A mother’s greatest expression of love is her children.  And with the universal symbol of love being the heart, I wanted to cover everything in sight with hearts, including Anya Larre.  With our Valentine’s Day decor mysteriously missing (must be that mischievious ghost again!) I went to work creating visions of love for my family, home and friends, plus a couple new products for our website.  

Frilly Heart Tee – $32 – Available on our website and at Cupcake.

Bling Heart Snap Clip – $5 – available online.

Homemade Valentines – Heart Shaped Crayons

Shabby Chic Heart Ribbon Wreath

Monogrammed Frilly Hanging Hearts – one for each member of the family.

Shabby Chic Love Banner

We hope your day is filled with love and happiness!

We are so excited to present the newest additions to our product line: party hats and bibs personalized with the birthday girl’s initial or age. 

Not any old paper party hat will do for the special birthday girl in your life.  Our party hat is carefully constructed with durability in mind and finished inside and out with darling cupcake fabric and a coordinating “sprinkles” print on the reverse.  Applique is done in soft pink minky, giving it more dimension.  No more painful elastic with this party hat.  Soft ribbon makes this hat comfortable and adjustable while the pretty frills make it unique and oh so girly!  Personalize with birthday girl’s age or initial for use year after year.  Makes a wonderful keepsake and coordinates perfectly with our Cupcake Birthday tee. 

Complete her ensemble with our sweet Cupcake bib.  Lined with ultra soft pink minky and appliqued with either baby’s age or initial for everyday use.  Bib attaches comfortably and securely with sewn-in velcro. 

Available here in our store or at Cupcake on 4th Street in Santa Rosa.

Boys, don’t fret…we have something special planned for you too.  Stay tuned!

Please excuse our mess as we work to improve the overall look of our blog.  Our new layout will make it much easier to read and therefore enjoy.  We are unsure exactly how long it will be until our tranformation but we are working with a very talented team who is in high demand.  We are just waiting patiently in line for our turn.  Thank you for following us despite our appearance…you are a true fan and friend! 

Recently, we teamed up with Fosnight Fotography to photograph our new models for our website.  We are thrilled to share such fabulous pictures of our darling dudes and fashionistas!  To view our latest designs and learn more about these adorable tots, be sure to check out our Meet the Models page.  A HUGE thank you to photographer, Brooke Fosnight, for her vibrant photography and to all of our models (moms and dads too!) for taking part in this fun weekend!

Hand beaded velvet plum flower hat made to match Jean Bourget Fall 2009 Collection.

Fall is in the air and I love it!  It is my absolute favorite season: the leaves change, the days are cooler and there is a certain magic in the air.  As if that isn’t enough excitement, Fall also means new clothing and this year’s children’s boutique lines are simply fabulous!

Jenny, the ultra-hip owner of the posh Santa Rosa boutique, Cupcake, has amazing taste and has selected the most gorgeous clothing for our trendy tots this Fall season.   Rich hues of plum, chocolate, raspberry, black, moss green, navy, and scarlet dominate the girl’s color palette.   Every season Jenny and I get together and coordinate accessories for the new lines.  We have such a great time as we excitedly run around the store pairing flowers and hats with the new lines. 

Miss Anya Larre and I just dropped off our first delivery of  gorgeous blooming 2-in-1 crochet hats to perfectly match the Jean Bourget, Mimi and Maggie and Luna Luna Copenhagen Fall lines to name a few.  Anya Larre hats take the guesswork out of accessorizing your little one’s designer duds.  And because we stick to the season’s color palette they will go with a variety of outfits.

Velvet Plum 2-in-1 Crochet Hat - simply cinch the ribbon and voila...your fashionista has an adorable wristlet.

Our hats are also two accessories in one.  Your little fashionista has the option of wearing as a hat or carrying as a perfectly sized little purse.  Talk about ”flower power”!  Be sure to pop into Cupcake on 4th Street in Santa Rosa to check out the new Fall lines and don’t forget to accessorize! 

Turquoise and pink crochet hat perfectly coordinates with the Mimi & Maggie Fall 2009 Collection. Navy crochet hat made to match Luna Luna Copenhagen collection.

Cupcake, located on 4th Street in Santa Rosa, is every boutique connoisseur’s idea of heaven!  Every surface beholds a unique treasure awaiting your discovery in this very posh and neatly organized local shop.  The “Cupcakes” as they call themselves (too cute!) are as sweet as the treat they are named after, greeting you warmly and offering suggestions whenever needed.  This is such a special place!  I feel so honored to have my line carried in this first-class boutique for more than a year now. 

I just made another delivery of our Hydrangea Non-Slip Clippies, handcrafted with dainty petals in shades of white and pink, that look as if they were just freshly picked, and accented with a sparkling crystal for a little extra glam.  One of our most popular sellers, they sell out quickly.  The week of June 8th our precious clippies made it to the #1 spot in Cupcake’s coveted Top 10 Baby Gifts Sold list.  So hurry in while supplies last!

Pssst: while there, take advantage of the fabulous sale going on now with savings between 30%-50% off.  It is the perfect time to enjoy some guilt-free shopping!

Enjoy!

It is every mama’s dream come true to adorn her baby girl with everything girly the moment she arrives.  After all, we had all those years of practicing with our baby dolls!  But, for many of us, when this moment of anticipation arrives , we suddenly find ourselves scurrying to find an infant accessory that is both worthy of our precious bundle’s tiny head and comfortable at the same time. 

Anya Larre infant headbands are the perfect choice for the newest princess on the block!  Made with comfort in mind, our bands are super soft and stretchy and do not leave any marks on baby’s adorable head.  Since a plain headband simply will not do for the pint-sized fashionista, we have adorned our bands with a tiny blossom for that perfect crowning touch.  Simple.  Comfortable.  Fabulous.  It is pure perfection!

Credits: Could this photo be any sweeter?  I mean, really!!!  Fab photographer and friend, Brooke Fosnight of Fosnight-Fotography is simply the best!  Isn’t our little nine day old model just gorgeous???  She is the perfect model for our pink infant hydrangea headband.
