kids with style!

punkin by designer Katie Tabor (Crescent Valley, BC)
(http://www.punkin.ca/) is "smart indie fashion for babies & kids. the very
heart & soul of punkin is creating looks that express the
confidence, strength & spirit of children.
sweet, edgy style, made with xo.
all design and sewing for this line is done in
Katie's home based studio."

these hats are hand made, sizes from 0-6mos up to 4-5yrs
they are so seriously cute, and very well made!
* custom orders available -- see website *

Katie is one of the many talented local designers we have the
pleasure of doing business with. we are linked as self-employed entrepreneurs,
as women in business, and as friends!

she connected us with another local
businesswoman, Alison Watt (http://www.bragphotography.ca/), whose
brilliant photography is featured in this post. we all happen to be clients of the local
Community Futures program too!

if for some reason You, the reader, and i have never had a
conversation before, i say the word networking at least once a day,
probably more. (this is michelle, in case you couldn't tell.)
our business has grown through some serendipitous networking
over the past 3+ years . . . it feels
like a huge family tree!! (sappy, i know) (groan...)

cute Koots kids huh?
some of these photos were taken in our alley -- Herridge Lane.
it has a colorful mural wall on one side and
brick wall + a green door on the other so it's a great backdrop.

Ali and Katie (Kate&Ali?) were amazing wrangling
these little ones in what might have been the
fastest photo shoot ever!
yet another bonus of MoMs in business!

ok! i blog too long.
i'm new at it so it takes me forever to do anything too complicated.
hip hip hooray for the END OF NOVEMBER!!!
it's been a tough month brothers and sisters,
let us rejoice and be Mary.
i mean, merry.
