Major Photo Update :)

So, this is a very random post to update on a few different things. I will be out almost all weekend so I thought Id do some catching up on here first!

First I wanted to give a shout out to my friends who have sent me images of themselves wearing something from Violet Bella! So if you are reading this, and you yourself own something of mine, send me a pic! Im creating a notebook collection for myself to keep throughout the years!!!

First up is the amazingly beautiful Shauna from Poor Pitiful Pearl, whos clothing I just adore, I have 3 shirts now and hope to expand that throughout the years! In the photo below she is wearing a Violet Bella headband, the rest of her amazing outfit is all her own creation for PPP, isnt is just darling??? I think her and I have some of the same threads sewn throughout our souls.

Find her awesome shop here:

And be on the lookout this weekend, on sunday she is posting her new 'flip flop socks', they are so cute!!!

This lovely lady is a bit Violet Bella obsessed, ha ha! She is so awesome and I just love her to pieces!!! She is an amazing photographer and a super great momma to the most adorable little girl. Everytime she gets something from Violet Bella she photographs herself in it, and I just love it! And she does really cool things, I mean check out this black and white diptych she did with her new photo necklace, its just like the photo in the necklace!!!

This is just 2 of many!!! I think these two are my favorites so far, I just love what she did with this one below. She is wearing Isabel, her teddy bear shirt she got from me. I love the fun playful outfit she put together with it!!! I love that she is not afraid to just be herself :)

check out her fun blog here to see adorable family life photos:

peace love and leener

And this beautiful girl is Jamie, the newest Violet Bella fan, and I am growing to just love her. She has a beautiful soul, and is aspiring to be a photographer herself. I cannot wait to see what she comes out with, she has an eye for it! She loves to play dress up just like I do! She will be opening up a new etsy shop soon with her art, and vintage clothing and home goodies, so Ill keep you posted on that!

In this photo she is wearing a Violet Bella skirt :)

Update Part III:

A few new clothes to the collection. I really think the universe is telling me I need to sew more. Do you ever get that feeling with anything??? Just this week my collection just about doubles of great linens and stuff to work with. Between 2 friends sending me goodies, finding a tremendous granny square stash at our local thrift shop, and a family member sending me the biggest box of really great vintage embroidered linens. I am so fired up now to create some truly breathtaking pieces!!!

In this photo you see my screen printed birdie shirt. This collar is my favorite, I want to put it on everything :) The shorts were from Katelyn in the box she sent me. I am keeping them for myself! But will be making more for the shop :)

a cute upcycled dress :)

my first pillow case dress! the lovely Jamie is now the proud owner of this cutie!

Pillow case top, thanks Meg, this one is yours! And the patchwork skirt is up in the shop, but you must be tiny!

Bigger pic of the pillow case top. See that rad vintage 3 wheel bike in the background???

Granny square tank, I fell in love with this. I want to make more in this style, so cute!
