Who doesn't love a compliment?

It makes your day, all day. That is what I want Matilda Jane Clothing
to do, make the girl smile from ear to ear. I want her to love what she
is wearing and be proud of how she looks. I want Matilda Jane to
showcase the sweetness of the child. I try to keep the silhouettes
simple for that reason, it’s not about the fancy embroidery, it is
about the darling girl wearing it. I want your little girl not to fight
with you on what to wear, I want her to be comfortable and I want her
to be happy! And that is it.

Room Keys!

Monday, February 22, 2010 Posted in Hammond Bay 2010

And a little key tag. I’ve gotta tell you the backstory first. David and I were in Nebraska wasting time in a thrift store. I found an old Howard Johnson Key Tag. It was one of the cutest things I had seen in a long time. I bought it. I kept looking at it and finally realized I needed more. I really didn’t feel like collecting them so I made them. And the best part is, I made them for you.

The girls will put them in every Hammond Bay order while supplies last. Love it, enjoy it and most importantly save it. I will be randomly posting numbers on my blog. If you number is posted simply email us with a photo of your key tag somewhere cool and we’ll in turn send you something cool.

March 2, 2010 - 3:49 pm Mandy - YEAH, YEAH!!! I just got my order & I got one!!! I LOVE it, adorable! LOVE my order even more, this is some of the BEST stuff yet! Thank you, Denise! :)

March 2, 2010 - 2:01 pm Amy Evans - Love love love hammond bay!!!!!!! And my key!

March 1, 2010 - 12:14 pm shannon - Made my day that this order arrived.....hmmmm.... do we wear this to practice tonight just to show off the new line???? Everything is so perfect OOOOHHHH the Raven skirt ROCKS!!!! AND a key tag too!!! And I think the coolest place for the key tag is in my hand! :)

March 1, 2010 - 5:48 am Sharon Schneider. - Took the family out yesterday to run some errands. Ashley (2 1/2) was proudly wearing her Raven Skirt, Dance Me Silly tank and Mossy Willow. I am not exaggerating when I say it took us at least 45 minutes longer to get through Costco than it would have because we were stopped by soooo many people commenting on her gorgeous clothes. I lost track at how many times I gave out your website and explained "trunk keepers". Of course my little fashion model was more than happy to stop and twirl for everyone who was interested, and even some who weren't. She literally would say to people passing us, "do you see my skirt?". Anyway, thought this story was too cute not to share. Thanks Denise for continually designing and creating such gorgeous clothing!

February 27, 2010 - 5:32 pm Michelle - I love that her little boy has long hair. My Jase has the same hair and he gets called a girl a lot. He's 3 and won't even let us talk about cutting it.

February 26, 2010 - 9:57 pm megg - Woot! Got my key today! So excited to see how this goes, looking forward to seeing where the keys end up.

February 26, 2010 - 4:40 pm Katelyn's Mommy - Makes me smile just knowing some people are getting their orders. Can't wait to see mine! Thanks Denise and the MJ staff for working so hard. :-)

February 26, 2010 - 12:59 pm saoirse's mom - oh my! i've never been so excited to see my ups man! (well except for when sparkletown and gypsy blue came out!) anyway, my hammond bay order arrived today!!! everything is beautiful!!! can't wait to go home and try everything on both my daughter and myself! and keeping my fingers crossed that my second order arrives early next week!

February 26, 2010 - 10:53 am Elizabeth Raetz - Got my room key and clothes last night...my daughter couldn't wait to get the "Dance Yourself Silly" tank on! The vivid colors and unique designs receive compliments whenever she wears your clothing...thank you!!!

February 25, 2010 - 4:52 pm *Twinkle*Toes* - You girls @ Matilda Jane are the best!!!!! You made my friends day! I can't believe your generosity!!! AMAZING

February 24, 2010 - 3:59 pm Ali - So excited for my order to arrive (hopefully, with a cool green key)!

February 24, 2010 - 1:59 pm Sharon Schneider. - Denise - you continually out do yourself! This line is gorgeous!!!!!!! Our order just came today, key tag and all. My 2-1/2 year old got excited just seeing the box (yes, she already knows the MJ label ~ lol). Once opened, she immediately ripped off her clothes and started trying on all her new things, saying "it's so beautiful", over and over again. Thanks for adding some sunshine into our day in this otherwise, cold and gray Michigan winter.

February 24, 2010 - 1:01 pm Jennifer Knobloch - I can't wait to get my "key"! You guys are doing such cool things right now to add hype to this new line (as if we all needed it!!). Thanks for all that you do! : ) Jennifer

February 24, 2010 - 12:56 pm gran - Sending a big thank you to all of you who are working to get the Matilda Jane packages out!!! Your work is so appreciated.

February 24, 2010 - 12:46 pm Jessica Johnson - Very Cool Can't wait. Places are running through my mind!

February 24, 2010 - 11:19 am gina stinnett - i can only imagine the smiling faces of those who place the key in each order. what a great joy it must be to pack mj orders, knowing the recipient is going to adore her new matilda jane. this being said by one who loves wrapping the gift most; i smile as i imagine the receiver opening it. oh, and i love this game of tag.

February 24, 2010 - 8:25 am Kath - Hi Denise! Do you watch American Idol? You turned me on to Ingrid Michaelson, "The Way I Am." Last night, one of my early favorites Didi sang it. I felt like my worlds collided! "Why don't YOU go back to the courtyard?" Kath

February 23, 2010 - 11:46 pm Rach- drama queen's mommy - oh I am doing a little happy dance now..2 weeks from order date!! WOWZA! YAY! I can't wait! I think I placed 4 orders within a week period. i hope at least one of them gets a room key. Kyles will go nuts!!

February 23, 2010 - 7:48 pm Day to the Oh - I love this whole key tag thing, Denise! Although I don't think I was one of the first 4500 orders, I will keep the force with me that by some hallelujah miracle I get one in my order! ;) (Maybe blog stalkers can get priority he-he) Kassidy's favorite color is green so she can't wait to hopefully get her hands on one--we're thinking on a ball chain with a couple cute blingy baubles with it. peace.

February 23, 2010 - 6:14 pm Kim - Too cool! I remember the old Howard Johnsons' here in Omaha. Such a small world. Can't wait fo all the fun!

February 23, 2010 - 6:05 pm Lil - How cool would it be to get the # 4351?? 435 well we all know and 1 for being #1 :) woo-hoo!

February 23, 2010 - 6:01 pm Sandi - Very Cool.

February 23, 2010 - 4:40 pm Beautifulclothing - How about putting it on a key chain!

February 23, 2010 - 3:10 pm Tatum - Carollynn--- I think that's a cool idea to put it on a necklace...takes me back to the grunge days! I think it would be cool on a bath-tub drain chain, ya know what I mean? Or freshwater pearls if ya want to be fancy :)Rock on!

February 23, 2010 - 2:56 pm Darlene Burchfield - Thanks Denise! Response much appreciated... I can't imagine how crazy it must be there right now! If I were closer I'd come help too! Me & my four girls:0)

February 23, 2010 - 12:34 pm Emily M - my fingers are crossed that when my package arrives it has a key in it!!!!!

February 23, 2010 - 11:39 am Denise - Darlene- If all goes as planned, and it seems to be, orders will start arriving within 2 weeks form date the order was submitted! It's crazy, I pull into work and there's like 15+ cars..surreal
