New for Spring

I want to start showing off our spring line.  We should be getting our first spring shipment in later next week and hope to have it up online by the following week.  It really is such a cute line.  I want to introduce the "sailboat" designs- one of my favorite of the season. We have the sailboat bishop dress, smocked sailboat shortall, sailboat bishop short/bloomer set, applique sailboat jon jon, applique dress, and applique sailboat t shirt and shorts for bigger boys.  They will be the perfect 4th of July outfits and last all summer. I love outfits that do double duty!

Working on our first Catalog!

Well we are so excited! This spring Shrimp and Grits Kids will be publishing it's first catalog.  Mike Meehan is our photographer extraordinaire and he is also laying it all out. He really is multitalented.  We have been shooting all over Charleston and I'll be posting pics as we edit them.  I am so excited about our spring line.  We will be debuting some smocked sailboats, smocked frogs and a new smocked alligator! Cant wait to show them!

Shrimp and Grits Kids First Fashion Show

Shrimp and Grits Kids was a part of the Fashion for Paws fashion show to support the Charleston Animal Society.  We had 6 little models strut their stuff down the runway and show off the smocked pumpkin bishop, the smocked christmas tree bishop and longall, the smocked labs, smocked carousel bubble, the appliqued cupcake jumper and the appliqued hot cocoa pant set. They were fabulous!

Smocked Alligators and Smocked Whales

I had to share this picture! How adorable are these little ones wearing thier Shrimp and Grits Kids.  They are sporting the Whale Watching Bubble and Shortall and the Edisto Alligator Bubble and Short Set.   These were my top sellers last spring, and I am going to miss the Edisto Alligator smocking plate which I just retired.  I have designed a new alligator smocking plate that you all will love.  Can't wait to post the spring line.  It is too cute!!!

Time to Wear the Smocked Pumpkin Bishops and Longalls!

What a great weekend- I feel like fall is here!  I've seen a lot of pumpkins popping up on peoples' front porches, so it is time to put that Pumpkin Bishop Dress on!  Oh and don't forget about the Pumpkin and Tractor Longall.   Well the weekend is over and Mondays are always our busiest day of the week.  Right now we are catching up on exchanges and finishing up shipping our last Fall shows' orders. I am really getting in to this blogging thing.  I'll be back tomorrow- hopefully!

My First Blog Post!

Wow- this is exciting, my first blog post!  I always said I didn't have enough time to have a blog, but now that I have it set up, I really don't think it will be too hard.  My mission with this blog is to keep everyone updated on what is going on with our smocked kids clothing business, Shrimp and Grits Kids.  I figured this would be a great way to do it!  We are winding up the smocked clothing home shows for fall 2009. What a great trunk show season- so great in fact that we ran out of some sizes of certain styles- yikes.  The reversible appliqued tractor and appliqued santa longall and the reversible jumper with the appliqued pumpkin and appliqued santa were my top sellers by far. Who knew!! Next fall season expect a ton of reversibles!  The smocked labs, smocked christmas pajamas and smocked pumpkin bishop dress were also great sellers this season.  I just want to thank all of my dedicated sales reps and hostesses- yall are amazing! I always say this, but if it weren't for you Shrimp and Grits Kids would not exist. Thanks again!
