Loving My Customers!

As a merchant who sells a product, I have my doors open daily and I wait for the people to come. Like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams the saying "Build it and they will come"... I sew it and hope they love it!

I love my customers. They are so lovely, fun, crazy, energetic, gentle... I get the whole gamut. That is what makes my job fun and interesting. The personalities are so varied and interesting. Even more fun are their kids!

I make the clothing for children. Who can be more fun than a child? I love when I receive photos of your kids in my clothes! It is such a precious treat! It is why I do it. They look so cute and they inspire me. The best part is that my clothing is not mass produced. It is as custom as it gets! This is a photo I received... I was again very happy!

Or they may have seen me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lexington-KY/CRADLE-WILL-ROCK/216763549279

which means they would have either been lead to my store or to my etsy page.

Time for Summer Camp!

Summer is officially here.

For kids around the country, school is out by now. Some have even started Summer School for those schools who are offering it! I hear many schools just don't have the budget for it! This is such a shame.

Kids may think summer school is for the birds.

Some boys and girls are happy to hear there is no summer school.
For those of you who work and are now dealing with your children being at home ... alone... Summer Camp can be a great babysitter.

Weekend Wrap Up!

Weekends don't last long enough do they?

Email is a fun thing. You get something from someone, you open it up and then you lose yourself in the abyss called the internet. I was sent something by a friend. I thought well, that is cute. So here is what she sent me.


I found out all about Hot Browns. So you don't have to look up Wikipedia and fall into the abyss, I will tell you all that I read. Apparently the Hot Brown was originally created in Louisville, KY at the Brown Hotel in 1926.


Thanks to Fred K Schmidt we all get to enjoy that madness. It was created to serve as an alternative to a late night supper of ham and eggs.

It has been featured by TV Chef, Bobby Flay. It is sometimes called the Louisville Hot Brown or the Hot and Bubbly Brown. They even used to do a Cold Brown. I suppose when you visit Kentucky, you have to try a Hot Brown... just to say you did! And of course, you will love it!

Ever heard of a Hot Brown?

Family!!! I am awake and hungry for breakfast. Wake up so we can go to breakfast at Ramsey's Diner!



Everyone says that I HAVE to try the Hot Brown. With hubby in town, I think we are all going to have breakfast! I finally get to experience the well talked about Hot Brown!


What is a Hot Brown? I am told it's about 1 pound of cheese, covering a white gravy, and garnished with bacon. It also has a tomato, turkey, ham and bread, but really, that stuff is irrelevant under all that cheese. The cheese was all melted, because it was, in fact, hot. But the bacon garnish hardly counts as brown.

Turkey is not brown, ham is not brown, tomato is not brown, the bread could be brown? I am told they don't use wheat bread? So where is the brown?

I hear it is very tasty. I mean the 'I Cannot Believe It's This Good' Good! Every artery in your body will be slammed shut, I hear its enough to cause one to suffer a mild stroke just looking at it! Wow I can't wait to try it!

I hear you should wash it down with some fine sweet-tea or maybe a cup of coffee to keep your heart pumping, and they have really fast and friendly service. I wonder where the brown is? I hope to find out this morning!



If there are no more posts after this, you will know that I got to go to breakfast with my family. You will know I experienced the Hot Brown and you will know I have succumb. Maybe heart stopping good. See ya on the other side!

Fashion Show FoSho!

The Fashion show at the beginning of the month was a hit. I have been sent a few more photos that I thought I would share!



I love this pretty lady's ink by the way!
