dabbling in maternity wear

the stamp is located at the bottom of the maternity top, in a corner.
To mix it up a bit, I stamped a partial tree scene on the shoulder.
Here's the up-close. I love how the ink is varied.
Isn't my maternity model adorable???? I wish I could see her beautiful face too!

i'm having fun working with a few maternity orders. here's one of the most recent.

The pile is ready to go...
My line hanging on display in back, in Korazon Organic Boutique!
So proud!
My local line on display in B on Main.

all i can think about is the many showers of blessing that God has poured over my humble little business!

hopefully my little collection of pictures will do my description justice....

to give you an idea, i spoke with one of the shop owners Friday, and had an entirely new order completed (at 1:30 a.m. that morning) and delivered to the shop by 11 a.m. that day (i also added a few new designs, worth the risk! Her fave was the "i [surf] ca"! My stuff is now past the trial stage, and I am in full bloom to make orders and keep stock filled at B on Main! Praise God that He brought business!

It's official!!!

These are the clothing tags I made.


My onesie lines have been officially accepted by two amazing boutiques! They are both on Main Street in downtown Ventura, and different lines are offered at the two shops...

I have had an absolutely pleasurable experience establishing a rapport with both shop owners, and they have helped me to see the ins and outs of bringing my product to the public!

I am so thankful God has paved the way, and please to pray that He will give me the creativity and the means to continue!

Check out the sites or even meander on over to their shops and browse!

Local line


Surfer Girl with a sand dollar

stoked.

surf sand sun
no kooks (this was upon the store owner's request) and it's very cute. "no kooks" means no dummies in the water.

longboards only


GNARLY (PRONOUNCED GNAAAAARLY...)

DUDE (because you know that is my every other word)


805 SURF


two trees (local)

Well, I stepped out. I hit three boutiques that I had been meaning to show my lines to. I met with the most promising one first, and was so encouraged by the feedback! I am not going to share the names of the boutiques until my stuff is finally in them, but I do have to say that I walked away so encouraged! It was difficult stepping out and trying to market myself, but I prayed as I walked in the stores that God would bless my pursuit and that He would make my path clear. The feedback I received was perfect. When the owner of the first boutique reviewed my lines, she basically asked me to create more surf line and that she would exclusively sell my surf line through her shop. (Her shop is my favorite on Main Street.) I was ecstatic! I left, feeling encouraged, and sat down last night and pounded out a bunch of onesies just for her shop! I am almost done with it, and I will bring it in and finalize the plan with her in the next few days! Be looking for some news!
