she laughed and said, "Well, if it's plain you've pegged her wrong" Nope, nothing plain about Elizabeth and it's available to purchase on Etsy right now. The tank and coordinating skirt are available for purchase seperately and is available in Spring or Summer colorway.

Happy Summer!
