Mary Michael Children's Apparel Premier Collection

So, we have some catching up to do...I mean some real catching up. See, I started this blog to initially talk about my business. What business your asking? Well, about 4 years ago I started up my own childrens line, aptly named Mary Michael. I quickly came up with a line of samples (thats a story in itself since I did not sew at the time) and made my way to Atlanta market and sold the clothes wholesale to children's boutiques. I sold more than I ever could have imagined and ended up having the line carried in over 100 stores throughout the southeast. Well, that "success" soon took its toll and after 18 months I had to take a breather. So the business became idle and has been until now.

I joined up with Shanon and we have decided to change gears a little and sell the clothes directly to our customers through private shows, website and catalogue.







We offer whimsicle appliqued playclothes in sizes 6 months through 6X. You can mix and match our peices and you have the option to buy only what you need...each piece is priced seperatly. You can add an applique to anything or take an aplique off, you can add a monogram or choose to leave the outfit blank without any embroidery. You make the item what you want!







We have worked so very hard to get this collection just right and I am so happy with it and so excited to share it with you!









I hope you love these outfits as much as we do...









We will be having a show tomorrow at Soho Sweets off of Oxmoor Road in Edgewood (Homewood, Alabama). We would love to see you there!











And if you are able to make the show tomorrow, there will be an entire rack full of fall/winter items ALL marked at just $5! Can't beat that!







This is just a little sneak peak at the Spring & Summer line, but if you want to see the entire collection, check out our website www.marymichaelclothing.com We are still trying to get our online payment system up and going and are hoping that gets resolved asap. But feel free to call or email us if you are interested in placing an order or if you have any questions or comments...we want to hear from you! :) Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the beautiful warmer weather!

Unwintery Weather and a Sneak Peak

I'm not even sure if unwintery is a word but none the less we had some last weekend. It has been a cold and wet winter but last weekend was sunny and the temps rose into the 70's, so we hit the door to enjoy the day outside. We loaded up with bikes, books, bottles, plenty of snacks and drinks and made our way downtown to the Railroad Park. If you have not been yet, you are missing out!! It is awesome both for kids and adults. So we laid out a blanket, unloaded and enjoyed our morning and early afternoon.

Ash and the older 2 ran off first thing to the playground. So, Lynlee and I laid out on the blanket and got some much needed rest. We also snuck in a mini photo shoot. These pics turned out really good and I may even mat and frame a few for the house. It does help to have, in my opinion, the cutest of baby models! :)









Then the other half came back over for more play...








We took a break to eat a snack and refuel. While doing so, I snapped this picture of Landon while he was drinking a Capri Sun...



and it turned out so good, I convinced him I needed to get a few more to turn into Capri Sun for a commercial (ha!)...he got really into it! :)







Then it was back to more play...














And since, I ended up with so many pics of Lynlee and Landon, I went after Lucy next. She was too busy playing babies though to look my way...no surprise there. :)











After a few hours we were all worn out!






Mission accomplished! :)



We came home and napped. But the weather was still so gorgeous we decided to grill out and eat as fresco and enjoy the outside a little more...













All in all, we made the most of the unwintery weather while it lasted. Today we are back to cold and wet with sleet and freezing rain...boo! I am so ready for spring and its warmer weather!! And to get you in the mood too, here is a sneak peak at our Crab criss cross top with a bloomer!



The entire line will be up for everyone to see on our website www.marymichaelclothing.com next week, if not earlier, so be sure to check it out! Have a wonderful weekend!!
