New PRINTED Collection READ all about it here!!

Introducing our new 

2012 Little Bird Vintage Designs Collection!!!

Lions, Octopus, Birds, Gecko's??? Oh My:)

Our Signature Ava Bird is now in vintage yellow with a shaded heart, absolutely perfect for every bird in your life--including MAMA birds!!!

 Leo the Lion is HOT!  

The Orange and Red coloring is as electrifying as his inspiration--Leonidas, who is 4 going on 5 1/2 these days.  Determined to be the best at everything he attempts.  the greatest thing about our Lion--and there are many--but my favorite is his since of awe and wonder and the way he draws others in to believe along side of him.  I LOVE that face about him :)

Maximus Our Octopus is swimming in new vintage blue 

this year--an instant hit!  Our Octopuses muse, Maximus, is definitely strong and into EVERYTHING!  (he's 2)  He's our gentle giant and we adore him.  At the beginning of 2011 he became a big brother for the very first (and final) time to Kalliope Jude:)  He's such a wonderful sibling and embraces each moment of every day sharing in our daily happenings. 

And introducing our Newest, Final Member to our NEST!  Kalliope our Gecko, for our Spunky and Spirited 

Kalliope Jude! 

We now offer all the DTG print line in Infant (NB) - 5T and our new Youth Collection in XS-XL.  AND soon will offer new Mama and Daddy bird items. 

***This Line is way cooler and more eco and kid friendly than screen print!  The inks used for the design are 100% environment and eco safe and non-toxic.  And rather than peel away, this print will simply fade over time (I usually turn mine inside out when I wash and my color looks fantastic wash after wash after wash), making it 100% kid safe too!***

Come by the shop and take a peak!

Wishing you warmth, Love and Happiness, each day of your life.

Direct to Garment Printing: Just another way we're Greening Up!

A further note on our newest Direct Print Line 

to be debuted soon!!!

Maximus proudly shows off his (100% washable) new line :)

Direct to Garment Printing is Ecologically friendly and safe for the environment, there is very,very little waste and the ink is a stain that is water based.  It is sprayed on like an ink jet printer.
Screen Printing Inks have been known to have heavy metals in them that are not safe for the environment or safe if they come in contact with Children's skin.  There is waste that must be cleaned and flushed once the screen is to no longer be used.
Many Silk Screen Inks inks are petroleum based, and tend to leach carcinogenic chemicals from themselves in small doses.  Many of these chemicals continue to react even when laundered.

My perfect morning...

Maximus and I enjoyed an early morning, monsterous walk this am together :)  

We mailed a package, made a pit stop in the Central Market for a balloon--pictured :)--and then headed to the Broadway Daily Bread for some muffins to enjoy throughout our weekend and lastly, a quick stop at Starbucks for a Grande Latte :)  All the while, enjoying the nice cooler temps, beautifully landscaped homes and the tightness we felt all over--through mommy's body--from the mountain like hills that abound in our San Antonio neighborhood.  My perfect morning:)

Mom's dead...

Overheard Leo and Ava playing "Mommy and Daddy" ~A game I loath because it mainly involves them just whining back and forth for (pretend) Mommy and Daddy~  Leo called out for Mommy (Ava) and Ava's response was, "No, I'm big sister today, mommy's dead remember"... I interjected at this point to inquire why and what happened to mommy?? Their reply, "She jumped off the bridge lasterday (yesterday) into the river and a crocodile ate her up dead." "Why??" "She couldn't handle taking care of us anymore."  And then they went right back to playing. I was floored, and saddened ...

Here's some pics of Leo showing off his new 
DTG print this morning on the way to school.  
Debuting next week for purchase at
