New La Manita Dresses

 

This is going to be a busy week...I'm posting new dresses to La Manita's Etsy shop this week!

July, August and September...ummmm

Where did they go?? Wow...times flies when you're not blogging.

Casas

Another Etsy find...Where We Live is a super-lovely print by Amy Blackwell, an amazing illustrator and self-proclaimed doodler. LOVE. Be sure to check out her website for more loveliness.

4th of July - Hats and Dresses!!

I've been working on some 4th of July hats and dresses...there's something about this holiday that screams SUNDRESS! When I was little, my mom and I would tie-dye a smocked sundress to commemorate the 4th...so these are my new versions of 4th of July dresses...

Check out my Etsy shop - I'm offering FREE shipping on all 4th of July dresses and hats!

Elephants, Ladybugs, Birds and Apples...

Elephants, ladybugs, birds and apples. A nice mix.

All The Pretty Horses

I'm recently quite obsessed with horses...and I love this mixed-media collage by Dolan Geiman. I'm sure I could find a wall...

A Belt Buckle Worthy of a "Tucked-in" Shirt

I used to drive my mom insane when I'd say "I think I'm going to wear my shirt tucked-out." (Mind you, this was in middle school when I was very concerned with matching my socks and earrings along with thoroughly blow-drying my hair and curling it...I know, it was a looooong time ago.) Well, this is a belt buckle that warrants a "tucked-in" shirt, right mom?? Love it.

Love all of the items! But we can never find a hat big enough for my almost 2 year old that has ties on it. So we would pick the hat!

Studio Violet

Camilla Engman is one of my favorite artists and her collaboration - Studio Violet - with fellow Swedish artist Elisabeth Denker is AMAZING. Love their porcelain plates...and this poster...I got it back in December for Sylvie's room. LOVE.

Her Name is Elke

I made this dress for Chris' little cousin Elke...her grandparents placed my first custom-order (woohoo!). I'm going to start playing around with embroidery on the dresses...I think I like where this is going.

And They're Up!
