Perfect Blend

Drake chose to be a little more adventurous. He liked the thrill of new flavors and the idea of surprise. So, for this young man, the strawberry sherbet added a little kick to his lick. Topped off with some sweet vanilla balanced the tart taste to make his choice be the perfect blend.

So, with a lick and a grin they enjoyed the first glimpse of sun that early spring day. They learned about sharing, about caring, and about being neat. Because having fun doesn't always need to be messy and sticky hands have never won hearts.

Come join Bumble Alley as we walk into a place of manners. Where clean, well behaved children hang around ice cream shops.

Prices: Bow tie. 12. Necklace. 15.

Ice Cream Shop

Ice cream shops seem to be a hit at any age. There is always something so exciting about choosing flavors, adding toppings and making decisions on a type of cone. Each and every visit there could be as adventurous or as simple as one would make it.

Perfect for this young pair, who knew what they liked and knew what they wanted.

Allison chose a simple vanilla ice cream. Life around this little girl is already so complicated so she picked something that would never change. Vanilla is vanilla. It is pure, natural, and always delicious. But then again, a little chocolate on a cone never hurt a girl....

Come join Bumble Alley for an ice cream treat, with as many colors in their designs as there are ice cream flavors.

Prices: Grey and Purple top. 35. Shoe clips. 20. Head band. 24.

White & Black

There is something peaceful about things that are in black and white. Things are simple. Things that are uncluttered and placed strategically to serve its purpose. It doesn't need color to be noticed, it has style. It doesn't need texture to grab interest, it has patterns. And it definitely has a way of merging together a gray that doesn't complicate, but enhance.

I love how they can be used on a wedding dress as well as in a Hanes t-shirt. A delicate under garment as well as a dish towel. Very much are they colors that can just as much create drama in one place and peace in another. They are the shades that we go back to again and again because they have proven themselves to be reliable.

Come take a walk with me down Bumble Alley, where life can finally be reliable.

Prices: Tie. 20. Headband. 24. Mini skirt. 18. Belt. 25.

Memory lane

Memories have a way of bringing the old things, new again and I love taking a deep breath in memory lane. Many times I remember moments when I would play as a child, the places we would explore and the friendships that I had. I would stand on this road and look at my life again, connecting to the familiar face of a child that I used to be.

It was an opportunity to make something that could have been. Pieces that we might have wore when I was growing up with my brothers. It was like I couldn't help but imagine feminine flower prints along side the classic warmth of wools.

Now when I walk, I see more then just a familiar face. I see a life style. A place when my dad would teach us to draw, encouraging us in our creativity. I see my mom who looked out for us and always made herself available. I see my secrets whispered in the ears of my sister balanced between building forts with my brother. I see a place that was comfortable to be in and definitely come back to, again and again.

Come take a walk with me down Bumble Alley where great memories are treasured.

Today there are girls who shop at Anthropology, they look for timeless pieces as well as one of a kind looks. They want to express their personality through the clothes that they wear and the accessories that they put on. They are open to today but also embrace the traditional, they expect to be treated nothing less then the ladies they are. Doors that are opened, seats that are offered, and dates that are paid for. Because she wants a boy with a pure intent, one that will become a man with character.

Him, on the other hand, is a guy that moves forward. He has no purpose in looking back but always being a part of. Because he wants to innovate, he wants to improve, and he wants to be there for all that is coming. He is a boy that is intrigued by the modern world and all of the innovations for a life that is easier. Even though he knows that moving ahead doesn't mean you need to lose out to who you were raised to be. This is a boy that was raised to open doors, offer seats, and always pay for dates. He is the one who believes in the traditional ways but takes on all the modern adventures as well.

And so, these two meet. And even though he is a little short for her, he had her at "McQueen".

Come take a walk on Bumble alley, a place where Vintage girls meet Modern boys.

Yellow Daffodils

A simple daffodil inspired my heart. The clear water in the vintage vase brought a smile to my face each time I stole a glance. I could almost see the vase standing on a kitchen counter years ago by another house wife. With children running in the yard, laundry dancing in the breeze, and a women sitting by her sewing machine.

The more I looked upon the flowers, the more I related to this idea. The simple joy of making beautiful, one of a kind pieces for children was important to me. I felt that as I sat there and imagined her life, the more I believed that she and I were similar.

If she were like me, she would take her time with each piece. She would think about the child wearing it and then imagine the places that they would wear them to. She would smile, and remember that each child was as beautiful, as precious, and as unique as the very moment that they lived in.

So, she would sew. She would pray a prayer for each and then ever so carefully place each item on each child. And ever so gracefully, bless them and their sweet little hearts. Because see, she believed that every thing she made, she had the opportunity to bless the very work of her hand. She had the unique ability to pour prayers into the very fabric of their lives.

Words of love, innocence, truth, and laughter. Words that will stand up to the world around them and be more powerful then all the bitterness and hate. The jealousy and pride. The hurt and the lies. Prayers to a God that cares more about children then she ever could. Just knowing that, takes my breath away.

Now you have a chance to be part of a life on Bumble Alley.
