For The Hope Chest News 
We are taking a bit of a break now that all our orders have been filled and we are getting ready for our inventory and tax time.
Inventory time always means rediscovering new fabrics, trims and ideas.
Now back to the workshop. Busy, Busy busy
Poodles skirts are on the way! The first very simple skirt is already in the store.
We have been putting together a new hiking explorer package, Hope Chest Island wear and faux money. New purses, skirts with fun fabric edges. Jewelry combinations. Princess accessory kits, and picnic sets with really cool picnic blankets.
On the drawing board are saddle blankets for the American Girl horses, Build-a-Bear pony, and Our Generation horses. An example is on our idea book page.
