Help!

Help wanted! So, one of the many things we are working on right now is our new blog design with Sarah of Sadie Olive. I need to send her our updated logo and let her know what colors I want to use. This has been a bit of a tough decision for me. For the past year we have been using chocolate brown and ivory as our main colors. I really love this look and the vintage, yet still fun feel these colors have. One of the problems we have run into, though, is that the browns print differently every time. It drives me insane! The "dear lillie" and little bird silhouette are supposed to be a tan color but several times now, we have received a new set of notecards or business cards and it has looked like a nasty mucus green color! Because of that, I have been wanting to mess around with the colors a bit before I send everything on over to Sarah. For this first one I just changed the color of "dear lillie" to a more grayish hue. I think this is probably what I will stick with, but after playing around a bit with a few other colorways I am having a hard time knowing for sure. I would love to know what you all think!

Option 1 Option 2 - I tried adding a bit of color and going with a very muted blue

Option 3 - Dark Grey with tan - I think this is my second favorite.

Option 4 - Lighter Grey with Black

Option 5 - This is my least favorite, I think.

What do you all think? Any opinions? I would love to hear!!!!!!!!!

And here are a few pictures from Fourth of July weekend.

My mom made Lillie this adorable little Fourth of July skirt! What is THAT face?
Of course, Lillie loves playing in the dirt Uncle Jason pulling Lillie around in her little doll wagon. Of course, Lillie didn't want to pull the teeny tiny wagon - she wanted to ride in it! Poor Jason and Josh - I don't know how their backs weren't killing after pulling her around for forever like this! She has had SOOOOO much fun playing with her new little wagon! I don't know if Uncle Josh has been having quite as much fun! =)

I hope you all are having a great week! And don't forget to check back as we will be hosting a nice and easy giveaway for our next post!

The Elizabeth Dress with Vintage Lace

Happy Fourth of July! I hope that you all are having a most wonderful holiday weekend! Ours has been so much fun, so far! We arrived safe and sound in New Hampshire on Friday afternoon. The weather has been beautiful. Quite hot for NH, but after the sweltering 105 degree VA temperatures it is not so bad! It is such a wonderful place to be able to bring Lillabel in the summer because she LOVES to be outside! For the first time ever, we have even had to lock a few doors at my parent's house, because when we aren't looking she has tried to head outdoors on her own - haha! She has been fascinated with watching my dad out on the tractor haying the fields!

We had a fun little photo shoot with Lillie earlier today. She wore the newest dress my mom made for her, the Elizabeth Dress with Vintage Lace. We are having lots of fun trying out some new ideas for Dear Lillie! We still aren't sure yet if we are going to sell some of these new ideas, but are having a wonderful time playing around with them.

Anyway, here are some pictures (sorry, there are tons of them):

She loved being down at the creek I think she's pretending to fish here!
And just to make you all feel better - I am not a completely reckless mother - my mom and sisters were right there to catch her, whenever she felt the urge to head into the water! Haha!

She's such a happy little girl!
Taking a little break to swing with her grandparents, Moosie and Papa Moose
Riding around in her vintage car
And off she goes!
We will be hosting another giveaway this week so be sure to check back! And we are going to make it MUCH easier to enter - all you have to do is comment! You don't have to be a follower, like us on on facebook, blog about the giveaway or anything! That's it - just comment - no jumping through hoops to enter!

I hope you all have a blessed Fourth of July today!

Becky and AJ's Engagement Photos and the Darling Stella Marie

I was so excited to receive an e-mail last night from one of our customers named Becky, who bought one of our Ava dresses this spring. She is such a sweet girl and was such a pleasure to work with. She wore the dress in her engagement photos. They are such lovely photographs of her, and her fiance AJ, that I asked if she would mind if I shared them on our blog and she was kind of enough to oblige. The photos were taken by Shem and Joy Horsley of Unique Touch Photography in Rochester, MN. They are all beautiful, but the first one is my favorite!


I also wanted to share with you some of these adorable pictures of Stella Marie (Jenn of Forty Toes Photography's daughter) wearing a custom rosette tank with a matching clip. There are several more of Stella Marie wearing these, but Blogger is hating me today and I am having trouble uploading pictures. I had another one of Becky and AJ that I couldn't get to upload either.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and Friday! We are headed out later this afternoon to begin our journey to NH. Once we are settled in I have lots more new items to share and we will be hosting another giveaway!
