happy happy springtime
Happy first day of Spring, everyone! (or Fall down there in the South.) Yippee! I can tell you without a doubt, this is the happiest I've ever been about the arrival of Spring. Old age is making me lose my tolerance for the cold. And it's a beeeea-utiful day to boot.
This is Maura. She's in my shop today along with a few other goodies. And don't forget the Welcome Spring Sale ends Saturday.
Is there not a single Willy Wonka fan out there? Anyone? Seriously? No?
**crickets**
Anyway, I promise next week I'll stop hounding you to buy things. It's going to be gift week for me. I have gobs of gifts to make including a wedding gift, a hostess gift, little girlie birthday gifts, and a few baby gifts. (Um, Angela? Is Milo off to college yet? I swear I'm still working on his present.)
I'm calling it a week. Even Brian has the day off tomorrow. Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Much love to you all.

Maura is very cute.
I had fun making a smock for my daughter last weekend. Thanks for the pattern!
Loved the Willy Wonka.

Of course there are Willy Wonka fans out here! I had my gals over to watch Willy Wonka for my eighth(?) birthday party when it rained and we couldn't go to Lake Lottawana. :)
Ack, Maura is so cute. Maybe I should just get her and forget the custom one this fall. That dress! I can't decide.
Oh, and I just got the cutest little Peter Pan collared onsie to go under the smock you made for Charlotte. I thought she'd be able to wear it with nothing under for summer, but this girl is GROWING. too. fast.

I'm a fan of the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka....not the Johnny Depp one
That doll is too cute

David and I used to constantly say "the snozberries taste like snozberries!" I don't know why, except we loved the idea of tasty wallpaper.
All day Olivia kept sining "it's the first day of spring la la la la!" AND it was gorgeous!

Cutie patootie! Spring looks good in your neck of the woods.

Such a pretty doll!
I cannot wait for the Spring weather either! I'm so tired of putting coats on and waiting for the heat to kick in when we are in the car.
Willy Wonka (the book and the movie) both scared me when I was a kid, so I stay away. Even at my age (34). Gene Wilder still creeps me out.
BTW, love your photos, here and at Noticing Project.

She is the cutest thing; love the hair ribbons... I agree - Gene Wilder beats Johnny Depp's W.W. any day. Though, the JD version is much closer to the Roald Dahl novel.

boo- Muara went really fast (or I am incredibly slow to the game)
adorable she is.
um, I am a HUGE WW fan. I like both versions of the movie, for different reasons. I have yet to read the novel however, perhaps that is my spring time reading assignment?
cheers!

*HUGE* wonka fan here!! I instantly heard it in my head when I read "Sweet lovers love... the Spring!" ;)
Let me tell you, Maura is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I mean WOW!!!! I truly admire your attention to detail and the very personality you've given her. There's so much that is just so sweet about her. ;) Well done.

Ha! We use the crickets joke around here so often. :)
I just read this post. Milo isn't off to college just yet BUT he is trying to crawl?!!!!
Maura is so lovely. I wish I had some spare loot to have bought her. Happy Spring to you. :)
