Bitter Sweet

She's a baby but not a baby.


I'm holding on tight but excited for the future. Because my love grows for her more every day and if it's this good today...



I can't wait to see what she can do to my heart tomorrow.



Our favorite boutique, where I purchase a lot of Ivy's cute outfits and flower headbands, is coming to a close. Over the years I've become friends with Jennifer, the owner, and while I'll miss the shopping and delicious dresses, I'm hoping for bigger and better things to come for her and her family.


Starting this Wednesday, Butterfly Kisses will be buy 1 get 1 free or 40% off. Prices are also dramatically reduced in the online store here.

[I bought Ivy's Misha Lulu dress there, her shoes were purchased from Gracious May on etsy.]

She's so beautiful, and I love, love that dress.
I had no idea she was closing! I was just in there Saturday and bought the prettiest dress.

Oh, I absolutely love her stuff, I hope it isn't because of the economy. She has WONDERFUL items. Wish I lived closer so I could peruse, myself. Am going to check out her online store again now.

What an adorable little Ivy!!! She is always dressed so cute and now I know your secret. :) I am checking out Butterfly Kisses right now.

Sharon said...

I'm so glad you mentioned the shoes, because all the while I was thinking "those shoes are too cute!".

I can't believe you're sweet baby girl is already on the move. Time flies! Does it give you baby fever again?

Oh steph! Look at her, what a doll.

I just bought a really cute outfit for a baby shower at Butterfly Kisses! Jennifer's mom picked it out. It was the easiest shopping I've ever done. I was planning to go there next time I needed a baby gift. That's too bad.

As the Mommy of a 21 month old little girl all I have to say is that it does get better and better and better :)

Off to check out Butterfly Kisses now... I do most of my shopping at the spring and fall hugemongus consignment sale... but sometimes it's nice to find Sugar something brand-brand-new to wear!

I think ballet or something is in her future -- look at those perfectly pointed toes!

Heather said...

That is one well-dressed baby you have!

Kristin said...

OMG def. LOVE their stuff!

Andrea said...

Cute, cute, cute...love that cheeky grin in the last photo! :)

That girl. That GIRL! She knows how to work a camera doesn't she? I love the wrinkly nose smile. The dress is so cute that it seriously tempts me to click on the link to the store, but I don't think I can fit one more garment into Alice's closet. Really.

Tracy said...

I always love Ivy's otufits. I'll have to check out the site. Thanks!

corrin said...

Mommy In Pink said...

Not Just Any Jen said...

Ohhh, love that Misha Lu, so cute!

melissa said...

she is so stinking cute!!!

Not Just Any Jen said...

Coming back to say that these are really some great shots of her. You are doing well with that new camera you got there. I am so glad you got that dress. I remember drolling over it, 'cept I didn't recognize it at first. Is Ivy wearing a bib?

Stephanie said...

She is seriously so sweet, Steph.

And she is always dressed so stylishly too...but not the "big box" brand name kind of style...she wears breathtaking, one-of-a-kind, handmade styles (and that is even better).

Those shoes are just the sweetest!
