Summertime Living

It's not officially summer but it might as well be...it's hit the 100 degree mark here already! This is the kind of thing the girlies wear around here: simple, sweet, "little girlish" and COOL. I hand-embroidered a sweet lettuce-edge tee with one of my own motifs...bullion roses in two tones of pink on a "vine" of backstitches and lazy-daisy leaves. The skirt is as simple and easy to wear as it looks. I used one of my favorite Pandolph prints that you don't see much of anymore and made an easy, simple skirt out of less than one yard of fabric. The waist is elastic since the girls enjoy the "comfiness" of that. I've added a custom set just like this one to my etsy store ! More styles to come, as well!

And I'd love it if you visited the Sweet Rachael of The Rose Room for her 100th Post Party! She has some scrumptious giveaways, as well!

Here's my answers to her "10 Party Questions":

How Did You Get Into Blogging: My friend, Lauren, was blogging and I hopped around from her blog to others' until I accidentally stumbled upon this "circle" of bloggers with similar tastes/interests/styles. Not quite a year ago, I jumped in myself, unsure if anyone would ever come and read my blog! I'm now officially addicted!

Oh and enjoy your 3-day weekend!
