    I’ll Get You, My Pretty.

    ByHeather Bailey
    In the spirit of summer picnics, I've added three colors of gingham to the variety show, in long and standard lengths:

    She's No Picnic – Red Gingham
    My Pretty – Blue Gingham
    Check Please – Pink Gingham

    And a pack of Red, White & Blue ties with a bonus 6th tie. 

    As
    far as patriotism goes, this new multi-pack not only covers the USA,
    but also Australia, Great Britain, France, Iceland, and a number of
    other countries;  (did you know there are at least 11 countries with
    red, white, & blue flags?)  A great pack for back-to-school as
    well, especially if your kids wear school uniforms and are limited in
    their color choices for hair doo-dahs.  The Red White Blue multi-pack is only available through Labor Day though (Sept. 7th). The ginghams are available while supplies last.

    I'm almost done typing up a new ice cream recipe
    too — just in time for the outrageously-hot weather that rolled in
    this week.  If you're suffering through summer, definitely get an
    ice-cream maker.  They're great.  Of course, you might have to exercise
    extra, which may not be the best way to stay cool. Hm.

  • New ‘Do

    ByHeather Bailey

    I asked Charlotte how she wanted her hair done today.  I fully expected a ponytail request, or pigtails, or braids.  Instead, Miss Salty replied, "Make a hair do that nobody has ever seen before."  Well, en garde!  Challenge accepted.

    And
    don't get too boggled studying the photo.  I've put together a Hair-Do
    How-To pdf to untwist the mystery.  Click on the image below to
    download the pdf instruction sheet.

    This hairdo reminds me of a celtic knot
    — and is a real cart-stopper I should warn you.  Three different
    people stopped us on our milk-run to the grocery store to ask how
    Charlotte's hair was put together.  I figured a pdf would make the
    explaining much easier.

    If downloadable hairdos work for
    you, let me know and we'll put together some more Trash Ties
    tutorials.  In fact, send us photos of your own Trash Ties hairdo
    creations and perhaps we'll design a pdf to show off your twisted
    ingenuity.
