In honor of the Memorial Day holiday and our nation’s troops, present and past, many kids are sporting the red, white and blue this weekend. And I know that many more will break out their patriotic clothes for Fourth of July weekend as well. There’s more to choose from than the flag t-shirt at Old [...]

My husband has always been a bit of a shopper. Until Harold’s closed last year, one of his favorite spots to shop was the clearance rack there. Always had a few XL gems for a good price.
And then he went through a little Nordstrom shirt-shopping phase too. A Von Maur opened near us, good shirts [...]

It is time. The Halloween catalogs have started arriving at my house. My kids are changing their minds about “what they will be” for Halloween on a daily basis. And, unfortunately, every costume idea so far seems to be mass-produced crap. Can’t we find something better?

Lindy over at the appropriately-named Etsy shop “Crafted by Lindy” was kind enough to become a Facebook fan of Sassy and George the other day. So, I wandered over to her shop to poke around a little.

Okay, I know it’s still July. And it’s, oh, just a little bit hot outside. A bit sticky here in the Midwest at least. But I came across these darling wool coats and capes for Fall/Winter 2009 today. They’re by Patouche out of Canada.
Patouche’s fall line was inspired by Little-Red-Riding-Hood’s wander through the woods and [...]

Sophisticated but fun fabrics. Attention to detail like I’ve never seen. Meticulous contrasting linings, reverses and edging. Beautiful construction. All of these describe Hoot Baby’s lovely designs for little girls.
Dresses, tunics, skirts, bloomers – all of Hoot Baby’s pieces look delicious enough for a special occasion. And yet, they’re fun and not fancy, frilly or [...]
