this past weekend
some sweet polite boys asked if they could perform
in front of our store, and we said
are you kidding!? go knock'em dead!
we weren't prepared to hear such greatness...
they were amazing!
they harmonized so sweetly,
they smiled when they sang,
and they mesmerized the shoppers
and diners out on the sidewalk!
this is SHELTON and he is 13 years old...
he plays the guitar and the ukelele
and he's learning piano...
plus he sings!
he likes to do the breakouts and runs when he sings...
this is CHRISTIAN on the left... he is 11 years old.
his brothers say he has a really strong voice
for singing the melody in their songs...
that's SCOTT on the right... he is 15 years old.
he sings harmony
and sometimes he plays the bongo!
together they are incredible...
but they're not entirely sure what to call their group yet...
so for now they just go by the welch brothers,
which i think is super catchy!
here's a little video of one of their songs:
enjoy!

these bright colors and soft easy fabrics
are from a line called BELLA BUFFA
(pronounced bell-a boof-a)...
it's a brand new line of children's clothing
that actually made it's DEBUT in our store this spring
and is designed by our very own team member VICKI!
VICKI and her sister JANA
started their own line of children's clothing
as a way to employ (and empower)
women in the dominican republic...
a place that is very dear to their hearts.
the spring line has been selling like cracker jacks,
and their exciting new fall line is in the works!
YAYY VICKI, we are so proud of you!

the emerald coast middle school's
paint'n the rays one mile & 5k color run
happened last friday evening... so much fun!
alex and i set up a booth
to share some gigi's temporary tattoo love,
then alex ran the one mile
with her super speedy little boy lennon,
while i participated in the 5k...
as we ran, kids stationed at different places
along the route threw colorful dust at us...
we learned it was actually corn starch,
but i liked to pretend it was magic fairy powder
that made you run super fast!
we made sure miss cocoa was there with her camera
to capture it all:
this was the first time ECMS has done this race...
but i heard lots of people say they couldn't wait
to do it again next year... ourselves included!

WILLIAM is 6 years old
and one of his favorite things to do is to play football!
his favorite foods are pancakes with syrup
and banana splits!
he loves wolves, coyotes, and his friend's dog riley...
when he grows up he wants to be a paleontologist
because he keeps finding rocks that have fossils in them
and he wants to learn more about it!
he enjoys playing with his little sister ELISABETH
and his big sister MEG!

yesterday once the clouds parted and the rain stopped
the flowers started blooming!
miss cocoa set up the art table out front
and helped some kids make these adorable flowers
for their moms for mother's day
using just paper hearts, popsicle sticks,
pom poms, and the all important glue dots...
as for the moms of the fabulous kids
featured in today's glob,
if they haven't actually given you your gift yet,
please try to act surprised when they do!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
