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.









Beautiful photography provided by the talented Emily and adorable models :) of Vera*Lana Photography!

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!

Flight of Fairies, Ollie Girl's Pixie Hollow ;0)

I was delighted to receive such gorgeous images from my models who came together for a group shoot to showcase our newest fairies for the My Fairy Friends Collection.
I was anxious to have these up prior to the fall to make sure we had our fairy bases covered ;0)
Each fairy's design has detailing unique to each character. Wings, pixie shoes and wands are available additionally as matching accessories and not included with the dresses.

All fairies are available for order. Please contact me at angela@boutiqueolliegirl.com for questions and orders. Currently turnaround time is about 8 weeks, making it an ideal time to start ordering those Halloween and fall customs. I would like to serve as many of you as possible. I look forward to working with you!

Kool- Aid Snow Cones

Every summer, my kids pull out the snow cone maker (if it made it through the prior summer) and are ready for their cool summer treats.
We couldn't seem to find a store that sold the traditional syrup we normally purchased in the summers past. So I had this earth shattering idea to use those Kool-Aid packets I used to love as a kid.
The result.... a totally new addiction! The syrups we concocted were simply delicious and taste so much better than store-bought.
The recipe is simple. One cup sugar, one cup water, one Kool-Aid packet..... That's it! We stored ours in platic water bottles and have quite the assortment for whatever flavor you happen to be in the mood for!
Now how you achieve your snow will be up to your own creativity. We have a small ice shaver machine but a regular blender set to the highest speed setting should work well. I don't recommend the Snoopy Snow cone machine, unless you want a melted snow cone;0)
Enjoy!

Going on my jolly holiday :0)

I will be MIA from June 14th - June 20th. I am headed out on a much needed vacation to the beach...ahhhhhh! Any orders placed through my Etsy store or website will be attended to when I return. If you email me, please know that I will contact you as soon as I return.
So before I bid you all bon voyage,I thought I'd share a few photos of Cinderella from Simply a Princess line as well as My Fairy Friends, Silvermist preview...modeled pictures will be coming soon! Rosetta will debut shortly after. I had a nice influx of orders that needed attending to before I left for vacation that put my fairies on hold a bit ;0)
So have a great week everyone! While I am excited to have a break for a week you can be sure that I'll have my sketch book in tow while dreaming up new designs!

Every girl is a princess... right?

It's true what they say... every girl is a princess... including Alice!
I had this almost finished quite a while back when I was encouraged by one of my wonderful Ollie Girl customers to add Alice to the arsenal of the Simply a Princess© Collection. Of course there are plenty of others to add, and I will get to them as I have the time.
It's been a busy season preparing for everyone's trips to Disney, birthday parties and what not. You all know that I love it though! Even though I have sewn atleast 50 Snow White gowns, I can almost do it in my sleep now! ;0)
Even though we are just getting our toes wet with summer, I find myself looking forward to the fall season ahead. I have many designs I am hoping to debut and new renditions on my drawing board.

I am encouraging my customers and potential clients to think early for fall so I can have customs out to you by late September for you to enjoy it throughout the entire fall festivities.
I look forward to working with you all and appreciate your encouragement and friendship. Hugz, Angela
