Springtime Sabbatical

Escape to the Sea!


And that is exactly what we did!

Well Spring is officially here! Time for renewal and rebirth and of course... spring cleaning!
Well, for our family this past Easter vacation week we decided to get away for a few days to clear our minds and just spend time together with no distractions.
For those of you who do not know, we were expecting our 4Th child, however it just wasn't in God's plan and I miscarried.
My husband decided it would be a good time to take us away to our favorite family get-away, Carpinteria, a quaint little beach town located just below Santa Barbara.
It was a fabulous time of refreshment. We made a lot of good memories to take home forever in our hearts.

I just had to share some of our pictures.
We managed to do a lot in the time we had ;0)
We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanical Gardens, road the train, went to the Ty Warner Sea Museum and spent time trekking the Santa Barbara Fisherman's Wharf
( I even got to have my bowl of Clam Chowder and Sour Dough bread... yum!) I came back ultra recharged with a sense of thanksgiving for my family. I realized that I am so blessed and experienced a renewed excitement for life & business.
Thanks for visiting ;0) Blessings, Angela

My husband (and BFF ;0) and I

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Well good day to you all! As we are all going about our festivities this weekend, I thought I'd add a song of worship to our risen Savior here on my blog ( I hope you love it as much as I do!), and share a beautiful photo of Rylie as Sleeping Beauty that we just received from Cari of Cari Lyn Photography. Isn't she adorable?!!!
We are taking pre orders for Sleeping Beauty and be launching some fabulous listings mid to late April. We will keep you posted! Until then, I am busy designing a special Princess gown, which I will get to share with you soon ;0)
I hope and pray you all have a beautiful time celebrating this weekend with your loved ones and friends.

Busy as a Bee with customs... have a Tangelo!

While I have been quite busy with custom orders, I felt I shouldn't neglect my blog here. Today I am sharing, not my creation but God's ;)
This is one of the yummy trees that we have growing in our small organic citrus grove. It is a Tangelo tree.
While I am convinced it is a hybrid of a tangerine and orange, scientifically it is a cross between a Tangerine and Grapefruit ;0).
I hope to share with you soon a couple fabulous princess gowns I am designing for a couple customers. Stay tuned, have a blessed day & thank you for reading!

One of our newest Princess Designs is here!

We are so excited about our new Aurora design!
This little number has been updated with short sleeves and a fun Sleeping Beauty styled peplum! The back of the dress ties sweetly into a bow with an attached sash fitting the gown perfectly!
Now, this dress is on it's way to our newest Ollie Girl! Rylie to be modeled, but until then, we must be content with our hanger :)
This beautiful ensemble includes the Sleeping Beauty Dress and an appliqued gold crown comb. This gown is now available at our website boutiqueolliegirl.com. If you are interested, please contact us through our website and we will be happy to answer your questions or create this beautiful set for your "princess"!
