In either blue or pink, personalization with the child&#8217;s birthdate is available.  Love it.  The girls and I painted a happy birthday plate for our family (we use it on the day of one of our family members&#8217; birthdays&#8230;it&#8217;s the &#8216;special plate&#8217;&#8230;makes for great fun.  We painted ours in the Dells at the water park however there are a ton of those DIY pottery places around these days).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.everythingbuttheprincess.com\/images\/silverdresslarge.JPG\" align=\"right\" height=\"349\" width=\"230\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am in awe of this beautiful silk dress by meli meli.  Just in awe.  I mean, it is drop dead gorgeous.  On the meli meli site it shows in silver, pink and gold but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everythingbuttheprincess.com\/catalog.php?item=1196&amp;catid=100&amp;ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D100\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here, at Everything But the Princess<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>it shows as pink and silver.  No matter, at $248 it&#8217;s definitely Special Occasion worthy.  It&#8217;s a shame this brand tends to run a size too small because I&#8217;d love to have these for the girls.  Isn&#8217;t it beautiful??<\/p>\n<p>Meli meli has a lovely washable silk line this upcoming fall season, somewhat Euro vintage&#8230;  I have to say (again) I am just in love with this gorgeousness&#8230;just in love with the elegant frilliness of their &#8216;frocks&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wesandwilly.com\/customer\/WandW\/the_clothing\/top\/product_files\/right_files\/rightScroll_files\/lg_images\/Y521_LG.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"199\" width=\"248\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For moms of boys, I so don&#8217;t want to neglect you.  To counter the frilliness of my previous paragraph&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wesandwilly.com\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wes and Willy<\/a> is a fantastic line of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wesandwilly.com\/Customer\/WandW\/locations\/locator.cfm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">boutique<\/a> clothing for boys.  Love their guitar motifed line.  Who said flannels were out?  I think they&#8217;re making a casual reappearance&#8230;sleeve by sleeve.  There&#8217;s a lot more there.<\/p>\n<p>I also have it on good authority the Wes and Willy line is well made and can withstand the rigors of boyhood.  Keep this in mind when Back 2 School shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s not shopping related, I dig this site, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.enchantedlearning.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Enchanted Learning<\/a> is filled with tons of activities for the K-8 set.  It&#8217;s a subscriber only site, but well worth the $20\/year subscription.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting ready for the next Q&amp;A with a fellow paperholic!!
