I have really had a hard time finding stuff that i just LOVE for bebe to wear. We love Kelly's Kids and Just Ducky and of course Beaux et Belles smocked stuff but i havent found a company that carries the "classic children's clothing" that truly matches my style.[sidenote: i really am still evolving my style and its something that truly began to take shape while i was in college, even though i love something funky, my design philosophy would probably have to be, if i look back at my self from 10, 20 yrs ago, i want the look to be timeless, beautiful fabrics, chic lines, something reminiscent of the simpler days; mainly solids, anything lilly, or lilly-esque.]Then about 2 weeks ago my mom called in a panic. this is kind of how it went...
{ruffle collars make me weak at the knees, mom found 2 of these for like 5 bucks a piece... Thank you sweet Annie Hunter for sharing your love of bows and ruffles with me (my sewing class buddy from college, LOVE HER)}mom:"hey jenn, can you leave work??"
me:"no mom we are swamped, i told you i was training for this new position, what's up everything okay??"
mom:"well i am in line, here, at the location for race for the cure, its bad, women look vicious, i need your hands to grab all you can!"
me:"mom, what are you talking about??"
mom:"oh, yeah there's a children's company i've never heard of doing this warehouse sale, rock bottom prices, smocked, beautiful things, it could get ugly."
me:"bahhhh mom your insane, what company, where did you find out about it??
mom:"in the paper, its called little english, ADOREABLE!!"
me:"okay mom, i trust your judgement, pick out some cute stuff, and i will pay you back."
mom:"gotta go, gotta go, someone tried to cut me in line, eeekkkk. call you in a few."
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to meet my mom she is one of the craziest, funniest people you will ever meet. She is overly dramatic {i don't know anyone else like that;)} so concerned about everything involved with the baby and somewhat of a hover mom. No offense but this woman wants to know everything everyone of her kids is doing at all times. Think Nora Walker from Brother's and Sister's. Always from the heart kinda love but good lawd, she can put on a show. haha
So needless to say i am now deeply, madly, in love with anna caroline's spring wardrobe, thanks mom for your continuous efforts to make sure your granddaughter has the best wardrobe, {not to mention at a great price}Anyone know if other companies have warehouse sales?? I would love to find some just ducky stuff at these cheap prices, Maribeth, hook a girl up!! haha

the little english warehouse sale comes twice a year-every spring and fall. sorry you were uninformed! as for cheap prices on trunk show companies, i am a total fan of select consignment sales, but some of them also run great sales toward the end of the season on their websites. sometimes they will email you, but sometimes you have to have purchased from them in a recent season to be included on the email. but, like you, i also like to sew! and, that is the cheapest way to get cute clothes! darn if i didn't have so many kids, then i would probably sew most of everything they wear!
bahhhh i only have one and dont have time to sew everything she wears... i LOVE anna carolines little jacket we got her, i didnt get anything this spring because 1. it still fits and i was attempting to 2. make all her summer clothes... not going so well. but i did get an email from just ducky about 10 dolla shirts... swizzle sweet...
