Feeling the "Love"

A sweet customer of mine, the lovely Lovelyn, totally made my day with her wonderful pictures of her 3 girls in their MODKIDs and her description of her shopping experience. It was one of those blog postings that made my mouth smile bigger and bigger with every word I read, so I just had to come here and share with you guys!!!

How sweet is this picture of her two oldest running through a field of wildflowers? She totally captured that childhood innocence that we all crave... not a worry in the world, not posed or contrived, just 2 girls running, being silly and having the time of their life! :)


And here is this super sweet picture of her youngest in her Blüm Collection... eeeek! I just want to squeeze those cheeks!


Click here to check out Lovelyn's awesome blog. It's always such a fun spot to rest upon in the sea of blogs I read because it captures real life in such a casual, unfettered way. Thanks so much, Love! You totally made my day!!!

More Customer Cuties!!!

Ask and you shall receive, right? In my last post, I asked you all to send me some photos of your cuties wearing their MODKID, and today I was spoiled by a couple of super sweet ladies. First, a wonderful repeat customer of mine, Christy, sent me an email that actually made me blush. Oh my goodness, I am still smiling from ear to ear. And these amazing pictures were attached to it...




Thanks, so much, Christy! You totally made my day with your sweet Abigail!

And as if that wasn't enough to make me wanna jump back on my machine and create, create, create, a few hours later Angie of Simply*Sophia surprised me with these breathtaking photos of her little one, Sophie, wearing my Berry Parfait set!


Another blushing moment came when I read her email... what a sweet compliment, especially coming from such a talented designer as herself. If you haven't checked out her blog, click here.

Thanks, Angie!!!

Anyone else? I am on a roll!!! LOL!

Oh, and if you've made it this far and are still reading.... I just realized that my 100th BLOG POST is fast approaching -- boy, I've been a chatty one in the past 8 months! So, stay tuned because I will be giving away some awesome prizes to my blog readers. :)

Customer Cutie!

It had been a while since I received a picture of a customer cutie wearing one of my original designs. So you can imagine how I squealed with joy when I opened my email this morning to find these amazing pictures from my sweet customer, Stacey. Isn't her little one, Hannah, such a cutie? Hanna is wearing Petit Champignons, a design I created for the Joel Dewberry Indelible launch on eBay. Luckily, Stacey gave me permission to share with you guys.



This is by far the most rewarding part of what I do! :)

If any of you out there have pictures of your little ones wearing MODKID creations, I would love to feature them here on my blog and on my website. Just forward some pictures to my email address at info@modkidboutique.com

Sweet Abigail

One of my favorite customers just spoiled me rotten this weekend. First she sends me pictures of her sweet daughter, Abigail, in her new "Bistro" set. I was so excited!! But then when I asked permission to feature her here on my blog, she sends me more pictures in some of the other MODKID originals she owns. I had forgotten about some of these because a couple of the separates were custom designed for Abigail, meaning that after the auction ended we worked together to make extra mix & match pieces for the sets she had won, so it was such a treat seeing these on a little girl, since they had never been modeled before! Christy, thank you SO MUCH for making my day! I will share these with the world so they can see what a happy, sweet little girl Abigail is!!



What a great way to leave this blog before going on vacation! I may have mentioned this before, but in case I haven't, my family and I are leaving for a 7-day vacation to Florida this Tuesday, July 3rd. My parents live down there, in Cocoa, so we will be staying with them. Sophie & Sydney will be hanging out with grandma & grandpa while Jon & I take a 4-day/3-night cruise to the Bahamas... WOOHOO!!! This will be a special cruise for us not only because it is the first time in a long, long time that we go anywhere together without kids, but also, the only 2 times I have gone on a cruise I was pregnant, so I was not able to enjoy myself as much as I wanted to. Let's just say that virgin CocoLoco's are not as much fun as the real ones, LOL! And, last time we went I was dying to try the parasailing and the rock-climbing wall... but both of those activities would be way too dangerous for women in my state, so I stood on the sidelines while everyone else enjoyed themselves. I did do some of the more harmless activities, like snorkeling, but my adventurous mind was dying to try the daredevil stuff, LOL! Remember the post where I mentioned that I had gone skydiving & scuba diving? Yep, this is just another one of those things to put on my "Done That!" list! :) So this time I am going ALL OUT!!!! I have always wanted to try parasailing. It looks like so much fun!! I'm THERE!

So, I will say my goodbyes now just in case I don't get a chance to update my blog tomorrow before leaving. I have so much on my to-do list it's not even funny! I really wanted to have a studio sale and clear out all my old samples to make room for my new Fall 2007 collection, but I just don't know. Ebay has been so slow lately. Do you all think I should list all my samples from last year... all the Fall '06 stuff? I have sets in size 24M/2T and some in size 5T/6 that were only worn for modeling. I also have a couple of Spring sets that I could list. Let me know if any of your would be interested in some studio samples... at this point I am not looking to make a profit, just recover my materials cost and move them out so I can make room for all the new stuff...

OK, so maybe if I have time, I might list a few things tomorrow evening and let the auctions run for 7 days so they will end when my trip ends. :) If I do, I will post it here...

Customer Cuties

I received a couple of pictures from customers lately and I just had to share. Aren't these girls adorable? This is by far my most favorite part of my business...

Sweet Kendall

It's not often that a customer takes the time to photograph their child in your creations and email you the pictures. That is why I was pleasantly surprised when I got an email yesterday from a sweet customer of mine bearing pictures of her adorable daughter wearing Waterlily, an OOAK 3-piece set I sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago. I think she looks adorable in this set and what a pretty little girl! Not only did this customer of mine give me permission to post pictures on my blog, but she actually wrote "I am an avid reader of your blog, it's one of the few I check in on every day!". WOW! I am speechless! Being fairly new at the blogging thing it just amazes me how many people you can meet and how much joy you can spread just with a little blog entry!

So, without much further ado, I leave you with a few pictures of sweet Kendall in Waterlily. Dana, if you are reading this, THANK YOU! You made my day (but I already told you that!) ;)
