Christmas Initial Tees



Thank you to one of our favorite customers, Kelly, for sending this great photo of her two kids in front of their Christmas tree wearing their Polka Dot Market original initial tees. (You've seen her daughter before here on our blog!)


I love how both tees turned out. We custom-made the red stripes "g" for her son and the red dots initial shirt became a top seller (we are now selling this shirt for Valentine's Day too). Kelly is a great designer...she knows I have a BIG stash of fabrics and am always ready for custom orders.


We love to see photos of your kids wearing their Polka Dot Market big initial applique tees. We take our time to make each shirt unique and perfect for you. Every shirt includes a soft interior lining for durability and comfort (no scratchy applique backings here). Does your son or daughter love wearing their big initial tee? Send us a photo to post here on our blog and in an upcoming feature on our website!


Insider Information: I just returned from the fabric store with the cutest fabrics for our newest lines of holiday and spring initial tees. I have tiny hearts, tiny shamrocks, a new boy's stripe on the way and three beautiful florals for Easter shirts. In 2008, look for more ribbon trims, more ric-rac and free gift box options. Hooray!


You can purchase the red/white polka dots initial tee here in our Etsy shop: http://www.polkadotmarket.etsy.com/.

Snow in Tennessee



My brother-in-law, Steve, brought snow from Michigan (7+ hour drive in a cooler) so he could build my daughter a snowman in our front yard for Christmas. Can you believe it? What a great gift!


No long road trips this year...we are home and it is very relaxing. I have been missing my family in Michigan (all of my sisters are home too), but they keep sending me pictures and calling so I will make it!


Today the girls are going to Grandma's to play with their aunties who just flew in from Michigan. I will be sewing and shipping a few birthday orders for parties on January 4th then sneaking out for a few hours of shopping I hope. Our best friends from Michigan now live in Memphis and we will see them tonight for dinner as they drive through town on their way to Michigan for the holidays.


We hope you received something very special for Christmas yesterday too. My mom sent me my very own "Sally" blue Porsche car from the movie CARS. I love it! She is on top of my bookcase in my office for inspiration...to sew faster maybe?


I promise our new products and Valentine's Day tees will be up before the new year!


Happy day-after-Christmas-sale shopping. Write a comment and tell me your best bargain.
