Wee Bit Irish

Yes, I'm proud to say I'm Irish! Well, I think everyone is at least a "wee bit Irish" every year on March 17th! Also, I feel so very blessed to have visited the homeland...the Emerald Isle...my Ireland! Kissing the Blarney Stone was a dream come true (albeit a bit scary!). I actually had no idea the famous Blarney Stone was at the top of Blarney Castle and that I would have to lie down on my back and kiss it upside down! A rather traumatic moment, but as a result I was given the "gift of eloquence" or in other words the "gift of gab!" (Hmm... I thought I already had it!) A real treat was enjoying a Guinness while watching authentic Irish jig dancing at Ireland's oldest pub, The Brazen Head.  It was established in 1198, and just think we are Facebook friends today! While I can't be in Dublin to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, family and friends will be living it up St. Louis style. If your clan is planning some St. Paddy's Day shenanigans then Zoey's Attic has just the shirt for you!  You will even find festive "wee bit Irish" shirts for your doggies here! And, if you're planning on making a special surprise announcement, Zoey's Attic can help too with a fun Big Sister or Big Brother to be tee! However you celebrate, just enjoy being Irish.. at least for a day!

Almost Spring!

Butterfly Gifts from Zoey's Attic

One day it's snow and ice, the next is 60°F and sunny! That has always been the weather challenge here in St. Louis. It's sort of what you see is what you get with absolutely no rhyme or reason. But, I can always tell when Spring is near...the itchy eyes, runny nose, sore throat and laryngitis give it away each year as the doldrums of Winter give way to the awakening of a new Spring.  The sickly annoyances are all worth it because I will soon feel better with the official arrival of Spring.  I am rejuvenated by the wonders of this season with the caterpillars' transformation into the beauty that is the butterfly, the opening of the tree buds and the tulip bulbs blooming in the yard, the sound of the bees buzzing as they begin their important work of pollinating the flowers, and finally the thrill that is Cardinal baseball!  It is also the time to unpack and update the Spring wardrobe that has been stored away for the long Winter season. And, if your little ones have outgrown last Spring's tops, Zoey's Attic can help get you ready for Spring 2014. Zoey's has super sweet Spring t-shirt designs, and if you're updating your kiddo's room Zoey's has adorable pillow designs to complement your theme. You will even find Zoey has gifts that are perfect for Mother's Day! Only 22 days remain until the official first day of Spring! Can't wait!

Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts Cowboy Collection

When I was a kiddo Western movies and TV shows were very popular!  One of my most favorite television shows was "Texas Bruce and the Wrangler Club."  It was locally produced by KSD-TV and aired after school Monday thru Friday.  And, we would even dress in our cowboy and cowgirl hats, shirts, and boots to watch the show!  However, little cowboys and cowgirls from the area could also visit the set and actually view the show live!  I always wanted to be on the show, but sadly never had the opportunity. My brother went with his Boy Scout troop and I was so jealous!  Can you imagine how special it would have been to attend the show wearing your very own cowboy or cowgirl shirt?  Well, today's kids can get a special and personalized western shirt from Zoey's Attic.  They can even make one for big kids like me!  How fun to announce a new little cowboy or cowgirl would soon be joining the family or have your very own western themed birthday party!

Love Is All You Need....

All You Need Is Love TShirt

The popular song "All You Need Is Love" is credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership and was first performed live in 1967 by The Beatles.  John Lennon was lead singer and background vocals were sung by Paul McCartney and George Harrison. I am from the era that considered The Beatles to be the absolute best in the music industry, and also feel very fortunate that I was able to attend Paul McCartney's "On The Run Tour" concert when it played at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis in November 2012.  The set list featured various love songs including "All My Loving," "And I Love Her," followed by "My Valentine." Zoey's Attic has a new "All you need is love, love is all you need" design t-shirt and I sure wish it had been available back in 2012.  It would have been perfect to wear to the concert!  Anyway, that's what Valentine's Day is all about...LOVE! Be sure to check out Zoey's Attic for all their personalized Valentine's Day designs. They've got you covered for this super sweet holiday!

More True Confessions...

Fang Dangle Pocket Pillow

Well here goes! I very much dislike the dentist (nothing personal Dr. Miller)... but I just don't like having anyone's hands in my mouth. Don't like hearing the drill. Don't like the picking that occurs with teeth cleaning. Don't like Novacaine shots. Don't like having a crown, root canal, nor a tooth extraction! So there you have it! There is really nothing at all I like about a trip to the dentist. Sadly, I have inflicted my dental phobias upon my daughter. So it wasn't much fun last week when she had to have a tooth pulled. I talked to her a
lot about

Childrens Toothfairy Raglan Shirt

what the "tooth fairy" might do for her to distract her from what was going to happen. To help her ease the "pain" we got a sweet "on the toothfairy's payroll" shirt and matching pink Fang Dangle tooth fairy pocket pillow from Zoey's Attic. We even had the shirt personalized with her name. Everyone at the dental office loved her new shirt. The dentist even gave her the tooth so the tooth fairy wouldn't be confused later that night. She tucked her tooth carefully in the Fang Dangle pocket and hung it on the bedpost. My daughter was thrilled the following morning when she found the tooth fairy had taken the tooth and left a bit more than the usual amount in its place. I guess the tooth fairy decided an extraction earned her the top rate!
