Just a quick, quick post to let you all know that our wee babe arrived on June 17th ~ healthy and strong and swiftly birthed at home ~ and we're all doing well. Welcome to the world, June Charlotte!  We all love you so.

Though it's all new baby delights in the house, it's business as usual at DressMeUp. Thanks, Andrea!

This is a picture of Andrea, my new staff woman. Doesn't she look fun! Lissa had just set up our gear for a photo shoot and Andrea was helping me to 'test' the yellow backdrop. Soon after this shot was taken, little A and little W were rippin' up the goods, having a great time. Check out more pictures from the shoot here!



Andrea's taking over the administrative pieces of Dress Me Up while I take a maternity leave - if you place an order or contact us, it will be Andrea bundling up your order and getting back to you. I'm a-waitin' for the wee babe to start her journey to earthside - ANY DAY NOW! - and already, having Andrea has had a fantastic impact on my ability to chill out and prepare for baby's arrival. Hooray for Andrea!

Hi Tressa
I am writing from the Design Exchange, Canada's National Design Centre, located in Toronto.  I actually grew up in Victoria and was there visiting my family last week and I popped into the toy shop on Estevan to buy a gift for a friend who is expecting.  I am glad that I did because I came across your amazing line!  When I arrived back at work I sent a link to your site around to my colleagues and our curator was super excited and decided to post something on our blog.  Here is the link: Dress Me Up and Freeze, Boil or Wash Me.

All the best,
Katie Weber
Director of Youth Programs
Design Exchange (DX)

Now, that's a great way to start our day. Warm thanks to Katie and AnneMarie, and the team at DX!
