And my Favorite?

Look at my sweet girl! She keeps talking about Joe…I’m afraid Gabe may be out of the picture…poor Gabe…lucky Joe…lol!

two posts down- that should have said SuBway Guru

I’m wondering if your favorite store to shop for YOURSELF is Anthropologie? It’s mine and since I love MJ so much I’m betting you’re an Anthro girl too? ;]

your thing about MJC? getting to see all the pictures of our cuties in your designs.

Just checking in after watching the Olympics. Did you know that watching the Olympics reminded me of you, because I met a dear friend from Switzerland because of you/MJC? Making friends must be your favorite. After all that’s been said, I think it’s safe to say your favorite is LIFE as you know it… all these little, yet profound things that make it so lovely. Night. xoxo

Let’s go with your favorite Disney ride…hmmmm… maybe the Carousel of Progress…or is it Space Mountain. That’s a tough pick. Now I’m curious which one’s your fave…

I’m sure you have a lot of favorites. But one of your most favorite, must be hearing about the joy YOU give a little girl and her family by them getting a totally unexpected package in the mail when everything else in the world is going wrong for them.

Oh and I can’t forget Anne Tirey made and makes some of your favorite paintings!

Eva Zeisel is one of your favorites!

Your favorites are your family, lots of color and pattern, MJC. the MJC girls and guys, your trunk keepers, diet coke, McDonalds, target, LOST, photography, Lakers hockey, designing and creating, collecting, vintage style collectibles and clothing, retro and modern style furniture and accessories, Goliath, your new kitty, art fairs, and making little girls happy, just to name a few.

My wife says you like furniture from Room & Board.

My guess would be your favorite is your loving customers that spend all thier husbands fantasy football winnings on your clothes that all 3 of my lovely ladies LOVE to wear! My words each relese “So how much is this going to cost me?”

I would have to say you seem to have a lot of favorite things..like most of us But I will say…Diet Coke, old suitcases, pictures..old & new..Love the new line!! it is amazing!!

Gosh, so many have been posted in the past. I am going with…

Favorite Drink – a tie between Diet Coke and wine

Hmmmm, the first things that come to mind are (of course) Diet Coke, the Lakers, being CREATIVE, LOST, photography, your trunk keepers, and most importantly, LIFE!!

I already posted but my comment is gone:(
Here are my guesses for your favs:
1. The sound of your boys laughing
2. The wonderful memories of your grandmother and goliath and
the new memories your making with Sam the kitty
3. Being able to look at where Matilda Jane started and where
it is now….a company that creates the most beautiful
and unique clothes evers!!
4. All the ladies of Matilda Jane….they keep you going…and
all your fans….YOU HAVE LOTS OF THEM….YOU ARE AMAZING.
5. A snow day with your family
6. A nice COLD Diet Coke while watching Lost with your family and blogging….coming up with awesome contests for all us ladies and some guys(that us wives force them) to try and win.
7. Photography…I can tell this based upon past blog posts
8. COOL furniture….I wish you still made furniture…I bet it was way Cool and Funky!!
Ok, here are all my guesses!!

Your fave…the house that you so desperately want and need….any news on that lately??!!

Okay. I just can’t stop thinking about your favorite things, ’cause well, so many of them are mine too, so it’s a happy thinking day! Anyway, all your memories are your faves too–Center Street girls, your YeLlow Easter dress, days at your grandmother’s. I know you love to GOOGLE, you love Chris, Lynette, Sam, Sara and ALL those awesome photogs out there, chubby baby legs, cutting knives, and piles of cut fabric. Most of all, I think your faves are being INsPiRED, CreAtiNg, SPREADING the L-O-V-E, and MAKING someone SMILE, especially little girls. p.s. congrats on the Taco Bell cup-that’s hilariously fabulous! OK. I’ll SHOOSH now.

Your ever growing, exciting, and expanding business.

Chocolate Chip Cookies, Artwork, Naps, Hubby & Boys, Suitcases, Laker Hockey, Target, and Sharing the MJ Love!

Hope I’m not too late. I think your favorite thing is to open an inbox full of praise and love for one of the great loves of your life…Matilda Jane!

I’m going out on a limb here, but I’ll say your favorite soda is a Diet Coke from McDonald’s!!! LOL

Your favorite is seeing your amazing dreams come true life in your company, all while still being able to be a wonderful wife and mother

Your favorite place to relax are those steps in front of the Plymouth post office right behind your booth during Art in the Park (Not that there’s much time for sitting & relaxing, I’m just saying…)

Favorites = Family, Friends, Laker Hockey, Photography, Movies, Books, Lost, Target, Diet Coke (from McDonald’s), Northern Michigan, Farmer’s Markets and Working Out (just kidding – I hate it too.)

I think one of your favorite things is when you hear how happy you make people with your beautiful clothes. Also, Target, because who doesn’t love Target!

I forgot to add that your favorite lately is bread boxes with no bread becasue your hubby likes to keep it in the fridge!
Jessica

your FAVORITE JOB- Being a mother to the two most beautiful, sweet, wild, creative, surprising, heart-breaking, tender, forgiving, intelligent BOYS that you’ve EVER MET(besides your other HALF

Your favorite things- tomatoes and basil from the farmers market, snow, suitcases, and buttons.

I am a mommy of two and one of my favorite feelings is the way my daughters hands feels in mine. I love holding their hands when we walk. One on each side. Since you are a mama too, I thought a favorite feeling of yours might be one of your sons hands in yours.

I would guess sketching new clothes and playing with fun new fabrics! Being able to just create and have fun with new creative combinations!

Erina wanted to play, but didn’t have time to enter before school . She said your favorite things are buttons, pretty notebooks, the little blue bird, the sweet police and giving surprises.

I think your favorite should be a day (or many days) when you don’t have to deal with the dramas of running a business. A day when you can just sit back and enjoy the pure simplicity of the joy and bliss that we feel when we open one of your packages. It’s the same giddiness that I felt when I saw Taylor Lautner with his shirt off in New Moon. (or even better, when he finally turned 18 yesterday, so I could wipe away the guilt for lusting after someone so young)

I’m going to say Zac Efron! Are we to old for him to be our favorite..bc he is way too cute, to be x’d off the list!! LOL!

Fron one die-har “Diet Coker” to another….DC has to rank way up there, along with fabric, all of your boys (hubby included!),
and MJC, of course.
Diet Coke rules!!! Love it, Gotta have it!!!!!

From one die-hard “diet coker” to another….Diet Coke has to rank way up there, fabric, and of course, all your boys (hubby inclulded!), and MJC!
Diet Coke Rules!!!! Love it, gotta have it!

denise i think your favorite thing to do is sharing the love among your family, friends, and fans of mjc. through all the craze in the past few weeks you made time for your sweet boys, david, your gram, hockey games, hammond bay, and making a lovely sweet gift for my daughters that will be cherished forever. if your favorite thing wasnt sharing the love these accomplishments would not have been possible, thank you:) now for a fun note i think your favorite decade was the 80′s with pegged jeans, neon paintsplashes, duran duran, mtv, and hanging with your girls. i love the throwbacks you use like the legwarmers in past seasons and now layla lace…..well that dress would make madonna proud!

When your children snuggle up and say, “I love you mom” & I didn’t have to say it first!

hmmmmm.. there are so many, and MCJ has become my favourite in the past year!! so trying to remember all your postings from past tell me your fav’s would be family, MJC family, McDonald’s, Kinkos, walmart a great camera or a great photographer, fabric, fabric, fabric, colourful fabric, books a great hotel, funky bread boxes, the famous barbershop painting (David! Valentine’s day is almost here and that would be a great gift), Christmas, PHoTo LoVe and of course Hammond Bay!!

My favs right now are spaghetti, diet coke, funny valentines, sunshine and of course MJC.

We all know how much you love all of the men in your life and your McyD’s Diet Coke…So I am going with the less obvious…THE BREADBOX!!!! BTW, growing up with my grandparents in the house next door will always be a favorite of mine as well:) ALSO,I love seeing the rawness behind how Lovely Bird came about…reminds me of song writing!

Ahh, how could I have forgotten about Anthropologie, the holy grail of my closet! The Cher dress lookes just like something out of the catalogue, LOVE IT!!! I have a 15% off coupon from there for my Birthday waiting to be used, and I got it in the mail right after I complained to my husband that, that is the only store that never has coupons.

Being able to do what you love!!!
(Which, of course, includes MJC and being a wife and mom:)

Wait! I forgot a couple very important things…
STAR WARS and the EYE of the TIGER!!! I don’t think anyone mentioned THE FORCE yet!!! You love PIEcinG things together, pottery, fabric paper dolls, elephants, suitcases, button pins, GiViNg, painting furniture, RoAd Trips, One Lucky Guitar, Yummy smells like your clothing, the man in brown, and all those cool paintings by that Anne lady!!! Oh, and what about stacks and stacks of beautifully folded fabric. Mmmmmm…

I know STAR WARS is David’s Favorite!!!!!

The obvious? your loved ones and your must have? Diet Coke from McDonalds.. in clothing??? comfort with style!

Oh, I’ve missed you too!!!
Besides raindrops on roses and whiskers on Sam the kitten, some of your faves are:

Speaking of teeth; you love JOE”S TooTHy grin, cuddles with your boys, things that Gabe says, Sara Brown, ART FAIR days, meeting cool peops at Art Fairs, the Lakers, CHARITY, oreos, that oh, so LOVELY house next door, your grandmother and her house that you practically grew up in, Anthro, having fresh flowers in your house (stock), squirty cheese, your FISH EyE lenS, and of course all your MJ GANGSTA friends!!! I could go on and on… oh wait you love doing that too!!!

I am going to say that your favorite thing is all the different beautiful fabrics you get to work with and choose from. I thought I would go with something a little different!

At one time I think you had mentioned on your blog how you love anthropologie and I remember because I love it to!!

Perhaps seeing the first little happy crocus flowers peak their blossom heads out of the awakening earth of Springtime! Soon!

Watching your boys sleep I know is one, photography and diet coke as well…

Hockey and Sara Brown!!!

One of your favorite things is that ultra modern house you are hoping to get down the street. I hope you were able to work out all of the paperwork and will be the proud owner soon, if not already! I’m also guessing that the neighborhood you grew up in and all of those awesome friends you talk about are another one of your favorites.

Spring!

Reading “The Chronicles of Windy Ridge” and looking at all of Jen’s gorgeous pictures of her family!

I think your favorite thing is McDonald’s diet Coke!!! I mean really, I think they put some secret ingredient in their fountain Coke. Why else is it so much better?!?

Id say you love Micky D’s Diet coke! Nothing better than that fountain stuff.

Your favorite hobby? Photography, Your favorite job? designing awesome clothing for pint size princesses : ) and their mommies. Your favorite thing to do away from work? Spend time with your boys.
By the way when I was pregnant with my daughter my son told me he wanted a little brother like Ashlee(my niece who is very girlie)

I’m going to go out on a limb and say one of your favorites is your oldest and dearest friend “Pepper”, after whom you named the Pepper Knot Dress! Happy Friday!

thought of a few more
M&M’s (the candy and my kids)
buttons
ribbon
the flower named stock
little cherry tomatoes
anne tirey
paper dolls
the farmer down the road
little debbies
books
hot cinnimon sunset tea
target
your first jo at the speedway gas station

ABBA!!!! Mamma Mia, here I go again… my my, how can I resist you!!!

pina coladas and gettin caught in the rain…

your favorite? well I know something you probably want as wel huh??

how about a canon eos-1D??? lord know how much I want one…..even a 5od would be nice!

My guess is Santa Claus/Christmas! You love children obviously to devote what you do and both the holiday and your clothes show the sweetness of a child at their best!

Okay your favorite … mmmmm your boys, diet coke, homegrown 08, a new song from go dog go- Friends, ggod times, good photos, fav saying for a not-so-nice- hotel “dumpy junk”….mmmm Lol Darlene.

Your favorite dog~~ Goliath! And Gramma too!

Besides the obvious things you have shared in your blog, one of your favorite things has to be that you get create clothing that is not ordinary. It is not just a shirt, a skirt, shorts, capris, or a pair of pants. It is a Dance Silly Tank, a Raven Skirt, a Hello Shortie, a Kimmie Straightee, and a Stephanie Big Ruffle that my girl loves to wear.

Hhhmmmm…. Maybe being fortunate enough to give away such awesome stuff!!! Karma for you must be wonderful:-)

having all your new orders sent off, your boys tucked in bed and a glass of wine in your hand. Ahhhhhhhh

I love Diet Coke too and all we eat is organic, whole-from scratch-everything! =) My favorite moment would be reading all the comments on how everyone *LOVED* the things I created and that feeling of when you accomplished something successfully and can reap the rewards of making others happy, only to tomorrow go back and work on the next thing. That is what I love, maybe you do too! I didn’t read all the comments yet… not sure if anyone else said that too. I don’t think you can give that away… although if someone had some MJ clothing to put on their daughter, they would experience that feeling just a bit! =) Maybe it’s the Lovely Bird Dress you featured here and seeing a little girl enjoying it, all part of the accomplishment.

Target and Diet Coke. Don’t you love driving your cart down the aisles while sipping a McD diet coke!

Your favorite thing is that moment of pure satisfaction and joy you feel when you know you have just created/sketched/dreamed up a piece that you know a little girl will love, that is completely charming and a total winner…that little solitary moment of pride within yourself.

Diet coke must be a favorite drink…of course I remember that because I live in a world of mommies who would not DARE drink Diet Coke (because of the additives, etc.) so when I go to the park…I hide it as I feed my children organic apples.

Diet COKE =)

After following your blog for quite a while, I would have to say some of your favorites are: diet coke from McDonalds, Oreos, Your memories of Goliath, the Barber shop painting you still long for, Your beautiful mighty acorns who smile so beautifully that you wish would never grow older, your wish list from Room and Board, your love for photography, suitcases, Target, probably that new fall line you are working on. You have so many favorite things, I could never list them all. I am just glad you choose us to share them with.

Denise, I bet your favorite season is Spring. You are so bright, so colorful, and so darn hopeful. To me those things all encompass Spring. I myself am a Fall lover, but only because I love the smell wood fires, dropping leaves, and cooler air…and I really hate long, hot summers .

Well, the first thing that popped into my head was “diet coke.” But it looks like I’m not the only one who thinks that’s your fav. drink.

I missed posting last night but I wanted to share that my fav HB outfit is for sure the Wendy Tiered Dress and I’m going to try it with the Perry Big Ruffles. I’m loving so much that it’s really hard to narrow down what I want this season!

How about a favourite being the Olympics starting tomorrow here in my backyard? Yeah Canada!

How about a favorite pen or a blanket? I am a BIG blanket girl here in the Midwest winters, and I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be!!

Your favorite…color? Hmmm…floral? Is that a color? I remember having to interview my Mom when I was in elementary school and one of the questions was “what is her favorite color?” My mom answered, “plaid”. And I was SO upset because she was “cheating” and she wouldn’t pick just one color. I eventually wrote down “plaid” and my teacher just laughed. I think yours is “granny florals”…LOVE THAT. Nothing better than a floral that looks like it was once a pair of bedroom curtains in my opinion!!!

Jenn

Wow, I am not sure I know you well enough to guess your favorites.. so with that being said, I will guess that your favorite things are being a mother to two wonderful boys and having a diet coke every once in a while is not so bad either!

Your favorite dress is the Ginger Knot but now the Pepper Knot is a new favorite. Named after one of your favorite friends Pepper!!! And of course everyone knows you love diet coke and it is your favorite drink!

My guess? Let’s see family is always #1 and your dedicated and loyal fans! Fingers crossed

I would have to say that watching the kids as they sleep in peaceful dreams would be most mom’s favorite. (no matter how long it took to get them to bed )

I forgot to add one of your favorites! I think Diet coke, coffee from McDonald’s and, besides MJ, Paper Lili shirts.

I totally get delivering the valentines on time!!! I sat in the parking lot of Walgreens addressing my daughters 25 min before preschool today! We’ve been snowed in and I hadn’t been to store to get them!!!

Okay, I have to get in on this, even if I am not eligible to win.:) Your favorite thing is scoring a sweet find at the Salvation Army! I still love my vintage light blue suitcase. Gotta love the oldies but goodies!

ohhh…..and where are those sandals from that that girl is wearing in the adult linen picnic dress?!?! Those are MY new favorite!!!

diet coke, target, your sweet family, the people you work with, Lost…those are just some of what I have gathered from reading your posts. Hmmm….what MJ outfit is your favorite from this line???

Mickey “D’s” Diet Coke!!

Your favorite TIME OF DAY: In the evening, when you go to tuck in your boys after they’ve fall asleep…don’t we all just love them to pieces when they’re peacefully asleep after another crazy whirlwind of a day!

Your favorites things are modern furniture, vintage clothing, family, and Matilda Jane!

your favorite reisling is RELAX! still on my list to try!

Favorite dessert? CUPCAKES…how could that not be right?!

David, Gabe and Joe, learning to take pictures, hockey, decorating at Christmas, breadboxes, painting, that house down the street that you have been trying to buy, northern Michigan(me too)and your nieces and nephews…should I go on??!!!

well i would have to say that looking back and refelcting on things from your your life witch would in include your kids hubby mjc girls would have to be a fav because those are things in life that make you HAPPY and inspire you and make you who you are! ……..also the barber shop painting i would have to say is a fav of yours.

Wow! It looks like these girls have so many of them covered! What is it about McDonald’s diet coke? I think people everywhere agree on that one! Whitley Kate would say your fave movie is Matilda LOL! Your handsome little boys are definitely among your faves…what is it with little boys and their mommies? My oldest still holds my hand, and he’s 13! You love Paperlili, and I’m glad you shared that! You love the art fairs, and all of the unique goodies you would go home with! Have a great night!

Yes, definitely Lost and Diet Cokes….your sweet, sweet boys, all your Trunk Keepers and I’d have to say being extravagantly generous is one of your favorite things because you do it all the time!!

Favorites, hmmm…I’m certain Diet Coke from McDonald’s is somewhere on that list. I read/ heard somewhere that Mcd has a patent on their syrup/ carbonated water ratio and that the diameter of their straws optimize the mixture somehow. Anyways, I digress but I thought you would find the fun fact-ish comment. Don’t you love when there is someone out there says something so silly you giggle and think to yourself, “Wow, I’m not the only one without a filter!”.

Joe–Your favorite boy whose smile lights up a room

Your favorite things are doing kind things for others, boys, diet coke and hockey. I am sure there are more but just a guess.

Oh, and photography!!! Must be a favorite!!! How could I forget? Lightroom must be your favorite editing program…

I think one of your favorite things is to tell cute stories about your little guys (that’s my favorite thing too ). If your anything like me your favorite time of day is right before the kids fall asleep, after baths and books but before they drift off. That is when they love to snuggle up and talk (and I usually end up falling asleep with them lol).

rum and Diet Coke…..your favorite cocktail.

Photography is your favorite hobby.

Your sweet sweet boys (of course your hubby is included)…

favs: family, especially the mighty acorns. diet coke, winter sports, doing what you love at the 435, your 92 strong MJ trunk keepers.

Awww, I miss the days when the first poster won a prize, lol. Of course, if that was the case, I would never be first… just the way life goes!

Ok, first things that popped in my mind that you didn’t list already:

Then there is Diet Coke which you mentioned but you like it better with a little Captain Morgan.
Target- I was there tonight in fact.
Beatles (did you ever watch the concert or cartoons?)
taking pictures (which you are fabulous at but you don’t realize your own fabulosity.
Lost- who DOESN’T like this show (Did you realize they talked about buidling the runway that the 2nd plane landed on in season 2?) Amazing what you discover if you go back and watch the old episodes.
Creating things.

How many am I supposed to list?

Modern chic furniture, gosh, I wish I could afford it too. Your family, photography(you are a woman of many talents), and peace and quiet, I’m not so sure about the last one, but I know I love it when I get it:).
