Christmas Time!

Yikes! I can't believe I am posting this - but I couldn't resist! This was a gift set I was hoping to save till Christmas, but it is so modern and sweet I honestly think it is appropriate for any season. So here it goes.. Newly added to my shop today and after many requests I added a baby blanket that coordinates. Enjoy. Please click on pictures to buy. Thanks for supporting hand-made.

Soft Chime Balls

I am so excited for the recent addition to my shop.... these sweet chime balls. I love the modern prints and the sweet chime it makes when it's shaken. I need another baby - quick!!! Just so she/he can play with these soft balls. They come packaged in a set of 3 in soft tulle ready for gift giving. Now available at http://www.lemonsandlollis.com/.

Vinyl Critters!

I guess you could say my daughter is becoming quite spoiled. Now, that I am adding all these new products to my shop I always make sure to set one aside for her. Not only to have my built in product tester, but often when a new shipment arrives she immediately thinks it's something for her. So needless to say both of us were screaming with joy when the shipment of vinyl critters showed up! I have to give Stephanie (the creator and artists) a huge shout - out! I am so in love with these critters I honestly stole my daughters from her. Maybe it's the vinyl - it's so flexible and soft - I was pretty surprised by this fact. Or... it could be the smell of the vinyl; maybe it reminded me of my dad's old el Camino. If you are reading this and saying to your self "what the heck is an el Camino" you are seriously going to make me feel old - so just play along!
Anyways, back to my product tester - a.k.a. my daughter. She immediately grabs the pink giraffe (which she has now adopted as her own)... and made him walk across the floor. She then started making this elephant noise (I'm still am not sure if she knows the difference between a giraffe and an elephant - or it could be that mommy can't quite distinguish the noises either). It was so darn cute I went to grab my camera. Unfortunately my batteries were dead and I missed that Kodak moment. Long story short I am screaming with joy to share these vinyl critters with you. Now available at http://www.lemonsandlollis.com/! Enjoy!

Grand Re-Opening!

I am so excited to be back open! It has been a busy month for me finalizing our fall collection and building our new and improved website. I would love to hear feedback - I'm not a website designer by any means so this was a big undertaking for me! I learned a lot though and I am so glad I ventured down that path.

Before I highlight some items in my fall collection I want to send much thanks to all the wonderful comments and support I have received from so many of my customers! You guys rock!

So we have a ton of new stuff... but I wanted to highlight a few special items here. These are all limited editions. Only one is available in each size in each color combo - so if you see something you like I suggest you buy it now. Once they are sold, no more will be made. I hope you like them as much as I do - these were by far the most fun I had sewing my fall collection.

I also made this sweet tote for my daughter who just celebrated her second birthday. It turned out so cute, I decided to make 3 more to sell in my shop. Once these are sold - no more will be made.

Finally, I have made the decision to expand my website and start carrying some fabulous Handmade Items from other wonderful designers. I am choosing items that I had bought for my daughter, that I feel are unique, well made, and stand the torture of a 2 year old! Here is the latest addition - but I have a lot more coming!

As always thanks for supporting handmade - and please subscribe to my blog to receive notifications when new items hit our shop! (just enter your email address to the right on my blog's home page http://www.lemonsandlollis.blogspot.com/)

I have to share a little story! I have a wonderful friend name Ruby. We actually met in a mom's playgroup almost 2 years ago. Life has lead us to different parts of the country, but we still stay in touch. She has been successfully selling jewelry in person to various outlets and I have to say her products are STUNNING!!! Due to some probing and pushing from me and others we have convinced her to open up her own online shop! She uses only the finest gemstones and sterling silver. Her products are meant to last a lifetime. Here are some of my favorites.

She is running a "SUMMER BLOWOUT" Sale until August 17th and has all of her products are marked 20% off!! This is the time to give her products a try - trust me - You won't be dissapointed! Plus they already come packaged for gift giving! Do you have a birthday coming up for someone special! Please help support handmade - buy shopping Etsy and Crystal Kitten Jewelry!

Cheers!

So I know I have said this before, but I have the best customers ever. I feel so priviledge to have met so many wonderful and equally talented people through my shop. One person in particular has really become a friend even though we haven't ever met in person. She is so genuinely sweet and generous I just have to send out hugs via my blog!!! Amber - you rock!!!

New Graphic T-shirts!

I expect to be completed with all my big orders by Monday. Yeah!!! I have already been focusing on my new fall collection and can't wait to get it in my shop. I hate to say though that it won't be until September! I have a vacation/family reunion coming up in about two weeks and will be taking this time to catch up on some housework, organize my studio, and make lots of cool stuff for my fall collection. I do have a fabulous announcement though!!!

I started doing some graphic t-shirt designing. I honestly have so many ideas that flow through my head and never enough time to bring them to life via my current medium of applique; so this will be a fabulous outlet. You can currently purchase my graphic t-shirts through my second Lemons and Lollis shop; however, I will be adding these to my main shop by September. I have a lot more designs to come so please check back often!

Oh... one last thing - please see my main blog and vote if you want to see an organic product line! http://www.lemonsandlollis.blogspot.com/

Above are a few of my graphic designs that are currently available here!

My biggest order!

I am finally getting some of my big orders shipped out - You can't even see all the bibs and burp cloths buried under these onesies!!! But you get the idea... it feels so nice to get this stuff done - I hate making people wait for their stuff! Can you believe this pile!!! Honestly - the picture doesn't do it justice!

YIPEE!!!!

Custom Quilt

So I am still playing catch up with my orders... thankfully I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!!! I hope to be posting new items in my shop in about two weeks - I HOPE!!! Anyways.. I have to share my latest order which was a custom quilt. One of my repeat customers - who has been so utterly patient with me - thank you - you know who you are - ordered this custom quilt. I can't be given all the credit because she picked out all the fabrics... but honestly - who doesn't love Amy Butler!!! Every time I do a quilt out of her fabric it will instantly become my favorite! So here it is! Enjoy!

Lemons and Lollis featured in Charleston Magazine July 2007 Issue

Lemons and Lollis Temporarily Closed!

We will temporarily be closing our doors to new orders. Thanks to all our wonderful customers we are swamped with orders and want to devote our time and attention to processing these.

Amy Butler new NIGELLA Fabrics are COMING!!!

***NEW FABRICS COMING!!*****

I am happy to say my new "Eeva Dress" has been a big hit. I started this collection in the designer fabrics from Joel Dewberry. He just hit the scene and his fabrics are incredible. Due to the overwhelming response I will be adding more fabrics for this new design - plus I will be doing some jackets for upcoming fall and winter.

Amy Butler has been a favorite fabric designer for years now. I have personally made a few quilts from her fabrics alone. Her stuff is modern and eclectic with a bit of traditional. I LOVE IT!!! She just released a new line called "nigella". It is absolutely stunning!! I will be adding to my "eeva dress" line with three more dresses from Amy Butler fabrics. Two dresses will feature her new "nigella" line and a third from her classic "belle" collection. Unfortunately some of these fabrics are on back order - so it is hard to say when these will be available in my shop. If you would like to be notified when the dresses are available for sale. Please subscribe to this blog (see the column to the right) to receive updates!

Thanks - and as always - please support fellow artists by shopping handmade - ONLY on ETSY!
