Happy New Year & Project Pink #1


Happy New Year, friends!!!
During our winter break, I took time to tackle some designs that have been on my drawing board.I have 3 pink projects. Today I share with you the first.
1) Ariel's Pink Dining Gown
This gown was one that I have been pondering for so long now. The question of design I had for this dress was the conflict between the long sleeves design and warm weather ( yes, I do run into designer dead ends :)
Since most of my customers wear their Ollie Girl! to the Happiest Place where the climates are mostly warm, I struggled with my decision.
But alas, I reconciled the problem! I designed the dress with short puffy sleeves and sewed REMOVEABLE matching sleeves which are sort of like arm warmers/faux long gloves.Of course the dress can be made with permanent long sleeves, but I LOVE options, so I am offering the design this way as well.
The pointed wrist hem is trimmed with white pearls, making them oh so Ariel!
This dress is perfect for your pink mermaid princess!
But wait... there's more ;)- This dress is also available in seafoam green like Ariel's Grotto dress for those mermaids who just can't stay away from oceanic tones.
Ariel's Pink Dining Gown belongs to the Calico Princess Collection and features the lines original peasant style. I would be happy to create this dress in a zipper back traditional dress style at your preference as well.
More photos will be available once this dress has been modeled.
Starfish pink pearls necklace, by Heart of the Ocean.




Another fun design I worked on in the beginning of the month was a Mary Poppins sheer under blouse to be worn underneath the Simply a Princess, Mary Poppins sundress. The underblouse is embellished with pretty lace and sequin detail on organza. The result was simply adorable and added another dimension to the versatility of the dress!

Season of Celebration

How did we end up here in December so quickly??
In this past month my son celebrated his 12th birthday, had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and then celebrated my dear husbands 37th birthday just last weekend.
It's been a whirlwind of celebrations, hugs, calories and sewing Ollie Girl customs every moment in between!
This weekend marks my dear husband and my 18th anniversary. We will be traveling to our favorite beachside destination and for the grand finale, Disneyland! I am so thankful for my beloved and what a wonderful relationship we have. God is so good.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and are able to squeeze in those little moments to celebrate... even a smile is worth a celebration, wouldn't you agree? :D

Sneak Peeks for 2010 and other news :)

It's hard to believe that the Holiday season for 2009 is already upon us!
Ollie Girl! Would like to wish all of you a very Jolly Holiday season.

Recently Ollie Girl! went along on a Disney Cruise with a few of our Ollie Girls.
I thought I'd share some fun photos from the shoots of a couple new designs, Simply a Princess, Lilo and a fun twist on Ariel with mermaidy details ;). I was excited to finally have Simply a Princess Ariel finally modeled on a cute little red head, Princess C.
All designs are available through Boutique Ollie Girl's website or Etsy. You can also contact me directly at angela@boutiqueolliegirl.com for orders and inquiries.

Welcome Fall and some Disney fun

So fall is upon us, and once again I was aching to see Disney in all it's fallish splendor. Well, my wish came true... a year long wish to be exact! Disney all year long as an early birthday present from my parents! (thanks mom and dad!)
Right in Thunder Ranch is the most fantabulous display of carved pumpkins and autumn photo ops. Disney hires professional pumpkin carvers to add daily to the pumpkin patch that happens to be full of "character" ;)
I am almost finished with my lump sum of fall customs! Whew! A big hug and thank you to all my faithful customers who keep me so busy. I really enjoy creating for all those cute little Ollie Girls out there. My next venture is to creates some new designs and then have a little time to relax during the holidays. For now, the last day to submit custom orders ready by early December is by this Thursday, October 15th. I may list some ready to ship items as I have the time thereafter if I have the time.
Well, it's back to the sewing studio for me! Thank you once again to all my Ollie Girl friends! May your fall be delightful and filled with lots of fun!

Where'd summer go??


It's that time of year again... back to school, early mornings and no more sleeping in :(
Well, as much as I enjoy the non stucturous summer itinerary, I do eventually crave a schedule. So here we are once again in that season.

I realize that there's been a HUGE gap in my postings. Apparently being caught up in the Facebook world I've managed to forget about my cute little blog... so here goes!

I have remained steadily busy ever since late winter. I am so thankful for my faithful customers who have kept me so busy. Halloween orders have been pouring in since early summer. The deadline to order for Halloween delivery is September 24th. I hope to accomodate as many customers as possible for this time. For timely delivery, please make sure to order your items no later than this date.

I will be accepting a limited amount of custom orders up until October 15th and for the rest of 2009. So if you have Christmas items in mind, they will need to be ordered by that date in order to be filled for early December delivery. I will be taking the rest of 2009 to finish up existing orders and dream up new designs. I hope to work with you to create your princess her special customs you have in mind. Please feel free to contact me anytime.

One last thing I would like to share with you all is a sweet new "princess" we have added to the Simply a Princess© line set to debut in late winter 2010. Ollie Girl is proud to introduce "Mini Mary Poppins".
It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary.... wouldn't you agree?!! A big thank you to Emily of Veralana Photography and little Miss A, who both did a fabulous job showcasing my newest creation!


Hugz, Angela
