Introducing Liloup

"You should sell your stuff!" is a comment that my indulgent friends make from time to time, and I have a number of retorts.  I already have a job; I am too busy; I won't make any real money.  These facts remain true...but I can't resist this challenge!  So what if I'm a harried mother of two toddlers and teacher of 110+ middle schoolers?  So what I already can't find time to go to the gym or eat vegetables or shave my legs?  Wouldn't I rather be sewing?

I would.

And so, feeling ambitious one sultry August day, I took note of a new boutique in my neighborhood (The Tiny Hanger) and, heart pounding, filled out the designer application.  Since getting accepted (i.e. allowed to sell my wares on consignment in exchange for a cut of the sale price), I've opened a shop on Etsy, figured out to how to buy a domain name (thanks Elizabeth!), ordered labels and tags, and sewed a bunch (though, to be honest, the sewing has taken a small fraction of the overall time spent thus far - and I hope that will change).

Here I am stopping by The Tiny Hanger to visit my dresses.  The rust and teal items (which you see above, too) are mine:

And here are the bodysuit-pants sets in flannel, all lined up:

For now, my "line" consists exclusively of linen tunics (which start as dresses and work their way up to blouses over time) and flannel or corduroy bodysuit & pants sets.  Stop by the Etsy shop and tell me what you think and what you'd like to see next!
