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.

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!

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!

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!

Congratulations Chance!

This is Chance, the son of Aimee and Travis Hale. Back in the early spring Chance won 1st runner up in the Little Mister Warren County Pageant and I have been meaning to post congratulations to him ever since.

He wore in the pageant a Lito suit from Ashley's Attic...one of the HANDSOMEST suits we've ever had...definitely a favorite of mine at the shop!! And doesn't he look handsome in it? Aimee sent me these pictures recently...and there's no time like the present to post CONGRATULATIONS to him and Aimee!

I love all of Aimee's kids...this kid, though, is just so talkative and friendly...he's super special. He's the big brother of the family and is such a good one!

I'm so excited about this most recent accomplishment of his...we're all very proud of him here at Ashley's Attic! GO CHANCE!

"I Winned, I Winned Ashley!"

That's what Chalee exclaimed to me after she accepted her trophy at the Dibrell School Spring Pageant! She won overall in her division of the pageant!

Ok, so she was the only little girl in her division...but I like to think that when everyone heard that Chalee was going to be in the pageant, they just didn't show up because they knew that she was going to win!

She was wearing a cute pink sleeveless dress by Will Beth and we have dresses very much like this one for those of you who need a simple but elegant dress for the spring.

and just a couple more pics...here she is in her new Hello Kitty sunglasses that we gave her for being in the pageant. I think they compliment the dress great; don't you think?

Chalee and her "Aunt Henen"

And the dandelions are "fairies" to her...

Chalee and her proud daddy, Johnathan Womack.

Chalee can't figure out how to curtsy...but this is her attempting it!

The Snow Princess Pageants

As most of you know, I am a member of McMinnville's Junior Auxiliary Club. Next month we will be holding our annual Snow Princess Pageants at the McMinnville Civic Center. It will be on Saturday, February 9 at 5pm.

These are a couple of great pageants and all of the proceeds from them go back into our organization so that we can provide different services to the families in our community with a special emphasis on the Children of Warren County.

The Little Miss Snow Princess is for girls, ages 5-7 and the Miss Snow Princess Pageant is for girls, ages 8-10. We are only accepting the first 50 girls entered in each pageant so that the pageant won't go on all night!

I have applications here at the store and they are going fast!

I am also in charge of getting the prizes and programs together for the pageants, so if any of you readers know anyone or you yourself would be interested in either: donating something to the prize baskets (there are 14 in all!),

or advertising in the program, just let me know...email me or call the shop! Anything at all would help us out...because every penny that doesn't come out of the pageant budget goes towards our service projects!

The prices for advertising are $25 for a half-page ad and $50 for a full page ad...a full page ad also comes with 2 reserved tickets to the pageant and is a great option for family members or sponsors interested in a "good luck" ad for their contestant!

Father-Daughter Date Night

I know those coveted Father - Daughter Date Night tickets sold out in a very short time yesterday and I hope everyone that wanted them was able to find a way to get them. I remember when my dad and I use to go...it always meant alot to me (and I'm sure to him) to have that special night for just the two of us.

At the age I am now, I don't think I could get through a night of the father - daughter songs without breaking down in tears and having red eyes and no makeup by the end of the night! Have you guys heard the song Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks? I start crying before he even finishes the first sentence! So dad and I have opted instead to make a special night a few times a year where we go eat mexican food and maybe catch a movie....much better for my tear-ducts.

For all those little (and pre-teen) girls still attending Father-Daughter Date Night, though; we have the perfect dress. They aren't the big, sparkly and fancy (and many times EXPENSIVE!) pageant dresses that are floating around out there but they are the beautiful and age-appropriate "daddy's little girl" dresses that are oh so perfect for a night like this.

Come in and check them out. Mom is running a special 25% off sale on all of our formal wear if you mention Father-Daughter Date Night. Hurry before they're all gone!
