Turkey!

Thanksgiving Sibling Sets

What comes to mind when you hear the word "turkey"?  Well, for starters it's a large bird related to the chicken, but to millions of people in the United States it immediately brings thoughts of the Thanksgiving feast.  Of course, Turkey is also a country in Western Asia / Southeastern Europe.  There are several other connotations of note as well.  The term "turkey" can refer to a foolish person and it also can define a failure as in a theatrical play or movie.  It even has a meaning in the world of sports.  For example, when a bowler has three consecutive strikes it is known as a "turkey."  Then we have "cold turkey" which refers to an immediate and complete withdrawal from an addiction such as cigarette smoking, alcohol, or even drugs.  For me, I prefer to think about the delicious roasted turkey we serve each and every year on Thanksgiving Day!  I'm so happy the Native American Wampanoag tribe introduced the turkey to the early Pilgrim settlers!  So whatever your connection may be with "turkey" Zoey's Attic has colorful and fun turkey designs making for the perfect Thanksgiving shirts for everyone in the family.

True Confessions....

Custom Fourth of July T-shirts from Zoey's Attic

True confession here... the Fourth of July isn't my favorite holiday.  As a kid, it meant summer vacation was on the downward slide and I didn't like that scenario at all!  And another true confession... I'm afraid of fireworks! Pyrotechnics really scare me and I'm sorry to have passed this fear on to my daughter as well. I don't like the loud booming noises and I certainly have never enjoyed sparklers. Sadly, someone gets a sparkler burn every year at our family get together. However, I do like watching our community's spectacular firework extravaganza. It is always very professionally done and very pretty with lots of oohs and aahs!  Also, in addition to my independence and great pride in this awesome country I call home, I love the gathering of family and friends for the annual Independence Day barbeque. How exciting would it be to announce to all your loved ones that a precious new baby will be at the celebration next year?  Even better, let one of the kiddos wear an "explosive secret" tee and sit back and enjoy all the fun watching everyone figure out what the shirt says!  Zoey's Attic has super cute personalized tees for this very special day!

Let's Rock!

Rockstar Birthday Boy Tshirt

My inner rockstar self has taken great delight in watching American Idol since Season One.  I must admit I was worried when Simon Cowell left the show, but was surprisingly very happy with the additions of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez! These two stars renewed my interest in a show that had gotten a little stale for me.  I'm not so happy with the current Season 12. I have enjoyed the singers for the most part, but there has been a little too much country for me.  I really prefer the tempo of rock music (true confession..my all-time favorite Idol contestant is Bo Bice from Season 4). Anyway, the divas currently judging make it uncomfortable to watch, and Randy is just too predictable. I have, however, found a new appreciation for Keith Urban and his music.  He seems like a very nice fellow.  Another favorite show is The Voice. Well, my interest may actually be fueled by my crush on Adam Levine of Maroon 5. I'm not usually into guys with lots of tattoos, but he's a real cutie-patootie! I'm also an Usher fan so Season 4 has been lots of fun for me! Now we can look forward to the season finales of these two shows. So, there's plenty of time for all future rockstars to get the perfect rockstar tee for the big events! You can even announce a new rockstar will be joing the family with a rockstar big sister or big brother tee from Zoey's Attic. The American Idol Season 12 Finale is Thursday, May 16th, and The Voice Season 4 Finale is Tuesday, June 18th. Hope your favorite is a winner!

Surprise!

So you're expecting a new addition to the family and you're busy getting everything together in anticipation of the big event. Family and friends have been told the exciting news and a sweet Pecking Order Birdie sibling set for three has been ordered for biggest brother and big sister along with an adorable matching onesie for the new baby.  The shirts are delivered and everyone is happy.  Then a visit to the doctor and bingo... the family can now expect not one newborn... but two!  Now that's a surprise!  So mom, who has everything under control, makes plans for one more.  She even has the presence of mind to figure out she needs a new sibling set with four birdies.  Now this is an amazing mom who really has it all together!  Not so sure, in fact completely sure, I would not have thought a minute about the sibling set for the kiddos after hearing this shocking news!  So mom contacts Zoey's Attic to discuss another sibling set with the fabulous idea of using the shirts for a special announcement photo shoot.  Mom orders a set of two shirts and two newborn onesies.. a blue shirt and birdie for biggest brother, a pink shirt and birdie for big sister and two white onesies with yellow birdies for Baby #3 and Baby #4.  The photo shoot is a success. The shirts may be sweet, but the models are just so, so cute!  Family and friends now know twin girls will be joining this special family. Congratulations Dad, Mom, Biggest Brother, and Big Sister!
 

Sharing Our Love

Valentine Shirts from Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts

Can you believe it's already mid January, and I've already been gifted with not one, but two bouts of the flu bug? Guess I wasn't in the 62% of the population for which the vaccine will work. Anyway, I'm feeling so much better now, but I haven't really thought much about Valentine's Day and it's only four weeks away! I have always loved Valentine's Day and as a child I especially enjoyed the school parties the room mothers planned for us on this special day. Everyone in our school had carefully written out their Valentine cards to share, the moms planned games for us, and of course we snacked on specially prepared cupcakes and candies during the party. Mom also dressed us in the appropriate holiday shirt for every occasion, and I too love dressing the kiddos in just the perfect outfit for all the Valentine festivities. So if you are looking for a super cute personalized shirt for your little Valentine you might want to look over the selection at Zoey's Attic. We also have new and adorable onesies with matching leg warmers for the baby and so, so sweet pregnancy announcement tees too. It's so much fun now as a parent to experience the excitement of the children on any holiday but especially sharing our love on Valentine's Day.

It's been a great year and we love you all so much for helping this mom grow her little baby into a full fledged biz! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our Flock!!!

Rockstar Dad & Child Gift Set

Big sister someday rockstar raglan Tshirt

When I was younger (a lot younger!), I dreamed of being a rockstar! Well, maybe I really just wanted to be a diva! My friends and I would sing continually pretending to be stars. Why, we even had fake made-up girl bands! I, of course, wouldn't want to date myself so I won’t be sharing with you my all time favorite rockstar idols!  I'll bet that our Mom wannabe rockstars see the same passion in their children. It's fun to fantasize about being a rockstar, and who knows, some of our little ones may well someday be an American Idol. But for now, how about a simple t-shirt from Zoey's Personalized Gifts for the aspiring rockstars in the family?

More birdies - birdies, birdies everywhere!

I am barely keeping my head above water these days with my Etsy shop. Apparently, the birdie shirts are quite popular with the sibling set. I am definitely NOT complaining about having all these shirts to print, it's just I often lose of how awesome what I do is. These aren't just white t-shirts, they are really exciting things for the recipients! Whether it's a gift or a pregnancy announcement, someone on the receiving end of my hard work is really excited. That's probably why I spend too much time (from an economic standpoint) making sure each one is just right and that the birdies are spaced right and the font looks just perfect on each shirt. When I question the time I spend and the amount of headaches that go into printing these shirts myself, I get a picture like this from a happy customer and I get tears in my eyes looking at those beautiful girls meeting their brand new baby brother with their "big sister" shirts on! Aahh! It's so awesome!



I thought I'd also post the biggest birdie order to date. I shipped out this order for four siblings today! We've done our fair share of threesies, but this was the first "foursie" and adorable it was, even if I do say so myself! I'm sure before long, this adorable set of four shirts will be worn by four very excited siblings and I'll think about that next time I'm cussing out my printer for jamming! :)

Not That you Asked, but I'm so gonna tell you anyway!

I have a few favorite bloggers, okay, I have a lot of favorite bloggers, but one of my first favorites that I became a loyal reader of was Not That You Asked. Emily is the blogger and she truly makes me laugh out loud almost everytime I catch up on her life with a two year old son and newborn baby girl. Plus, I can SO relate, with a 2 1/2 year old girl and a baby boy of my own.

Since I love her blog so much I sent her son and new baby matching big brother/little sister shirts a while back and she posted some adorable pictures of her cute kiddos sporting them. Check 'em out at this post over here.


Since she posted the shirts, I've had a few of you wondering where you can get your very own personalized (or not) birdie shirts, hop on over to my etsy shop or contact me directly if you have some specific requests!

You really need to check out her hilarious blogs is you don't already. She also blogs for Parents.com, so catch up with her now...go... read! Thanks again Emily!

Big Sister Mix and Match

I am still trying to get caught up with all the new designs around this joint! Sorry for such a long delay in posting!

However, I am finally happy to share with you the new "sister designs" consisting of big sister, middle sister and little sister stick figures. I am working on expanding the selection so you can pick your hair color, skin color, etc. but for now, we are kicking this new sister design line off with three cute stick figure t-shirts. The first is the big sister:

To see all three new big sister t-shirts, check them out here: new big sister mix and match gear. Don't forget, personalization is always an option, simply let us know what you'd like by filling out our personalization form. Usually, no extra fees apply for personalization!

We always love hearing from our Zoey's Attic customers. Let us know what you think of this new design and any other ideas you might have!

Guess what a little birdie told me...

Birdies are all the rage these days. One of my best friends just welcomed a new babygirl last month and has the cutest birdie nursery set. I couldn't help but get inspired by all this too cute birdie wear. So, of course I went straight to the designing board!

Here is the newest i'm going to be a big sister birdie design, hot off the presses!

Check out all the shirts here!
