Sending smocked and classic clothing out gives us a thrill. Why? Because we know soon some lucky darling will be wearing these wonderful clothes. If there was a special event planned, we'd like to imagine the outfit would add a little extra something to it. We can only guess what happens once the package goes out. Were there compliments given? Were pictures taken that will be treasured for years to come?
Every once in a while we get a little glimpse into what actually happens. We are always interested, probably because there usually is some fun story and pictures that are offered up. Sometimes, the customer even gives us permission to mention it in our blog...
Recently, we were contacted by an Army wife stationed in Italy. She had found the Jeanine Johnsen flag dress on our website and thought it was perfect for her husband's upcoming commissioning ceremony. Their daughter was to be a part of the ceremony and her father was being promoted to Lt. Colonel. And she was kind enough to allow us to post the pictures - congratulations and best wishes to the whole family!
As the July 4th holiday approaches, it is nice to be reminded of the many brave men and women who fight for our country. My brother safely returned from a tour in Afghanistan and Iraq and we fly our American flag with pride for all our servicemen.
You can expect some sort of July 4th themed clothing at Maison de Belles Choses year after year. I enjoy seeing children in smocked flag dresses or, for example, the appliqued truck with stars by Funtasia. I have been very pleased with the July 4th series of bathing suits from Bailey Boys as well.
