New Sprinkle Tutu Pictures

I was going to write a longer post but Mad Men starts in just a few minutes...

Wendy from Cantwell Creations rounded up some adorable models for us to re-shoot the Sprinkle tutus.
These little cuties were so much fun!!! Looking at the pictures you would never know just hot hot and humid it was. I loved so many of them and had such a hard time narrowing it down to three for my website. Here are a few:

I'm Back!!!!

I can't believe I let a month go by without posting. Sorry for neglecting my blog for so long...
Hope you have had a great month!!! We have been super busy enjoying summer.
I have so enjoyed seeing the pictures of your little ones in their 4th of July tutus. I stocked up on star garland so I will be ready to do them again next year!!! I also now have Happy Birthday Garland and starts, butterflies and hearts. Garland can be added to any tutu for $5 (contact me for more details).
If you haven't been to my website in the last couple of weeks - check out my new banner. I also added two new designs. The Diva is a The Lemon Drop Girl original and Double The Tutu is a popular design with a The Lemon Drop Girl twist.
Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Giving Back

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!!!
I have been so busy over the last two weeks. I had two big orders to get out. One is done and shipped and the other will be hand delivered tomorrow when we go to Springfield.
My best friend opened her own dance studio (if you live in Springfield, MO you have to check out the Red Door Dance Company - it is the most amazing dance studio I have ever seen!!!) earlier this year and this Sunday is her first recital!!! We are packing the car and heading out tomorrow morning with 13 tutus and two little girls -I can't wait!!!



So awhile back I decided to take my flower beanies and headbands off my site. I will still do them upon request to go with your tutus but it was taking up too much space to have a lot on hand. I was going to offer them on sale when someone approached me about a friend of a friend who's daughter is fighting brain cancer. All these ideas started rushing to me and the end result is that I decided that for every tutu I sell I will donate a flower beanie to a child fighting cancer. I plan to work with several organizations and hospitals and will rotate between them each month. This will be the first month. I am excited to be able to send June's flower beanies to The Blanket Fairy. Kim Ortega is the founder of this great organization. She works night and day to brighten the day of some very special little boys and girls.

In addition to organizing various fundraisers (Christmas in July is the most recent)she also makes blankets for each child she learns about. She wants to be able to provide a blanket for everyone who contacts her so she is always looking for fabric donations.
I will update you at the end of the month on how many beanies will be going to The Blanket Fairy.
So my space issue still isn't solved - LOL but I am so excited to be able to do this. Thanks to everyone who has or will in the future help me to give back!

4th of July Tutus

We got to spend yesterday morning with the wonderful Jessica Horton, we were lucky to have two other models for our shoot (oh - and a 5th if you count the little frog - LOL).
It was so fun to see four little girls running around in there tutus. They had so much fun (for a little while anyway..) and Jessica worked so quickly. She is SO good!!!! oh and she has the most AMAZING set in her backyard. She rebuilt it from an old building and it was the perfect background for our pictures.
I was planning on being ever so patient while I waited for these - imagine my surprise when I realized Jessica had stayed up super late to get them done - THANK YOU!!!
So here it is - the 4th of July tutu







I hope you LOVE this one as much as I do!!!
It is officially available on my website The Lemon Drop Girl
