inspiration: daydream believer...

Posted by Aeolidia

[caption id="attachment_260" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Purchase this image ("looking for love") here."][/caption] Close your eyes. What do you see? My daydreams are filled with foreign places-- real and imagined-- hazy sunsets, sheer curtains caught in a breeze, twinkling lights and mossy oaks... The fairies mingle freely with children who dance and sing around a ribboned May pole... unicorns run wild with stallions down a blinding beach... Ahhhh... The W.D. Wolf daydream line is light, soft and subtly sweet. Fine cotton, bits of lace, chiffon and fabric ribbons evoke a magical feeling your wee ones can carry with them. How do you like the labels created for the daydream line? And what about the images below? Eye Poetry Photography has so many amazing pictures I couldn't decide which to post. 8x10's are $30. I'd love a series framed in a row.

inspiration: picnic

Oh, how I love a picnic! And few things are as American as a casual meal in the great outdoors. The W.D. Wolf picnic line was inspired by beachside BBQs, fireflies in a jar, gingham tablecloths, embroidered blankets and American flags... We've taken your very favorite childhood memories and turned them into clothes- traditional ideas updated for modern times with subtle embroidery and timeless fabrics. Last year, Eat Drink Chic created this printable picnic invitation (left) that screams spring and summer to me. Head over there, print it out and invite your loved ones to eat and play with you! A picnic doesn't require a special holiday or a lot of planning- so get out there and start making new memories with your little ones. What do you think of our labels? These were specifically made for W.D. Wolf picnic & will help differentiate the line from the daydream collection...  Samples are in production, so pictures are coming soon... And while you're dreaming of picnics, check out this suitcase transformation via funkytime... And this amazing picnic tote we discovered in House Beautiful April 2012 (and then re-discovered here).

And the winner is...

Well, before we get to that... Here is a little peek at what the winner will win! There will be 2 color options from which to choose- each as summery as a picnic in the park. Which do you like better? Now, a note about how we picked a winner (so you guys can rest assured it's on the up & up). We used a facebook app called Easy Promos that kept track of each entry. It also recorded the number of friends each entrant "invited" and who "shared" on their wall. The generated information was exported into an Excel file where entrants were organized into a neat, numbered list. Using random.org we entered the total number of entrants and "rolled the dice" so to speak. Out popped a random number which corresponds with one of our promo entrants! And the lucky number is: 13!!! So who, is the lucky number 13?? Tammy Priddy! Congrats!!! You will be the recipient of our very first romper (to ship out in early April). Now, for the twist (every exciting contest has a twist!)... We've chosen ANOTHER winner! As a very special thank you to the fan who invited the most friends to participate, we are awarding a second romper... And the winner is?? Courtney Hiern! Thanks, Courtney for being a super fan! Your playsuit will ship out with the rest of our pre-orders, so expect delivery sometime in May. Thank you to everyone who participated. It was fun, but it was just the beginning. Very soon we'll be launching an even bigger, even better giveaway... We're trying to spread the word about W.D. Wolf, so help us by inviting your friends... Stay tuned for our upcoming promotion- how about a GIVEAWAY EACH DAY for an entire month? How does that sound?

pantone's juicy color of the year

Posted by

This lovely color: a tangerine-tomato hybrid (with an orange highlighter thrown in for pizazz) has the potential to overwhelm a tiny frame-  but used sparingly with more muted tones, it becomes positively delicious! Just picture your little one, bronzed shouldered and bare-footed, running down the beach in a sand colored dress, bursts of juicy color accenting her flushed cheeks... Pure summer sweetness (although this color will likely follow us into fall as well). Check out designmom today to see a pantone color book for children! So adorable for the design enthusiast to be.
