To Those Who Look Away...

To Those Who Look Away:
To those who look away when I grow teary-eyed walking past the baby department, look a little deeper. Surely you have some compassion in your heart. To those who change the subject when I speak my son's name, change your way of thinking. It just might change your whole life. To those who roll their eyes and say that we barely had him at all, how could we miss him so much, in my heart I have seen him live a thousand times. I have seen his first steps, first day of school, his wedding, and his children. I have him forever in my mind. To those who say to get on with my life, I have. It is a different life now, the life of a grieving mother. One with a tremendous amount to be thankful for, but also one with a lot to mourn the loss of. Do not judge the bereaved mother. I come in many forms. I am breathing, but I am dying. I may look young, but inside I have become ancient. I smile, but my heart sobs. I walk, I talk, I cook, I clean, I work, I AM , but I AM NOT, all at once. I am here, but part of me is elsewhere for eternity. Do not dismiss me! I have shaped more than just the future generation. I have released a tiny angel who is watching over you. Open your eyes to US and you just might see him.

Ginger Blossom!


The children's custom boutique community has been a buzz for months in anticipation of the launch of Ginger Blossom by Sandi Henderson. Sandi has stepped out on a new adventure and taken the leap into the world of fabric design. Her risk paid off! The gorgeous new fabric line, produced by Michael Miller, is helping etsy designers to create gorgeous, romantic and extraordinary designs for our launch.
Every fabric in this line is utilized by one designer or another. While the fabric will be the same, the designs will be far from similar. Each designer has taken a unique approach to the drape, feel and silhouette this fabric will take in their one-of-a-kind designs.Still working on mine, but I'll be sure to reveal when finished.
