What would you do if your friend copped off with the man you loved? Wouldn’t it break your heart? Abbie doesn’t ask much from life; contact lenses instead of glasses, maybe, a slimmer figure, and a bit of attention from the boys now and then would be nice.

My rebellion against mass production
June 19, 2008 by Leave a Comment
I came to Arizona four years ago to be with my family. I left behind a rather lucrative children’s fashion business back home and have now decided to start it up again.
My aim is to have EVERYTHING made in the USA – and NOTHING mass produced. A throw back to times of yore when women would actually make their own clothes.
I have a line of girl’s clothing up in production and boy’s fashions will be available by the end of the year.
My line of children’s fashions is all one of a kind. No two pieces are the same – be it a colour, trimming or pattern. I keep costs down because i employ home workers who work at their own pace and have the freedom of their own hours. This has proven to be surprisingly effective and much faster than i anticipated. Handmade clothes also have a certain cachet – you dont see another child in your child’s outfit!
I eventually hope to be able to employ more people especially stay at home moms. Support the cause – my prices are low as i want to dress kids and not fleece the moms!!!
