~ Handmade Holiday ~

Here are just a few of the wonderful handmade gifts Devon and I scored for the holiday season...my mom knitted Devon's adorable bunny sweater...
...and she made this little cutie too!
This is my "I love New York" charm bracelet that my sister made for me. You can check out more of her beautiful creations @ www.deerhoundjulie.etsy.com

~ Vacation at Home ~

Devon and I are taking a little break from the store to have time to explore, play and work on new pieces. We will be reopening after the New Year. Have a happy one :)

Devon and Jackson (the birthday boy)

Devon was a busy little lady this holiday season. She attended her first birthday party for Jackson (the adorable son of an old classmate of mine, also from The Art Institute)

~ Hurray for Hats ~

YAY! Devon finally got over her "no hats" phase... just in time for the cold weather!

My mom knitted the grey/white hat, which looks so adorable with those pom poms bouncing around her head :)

~ Stand Tall ~

"DON'T KEEP YOUR GOODNESS LOCKED UP IN YOUR SOUL!

DON'T KEEP YOUR DECENT QUALITIES ENTRAPPED LIKE A PRISONER!

EACH KID HAS A RIGHT TO STAND TALL AND BE HUMAN!

EVERY CHILD IS FREE TO SOUND THE ECHO OF THEIR HEART!

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE VERY PERSON YOU ARE;

IF YOU ARE PROUD OF BEING HERE ON EARTH

THEN GET OUT OF THE CHAIR

AND HOLD UP YOUR HEAD!

STAND HIGH AS MOUNT EVEREST

AND SOUND THE MESSAGE!

LET PEOPLE KNOW

YOU'RE A PERSON OF LOVE!

MAKE EVERYBODY ASSURED

IN YOUR OWN WAY

YOU'RE SPECIAL!

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS

THE BEST THEY CAN BE.

THE BEST YOU CAN BE,

STAND TALL AND BE YOU!"

Our newest piece is the perfect compliment to our "Long Winters Nap" leggings....

It's a simply pretty (and comfortable) top with a pair of jeans. Or wear it around the house with our leggings as an adorable pajama set! Great for layering up in the cold weather :)
