Finally it is cooling down here in the South! :) This makes me very happy… most of all, no more major hurricane threats, we’re on the downward spiral of the season. I have listed quite a few darling Halloween designs this year, but as usual… I’m later in listing. I will be listing a Darling Thanksgiving set today after my model comes over for photos! We are also doing some General Sports Twirl Dresses, she is a darling little sweetie, it’s always a fun time seeing these sets come to life!
I will post a few photos here, I’m trying my best to stay up to date with you here. Feel free to contact me anytime on any ideas you have! I LOVE to hear from my customers, most especially when they pass me on to their friends.
Thanks for all of your support & business!
Fall Blessings~

I promised I would post a photo of my new Capri/Pants Style!!! So here is my very first model debut for this style! The Wide Ruffle is very much in I can easily add an additional ribbon, rick rack or bias above the ruffle as well! The Tops are optional & you can easily add initial applique or monogramming to coordinate the bottoms & have great use for Mix & Matching… More photos to come in the next week or so. I’m working on some darling Thanksgiving Sets with Turkey’s on the top! Very CUTE!!! Keep checking back & contact me anytime with your custom idea or special needs!

Here in Mississippi, it is hardly feeling like Fall, although there is some cool breezes & the humidity has pretty much subsided which is a very good thing! Ross is working this weekend, so I am too! I’m working on some ideas to help shoppers save money on darling boutique sets for siblings… I will be posting photos ASAP of these sweet new Ruffled Capri or Pants Styles with the matching headband. I can do matching tops or mom’s can simply purchase the tops to match the pants to help save & be able to wear with other sets, too!

WEBSITE UPDATE: Roxy has been amazing in getting my website back up in a super timely manner! THANKS A MILLION, Roxy… after all you’re dealing with… no doubt you are just spent! After the downtime with the changes the service provider had made when we went to upload everything again I felt bad that this happened at such a time while she is trying to study & has her own family. What a headache for her, poor thing! She has done an incredible job in learning & building my website for me. She is absolutely the best artisitc gal & has created a site that I thought would be impossible to accomplish!~ I’m SO GRATEFUL for all of the help & her patience in trying to teach & work with me along the way & across the states, all the way from California! She has been incredible!!! There are still some minor issues & kinks, we’re working on & I appreciate your e-mails & help to make this site run smoothly for buyers. Please let me know if you have any ideas for better set or navigation, etc. I am always happy to help any customer over the phone as well.

Thanks again for checking up here with my Blog… I’m trying to keep it updated as things unfold & news happens here.

Sunday Blessings!

Firstly, I’ve been having some website troubles… PLEASE, please bear with me here as my web designer works on this for me, for us! I’m sorry as it’s confusing to upload the updates & then have everything new & in different formats, etc… We hope to have this accomplished by weekend’s end.

Today was a BIG day here in our lives! We are very happy to have Ross home safe & sound. He was in Guam doing research with the Navy on Typhoons & his crew also went to Japan as they flew into a Super Typhoon. It was the first time it’s been done in 30 years. He said it was a bit nerve wrecking going through the eye wall! No doubt! I’m glad I only know about this now, although he did tell me he was going to be flying into a Typhoon, they are pretty much like Hurricanes, except a SUPER Typhoon is beyond a Cat 5!!! I’ll have to share the link to the video once he locates it! This photo is what I’ve been working on… with my down time here while Ross was away, I’ve been doing a home improvement on our backyard as I hope to start doing more outdoor portraits with my designs. I’ve sold my photography lighting in hopes to someday get better lighting for indoor. This is part of my husband’s coming home surprise & for his 36th B-day which is on the 9th of October~ I’m pretty pleased, but BOY is it a lot of money, time & effort… It was WELL worth it though. LOVE the Hammock & Pathway, just peaceful!

So, we are trying to settle back into a routine & hoping there will not be much more traveling for the rest of this hurricane season~ It’s been a VERY Busy Season! Quite nerve wrecking for me here, too! Most especially with the economy & looking for something part time to help suppliment & pay off my business debts, so scary with the financial crisis in our country! I’m going everything I can to keep this business going & learning to document & do everything correctly. I’ll try to check back in here & post next week as things calm down a bit.

Thanks for your sincere cares & prayers with support of my success & dreams!

Blessings, Bonnie

READY for FALL here in MS!!!

September 24, 2008

It’s TIME for FALL & I’m very excited for the weather to be transitioning here. It’s still humid & HOT during the day, but mornings & evenings are quite cool. I MISS HOME in the North, SO Much! Would love to move back into our house in Phila, PA one day… Although it’s a row house in the city & would be quite small to try to manage with my business… :)

Ross left for Guam 2 weeks ago & we have another 2 weeks to go. He actually flew into a Typhoon over Japan & spent quite a few days there b/c their plane broke. They brake a lot as they have really been used heavily in the hurricane’s this year. They are very careful not to fly when this happens. He is so far away & cannot call home, we skyped for the first time last night. His flight days are approx. 11-12 hours at a time. They are doing a Navy mission on Typhoons with the scientists & even had a visit from National Geographic! So, he does not get enough sleep it sounds, but it’s really a great experience.

Business is very much slowing b/c of the economy. I am going to look for a P/T job over on the AF Base this morning. It’s been a while since I’ve updated here & wanted to take a moment to write in & keep in touch. I’m advertising in my first Family & Children’s Gulf Coast Magazine, I hope it will be worth it. I signed up for an entire year!

Thanks for continuing to keep up with me; shop & share my site, PLEASE

Smiles & Miles of HUGS!
