Simon has NO FEAR!! He is growing waaaay to fast!

Thomas took me to New York City for 3 nights without the boys!! YAY! We had the best time and realized we didn't take as many pictures as we thought. Here are a few. I will add the ones from my phone later. We had a blast and willl be going back :-0

View from our hotel bar! Staying in the middle of times square was fabulous and such a fun city to shop, go to fancy dinners and people watch!! And of course we saw the naked cowboy.

WOnderful view.

Rockefellor plaza. They were about to fill with water to freeze for the ice skating.

We visited the M & M world several times. It was right next door to our hotel. My favorite by far are the peanut butter M & M...sorry Louis mommy will eat yours!

Lego NYC was amazing and my boys would have LOVED it. I brought back halloween ghosts and bat legos for them.

We went to see Jersey Boys our last night. It was FABULOUS and Thomas even loved it. Such a great show!!

The Brown Bobbin

Hi everyone!!! It's been a little while since I have given you an update about my shop "The Brown Bobbin". My business has really picked up since opening in January of this year. I am so thankful and blessed to have such loyal local and non local customers!!! I have been doing things as simple as adding names to their own items to making complete outfits for them, to making local school personalized ribbons for each player to donating to local schools, churches and LOVING every minute of it!!! If you haven't visited my shop lately, you should!! www.etsy.com/shop/thebrownbobbin


I have several new items and LOTS more NEW items coming in! My most popular sellers her in Katy besides the bloomers are my XL hair bows!!! They are FABULOUS and the girls love to add their initial to make it "theirs"! I love them the little and even high school girls come and browse in my shop!! Their eyes light up and they can't wait to have one in every color :-) Below is a picture of one of my hair bow racks...I have three of them!!! All of my hair bows are solid classics and come in 2 sizes: medium (3-4") and XL (6-7"). Mediums are $3.50 and XL are $5 and they can add an initial for $1. Its so cute to see my bows walking around at Will's school!!

Some of you know but some of you do not so I wanted to announce that I am super excited about being a merchant this year at my Junior Leagues holiday market in November! I have always love our holiday market as a child and then when I became a league member it was so much fun to sell the tickets, and help out with the decorations and merchants lounge. I am still a member of the Junior League of Lake Charles (just non resident member)...so I will be so much fun seeing my league ladies, catching up and getting in the holiday spirit!!! I will be bringing everything with me :-) My top sellers and LOTS of new items!!!! I will be there at my "booth" November 16th - 19th! Come by and see me.
