Happy Halloween!

Last weekend Stony Point Fashion Park hosted a Doggie Halloween Parade for all the adorable local pups to show off their costumes.  I just love that Stony Point is dog friendly and pups are allowed in all the stores!  They even have water stations throughout the mall for them.  Leonard and Lucile had a wonderful time and although they did not have a costume, we all dressed in Halloween colors and enjoyed the show.  Mac refused to color coordinate with us Ha Ha! 


There were some interesting dog/owener costumes.  People were very creative.



 And very cute doggies costumes as well.





Leonard and Lucile made a lot of new friends





And we all had a wonderful time!  What did you all do for Halloween weekend?

First Holiday Market

After hours of setting up, my booth was finally complete.  I'd never had a booth for my line before so I definitely learned a lot and there was a lot of trial and error.

It was chilly outside so I sported the Nicole with Jeans and boots.

Tah Dah my first booth

The Madee displayed 

I was soooo glad that I brought my summer dresses as well.  Who knew people would be interested in ordering for summer?


Fall Collection
Madee's Market was a wonderful experience and I am excited for many more shows to come.  My next show will be at The Holiday Boutique at Westwood Club in Richmond on November 29th hosted by the Junior League.  If you live locally we'd love to see you.  The event is open to all!

Dancing In The Rain

Friday night of Madee's market was full of energy, excitement, and was very emotional as well.  A preview party was  held and during the party "Dancing In The Rain" was unveiled.  Unbeknown to me, Madee had a Bucket List and the very last item on her list was for her family to publish the book she had written during the course of her fight with cancer.   I am so excited to read it and was so touched by the evening.


The Sign beside her book was inspiring and is truly a message I took home!


Mac and I had the most wonderful evening with Madee's family, old friends, and the community of Staunton.  From my days of working in hospice I learned that the people who truly live and see life for what it is are those who are facing the realization that life will one day end.   Thanks for reminding me of the important message to "Dance In The Rain."

Madee's Market

I had such a wonderful time last weekend being a part of Madee's Market, spending time with a dear dear old friend, and selling dresses :)  The weekend far surpassed my expectations and I so enjoyed being back in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  They are one of my favorite places.



I am so excited to blog all about the weekend soon.  This week I am busy filling orders :)

Madee's Holiday Dress

The Madee~Holiday Dress is ready just in the nick of time for Madee's Market this weekend!  I am soooo excited to debut this dress in honor of Madee and to participate in such a wonderful event just a day away!  This Tartan dress will definitely bring out your Holiday Spirit this Winter Season.

Don't You Just Love The Holidays

Abby's Suit

I am so excited to have added a darling suit to my fall collection.   The Jacket and Skirt would look precious together or independently!  Abby's suit is named after Madee's sister in honor of Madee's Holiday Market next weekend!

Abby's Suit Jacket

Abby's suit skirt which is modeled after The Brooke. It would also be so cute in silks to wear to holiday events.

One Fabric Option for Abby's suit.  Abby's suit shown above is made out of 100% wool, but can also come in cotton or silk.

I couldn't resist owning this precious Jacket and ordered it for myself in Gray Wool to wear with black pants this winter.


What material would you choose for Abby's suit??????
