Introducing Amy Butler...and a little monogram Monday!

Last Friday we got the BEST box from the cute guy in the brown suit....a box full of goodies by the uber talented Amy Butler! 

 If you sew or are just a fabric junkie like I am, you are probably familiar with Amy and her gorgeous fabrics.  Here are some of my favorites:

Amy's story is a simple one.  She grew up in the midwest where got her love of design from her mother and grandmother.  She went to art school, fell in love, married and moved back to the midwest and started a business.  She has been wildly successful and she and her husband advocate living simply and giving back as part of their business philosophy...we love that!

Here are a few of the fantastic pieces we have in stock:

Doesn't this make you want to pack a bag??

This Sara tote would make a great Mother's day gift!

Love the wallet!

We have lots more and our stock will rotate as pieces are sold.  This gorgeus line makes a great graduation gift (the traveler and cosmetic bags) that is very special.  It would also be lovely as bridesmaids gifts or a special birthday gift.  Special orders are welcome, too, if you see a piece that we don't have in stock.

On another note, I have to share a quick monogram Monday goodie.  Isn't this just the cutest???

Hope to see you in the store soon!

XO,

Monogram Monday...so much customer cuteness

So it's Monday...Monogram Monday!  Today I am going to share some of my favorite customer cuteness of the week.  We would love for you to share yours too!  This week or any week, share your monogram cuteness on Monogram Monday and be sure to tag us on facebook or instagram.  Each week we will give away a gift certificate to one lucky winner!

So on to the cuteness....we monogram your items or ours and this week's cuteness is a combination of both.  We love taking your fun ideas and bringing them to life!  Here is my first favorite:

I am pretty sure Park will be voted "best dressed" at preschool!

Next up...stylin at the beach.  

There are just no words for the amount of cute this bathing suit is!
We love a pretty beach towel, too.....

Our Caroline 3 letter applique really dresses up a white beach towel.  This one was the perfect birthday gift for a special 13 year old!

On a more serious note, we had some great custom stuff going for an anniversary surprise and some school spirit items....I really liked how both of these turned out.  The feather was actually digitized from some original art.

And to wrap it up...somebody is going to be a big sister!  Isn't this a cute way to announce a new arrival?  Pinterest project come to life! (which reminds me, don't forget to follow us on pinterest.  We pin some cool stuff!)

Don't forget, post and tag us to win!

This Week We're Loving....

Huge Monograms on walls, doors, gates and more!  And not vinyl, we've done the adhesive vinyl.  And while we love the clean look it gives, There is just something about the depth and texture a wooden monogram can add to a room....

 

And there are so many options!  You don't even have to go with just a monogram....

Customer Cuteness

Fall is quickly approaching and Friday is the official last day of Summer.   This dress is such an adorable way to usher in the month of October. We're in love with this pumpkin applique' a customer had done for her little pumpkin! 

What is your favorite Fall trend for kids??

Customer Cuteness

Not exactly "Customer", but still cute!  This was my daughter's creation.  She picked the font, colors, and placement.

She needed a new sleeping bag for the seemingly infinite number of sleepovers she's been going to lately.

I don't know if you've shopped for tween sleeping bags lately, but yikes!  I could buy a new mattress for the price I'd pay for one of those things!  But, she needed a new one, and Strawberry Shortcake just wasn't going to cut it anymore.

So, here was my inexpensive solution:

Target, $16.99 + a cute monogram!  Next I'm going to hunt for a bright yellow pillowcase.  What do you think?

Customer Cuteness

Here in our town that boasts 2 major universities and a few smaller colleges, the students are beginning to return and we always enjoy seeing the cute ideas they have for personalizing their dorm spaces.  This customer brought in some stacking storage cubicles just begging for a monogram!

Customer cuteness...beach version

Everyone loves a great beach bag.  We especially liked how this customer chose to place the monogram in the center of the crab, chic and clever!  We are sure she is rockin this on the beach this holiday week!
