To celebrate the launch of my new collection I thought that I would do a little giveaway. Nothing too complicated, no crazy test or hoops to jump through. All you have to do is visit my website or Etsy shop, come back here to my blog and tell me what your favorite piece in the Story Club collection is, and you will be entered to win that piece. That's it. Easy peasy.
You have until Saturday, July 11th to enter. The winner will be announced on Monday, July 13th. Good luck!
I am up late tonight and thought that I would do my morning post before I head off to bed. It is now 12:20am and officially my birthday. Happy birthday to me! I am soo looking forward to sleeping in and having a day just for me. It is an exciting day for me because not only is it my birthday but it is also the launch of my new collection. I have been on the computer for way too long tonight loading pictures and descriptions so that I could stay off of the computer and hang with my family on my b-day so I am going to make this a short one. If you're interested in any of the items from the Story Club Collection please visit my website or Etsy shop. I would so love to send you off a little package with some clothes for your little one and a little something special too. Visit my blog Wednesday too for a chance to win a piece from the new collection. It will be fun!
Okay, I'm off to bed. Have a good night all:)
I am so excited to share my new collection with everyone. It is simple but beautiful and really lets the little girls wearing it shine. This was my first time photographing my clothing and it was such an absolute thrill. The girls and their mothers were an absolute treat to work with and completely reinforced for me why it is that I do this. Thank you so much girls!
This collection was inspired my favorite childhood heroine, Anne Shirley, and the story club that she started with her friend Diana. I imagined little girls meeting under a canopy of trees to laugh and dream and share their tales. This is what I thought that they might wear:)
I am so excited to introduce this collection but completely terrified too. I can't wait to hear what you think!
The Story Club collection will be available on my website and Etsy shop on Monday July 6th.
I thought that I would peek my head in and say hello this Monday afternoon. I don't have much to report today just working, working to get things ready to introduce my new collection. I have changed up a few things on my website and Etsy shop and am just working to get everything together. I will be doing a giveaway here on my blog as well as a few other fun things to promote Little Lotti and this new range. It is all so much work but incredibly exciting too. Join me on Wednesday when I introduce the Story Club Collection. I can't wait to hear what you all think!
Anne: Don't you ever imagine things differently from what they are?
Marilla: No.
Anne: Oh Marilla, how much you miss.

I have been working my tail off getting my next collection ready, taking care of the kids, extra, extra so I thought that today would be a nice day to stay at home and rest a bit. Today is a day for reading, enjoying my kids, and just being. There is still work to be done but today it will go at a slower easier pace. With breaks to look at captured frogs, lick popsicles and dream. Enjoy your Friday and all of your blessings and take a moment or two to dream.
A little piece of my childhood died today so we interupt our usually scheduled play list to celebrate all that is M.J.
Enjoy.
Just a small peek at what I have been working on this week;)
This week on I Heart Faces is all about the boys. I just love this, having two boys myself and knowing how sometimes girls and all of their frills can take center stage, it feels good to see a bunch of pictures focusing on our adorable little men. I know that I have posted this one before and it is not by any means technically perfect but it is just the perfect capture of my youngest son. It's so him! Chapped lips, mischievous grin and a look in his eyes that is all trouble.
I am a list maker. I make lists for everything. To-do lists, need-to-get lists, books-to-read lists, I could go on and on. I'm not saying that it actually helps me get anything done but it does make me feel more productive when I have a list. Here is my Monday morning list,
*write product descriptions for The Story Club collection. (get my creative juices flowing)
*pull basting stitches. (not really very fun but I can throw in a season of The Tudors or something and watch and pull during nap/rest time)
*write up bio and about page for new site launching this summer Trifle. (really excited about this. there are some really great companies participating)
*finalize details for shoot this week. (umm..I am so excited about this but totally terrified as well. this will be my 1st time doing the photos myself. let's hope that they come out well so that i don't have to find someone else to re-do them)
*take the kids to the library to collect their 1st of many, summer reading prizes and then Blockbuster for aforementioned Tudors dvd
*laundry (sigh)
*clean bathroom (yuck)
*call Consumers to come out and look at the air conditioning...immediately (I am seriously melting in this heat with no air to help me out. what time do they open?!)
*blog (check!)
*take my camera out for a spin and then clean it, clear pictures and charge the battery for this week's photo shoot
I'm sure I will stumble upon more that needs to be done but tomorrow is another day. What's on your to-do list today?
I didn't get a chance last week to share my news so I thought that I would start of the week with it. A few weeks ago I entered a contest on I Heart Faces for a chance to win a spot in a Blurb photo book. On a whim I decided to take a chance, not really thinking that I would win anything, and entered and then promptly forgot about it. after my last post I decided to check my stats and see how my blog was faring after being so thoroughly neglected and was surprised to see not only a ton of visitors but all being referred from the same sight. I headed over to I Heart Faces and saw that they had revealed the winners of the Blurb contest and much to my surprise I am one of the winners in the amateur contest! My photo will be in the book! I can't wait until it is published and I can get a copy. What a complete thrill! I couldn't decide on a photo to enter so I chose one that is a favorite of Nick's. I'm afraid he will never let me forget that;) You've seen this pic before but here it is so that you know which one is going to be published.
She's such a cutie!
I have been finishing up my next collection, The Story Club, and hope to get pictures done next week, so sneak peeks and more news on the business front are to come.
Happy Monday:)
