Busy....Busy....Busy....

I want to Thank all of you that had special orders and waited until
after the funerals and all. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Spring is FINALLY here! YIPEEE

I will be going on vacation the month of July and October so if you are needing
anything special please contact me ASAP for all those special occassion, pageant,
holiday sets.

As most of you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE CUSTOM work, And OOAK's are
GREAT. If you ever see an item of enchanted threads and would love it in a different
color, size just ask away.....I'd love to help. Example: I had someone ask if I could make
a cherry set instead of a strawberry and yes, I did and it was as cute as ever and loved
creating it. One wanted fishy instead of mermaids yes it was as cute as the mermaids.

I am not a factory and do not like to revisit items over and over, I do it all.. design my items using NO patterns, I purchase all my fabrics, no not bolt after bolt, (everyone gets tired of the same ol') I sew each and every piece all by myself. But that is why I LOVE to sew for the little ones. I get to know each one even through emails, etc. But I can help design and create just for YOUR little one to get the perfect colors, fabrics, and designs to fit perfect. I do put Love and quality workmanship in every stitch.

This little Red/white Peasant dress with sash is the special. Purchase it and wait for an invoice please.







Special PRICE IS $22.00 plus shipping.

Deadline is Monday April 12th MIDNIGHT. It goes back to the reg price of $38.00 and shipping.

Good Luck! :o)

Thank you!
Barb

they may look like on but I work, I have a wonderful family that

does come first and foremost ALWAYS. We do alot of family things together.

I also have someone very special that is ill and I may be missing for a few days

without notice, I do hope you will understand if I don't get back to you asap.

I purchase my fabrics, notions, I do not use patterns, it does take a little longer when

I am creating but hey thats how I like it Unique! And sew each piece myself with no help. I Love it that way! I do not have the time to also be a

photographer, most of the time I have my sample items sold before they could get

modeled. If you all that purchase from me would like to send my a couple of pictures with

your little one in an enchanted threads design I will send you a coupon for $$ off your next

purchase but they must be clear, front and back and sent them to

Thank YOU!!

Have a great evening!

Barb

and the answer is....

I've decided that I will be doing a 3 pc country set.
Your going to LOVE it but I'm not spilling and telling
you what it will be. How fun this is going to be.

I'm going to be doing my first special right here on
Feb. 27th.

Be sure to check in and let me know what you
all are looking for, after all I'm here for my clients and
what they are needing, wanting, wishing for.

I give myself an hour to list ONE item, answer emails thats about all
I can do with this slow dial up we have on this farm. Actually that is about
all I can handle before I loose it and want to toss it. Its like have a country
turtle and the city rabbit. *silly isn't it* NOOOO its crazy....LOL

I'm always up late at night sewing, sewing, and more sewing.
Thats when I can come up with some wonderful creative thinking.
No phones, No company, No laundry, cleaning, etc. since hubby is sleeping
I don't want to wake him I always head to the studio and
begin the creating. Trouble is I have SO much fabric sometimes
I truly believe it becomes overwhelming at which fabrics to
pick and watch it come alive. Other times I walk through
the door and its dancing pick me. LOL

Knowing alot of my clients hearts and what they and their
little ones love helps with the creations. I like to know what
color hair, eyes, tall and thin, itty bitty, or normal range.
Nothing like creating a set for someone if I don't know these
things because I just don't get into it as good if I think my
items will wash them out with the colors of the fabrics. Did I
tell how much I LOVE HIGH QUALITY fabric??? It sure can be expensive
to purchase at times but oh so worth it. My prices are high when my
supplies are high, low when I get a good deal somewhere, which
I will pass on to my clients.

I used to do free shipping only until that got out of hand too so to help you the customer I will try my best to split it with you. :o) There are times when I will say ok free shipping on this item
on this day only, so watch for those little perks.

Time to try and get some sleep work comes early.
Sweet Dreams be safe and warm.

Spring is around the corner...

As usual I've been very busy but I do hope to do better!!
Spring is around the corner and I know most love that time of
the year. I know I do.

The mornings I can go out on the deck with a nice hot cup of
tea and just smell the fresh air and hear the birds. To see
the grass starting to turn green, the trees and their buds.
I'm getting all warm inside just thinking about it. :o)

Can you tell I live in the country? I love being a country girl!!
I can see through the fields and the tree tops and know that someone
else out their in the horizon is also waiting for SPRING as I am.

There is one major fall back at living in the country and thats this slow
slow slowwwww dial up that we have. I don't understand why they think
because you live in the country you shouldn't get perks like HIGH speed internet
as you do in the city. We pay more but get less, don't you country people
believe this???


I'm going to have a "special" on March 1st for all those country bumpkins. LOL

I'll be creating a wonderful awesome cowgirl set hmmmm my mind is thinking
already. Should it be skirt and top? Dress? Top and Capri? Boys set? What do you all
think? Send me an email with what you would like to see as the special and a size,
Since I'm always doing different sizes in my samples. enchantedcustomboutique@yahoo.com

Be sure to follow me for specials that I will be listing, I know I haven't done
that before but its because I am learning this blog stuff.

I will have to finish up when I get home from work, I must run now.

Have a wonderful day and hey help me out and share my blog to all on your mailing
list or just pass me around, help a country gal with DIAL UP!!! Thanks!

Happy January!

January brings a new year full of exciting new things to come!

Our Christmas and New year was fantastic.
Family time and spending it with new and old friends is always a
wonderful time and memories.

I stayed very busy with everything in fact so busy with orders that I made
a new rule to myself and my family. All orders for the Christmas holidays will
end in NOV. So that I can really get back to my family and all the things I love
about the holiday with them. :o)

I will be listing MANY NEW 2010 items. From mega sets to simple pieces. Remember if you need anything just ask I'm always here to answer any questions. To give me more time to create I will also be listing many OOAK one of a kind items.

I will be sharing the shipping with my clients since it is getting so expensive to ship I thought I'd share that expense with you. Would love to say free shipping again but with the prices of fabrics, notions and supplies going up I just can't but I will hold specials for the "Free shipping".

Here's wishing each of you a wonderful 2010, may it brings us all good health,peace,kindness, and love together. Try to be alittle kinder and caring this 2010 and put someone else ahead of yourselves. It truly does make the heart feel so good.

Thanks to all my wonderful NEW and RETURNING Clients, I so appreciate you and your little ones.

I will be let you know VERY SOON when the new line is finished.
