Our next show!

    
     We love doing our craft shows! In fact we love it so much that we have decided to do a trunk show of our very own. A local bank has a community room that we have rented and are inviting everyone to come and browse our current inventory. We are so glad that we will be there with our good friend Christy from "Purple Teasures" and my mother will be selling her wonderful handmade soap there as well. We are hoping it will be a great success and we will meet a lot of new faces and see some familiar ones as well.
     So the preparations have started already! We are stocking up on a lot of our most popular dresses, shirts and more. We have a lot of work to do and are managing it quite well considering that we each have a 2 year old running rampant through our home. Merritt is catching on quickly when it comes to putting a bobbin in an embroidery machine! So maybe in about oh..... 10 years I will assign her permanent duties as a appliqué cutter. Although when she gets that old I will have to pay her with money instead of suckers. Wyatt is catching on nicely as well! As I was talking to Casey earlier he was turning on the sewing machine. Hmmmm... maybe he can learn to cut out ruffle pants.

It's a New Year!

     We had a great Christmas! It was the first one that Casey and I can remember that it actually snowed on Christmas Day! WOW, our first "White Christmas!" Merritt was excited that morning when she woke up.
With all of the Holiday madness we still had the time to sit and take our "Dream A Little Dream" family photo. So, here we are all together in front of our Christmas tree. And yes, we were pleasantly surprised that Merritt and Wyatt actually sit still long enough to get that shot!
     Now this was not an easy task! Picture this.... Casey and I are froze in time with a constant smile on our face. My mother, who is taking the picture, is trying to bribe Merritt with food and my Aunt Dianne is in the background holding up Sweetie (a Boston Terrier), so she can play peek-a-boo with Wyatt. Welcome to our world! Only here can the children be bribed with food and game playing dogs! After about 15 shots we finally have all of us making our “picture face.” Stay tuned for many more.


We hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours!

And don't forget to follow us on Facebook for great GIVEAWAYS and constant new product photos!

Busy, Busy, getting ready for our next show!!

Hi Friends!  I thought that I would take a few minutes to let you know what we are up to this week.  It is CRUNCH time here at Dream A Little Dream.  We are busy getting ready for our next show on November 19th and 20th.  We work very hard in the weeks approaching a show.  We like to have lots of inventory ready for our customers to shop.  Here are a few pictures of past shows that we have done.

Some of our sweet little peasant dresses

A few of our baby items.  Custom onesies with matching bibs,
burpcloths and wipe cases.


Initial Burpcloths


We are so proud of our custom logo!  It was originally designed by Carla and then perfected by an Etsy friend.  Here it is on the banner that was custom made for us.


One of our tables...covered in bibs, burpcloths, onesies and accessories.  This show was in October and we had a Fall themed booth.
