a Photo shoot to dream about!


Calypso Cottage ~ A summer of dreams

It is almost here! The anticipation to post these dresses and to see this line come to life has had me very excited over the last few months! It's only a week away!

I am so overwhelmed and blessed to have so many wonderful mommies and little girls volunteer to help make this dream come to life!

Summer is all about playing, finding a beach...even if it is imagined in the woods! Surrounding your self with make believe and pretending you are the princess in the fairy tale story. School is out and it is time to let your mind free! Be the little girl you dream of being...no matter what age you are!

There were soooo many beautiful little girls, big sisters and mommies who came forward to be a part of this photo shoot! Who wouldn't though, with Sindi's magic lens, I can't wait to see what comes out of next Tuesday!
Really, I wish I could have each one of you participate...but I do not have enough time to create that many dresses in a week! And I have yet to accomplish imagining more TIME into reality!

I am very excite about a couple SURPRISES! One very special model will be joining us! Making a 31 Dresses dream come true! Time will reveal this secret!

I loved playing I SPY last fall with everyone and
thought I would try and pull a bit of that game out with this GIVEAWAY!!!
How fun! You found so many girls on bikes! I can't believe how many there were!

I only had this one in mind when I posted!The boutique girls on our garden bikes were favorites! I never even thought about all of the ones you might find!


Two of you found theses active little girls!
Here is the winning UNIQUE photo!
Only Hailey Chambliss found this photo...and she thought I was being sneaky! LOL...She was thorough in her search for girls on bikes and it paid off!!!


My cute Tillie Belle and her friend Cecilia showing off their Ruby Loop at church. Cute girls! If only I had adorable girls like all of our contestants (and a few little guys too=) to sit around in my boutique all day long showing off how cute they make Ruby Loop! LOL...those mannequin kids have nothing on these girls!

Hailey, you can contact Jennifer from Forty Toes and let her know that you won the tank from the Ruby Loop GIVEAWAY!!! Congrats!!!
