little boys......

Hurry in! These little tees leave us in a hurry!

Do you feel it??

Ok, so our cold weather is finally here! So, you may not be thinking of wearing things like this.....

or this.....

or even this......

But Spring Fever is hitting us here at the shop!

Spring fever is also starting to hit my home as I want to CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!

Christmas decor is going down tonight! Although I will miss this......

this.....

this....

and this...

Though I can honestly say, that I am ready to stop hearing ornaments randomly trickling down the tree limbs and hitting the floor several times a day as my dying Christmas tree's limbs start to head in the vertical direction and shed it's needles!

Something else shed a little today..... this morning I took a little time to give the girls an early spring trim......

Hitting the 2 year mark on growing my snail speed hair out......sigh....these cuts make me want to chop chop chop! What to do, what to do??

We will be closing at 2pm tomorrow, New Year's Eve so I can celebrate with my family and have a send off party for my oldest brother and his family of 10 as they head off to Kenya for 2 years!

Happy New Years Everyone! As you are blessed beyond measure, tested and tried beyond belief and loved more than life in the upcoming year, may we not forget that His Mercies are new every morning, and that we have much to be thankful for as we praise the God who saves, provides our every need and holds us in the palm of His hands. Thanks be to God!

Thank you for a beautiful 2010! Look forward to many years with you all!

We will re-open Monday, January 3rd at 9am. See you soon!

Look "who" arrived today.....

New Fall 2010!

Up to 4 toddler.

I'm singing in the.................

RAIN RAIN RAIN! I will not complain though, because we have needed it for sure! Wow! It's been a busy summer! And my blogging has been put on the back burner (not intentionally, just something ALWAYS seems to interrupt my conversation with you!)

The girls have spent the first part of our summer here with me. They love to ring you up at the register, wrap presents and clean up. But I have found them sneaking off to do this every now and then.......

I am still enjoying the days and feel very blessed that they enjoy coming to work with Mommy.

Later this month they will go to Camp. Last year we had our girls raise their money for camp and decided to stick with the tradition this year and have them do the same! Last year it was selling Ribs. $20 for a rack of ribs by Buffalo Rock (which were delish!) and we kept $10 per rack towards camp. This year I wanted the girls to have a more "hands on" type fundraiser, by actually "working" towards there way instead of just walking around selling tickets for ribs.

So, I gathered the 5th and 6th grade girls and boys (who wanted to participate) and we started our first "Cooking for Camp".

We sold Meals to families of 2-4 or 4-6 and used our kitchen at the church and had a blast!

It was a huge task preparing all those meal, but so worth it. The kids were AWESOME! I have never worked with such a helpful group of kids! They literally did everything and it turned out great!

This took a great deal of our summer time planning, but then it was off to swim lessons and a late start on some Spring Cleaning... at the shop that is.....

If you have been inside Bellamia you have noticed that we have VERY tall ceilings. Well, our stock room has shelves that go ALL the way up! I was doing a little cleaning up there and noticed a box that was tucked in the corner that I had know idea was there. Inside of it were these.......

I could not believe it! This was from our move TWO YEARS AGO! This company went out of business so I have not been able to order new car seat covers. Sorry to mislead all of you that wanted a Pink dot and Green dot and thought I was out of them! If you see this post and want one, head on by or call us to purchase your car seat cover, they're wonderful!!

I assure you I have officially have gone through EVERYTHING in the Stock Room, so no more surprises from there!

We'll take some other surprises though, like the ones we received this week........

Our first couple of Fall shipments have arrived! Hurry in, I know it's like a 1,000,000,000 degrees outside, but these little boogers sell quickly, and we have almost sold all these Pirate tees!

Be back with a post about the 4th! Until then, be thinking about these little guys for your girly girl's hair in her Independence Day attire!!

Happy Summer!!

Matchy Matchy....
