It's Offical - We're Made in America!

I had blogged about ABC's Made in America segment in an earlier post .  Now I am proud to say that we have been added to their list of "Made in America" Companies.

On a side note - we will be having a National Sales Meeting here at headquarters on July 12 & 13th....I only have a few weeks to get samples and everything ready...

A Princess in the Making

I was over at my sister's house for my nephew's 2nd birthday party and we had a quick impromptu photo shoot for a new tutu dress that is being offered in our Fall '11 Catalog...
Enjoy ~

Made in America Products

So a few of my friends make fun of me for my "green" and "USA made" mind I have.  For me, it is my lively hood - my work.  I have found that American vendors, who we work with, in the past couple of years are slowing shutting down without any warning at all.  I need hard working Americans like yourself to buy clothes from our hard working American Factory ...otherwise I guess I will be out of a job and in the fields working with my Dad on the farm.  I am not joking.

One American made factory I would love to feature is: Tervis Tumblers.  I use these cups everyday and they are proudly made in Venice, FL.  Not only do they keep your drinks hot or cold, but they are virtually indestructible and they are the perfect travel cup!   When we got married a couple of years ago, this was one of our gifts to our wedding party, personalized cups.  See in the picture below

ABC News is doing a segment about Made in the America products. Check out this link http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/ and read all the different articles and such. 

This is really interesting - do a scan of your house...how many things in your house are actually Made in America??

Dillards - Hop into Spring 2011

Are you absolutely digging our Spring 2011 Fashion line??  That's what I thought...you can get some of our latest fashions at Dillards Department stores.  If you are like me, Dillards is a bit up the road ... please check out the convenience of online shopping at http://www.dillards.com/   You can either search "Laura Dare" or go to the children's section under "Sleepwear" or "Tutu Cute" to find any of our Spring fashions.

I recently did a field trip to our local Dillards in Houston and was pleasantly surprised to see a great center display of our tutu's in the middle of the children's wear.   I should have taken the picture after I rearranged and prettied up the display..oh well.. note to self :)
