What a crazy Friday this has been! I’m pretty sure that this is just how it is going to be in the upcoming month. Art Fair is rapidly approaching! Can you believe it? How exciting right? We have been so busy buttoning, ironing, and hanging . We’ve also starting organizing items for the move. It’s crazy, having two huge projects looming before you.
Denise and Sam are headed to Michigan for a fall photo shoot, Lauren is working on Platinum items for the Platinum Pass, Desi is organizing Good Luck Trunk for the move, and I’m doing customer service for Platinum and TGO. That is why this is going to be short and sweet, but I did want to Blog and say Hi from 435 and 433!

So Hi! I hope all of you are having as nice of weather as we are here today. 83 and sunny! We have the Platinum doors propped open, letting the sun shine in!
I forgot to mention how excited I am to have the girls back from Africa on Monday. It has been really strange around here without Kiara. I wish them safe travels as they should already be making their way home.
As celebration for them coming home, how about a Platinum Giveaway!
I will pick one random winner on Monday to score a Platinum pretty. Just leave me a comment!
xoxo

Hello! I just recently discovered your lovely blog and clothing, here in Edmond, Oklahoma! My 5 year Kate, just wore her favorite Serendipity apron dress to her first piano recital last Monday. She did a curtsey in that dress which lasted almost longer than her piano piece! Thanks for helping my girl feel special!

I am so excited to see what new pieces you have in store for everyone!!! My little one has 50+ pieces. I guess we’re kinda obsessed.
Thanks for the update!!!!
My daughter looked so adorable today wearing her Sprinkle Sara top & Mud Pie shorties! I have loved Serendipity and can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Fall! My daughter is always asking when the next trunk show will be. She loves Matilda Jane as much as I do!
Oh how I wish I could attend Art Fair!
Ummm…not sure if my comment is appearing as it says that there was an error. Anyhow, having been to Africa 2 times myself, I can tell you how life changing it is. I can not wait to hear more!! And maybe win a little something pretty 🙂
Wishing everyone a safe return 🙂
Having been to Africa twice (to bring my kiddos home), I know how life changing it can be. I can not wait to hear and see more about the trip!! And would LOVE to win a little something pretty 🙂
Wow! So much going on and such an exciting time! Best of luck on everything! You are all doing such a great job and both my girls and I love your clothing!!
So much going on around there, how exciting {and exhausting, i’m sure}

Awesome! What a bunch of great things happening all at once 🙂
ohhhh pick me! pick me! pick me! 🙂
Would love to win!!
Ever since one of my great friends Chrissy Liberati became a trunk keeper, my daughter Mary and I have been hooked! She is a wonderful little six year old and when I put her in her Matilda Jane clothes I notice a spring in her step. I love the clothes and the sense of confidence I see in my little girl when she wears them. Thanks Chrissy for introducing me to these great clothes and always keeping me up to date with all of the new ones that come out. You rock!! As my daughter says and I quote “Matilda Jane cuteness!”
Love hearing updates on their travels and wish I could attend Art Fair, but alas, I will have to dream about all the pretties :). Alot happening at MJ!!
I can’t wait!! My girls look so amazing in their pretties! We get such wonderful compliments when they are wearing their MJ!
After planting flowers all day, I am “relaxing” on the computer. I thought I was busy until I read your blog! I am a grandma and am enjoying buying my granddaughter Lula the most beautiful pieces from Matilda Jane. I had two boys, so I am really enjoying it! Flowers, ruffles, lace–can’t get enough! Keep the creativity coming!!
And enjoy your welcome home party!!!
I cannot imagine packing up to move as well as preparing for Art Fair…I, personally, would lose it under all that stress! I love reading all of your blog posts and the other readers’ comments…truly puts things into perspective for me on many occasions! So thank you for that and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Hoping for some platinum luck on Monday. Thanks for spreading the love!!
Can’t wait to see the fall pretties! I <3 Matilda Jane!
Matilda Jane has made my shy daughter come out of her shell and shine…she now feels confident when standing out. Thank you.
I have never won one of these little giveaways before, but it doesn’t stop me from trying every time! Enjoy the sweet, sunny day!
How exciting that the fall photo shoot is already underway! I can’t wait to see the gorgeousness that is to come! 🙂
eeeek!
only 35 more days. can’t wait.
i so wish i could go to art fair!! 🙂
I never been so excited about shopping, and that’s how I feel about your clothing. I see how much planning and dedication goes into each design to make it very unique. Just like every person that works for MJ is so special to you, it is very special every piece we buy. We become attach to those memories behind every piece a child’s wear. And you become attached to every person that contributes to the image and success of your company.
Sounds like a busy but exciting time for you! Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
Hi Carrie!!!!! :):) we are out for Summer!!!!!! yay!!!Counting the days til Art Fair!!!! Oh- Carson got his Good Ones and LOVES them so much!!!! The shirt I ordered for my hubby to match Carson was too small for his muscles so I took it hehehehe:) Love our MJ and TGO:) (and our girls that run the show!! )
Exciting stuff happening! Strange question (maybe)… is there someone in charge of putting all the pretty things inside the mesh bags? I mean that seems like a huge task!
I sure wish I could jump right into that photo, Mary Poppins-style…it looks like such a cheery, happy place to be! I’d love to be a little worker bee helping to get those racks filled for Art Fair! Have a beautiful weekend!
First comment! That is definitely prizeworthy of a platinum pretty!
You all have so many exciting things to look forward too. I wish I could make it to art fair. Perhaps next year!
Have a fantastic week!
Spring is springing & summer isn’t very far away!
I have izzy in field trip today & she and her brother are keeping things lively, playing music & building dangerous obstacle courses.
Seeing that set up makes me wish even more that the kids & I were able to go to artfair
Yay! Would love to win!
Can’t wait for the next line! My youngest daughter is just turning one and is just starting to fit into some MJC stuff! I would love to win a Platinum Pretty 🙂

Have a great weekend!
Looking forward to the art fair in a few weeks!!! You all do amazing work!
I am so excited to attend ArtFair for the second time, this year. It will be my 8 year old daughter’s 1st visit and she can’t wait!!!
Just a comment………….So excited to hear from the African trip! So excited to see pictures of the Art Fair and so happy for all of you when the move is finished!! Wishing I could be there and help.
Thank you for the chance to win. Hope everyone travels safely!
Looks really fun and festive even without the clothes on the racks.
We love MJC!!! 🙂
Oh, i would give anything just to walk through 435 and 433 and admire all of the beauties!
We would love to get a Platinum pretty. Wishing them safe travels home.
I already can’t wait to see the new fall line!
Welcome back home ladies! Can’t wait to hear about Africa and I most certainly cannot wait to see all the beautiful treats y’all have in store! I am so hoping that I can come to AF because I absolutely LOVE MJ. Have a great weekend!
I have been saving and spreading out when I give my girls a new MJ item instead of giving them all to them at once. We would love a surprise of a new item!
Wish I were coming to Indy this summer :-/ Its gonna be weird not being there.
Things are looking great for Art Fair. Sure wish I could be there. : (
Can’t wait for art fair! 🙂

Ellen Jeffers

Very exciting! Making my first trip up to Art Fair next month, can’t wait!
Art Fair must be exciting!
Sunny and in the 70’s here, ahhh… glorious summer! Kiara is going to have so many stories to share, can’t wait to see some of them on the blog. Prepare to have your ear talked off!
I am not a huge fan for Mondays but it looks like I will be this coming Monday! Welocome Home Ladies!

Can’t wait to hear the stories from the girls trip to Africa! Loving the gorgeous sunshine here too!
Oooh, love the bags!! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Happy Friday from a fellow Indiana girl! Loving this weather and would love a little platinum surprise since I won’t make it to the art fair this summer.
Showing MJC some LOVE!!!! 🙂
I am so excited for a giveaway! I never win anything! PLUS- I don’t have nay platinum yet, so pick me!!
Happy Friday Girls!
Change is a happening! Can’t wait to see what surprises y’all have in store for Art Fair. And another move….it’s like Christmas all year long<3 Have a blessed weekend.
My sister found MJ yesterday, called me today, and we’ve already created extensive wishlists that we are comparing and planning to order this weekend. I love the prints and combinations – can’t wait to see my girls wear their new outfits!!
I hope you all find some downtime this weekend. My daughter is recovering from a tonsilectomy and just felt well enough to try on our first ever piece of Platinum that I was so excited to get at the beginning of May (and the perfect size too!). Even though she’s been more subdued and has been laying around the house, all she wanted to do is twirl! It was great to see her grin from ear to ear again. This dress was made for her! If she’d hold still I’d take a pic. Thanks for putting a smile on her face!
I *dream* about Art Fair! Maybe someday my girls and I will make a road trip. Enjoy the prep!
I thought this might be my best chance at scoring a Plat piece! Have a great weekend 🙂
I miss you Platinum, come back soon.
Oooh, I would love the chance for a Platinum pretty. Thank you 🙂
What an exciting time for MJ!!!! 🙂
Have a wonderful day!!!:)
What a great giveaway, thanks for a chance to win!! Have a great weekend!!
Can’t wait! Thanks!
Thanks for everything you do for us! Love!
Welcome home ladies.
Good luck with the frenzy of excitement around there. I am getting ready to relax as the school year comes to an end next week. Summer Break!!
Good luck with the frenzy of excitement around there.
Hey I have yet to score a pretty from the ever so elusive Platinum and my daugther, Reeselynn Marie, I know would just LOVE to have something amazing!!! So be sure to PICK ME, PICK ME!!! haha
Oh, I hope everything on the horizon goes smoothly for you ladies! Wish I could go to AF, but the DH’s cousin is getting married. The free booze almost makes up for it 😉
Oh me, me, me…today’s my birthday!!!
Sunny weather here in Pittsburgh. Can’t wait for summer break.
Thanks for all of your passion for unpredictable clothing for our sweet new baby girl!
Happy weekend!! I can’t wait for AF =)!!!
Hi Carrie – Great photo! I love that some of the bags have the fabric with the telephones on them…that fabric rocks! Enjoy your weekend with your family. 🙂
We love your clothing line!! Can’t wait to see what you have come up with for the next collection 🙂
I am exhausted just THINKING about all you ladies are trying to accomplish in a short period of time. I envy your work environment so much, though. Just being surrounded by beautiful fabrics and beautiful friends all day must be the best job in the world.
You girls sure are busy! All your hard work pays off through amazing clothing that I can’t get enough of. 🙂
What a busy and exciting time for all of you!!!
Enjoy the weather! We sure are!
I hope everyone has safe travels!! Have a great weekend Matilda Jane gals!
Okay I’ll be honest. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Matilda Jane. I was browsing through the internet (specifically ebay) and I saw one of your dresses being sold there. So I immediately googled your site and VOILA! I saw your dresses and clothing line and I was like WOW! These would be perfect for my 4 year old girl who loves dressing up. She tells me everyday she’s a princess and loves to wear dresses. Your dresses are perfect and unique and she’ll totally love it. I’ll show it to my hubby later. 🙂 Keep up the good job and keep the unique and fun and pretty dresses you’re making. 🙂
Happy Friday, MJC! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Art Fair is looking great!
Love the Just for Janes items. What a wonderful idea! Thank you.
Platinum Pretty! 🙂 Oh how I just love those pieces! Our funds are low so we are not able to get much if any. I have ordered one piece from platinum and that was several years ago. I just love how special my little girl feels when she wears Matilda Jane. She feels beautiful! I love the uniqueness! Welcome home girls! I bet it was an experience to remember. It has been so nice here with the weather sunny and warm so we have been enjoying it! Welcome Summer! Have a great weekend Carrie and MJ crew!
I never win, but I will leave a comment just in case. : )
Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for the chance to win something fun. 🙂
i hope you have a fun, fabulous & BLESSED week-end! ta-ta!
You totally Rock! Thanks for all your hard work:) also enjoy your weekend:)
My brother just recently returned from Africa! We love his stories!
Wishing you the best of luck at this hectic, crazy, exciting time. Next year I will be there for Art Fair! p.s….keep up the amazing work!!!!!!
<3, Kathy S
WELCOME HOME FROM AFRICA!!!!
Cannot wait for the girls to get back and to hear all about their trip … safe travels!
Just seeing this picture gets me soo excited for next month. I seriously cant wait, and have started a countdown with my friends 🙂 5 weeks from today if anyone was wondering lol!
Happy Friday!
That sounds just like our day here – beautiful, getting hot, and always busy. 🙂
Happy weekend!! I’m very excited about AF. 🙂
Hi Carrie, I live in Indiana too so I think we Hoosiers REALLY appreciate beautiful weather in Spring! I’m sitting in my office and while I should be working (does anything really get done after 4:00 on a Friday?)I’m actually enjoying the sunshine and the breeze coming through the windows (and of course browsing MJC.com). I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Pick me!! Please 🙂 I could use a spot of sunshine on a cloudy day.
So excited to hear all about their travels and see their beautiful pictures-only they will know how truly amazing Africa was to them…but their love and kindness to Africa shared with others will hopefully promote others to travel to such an amazing Country.
Since going to Africa, I think of it every day. 🙂
