Wow! We got a whole bunch of snow here! This is the most snow I have seen since I have been living in the south! Lillie had a ball running around and playing in it! Fortunately, thanks to the wind, there were spots where it wasn’t very deep at all so she played there.

Here is a preview of a few new things I have been working on. I recently found some slate colored silk dupioni that I just adore the color of! I have been playing with it a bunch and here is a preview of a few of the items that will be added to http://www.dearlillie.com/ in February with the rest of our spring items:

The Adeliene Dress – in Slate with Pearls and Lace

The Lillian Shirt in Slate
The Lillian Shirt in Slate with Pearls and Lace
The Lillian Shirt in Slate with Jewels PS – Don’t forget to check back Monday for our next Giveaway!!!!!!

Here is a look at some of the things that Dana has been working on. We hope to add them, along with all of our new items to http://www.dearlillie.com/ in mid to late February. She gave me one of the Diana necklaces in navy for my birthday — I LOVE it!

So, we have had a rough few days at the Holmes’ house! Poor Lillie got the flu so bad we had to take her to the doctor’s and then it hit Jon and I. We are all finally feeling a bit better today, though, thank goodness! However, on a brighter note Sports Illustrated featured William and Mary on their main college basketball page yesterday and its still up today (not sure how much longer it will be so check it out now): http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/?eref=sinav

Lillie got so excited when she saw Quinn she started jumping up and down and clapping!

“There is such a place as fairyland – but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life.

These are some pictures from when we were up in New Hampshire last week at my parents house, on what we call “Moose Mountain”. Lillie absolutely ADORED the snow. It was a bit too cold for me =)
