Tip Your Tiara Issue #3

Welcome to The Tip Your Tiara Issue #3!

This week we are Tipping our Tiara's to a VERY special lady! She has Changed the ENTIRE Boutique Community! Her wonderful website brings everyone one step closer to designers than anyone ever has before! Thats right, Im talking about DARIA from Boutique Cafe!!

Since its Launch in September of 2005, Boutique Cafe has offered Designers and Buyers alike a chance to get out there and get known on a whole different level! People say that they feel as if they "know" these designers because now they can put a voice to a face! Its a very cool experience!

She has interviewed some of Ebay's TOP sellers and Models! From Sophie and Lark, Tons of Groups and their members, MANY talented designers, photographers, and even celebrities! And, Yours Truly! We have actually appeared on Boutique Cafe THREE times and counting! We just LOVE chatting with Daria! And even though there are months between our conversations, We always feel as though we are chatting with an old friend! She is just wonderful!

If you have never checked out Boutique Cafe (WHERE ARE YOU LIVING?!) then simply travel on over to www.boutiquecafe.com and listen to a pod cast or two!

There is also a WONDERFUL Chat Forum where you can hook up with other talented mommies and chat about real life, business, and all things Couture!

You can always find us chatting in the Hot Moms Section! :)

So this week we Tip our Tiaras to you DARIA!!! You have truly inspired so many people, and you continue to use your talent, whit, and charm to bring us the latest news in all things Boutique, and you always leave us wanting a refill on our Cup of Couture! ;) Cheers!

Bye, Bye, Bye!

Hey everyone! I just thought I would let everyone in on some news.

After much consideration and long hours of prayer, we have decided to leave

our Ebay designing Group, StudioR. We are very sad about our decision, but

we have to do what is best for our business, and we feel like we need to

focus more on our website and local sales, and take a leave from ebay for a while.

We have been so blessed to work with such wonderful women!

It has been both an honor and a privilege! I wish all of them only the best

in their future! I know they will all do great! Thank you girls for letting us

join you, and make some wonderful friendships!

Now Mingling Single,

The Bellas,

Our Question this week comes from Leslie, from Schenectady, NY asks:

Q. Dear Terry and Nikki, I am glad to have found your Blog after hearing your interview on BoutiqueCafe. I am very anxious to see your new Spring line, and was wondering what size range you will be offering, and what the overall theme of the line will be? Thank you.

A. Hey Leslie! Oh! I am so excited to answer your questions! Our Spring Launch is looking very promising! As for our size range, we will be offering toddler sizes 18mon. through 5T and a girls size 6! Our over all look is fresh and vibrant! We are trying to add a "Funky Feminine Flair"!

Tip Your Tiara Issue #1

Wow! This new year is starting off great on the Blog! And since we already have our first Ask The Designer question, I thought I would search out for our First "Tip Your Tiara" feature!

This section will be dedicated to wonderful designers, photographers, accessory makers, designing Groups, and people who have changed the Boutique Community!

First Up!! The woman that has inspired me alot these last few years! Amelia, from Sweet Feet Boutique!

(http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=sweet_feet_boutique)

Amelia is such a great Designer, Mother, Photographer, and Friend! She has an amazing eye for fashion that reflects not only in her own style, but in her boutique line as well. I continually search her Auctions and am in awe over her designs!

Her Current Auction, "Cocoa Lime" (http://tinyurl.com/yhdveo) , has such a wonderful whimsical style, like a cool fresh breeze on some tropical island!

Amelia's taste for fabric parings are second to none! And this set is no exception!

So if your in the Market for super cute Couture with a fun and classic style, search Sweet_feet_boutique on ebay, and check her out!

She also has a Blog you can check out! (http://ameliasfb.blogspot.com/)

So we Tip Our Tiara to You Amelia! Thank you for inspiring a whole new look

in Childrens Couture!!
