A mom all the way from Israel contacted me awhile ago about the Green Fairy Dress Outfit with Matching Bloomer Bubble Shorts. I was delighted with her order and story because her little papoose is going to wear it for her birthday party and to celebrate Purim. She kindly explained it's the Jewish holiday equivalent to Halloween, and I thought that was so incredibly neat. I did read up a little on the holiday just because I was that intrigued; it is fascinating to learn new things, and Purim is such a big cultural holiday.
This is such a fun dress up outfit too, it's so carefree and whimsical with all the impish qualities of a fairy. It is sturdily sewn together to withstand all the wear and tear children give clothing, and I love that it has a scruffy, disheveled look to it, like the little papoose wearing it has just finished flying around the forest on the most wonderful adventure.
I packaged everything up nice and tight for the long trip to Israel, adding extra layers of tape to all sides. I like to include a little gift for all the moms and dads who purchase something from me because they specifically chose Papoose Clothing when there are many other options (including chain stores, not just small business owners). I am always amazed at that so I let them know with a little thank you note too! I hope the little papoose's birthday and Purim celebrations are amazing and memorable!
Love this Ashley!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful side affect from being a small-business owner that we get a glimpse into the private lives of our clients...that is, to learn from others - how they celebrate, commemorate, encourage.
This little green outfit will make one little papoose very happy indeed :)
What a beautiful dress. I'm sure the little girl will be delighted with it.

ReplyDeleteThat's such a fun shade of green! I bet the little girl is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso--your turquoise custom dress was one of our favorite picks from the Look What I Made Linky Party last month. You're featured in the new party post today. :-)
