Hats, Hats, Hats

Okay, I should have posted this picture when I first took it, but didn't get to it. Well, it was Saturday morning and this Mom and Dad came in with 4 adorable daughters, who of course loved everything in the store, but really fell in love with these hats. The all had to try on all the styles, with the youngest insisting on a "pancake hat" (beret). They were all so adorable, I just had to take a picture and include it here. Oh yes, you can click on the picture to see it full size.

Yay! New Clothes!

Hey everybody, we're coming out of the Long Winter.

Just as the weather is warming up, finally, we're pulling out of our Winter of no-new-clothes at Whimsy too.

We got THREE! clothes orders in this week, so now we have cute, colorful cotton sweaters from Willow, too-cool and well-priced tops from Mystree, and flirty printed skirts from MOE (and of course, since it's at Whimsy, none of it is "coordinates"--you've got to use those solid color tops you already own or your jeans to finish out an outfit).

Hang in there everybody. We've been hearing doom and gloom for months and months and you know what? We're all still here. Somehow the world hasn't ended. We're all a little nervous, but it's OK, isn't it?
I'll let you in on some personal stuff. My husband is still out of work. Again. Daniel (my son, who's 22) is hobbling around with a cane, valiantly working to recover after his very major surgery. We're all dealing with our own stuff, and it's just wrong that we have to. But it is what it is, and we're still here, aren't we? So glad that we can just wake up every day, that our world still contains color and life and great people.

Enjoy yourself. You can still create those moments of meaning and pleasure in your life. We're so lucky, aren't we?
