Today...

We are remembering all those who have served and are serving our country. Thank you!

We now have a BIG BLUE LA-Z-BOY right smack dab in my living room. grrr.
Compliments of my parents giving it to Dad before he moved to Yakima.
I guess I never envisioned it in my own living room, but here it sits and what's even more miserable than the chair itself is the kiddos fighting over it. Seriously, like all day long.
Who woulda thought??

On a cheerful note... Dad moves home in 11 more days!!!
For real. Yay! That is why the la-z-boy is here now. He has moved some of his goods home. I am stuck as to how we {me, Tyke, Mini, Fancy & Baby} should celebrate his homecoming?
We will come up with something.

And I am happy to show a few more items that are in my store today...

Isn't this girl just darling!! I love seeing little girls in my clothing:)
Thank you Cathie for your amazing photography!

My new favorite...

I have had LOTS of this fabric for SO long knowing it had great potential!

...FINALLY... the light bulb went on!
I dropped what I was doing and whipped it out as quickly as I could!

The back is my favorite with the elastic shirring for a feminine look...

and the front has the perfect touch of vintage with the velvet robins egg blue ribbon across the top of the bodice...
... oh my, Fancy's wardrobe is getting quite large.

A Boys World...

The world was made for little boys
With infinite wonders and myriad joys
As he explores the source of brooks
Or recorded lore in interesting books.

As he trails fierce bears imaginary
Or listens quietly for the wild canary,
There are trees to climb - birds to hear,
Animals to greet with love - not fear.

He tramps the woods, fields and streams
Dreaming those wondrous boyhood dreams,
Of conquering worlds - as yet unknown
In that far off day when he is grown,
To manhood stature with noble goal
Imbued with nature's gentle soul.

In the cool of evening or midday sun
Knowing that all of life is one -
Knowing with all its strife and noise
The world was made for little boys.
