Last week,
I revealed my unbelievable excitement
about an opportunity that presented itself to me.
An opportunity that just opened the door
to my dreams for freckled laundry.
I wanted to wrap a few things up
before I announced my little secret.
I am honestly welling up with tears
as I even type this just as I knew I would,
and although I had planned
on taking a break from the usual banter
to write something heartfelt
and inspiring for you,
I simply don't think I can right now.
I can only manage to think the words
that we've heard time after time,
but I'm writing them regardless
because I wholeheartedly believe in their truth.

that we've heard time after time,

because I wholeheartedly believe in their truth.
Dream.
And never stop believing that your
dreams will come true.There likely isn't a single reader
of my blog that does not know and adore
I am convinced that she conceals
a pair of angel wings behind her back.
To make a long story short,
Marian is going to be putting my baby shoes
in her new booth at Wild Rose & Co.!!!
*thud*
(sound of me fainting)
She will carry an initial five pair
to see how they sell,
so please keep your fingers and hearts
crossed that others love them, too.
Even if they don't sell,
I am just honored that they will grace a table
in a shop filled with so much
creativity and talent.
So,
that's what I've been doing.
I've finished making the shoes for her booth,
three pair of which are limited edition styles,
designed a new fabric label,
price tag, and catalog.
I'm "official" now, right?
I'm "official" now, right?
I will share everything with you shortly.
This weekend,
my lil' family is heading to Annapolis, MD
to visit my sister-in-law.
And on Sunday, I'm taking a small trip
to Walkersville to deliver my shoes and things
to Miss Mustard Seed's booth
at Wild Rose & Co.!
I cannot resist dorking out here.
I feel like I'm 11-years-old again, anticipating
a New kids on the Block concert this weekend.
I'll snap lots of 'footage' for you, of course!

I am so happy for you! See - dreams do come true. And don't doubt for one second that your beautiful shoes won't sell. Miss MS saw the potential in them and so should you! They are one of a kind, unique in every way and - yours!! And as they say - be careful what you wish for! You will have so many orders that you won't know what hit you!!! Congrats again and enjoy!
Hang on babe, cause it's just the begining!
I'm sure that they will sell very well, they're too cute not too.
Jami, I'm so happy for you. I can only imagine how you must have felt when all this started to come together.
I wish you all the best!

That is so amazing! Congrats!! I bet they will sell quickly, they are absolutely adorable!!! Good luck to you have fun!!!
That is great news! I love Marian! I bought her music sheet dresser from her a couple of months back. You know, the one she used to have in all her posts. I just love it! I have been voting for her every day for her True Value bathroom contest. Your shoes will sell I am positive. No if, ands or buts, they are to die for. I love watching Marians little business flourish, I can't think of any one more deserving to find success like she has.
Oh Jami! What exciting news : )) I know they will do well for how can they not! I'm looking forward to hearing all the great upcoming news.
Well-deserved, my dear! I'm happy and proud for you. She is indeed quite talented. But then so are you!

Jami...this is so exciting. If I lived anywhere near Ms. MS, I'd be there to buy the very first pair! Keep up the good work and have an awesome weekend trip! {{{{{Hugs}}}}}
Eight kinds of awesome You are!
~*~*YAY!! You so deserve this Jami!!! Im so happy for you!! HUGS~ Rachel~*~*~*
Your baby shoes look adorable, don't doubt yourself for even one second. Miss Mustardseed is a fantastic and inspirational person, she inspired me to start my own blog and no doubt will inspire thousand more to follow their dream- bless her! And bless you!I am sure all will go well for you.
But why wouldn't she want your shoes? They are great, but not as great as your zinc bedside table and your other projects. This sounds like a good match for you, start working on more furniture and you could have a full time spot at Wild Rose. You are very, very talented. Believe in yourself like We believe in You. Ann
Congratulations! You and Marian are both so creative, and I love following along on your ~dream~ ride. They are adorable.
