Maggie's Rose Garden Boutique

The weather is my bones' foe these days, and I've been a bit of a bear; hibernating and gaining a few pounds of extra blubber.

So today was a perfect day for Magpie and I to put on the puppet show of the century. She dressed in her best formal attire for the occassion, a lovely yellow tutu dress adorned with blue mums and satin ribbon streamers.

She enjoyed her part as the giraffe and courtsied and she said, "Thank you very much, thank you." Sadly we couldn't find the fairy princess so we'll have to save her act for another dreary day. I would like to find a couple of patterns to make our own puppets.

I've started working on Valentine items for the store. I have been busy making hair bows and tutus galore so stop by. I think I will be having a season of love sale in the next couple of weeks. Not sure yet what that will entail, but I think I will be trying to cater to brides as the wedding season is starting right now. I have a wedding show to do towards the end of January. That should be a great experience.

I know I'm kind of rambling. I think I could really just go to bed right now and sleep until my husband tells me its time to get up. Maybe he'll let me sleep in and get the kids ready for school....maybe : )

I have been trying to add more tutu halter dresses to my store. Two recent added tutu dresses are the Santa's Princess Dress and the Snowflake Winter Princess Dress. Both are wonderful photo props for Christmas Holiday and Winter Photos. Both are beautiful for a winter theme birthday party too. I am offering a FREE hair pretty to match any tutu dress you purchase in the month of November.

The Santa Tutu Dress is made to look like Santa's suit. Hundreds of yards of red tulle are used to make the dress. I have added a pretty black satin sash adorned with a rhinestone buckle and soft white marabou is wrapped around the chest. With the special you will receive a FREE marabou puff hair clip.

The Snowflake Winter Princess Tutu Dress is light blue glimmer tulle, light silver glimmer tulle, and smoke blue tulle. The tulle layers have snowflake sequins embellished throughout. The chest is wrapped in light blue tulle and is adorned with a gorgeous sparkly snowflake.

I will be adding more holiday dresses and tutus as time allows. If you have a design idea and do not see it in my store, I am always happy to create custom designs : )
