Spring Is In The Air!!

Speaking of 'perfect spring days'........Just this past Saturday, Mother Nature was giving us a taste of what's in store for spring weather this year. The birds were singing, frogs were croaking, lawn movers were cutting and it was warm! Really warm!! During the warmer months, our family typically spends as much time outside as possible. This means, playing, eating, resting, working....(okay I admit it, I can sometimes be caught in the back yard with my laptop)......We pretty much do everything but sleep outside!

Our daughter Ava's favorite new outside activity is bouncing in the trampoline. She is just 19 months so this is quite the funny scene. Her play time consists of lots of running around in circles, the odd bounce with goofy imp smile, than over to mom for a 'spark' kiss. This is the whole joke for Ava as all the running creates quite a lot of static and of course when she gives me a kiss it comes with a gentle spark. This makes her laugh with delight and of course I am in stitches as well at her adorable baby joy. Saturday was so beautiful outside, it seemed the perfect opportunity to grab some quick shots of Ava in some of our new spring styles while enjoying her favorite new game.

I have to say, our tunics are one of my favorite styles because of their flexibility in being worn as either a dress or tunic and our new Cherries print is certainly one of my favorite new spring prints. I love love love our new Cherries print!! The inspiration behind this print was a little woven dress I wore as an infant with bright red strawberries all over it. (See below :)

 I must have worn that little strawberry dress most of the summer as it appears in quite a few pictures! I think little Ava will likely be photographed in her Cherry Tunic quite a bit too! Our Cherry Tunic and matching Capri pants will be in stores and on our website next week as will the rest of our spring 11 line. Looking forward to sharing all of our new styles with you in the coming weeks!
