If you follow me on facebook then you may have noticed I’m a big fan of CourtneyCourtney, (otherwise known as a simple CC) her items are all VERY original! VERY! There is not a single CC item that is reproduced! But that’s another post.

This post is about the durability and craftsmanship of each CC item. I thought for sure Leighton was going to ruin her newest CC dress when we were outside for a mini shoot. Now that she is walking there is not stopping where she goes. She LOVES being outdoors and doesn’t walk but RUNS when we get out there.

AND attempts to climb things…. VERY dirty things. :-D 

BUT WHO CARES!!! We’re having fun! Notice the dirt covering the front…

Getting her CC nice and dirty, really testing the durability!

This is how Leighton pays assistants.

Okay enough SUPER cuteness from my DD, back to the point… all CC ends are served for durability! I love this! My mom taught me that, “Serging is important in durability; make sure you get what you’re paying for!” Well, I’m sure from the photos above you can see that we have given our latest and greatest CC dress a good durable test! I like how Courtney makes sure to have all the seams align. And they align so perfectly!!! Another thing my mom taught me about good, quality craftsmanship.

So THANK YOU Courtney for making such beautiful, durable clothes for sweet little girls!!!
WE LOVE COURTNEYCOURTNEY!!!! and we LOVE the new ruffles!

It’s no secret that I LOVE ZozoBugBaby clothing and TinkerDot Designs!

Leighton’s closet is full of Zozo Clothing which is “Zozo” fabulous and my house is decorated in TinkerDot canvases & prints!

And the two of them together!?!?!? FANTASTIC!!!!

Add in a little tiny Leighton, a cherry orchard filled with dandelions and a very fast working photographer momma because we were about to get rained on…*phew*….you get THIS!

She was clapping here! haha She has her own original clap.

The canvas says “YOU’RE AS BIG AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!” and it couldn’t be more perfect for Itty Bitty Leighton who thinks she is She-ra!

It was windy right before it rained, so the fabric flower is blowing, it doesn’t normally sit like that.

OH I SO LOVE the canvas in the dandelions!

Wondering where the headband came from? Bella’s Bowtique on Etsy! LOVE Bella’s! I buy majority of Leighton’s headbands there!

The fabric flowers on the TinkerDot canvas match the fabric in the ZozoBugBaby dress! ADORABLE huh?

These are two completely NEW items from both artist! Leighton and I are feeling pretty blessed that we were asked to show off these new items!

They are not only amazing artist and designers but amazing women too! Thank you Julie and Jenni for letting us in on your fun collaboration!

As some of you already know, I am a BIG fan of NuxieMade’s amazing hats!  They are all hand crotched and she offers a ton of different styles (beanies, newsboys, apple caps, cloche and other hats) from newborn to adult. Nux offers a large variety of awesome colors! You can place custom orders too. Leighton was (thank you Nux!) asked to model an ADORABLE new Flower Headband! Maybe I’m biased but I think she looks pretty cute!

*She is the happiest girl outside. A true outdoors-girl!

*Her “stink-eye” look…. darling isn’t it?

*I added a delicious summer haze to this photo! Love it!

LOVE this headband & LOVE NuxieMade!

You can find more of her awesome hats, headbands, clips and clothes at www.NuxieMade.etsy.com Right now she is having a “SPRING SALE” of 10% off all orders until May 5th! Happy shopping and happy Spring!
