Oh, I shoulda just kept my nose in my book today! But the problem is, I am just starting to read Cutting Stone and I can’t get into it. Anne says stay with it, it is worth it, but man, 2 pages and I’m lost. My mind is so far off. I thought reading would take you to a place, you know let you escape the moment? Ha.not so much.
Today has been a day of craziness. Trying to launch The Good Ones reminds me so much of the early days of Matilda Jane. So many hurdles, so exhausting jumping them all but once you do, the wind is at your back (or for the most part). We’ll get there.
But much more exciting is I cannot stop thinking about Spring 2013. Sam and I started working on fabrics again. I love this time. We sit and relish in color and our dreams for Matilda Jane. I start talking about bedding, and of course chenille bedding coverlets with..dang I can’t say, it’s gotta be top secret for when it does happen and Sam goes on with an accessory line for little girls and then I decide we gotta start doing winter coats and rainboots and the list goes on. We love dreaming. There is so much out there that we have not touched.
Not only would all these things be beautiful but then I think all the ways we could apply them to touch others lives. I mean we already donate a ton of clothing to girls through our Spread the Love Program and to international orphanages but being able to give them cute bedding, and shoes and umbrella and just one big smile. That right there is the best part of the dream.

I am in love with that tank!!
What is that top pictured in the blog photo?
I cannot wait until we see what wonderful ideas you come up with!
sounds great. Can’t wait to see those great ideas.
Anything you do will be amazing!
Oh my goodness, I would be first in line for some MJC bedding!!!
We are dreaming right along with you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE PIECES!!!!!!
the best part about what you do (beside the adorable clothes, charitable work, etc) is that you inspire girls to dream. truly dream. and then MAKE IT HAPPEN. you are a role model for so many. and for that, we thank you.
Looks like a match to TGO on the right-oh this is going to be trouble!
Dream big!! That picture is better (and cheaper) than platinum! Can’t wait for the next release and then spring 2013 too!!
Oooh! Would love a tiered skirt like that for ME! Wonder if I could squeeze into a 12?? heehee
I love both of these outfits!! This sounds like a good time to BEG you to make most if not all your 2013 items up to size 12 tween!! My daughter is only 6 and wears size 8/10. Makes me SO SAD to think she will outgrow MJ by the time she is in second grade
Please Please remember that the little girls that have been wearing MJ for years if not most of their lives have grown up now and need the tween sizes. Thanks!
Chenille….sigh. One of my favorite things in life.
Isabella says the little girl on the left looks like Kiara.
Cutting for Stone took me almost half way through to get into, but then it was really worth it.
This all sounds so great. How about some really cute bathing suits for girls? That would be so fun. Good luck with TGO launch!
Such wonderful ideas! I can’t wait to see them all come to life. I think one of the things I love most about MJ is all the love you show to others. What wonderful hearts you all have there!
Love!!!!
OH MY !!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Don’t forget bathing suits!!
I love that you’re a dreamer, Denise! I am too! My email addy probably makes that obvious.
Chenille bedding? Be still my heart. As you work on next spring pls. think about making more in 10s and 12s. Our little girls who have been wearing MJC for a long time are growing up and not ready to outgrow it yet! My 6 yr old is 54″ tall and in a 10 – yep, she’s a big one!
You make me proud to say that I work for you! You are using your gift for GOOD…and I love it! What an amazing company I get to be a part of. Thank you for your creative mind and giving spirit! Cheers to Matilda Jane and whats to come!
Love the Tank Dress, you girls are amazing!
Love the top & skirt!!!!
Keep dreaming, Denise! Your creative mind is amazing! I hope my 6yo isn’t too old for your bedding line when it makes a debut.
This sneak peak pic is making me want to squirrel away some cash….haha!
Oooo, read Cutting for Stone with my Book club-have to say, didn’t like it at all. Sorry. I kept waiting for it to get better-and i just couldn’t ever get into it. Sorry. All the other ladies liked it though…go figure?
Have you read “Pope Joan?” One of my all time Favorites!!
That would be so great to be able to give bedding..I love that..you should do it!
I love your dreams! And better yet, they are always focused on making other’s dreams come true!!
that looks like a tank dress i guess this is a sneak peak for serndipity 3.
all i can say is matilda jane clothing has the biggest heart…thank u, denise, for your philanthropic spirit. if its true that what comes around, goes around….you will continue to be richly blessed. xo. xo.
A-mazing pieces. I can’t wait for release 3.
xoxo
I know about being busy so I can relate! I haven’t been able to read the blog as much lately because of all the activities my daughter is involved in and the amount of hours I volunteer at her school. I miss reading the blog but at the same time I’m happy to be busy doing things to help my girl and her school. I love these beautiful pieces that are pictured here. So glad I am having a trunk show on April 1st. I love that you and Sam are dreamers and dream up some amazing things. Also love that Serendipity has a lot of floral fabrics. That’s what attracted me to MJ over 3 years ago
LOVE
OMGeeeee….Is that a maxi skirt?!?!? Say it IS!!!!!!
Have been meaning to tell you this for a while now …: How would you feel about writing your own memoir … now, that would make a book I would have a hard time putting down! Your absolutely unmatched creativity, amazing sense of style, generosity, etc., etc. … where did all this come from?, I’ve long wondered. Please add this to your list of things to do (I will wait patiently, I promise)!
Bedding would be SO cute! Love the mix and match sheets and duvets I have now, but would love some cute ones for my girls’ beds!
Everyday I am inspired by all the young women I coach and all the young women I teach. Oftentimes, I get asked the question, “how do you handle it all”. I handle it all by having goals and working towards them. I handle it because I want to. I handle it by trying to be a positive influence in someone else’s life. I handle it with high expectations. I handle it because I have so many to handle. I handle it because I want to, I want to see these young woman become people to inspire others and aspire to be like. I handle it. Proudly!
I just asked my daughter if she liked the soda pop tank, and she said “yeh, if it comes with the top hat!” lol! Love that kid’s perspective!
