**~ Feature with The Playground Divas ~**

I am doing a Guest Launch with the Group **~ The PlayGround Divas ~**. They have chosen a Halloween theme. I don't normally do themed sets, so it is fun to launch with other groups and stretch my creativeness. What a joy it was to wake up this morning and find that I have been featured in their group for my previewed set!
the Launch is on the 11th, so be sure and take a look at all the wonderful designers who have assembled for **~ The PlayGround Divas * Halloween Guest Launch ~**!



P.S. As an added bonus, this set is featured on Journal Modiste also!

Very Blessed!

Just a little update on the "Eloise in Paris" set. I sold two sets from one auction. This was one of my favorite sets, so I am so glad it did well. One of ladies wanted the model set, as she needed it right away, and the size was right. I think one of the main reasons this set did so well, Reagan took such cute pictures! Dosn't she look just like you would imagine Eloise?

JM Feature

Boutique Eccentricity is having it's very first launch, with the theme of Literary Treasures. A little known fact, if you all promise not to tell, is that my given name is Elouise, which I have hated. So after being nicknamed Louie in high school, have gone by Louie ever since. One thing that helped me tolerate my name was the adorable character Eloise, who lived on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel in NY. She is a mischievous little 6 year old, who is preoccupied with learning every one's business and executing clever pranks on the hotel guests. I have always enjoyed her fun loving spirit, feeling a little kinship with this sweet little character.

So guess who I chose to fashion my design after for the launch? Of course, it was Eloise. I picked the book, "Eloise in Paris"! Today I was surprised and overjoyed to be featured for my Eloise set in Journal Modiste!

Reagan Did a wonderful job of modeling and her cute faces that depict the character and charm of Eloise were so charming!!! I think this has turned out to be one of my favorites, from all the sets I have designed.

Business is booming!

I have been so thrilled, lately, with sales on my designs. I have sold six sets in the last few weeks. I will be busy, as four of them are customs and I will have to re-create them in a two to three week window. Thanks to all my wonderful customers, who have given me the best complement of all, they have purchased my new designs. I am going to be working on some new items for a Diva and Mom open house. I will be posting some previews in the near future of some of the items I will feature in the open house. For now, here are three of the new designs that have done so well.

Featured with a Friend in Journal Modiste!

I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise!!! I have been featured in Journal Modiste (an online designer's magazine) for my Pink Lemonade set. To sweeten this feature even more, My dear friend, Gioncarla, is featured also. Could this be any nicer then to be recognized for ones work along side a good friend??? Be sure to check out Gioncarla"s Blog (link on the left) and her wonderful strawberry design.

Sweet Lemonade

I was invited to Guest Launch with a wonderful new and upcomming group of women for a Summer friends guest launch. I have loved getting to know the wonderfully tallented designers that were involved in this fun Launch.

The Theme was SUMMERTIME As I thought about my summer memories, a design formed in my mind with the thoughts of my wonderful summers as a Kid. I used to love to sit outside with a Icy cold glass of PINK LEMONADE. I would often hear a buzzing near by as a solitary bee would be searching the nearby flowers in his quest to find the source of the SUGARY SWEET LEMONADE smell. And what childhood memory of LEMONADE does not conjure up wonderful thoughts of lemonade stands and our first entrepreneural enterprises? So here is the completion of my imaginations!!!

Here it is Le Crque Set finally listed

I know I promised a preview, but I have already listed this set. I have been a very busy girl lately, with customs and a Wonderful Buying Trip to Cali with my daughters! I will post some pics of our trip, but for now, here is my Circus Set!
