Baby A Snug-As-A-Bug

Oh Sweet Azalia...

Today was a very special day as one of Susan's dearest friends daughter, Azalia was baptized.

Azalia got her FIRST tutu by Miss Priss Tutus

...and some very special Bloomseez.

(we know Azalia's mom was secretly laughing over the zebra striped Bloomseez)

Too precious not to share...

As we head into the home stretch in preperation to release a new product with Miss Priss Tutus, we are fine tuning a few things. One is our press release that captures thoughts from our valued clients. This is from one of the first moms to receive a Binkeez blanket for her daughter. Alexa is now 9 and this brought a smile to us as we remembered part of this story but to learn that her Binkeez still lives on.



From one of our very first Binkeez recipients who is also a really cool and amazing lady, wife and mom - Michelle F of Boston, MA

Our daughter, Alexa, received her Binkeez blankie when she was born on July 3, 2001. Since then she has slept with the well loved Binkeez blankie every night.

When she was 3 we thought she lost the blanket. We back tracked the whole day, even to the point of looking in the trash at McDonald's. Needless to say we found it at home the next day inside the trunk of a toy car. There were a lot of tears when she thought she lost it. We even called Susan at home to see if they still had the same fabric to make a new one and overnight in the event the original Binkeez was truly lost.

Alexa is now 9 1/2 years old and still sleeps with what is left of the blankie as I saved a piece for when she is much older to give to her.

Just Arrived at the Heidi Hope Photography Studio in Rhode Island...

We are MOST excited that our exclusive Heidi Hope Photography Binkeez arrived at their destination in Rhode Island safely. Phhhewwww! More important was that Heidi was happy with them. We are excited to be working with Heidi and her studio again and that she trusted our Binkeez to be part of special gifts for their 2011 Baby Plan Clients

Did someone say sweet treat?

..tee hee. We have just added a WICKED GOOD sweet treat to our special project. No matter how young or how old, sometimes we all need a *snack* to inspire us or a that special smile :)

...to which ever path life takes you, always keep those close to you that got you to that path. Thank you mom for helping me get to mine!

Behind the Scenes Funny Moment...

This is too cute not to share. I was trying to teach my mom to release her inner fierceness in this picture. This picture was captured RIGHT after I had told my mom to "pop the leg and point the toe."

...and so she did!

With a heartful thanks to Michele of mQn Photography
for capturing this priceless moment.

As we welcome 2011..

...it only seems "fitting" that our first post of 2011 is to announce our collaboration and partnership with an amazing company in the Atlanta, Georgia area - Miss Priss Tutus.

Later this month, Bel Scriba and Miss Priss Tutus will be announcing a new product offering that has been in development for months. You ask hmmm...Binkeez blankets and Tutus??? You will see soon. We are just fine tuning a few but important details before we can share what we have been working so hard on.

We will be launching this product on Friday, January 21st, 2011 at Epiphany Children's Boutique (located in Northboro, MA) where something special will happen with MOST Special Edition Miss Priss Tutus. Stay tuned for more details.

We really can not say enough good things about the Miss Priss Tutus and Company. We are also loving all the Miss Priss Tutus hanging in our design studio right now and can first hand attest to their motto :

CAUTION: Tutus may cause uncontrollable spins and giggles.

The design and quality of the tutus are precious with such sweet details in each design and tutu. The customer service and turn around time - AMAZING. We have been most fortunate to get to know the creative force behind the tutus - a mom of two beautiful daughters, a wife and one heck of a good southern soul.

Take a peek below at her tutus for every occasion. You can find Miss Priss Tutus online at the following :

Today marked an important day...

..as the Trademark application was filed for a really cool product that came together with the collaboration of two companies. How lucky are we to have joined forces with an amazing company that has the same vision and energy as we do and most important is also about giving forward? Just a little peep into our project.

Bloomseez are now a standard ingredient in our Babeez Cakes...well for little girls that is :)

I love...

that I am SO my mother's daughter (heart smile)

Now, if I could only sew like her :P

Why we are smiling...

Right after this picture was taken, a very special batch of itsy bitsy binkeez was dropped off with the Gonzelaz Family. They will be giving these to the St. Francis NICU..because of Devin. This NICU cared for Devin like thier own during his many month stay.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness and
nothing is so gentle as true strength.
