Hello everyone,

I saw this adorable sewing project over at A Little Loveliness!  She did it at a tea party and the girls were able to complete the project themselves.  I will have to try this with my daughter!

We're in the TOP 20!!

I'm sooo excited!!  It was recently announced that Emily Rose @ Home is in the top 20 for The Start Up Nation's Leading Moms in Business!  Wow!  We only had a month to work in and for us to reach the top was amazing!!

Here's an excerpt:

"Thanks to the success of Emily Rose, in 2009 Lisa-Marie was able to fulfill her dream of helping other Moms (just like her) create businesses of their own when she introduced Emily Rose @Home, a home party network for Mom/Daughter entrepreneur teams. Emily Rose @Home has quickly become popular due to the high quality affordable products, as well as the "no recruiting" policy and single level structure. "We focus on building businesses, not recruiters", said Lisa-Marie."


If you'd like to read the complete article, here is the link: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/10/prweb4648094.htm

Like Lisa-Marie states above, we do not recruit for our own businesses, the goal of our company is to help YOU build successful mother-daughter businesses that will last a long time!

There's a new girl.. er DOLL in Town!

Hello everyone!


I’m so pleased to share with you a new 18” doll that’s on the market.  Her name is Nicole and Debbie Garrett from Black Doll Collecting, graciously shared her pictures with me! 

Nicole is aspires to be a doctor and enjoys cheerleading when she’s not studying! 

Oh goodness I just love that face, she reminds me so much of my own daughter!  I love her hair too!

Nicole is from the Prodigyrls collection, a series of dolls designed by Dr. Daniela Wiggins, who when shopping for dolls for her girls, was disappointed by what was available.  So she took matters into her own hands and designed a line of dolls to reflect the values that many of us try to instill in our little girls.  Nicole will arrive to you in a doctor's outfit including lab coat!  Too cute!   Also available now is Janelle who is a chef that instills a healthy way of cooking. 


These “gyrls” are too cute and I cannot wait to add them to my collection! Since I’m on a self-imposed six month doll moratorium, I’ll have to wait! Ha!  Stupid moratorium!!


Oh and in case you don’t recognize the outfit, Miss Nicole is wearing our Emily Rose Sunshine Cheerleader outfit!  Isn’t she cute!  Although these dolls are slimmer in body than the American Girls, they outfits still fit well according to Mrs. Garrett!


I can’t resist!  Here is one more picture for the road!

Go ahead girlfriend!  Be all that you can be!!


***   I love to share customer photos!  So if you have any you would like to share, please email me at maggie965 @ yahoo . com (no spaces) with a brief paragraph about your doll and the outfit. ***


Love and Blessings!

Emily Rose Store Problem

Apparently there was a problem with the Emily Rose Store earlier today. The ISP was having issues that affected the store. According to Lisa-Marie, our store owner, it is now back up and running properly. If you tried to access earlier and could not get in, please try again!

Thanks for your patience!

Monday Outfit of the Week!

Whew! It's so nice to be back and blogging again. I missed it but just didn't seem to have the time and/or patience to do good posts. But we are back now and hopefully we'll stay on schedule!

Now for the outfit of the week. I have to say I fell in love with this dress the minute I saw it. It's a beautiful pink satin gown with a lace overlay. The overlay has such gorgeous flowers embroidered into it! Anyway, they say a picture is worth a thousand words so here is Ginger modeling the embroidered bow dress

Isn't it gorgeous. Ginger looks like she's going to a party or a prom! Here's a close up of the beautiful detail!

And the back view with the gorgeous sash!

I matched this dress up with these adorable pink bow shoes!

I know you will love this dress as much as I do! Oh and it washes really easy, we had an incident with red juice. I washed it in cold water with a touch of dish detergent, rinsed it really well and laid it flat to dry. No sign of the juice!!

Have a blessed day!
Margaret

Tuesday Around the Doll World 8/25

Hi Everyone,

This is a news filled week so I'm just going to get to it!

First, Debbie Garrett Author of the Definitive Guide to Collecting Black Dolls and Black Dolls: A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating, Collecting, and Experiencing the Passion was kind enough to share her doll Malia Machui wearing the Emily Rose Denim Jacket and Peasant skirt outfit. This three piece outfit is SO versatile! Malia-Machui is WORKING that outfit!



Walmart has recently started carrying a new line of 18" Madame Alexander dolls. These dolls are adorable and would be a great starter doll for your little girl. Debbie shared a picture of her new little girl Passion:



Isn't she adorable?? As soon as I have more pictures of the dolls in this line, I will share.

Speaking of Madame Alexander Dolls they just released a Nefertiti doll for 2009. I think she's pretty and the costuming is nice. But it seems something is missing, what do you think?

Picture by Madame Alexander

Finally for the Barbie fans! Did you hear that Barbie's dream house just got a bit bigger? Yes it's true! Mattel is building a House of Barbie in Shanghai, China. The idea behind it is similar the the American Girl Places here in the U.S. Here's more on the store including pictures. House of Barbie looks amazing!!:

I hoped you enjoyed this week's news around the doll world!
