Balls of love...

I was totally inspired when I saw the baking genius of Bakerella and took it upon myself to try and make some of her scrumptious cake-balls for my friend Elba's baby shower. I was thrilled with how easy they were and a total hit at the party! I got all of the supplies: lollipop sticks, plastic safety pins, dipping chocolate, basket & grass at Michaels craft store. The cake inside is just a Devils Food mix and choc frosting hand mixed together. Find the recipe at Bakeralla , these would be great for Easter :)

Spucing up...

Now that Spring is on it's way I've had a chance to do some updates to Frock Shop that I've been thinking about. Even though I have just a small amount of jewelry the display of it has bothered me since opening. I've put together some great glass cases and merchandised the jewelry on necks and cute diplays, I'm so pleased with how it looks now! We will be putting more jewelry up on the website soon too.

New Pink & White stripe curtains to dress up the window and best of all, the new counters my lovely hubby made!

When will our sun shine...

It is so rainy & cold here in Seattle that it's making me want spring to come sooner! Next week I'm expecting some new spring items in Frock Shop and we have added a few new things to the website, more in the coming weeks! www.shopfrockshop.com

Holiday Frocks!

Holiday dresses have definitely been the hot ticket this season! Here are a few saucy little numbers we have in the store right now. We have more online and in the shop that havn't had a chance to get online yet. Keep checking back for more sales and more styles. www.shopfrockshop.com

Jingle all the way...

I have started buying more cute Christmas tree ornaments than usual! Last year I went to lots of estate sales and bought some wonderful vintage glass ornaments. This year I'm in love with vintage looking animals, glitter penguins and flocked deer. I'm going to post some more photos of the cute ornaments that I purchase last weekend in Vancouver. Here are the two that I found at Urban Outfitters (www.urbanoutfitters.com ) online:

They are designed by the artist Jennifer Murphy whom I've always admired. So, was please to find these for $10 (a bit more than what I normally spend at estate sales, but worth it! :) Now it's going to be a challenge to keep the puppy away from the tree and all of the dangling toys!

Speaking of puppy, he is all grown up now! Jason has taken some beautiful photos of little Buster in our studio:

If you scroll down to older entries you can see the baby pictures of Buster when he was just a couple months old. Now after his snip and his grooming he is all growed up. Still acts like a puppy though!

I am pretty behind on my blog entries, its hard to keep up sometimes! I am posting a picture of the Frock Shop holiday window here as well. The sale is on until into January, with more going on sale each week.

 

Holiday Sale at Frock Shop!

Selected items are 30-50% off in the store and online, www.shopfrockshop.com

More will go on sale closer to Christmas and into January!
