Destash

I started my 'spring cleaning' only to discover I had much more than clutter that needed to go! I didn't realize how much stash I had!  Not to mention the boxes of inventory.  Needless to say I am starting to understand hubby's grumpy attitude about buying more boutique things.

I decided it is definately time to declutter and destash the shop.  To that end I am having a 50% off sale on all instock items and supplies. Headbands, bottlecaps, tulle, tutus, bows, outfits, flip flops etc.   I will be adding more as I come across it.

 

www.littlelovlies.com The sale code is IC50.  Keep checking hyena cart for more great deals.

Garage Sale and Good Finds

This has been one busy week. I feel like I am burning at both ends. Probably because I am, but what mom isn't?


I have been helping my mom get ready for a garage sale 10 years overdue. We found some amazing vintage fabric, lace and buttons. We also had our own Pot of Gold finds too. Mine was my grandmother's recipe box and her high school diploma from 1931. My mom's was her baby spoon and layet. She has never seen it so that was really cool to witness. We found lots of family heirlooms hidden in my grandmother's belongings that were just put away when she passed in 1998.



My grandmother was definately one amazing woman. She is the person who taught me to crochet, embroider, quilt and felt. The last piece we worked on together was a twin comforter and valance I still have. She taught me that handmade means love.


I have been working on some new items for the shop all week. Flip flops, socks, hair accessories and upcycled creations. The rest of the sock line should be stocked by the end of next week. Be on the lookout for some great vintage lace, fabric and buttons in the next week as well.



I am extending the penny shipping on flip flops from http://www.littlelovlies.etsy.com/ for the month of April. It has been going well and I am still adding new color combinations. They should be up this weekend. Then I am off to start headbands and bottlecaps.



I also opened a new shop on Hyena Cart. www.hyenacart.com/littlelovlies. I am offering free shipping on all orders over $25. FSCF is the checkout code use in order to receive that promotion. I have the socks and flip flops up the cart already. I am excited to get the cart going full force.




The kiddos are awesome as always. Abbie has decided that at 2 she knows everything and I am stupid. Everything is a drama convention and worthy of Oscars. Her screaming, I mean singing, she thinks is worthy of Tony's and we think needs earplugs. We just smile and say good job anyway. Gabe is now 16lbs and teething. Which is no fun when nursing, but we'll get through it. I almost have him sleeping in a bed instead of his swing. Wish us luck.



Sending love and prayers your way,
Carrie

Hi There!!

My name is Carrie. I am a Christian SAHM with a beautiful three year old daughter and a bouncing baby boy. I have an incredible husband, David. He works extremely hard so I can be the mom I have always wanted to be.

About two years ago he lost a major portion of our income and I had already quit my outside job. After racking my brains and heart about what to do I decided that being a mama and wife were more important than material items. But when the bills started stacking I realized something had to give. So, I started a business out of my home to help supplement my husband's income. Thus, Little Lovlies Boutique was born.

I love making beautiful and functional items for little ones. I love the way tutus and hair bows make little girls look so angelic. I decided to make simple designs to let mamas show off their kiddos too. I love going barefoot, but can't always so I added flip flops to my line. I also make reversible swaddle blankets, burp rags and cloth wipes (that double as washcloths). I also have a great line called upcycle. I take good condition denim and give it a new life. I am in the process of creating a boys and girls clothing line. You can check out my boutiques at www.littlelovlies.etsy.com www.littlelovlies.artfire.com and www.littlelovlies.com

I have to send a shout out to my Cafemom Street Team ladies. When you go to Etsy search cafemom team and on Artfire search CST guild. You will get some fabulous results!!
