Smitten...

Okay, so this blog entry really has nothing much to do with me, but I still had to share my giddy excitement. I have been a fan of Olive Juice Kids clothing for several years now, but I've never been quite so in love with a line of clothing before, as I am with this season's fall line. Girls AND boys clothing that are demure, sassy, preppy, country, and a little bit French. The whole line has me dying to pick apples, rake leaves, make squash soup, and play jump rope. It invokes images of crisp, sunshiney days, pink noses, and rain drops. You simply MUST check it out! If you sew, like me, the fabrics and colors are so inspiring just to look at. I think though, that I may just have to spring for a few items for my kids...

Now, all of my family members know that I am madly in love with Oliver + S sewing patterns, because they really embody all of the qualities mentioned above, but for those friends of mine out there who haven't yet heard of them, or tried their hand at sewing, check em out! The patterns are timeless, easy, clear and concise. I think just the mindset of fall approaching, and the kids in school, learning and creating, has me positively itching to make something!

  2. So jealous! I was a 70's child, so I lived in tan sandals, yellow bell bottoms, and super high ponytails, lol! Nothing close to French-chic.

  3. I like the buttons on the shoulder for the boy. I also loved the picture of your daughter in the previous post. I always want my baby to be so happy go lucky, but, she is after all a little person. Those moments when we see that are so beautiful.
