We're celebrating the holidays a little differently this year at Boutique Cafe, my new baby Lola Olivia was born on Dec. 10th and isn't sleeping at night. Needless to say I had to find a creative way of bringing the holiday spirit to our viewers, while including some extra help from a few special friends to pull it all together. What I came up with was a wandering through various homes in our very own Boutique Community!!

This idea makes me feel like Robin Leach from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (minus the accent)!! It's a fun little holiday jaunt into the homes of some very creative gals who give so much year-round to their families and community. We hope you feel inspired by the Christmas decor, so cozy up with your hot cocoa and visit the homes of some of our closest friends.

Greetings Boutique Cafe Viewers! It's been awhile since our last show, my apologies for taking a break from podcasting over the past few months due to illness in my pregnancy. Thankfully, in a moment of renewed strength today I found this video in our "Boutique Cafe Vault" from Fall Quilt Market last year. This unseen interview is with the amazing and lovely Anna Maria Horner! I truly hope you'll enjoy it and leave comments for Anna Maria as well.

In our chat, we discuss her book "Seams to Me", Good Folks fabric line, new patterns available, and her exciting pregnancy coinciding with a Little Folks fabric line as well. Since we taped this back in Fall last year, Anna Maria's beautiful little son Roman indeed arrived and is beyond precious. Congratulations again Anna Maria! XO!

Interview with Lark Johnson

Our first Fashion Show on Boutique Café shows off the designs of Lark Johnson and features her own sweet daughter, Sophie, as her muse and model. Lark sells her designs on eBay under the user id "my_angel_sophie" and has been a long standing and admired member of the eBay Boutique community. Her 2005 collection is called the TUTU Collection and is a wonderful melding of Funky flair for your little girl. Her tutu skirts are the perfect style to wear with any top from long to short sleeves, tank tops or even can be dressed up for a really special occasion. Lark says, " Sophie wears her own tutu's everywhere, I wanted to design something that would incorporate the girly funk look that I love and make it versatile for your little girl to wear any day."

Many of our very own members of the designing community have lost their homes and all their possessions. The Boutique Angels are a group of designers with big hearts who have donated their time, materials and talent to create some beautiful boutique auctions available right now on eBay. The auctions will run throughout the month of September featuring boutique, handmade clothing and accessories and 100% of the profits from the sales will go directly to support the hurricane victims

Please search “Boutique Angels Charity” in your eBay search box and bid high and often to give a gift of hope to those who are struggling.
