See us at Imagine Salon & Boutique!!

So, I haven't told you that Peppermint Rainbows has select items from our online catalog in a local shop, Imagine Salon & Boutique. We met Melissa and Macon a few months ago when we dropped off our Christmas inventory. We had such a great response, that they asked for Valentine's Day items to help promote their annual Champagne Spa Package weekend. This relationship is going so well!! I am so excited that they keep asking for inventory. This keeps me on my toes; creating cute and fun items with the embroidery machine is so fun!

Today, I took Imagine some of the Spirograph collection, as well as these adorable Party Hat Applique' T-shirts for boys and girls. These shirts can be personalized in so many ways!! Choose from the 3 colors that I've sampled, or, choose 3 colors of your own to coordinate with your son's or daughter's birthday party. You can even opt to add a name or a birthday phrase to the design.

New and Improved Website

For the last 4 months or so, between sewing, blogging, working and parenting, I have been working on a new website and template. The new site has a shopping cart, FINALLY!!! Check out peppermintrainbows.com and send in some feed back. I would love to feature all my customers in the Gallery, so send me any pictures you have of your children and grandchildren wearing their Peppermint Rainbows originals. Thanks for all your support these past 4 years!!

Spirograph Collection

I have worn myself out over this new collection! I hope you all enjoy the results. The Spirograph Collection has been brewing in the sewing room for a few weeks, and is now ready to release. Orange, yellow, green and turquoise Spirograph designs and polka dots evoke the feeling that Spring is sure to come. In the meantime, we're pairing it with turquoise 21 wale corduroy.

Olivia has already tested her long sleeved "Olivia Tunic" and Ruffle Pants, and she's given them 2 thumbs up! This is big, if you know much about the Picky Princess. She has many many hurdles that I have to "jump" in the sewing room to meet her OCD enhanced standards. What this all means is that these outfits are COMFORTABLE!!! This corduroy is VERY soft and there is PLENTY of room to run, jump, play and sing in the tunic and pants.

I have also made the Swing Top and Ruffle Pants for Blair, and added a new applique' to the top to bring it all together. This Swing Top in the turquoise corduroy would also be adorable for toddlers wearing Spirograph Pantaloons! That's the fun of Peppermint Rainbows. You, the Customer, gets to pick and choose the items and embellishments which will create YOUR custom outfit!

Finally, I tested the Jumper Dress in the Spirograph fabric and added both turquoise and orange with yellow dot ribbons to accent. PERFECT!! This makes me wish the groundhog hadn't seen his shadow today!! This little Jumper Dress already has me dreaming of the warm, sunny days of Spring. For now, pair it with a white turtleneck and tights, and soon you'll be trading those in for sandals.
