speak up

in a fantastic furry of inspiration,
she scribbled down her thoughts and imagined the possibilities.
It was raining, yet that only fueled her fire.
all those years of quote keeping finally had a reason.
all those words that touched her and haunted her mind
finally had a place.
she was tired of being quiet.
she had things to say.
it suddenly did not matter that she was not saying them to people deemed important.
she wasn't seeking them.
she was seeking the people who found her 
and understood her words.
as the words left her she wished for the people who happened upon them.
she hoped that they would READ them 
and CHANGE their mind.
That THEY would feel important.
they are AMAZING she thought
as she hoped they knew that they could just BE.
Love one another.
accept each other,
be BRAVE enough to do the little things
and speak their mind.

a little bit about where the speak up collection came from
a new line of products that have lots to say.
the first batch hit the shop last night.
What do you have to say?

a lovely jacket for your ipad

mustard vintage inspired jacket

That would be fun right?
Well, at least I've got the jackets covered.
Cozy and soft. made out of wool just like your blazer.
Feminine and sweet just like a true gal.
And the details??
that will be the part that you'll pretty much  just want to kiss.
Options may very well be available in every color of the rainbow....

She really is simply awesome.

I am so completely smitten with my new jackets for ipad or your other ereaders
....and I plan on running with it a little so I hope you can keep pace ;)
first one hit the shop this morning!

Under the snow and day dreaming...

overheard: "look at my driveway! It's all white!! the village is ALL WHITE!!!

As the snowflakes started to fall this morning the kiddos were all too pleased. They started daydreaming about SNOWDAYS....and 2 hour delays....
I couldn't help but tease them- "no, you guys are home schooled. You don't get to play in the snow...."
Between lessons about Santa in other Countries and a little bit of the Wright brothers,lunch and SEWING up 2 adorable orders, we had to take a break:

They may have been day dreaming about the snow: but I was day dreaming about my newest purse. Here's a hint to any of you TwiHARDS: It's going to be called theBELLA. Some days she might be for Edward, and somedays she'll be all about Jacob.... but either way she'll be rock'n. Stay tuned.

Hope you are enjoying December where ever you happen to be. Snow or not ;-) OKay, back to work.
