We also have all the dresses, accessories, dress capes, shoes and, of course, the gifts for the very special girls getting to attend these events!

We just got in a big shipment of new dresses and shoes, so hurry in!

Father & Daughter Date Night

I stayed too busy serving the meal at Covenant Academy's Father Daughter Dance (Junior Auxiliary volunteered to help out with that part of the evening) to get very many pictures but I did manage to snap this one of miss Gracie before the dessert portion of the night.

She got the dress from the store and I just think she looks so beautiful in it....like Cinderella! Lucky for you, we have lots of similar dresses in stock for all the upcoming pageants...even Easter Sunday!

Come check them out while supplies last.

It's almost spring!

Here are some of the first arrivals from our spring collection for boys and girls.

Aaahhh...I can almost smell the freshly cut grass!

And these are just too cute...with details on the front...

...and the back!

This dress (below) goes up to size 14...great for wearing a little dressy or with a sweater to go a little more casual.

We have Princess Ball tickets

Beautiful Girl

I got a text from Michelle Brock with a picture of Gracie before last night's Father Daughter Date Night. Gracie (and big sis Brittany) had her heart set on this blue dress in one of our catalogues and we were able to order it and have it in just in time for the big night!

Isn't she so pretty? What a lucky guy her "date" for the night was!

Keep this in mind when shopping for Easter dresses, suits and tuxes. We have a good stock of dresses in all colors, styles and sizes....and we also have several suits and tuxes in different sizes and styles...but if we don't have exactly what you want, we will do our best to find and get it sent ASAP!

Working Girl and Cute Clothing for Spring

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately. I started full time as Community Relations Coordinator at River Park in the Marketing Department in December and have just stayed busy with that ever since. Add to that wedding planning and Junior Auxiliary and that's my life right now!

I'm learning to better manage my time though, and I promise to be better! Just give me some time!

.........................................................................

Now...I know you're all curious about what is going on at the shop...

Well, it's January, which, of course means that we're gearing up for SPRING! Yes, that's right...it's 20 degrees outside and new spring merchandise is coming in every few days!

But there is no time like the present to stock up for spring. The season will be here in no time and your favorite fashions might be gone by that time! We'll try to save you some though.

Our new spring clothes have already started coming in, and you just have to see the adorable stuff that's coming in! We know right now you're all concerned with finding the cutest clothes out there for your kids, you want them to hold up for more than just a season, but you don't want to give an arm and a leg for them! You also want decent and modest stuff that doesn't make your kids look older than they are...am I right?

For the girls, skorts (Do you remember skorts? I love them!) and yoga pants are a big deal this year, and they show up a lot in our new spring lines! Sequins and peace signs are bigger than ever and bubble dresses and tops are sooo trendy too!

Check back soon for photos and even more spring news!

Father Daughter Date Night

Father-Daughter Date Night in McMinnville is FEBRUARY 7th and this year there are two father-daughter events on that night!

The 13th annual Father/Daughter Date Night that is put on every year by Grand Rental Station, McMinnville Parks and Recreation and other sponsors will be held at the McMinnville Civic Center. This is a classic McMinnville event that my dad use to take me to! Tickets usually sell out on the day that they go on sale but you can call McMinnville's Grand Rental Station to check or if you have any questions.

&

The very first Daughters of the King of Kings Princess Ball - A Night for Fathers and Daughters will be put on by Covenant Academy and will take place at the school. We have the tickets for this particular event at the shop and you can visit Covenant Academy's blog for more information. This is a fundraiser for Covenant Academy with all proceeds going to their wonderful school. I'm sure they're planning to make this an annual event so attendees this year are sure to get lots of treats!

Tickets for both are in limited quantities but with two events this year there shouldn't be as many disappointed daddies and daughters who missed out on tickets.

We have the dresses that all little girls want for this special event! Come in and check out our wide selection of semi-formal dresses in a variety of colors and fabrics. We also have the coats, wraps and capes to make sure that they're as toasty as can be on the way to and from the dinner and dance (although Daddy's suit coat is always an option too...and makes for just as cute pictures)!



Psssst! Mention this post for 30% off your dress purchase!

So pretty

I just love smocking! So pretty and so intricate...I wish I had that skill/patience!

This is just one of the beautiful dresses we have at the shop for your baby girl...from newborn to 4T...some even have dolls with matching dresses. And with all the pageants coming up...now is the time to come see what we have in store!

Hey Manchester...and Paula's Dance Academy!

The Warren County Fair Baby Show and Little Fairest of the Fair might be over (more about that in another post very soon!)...but Manchester's fair is next week!

We LOVE our Manchester customers and we can't leave y'all out!

We have can-cans and slips, shoes, dresses, suits as well as casual country outfits, diaper covers, jewelry, bows, headbands and anything else that you might need! Come on over to McMinnville...we're just across the county line!

____________________________________________

And since the fair and school have taken up all of my time this week...I've been negligent about posting...so here is a double post for you!

We have leotards, ballet shoes, jazz shoes, skirts and bags for all you dancers out there! Paula at Paula's Dance Academy has just started classes and it's time to get all your supplies! Come see us first for all your dance-wear needs!

I LOVE this dress!

I really wish this dress came in my size. It's mature looking, but not too grownup...very decent, very classy, appropriate for any occasion!

Pageant and Flower Girl Dresses

For you last minute fair pageant shoppers...we just got in a shipment of really pretty pageant dresses for the littler girls and little suits and tuxes for the little boys!

I'll post pictures of the boys stuff later today...but for now here are some of the dresses! Soooo pretty! They would also make great flower girl dresses...we actually ordered a couple that I might possibly use for my flowergirls!

Come in and see!

The Women's and Children's Health and Wellness Fair

Every year, this day of health screenings, give-aways, spring fashion and good old fashioned family fun is held at the Three Star Mall. It is sponsored by Riverpark Hospital and I think they really really out-did themselves with this year's event! The crowd was huge and there were lots of vendors there to keep them entertained! Right behind our booth there were a bunch of bunch of really cool video games that the mall had moved in just for today...all the kids (two pictured above...haha) had fun spending their quarters on!

I set up a booth for the shop, of course, where I showed off the new spring Crocs and did a little bit of advertising. It's good sometimes to go somewhere else and show off the merchandise when we get the chance!

Junior Auxiliary also had a booth right next to mine, which was super-convenient; I could work at both of them! I want to thank Caitlin McClain, our newly-crowned Junior Miss Warren County for coming out today to represent JA. She was beautiful and so good with all the little kids who wanted to talk to "the princess"! She really really made us look good! I can't wait to work with her more this year!

Ashley's Attic was also involved in the Spring Fashion Show. Miss Emily Hobbs organized it this year (I've done it for the past 5 years or so) and she did a WONDERFUL job. I was so excited to actually get to watch it a little bit this year. I think she ran it a little more smoothly than I ever could...maybe she just commands more obedience in the little kids running all over the place than I can! Brandi Mansfield over at Dream Custom Artwork emceed the fashion show and she was really good under pressure...things did get just a little crazy up there, as it always is with a big group of people!

Our models were wonderful...Chalee, Alyssa, Aliza, Kora, RheaLee, Bralyn, Chelsey, Tori, Lauren and Caitlin. Thanks to all of them for being so great and their mommies and daddies and grandparents for helping me out so much today!

Here are a few pictures from the day...

Queens for a Cure, my other group, also had a booth set up. Miss Paula Wanamaker was holding a bake sale and even though I didn't get to go over there and help out; I did buy some cupcakes...her banana bread cupcakes with honey cinnamon icing were AWESOME...Oh Goodness! Chalee and I both love love love loved them! The proof is here in the following picture...Chalee was "saving some for later" on her chin I think!
