This is a text-only post, and I apologize ~ you know how I hate getting bogged down in WORDS ~ but I just wanted to take a moment to put in a little plug for my favorite childrens’ boutique, Storkland.

As most of my friends know, I make hairbows for two of their three stores.

When I first found out that my Annie had a brain tumor, I sent word to the Tyler store that I wasn’t sure what my future would be, whether I would be able to continue to make hairbows, etc. I was fully expecting to be out of a job as they moved on to someone or some company who would be more reliable.

Their buyer (for all the stores) and manager of the Wichita Falls store, Anne, called me to let me know that first of all, she LOVED the bows and wanted to continue to do business with me, and even if she had to fill in with other bows from a bow company temporarily, she would definitely still do business with me and would wait for me to come back when I felt like I was ready.

But what impressed me the most was that she said she would be praying for Annie, and has even sent me an email this week to say, “Good luck and God Bless. Please keep me posted on your baby girls progress!!! Our God is mighty and never to be underestimated.”

How awesome is that??

Not only is Storkland your ONE STOP SHOP for everything baby-related….they are just really nice people. They sell everything you need for baby except diapers and formula, and their collection of cribs and bedding is the best anywhere, not to mention the best carseats and strollers….AND they have layaway! I also like that they carry little girls’ clothes up to size 16 that are cute and trendy and yet MODEST…and as we girl-moms know, those get harder and harder to find after about age 4.

I just so appreciative and grateful that they are willing to work with me that I wanted to be sure all my friends know how wonderful they have been to me!

They have a website and Anne has set up a blog about the latest and greatest in baby products.

Here’s the giveaway…..the first 10 people to check out the Storkland blog www.babyproductsmommyblog.blogspot.com
AND add it to your blogroll, I’ll give you one free large solid-color hairbow in your choice of colors. OH, and you have to leave me a comment letting me know you have done this!

There is nothing in this for me….in fact, Anne doesn’t know I’m doing this….I just really want to show my appreciation in a teeny, tiny little way for the people who have been good to me during the most difficult days of my life.

If I was Oprah, Storkland would definitely be one of my Favorite Things. 😉

Maybe I need to put in a call to Oprah….

Hurry…..giveaway ends at midnight May 16th. 🙂
