Love Elaine - Now In Hallmark Stores!!!

Yes friends, you read that right!!! Love Elaine is now in Hallmark Stores, 4 of them to be exact, right here in the Richmond area!

So, here's the story. A while ago I hinted that lots of exciting things were starting to happen for Love Elaine, and that one of my business goals for the year had been realized - well this is the big news! March was a SUPER BUSY AND CRAZY MONTH of sewing and working out all of the details. I won't bore you with the crazy fabric stories about my trials and tribulations trying to secure all of the fabric I would need to fulfill the largest wholesale order to date for my 2 and a half years young company, but let me tell you - it was an amazing learning experience and TOTALLY WORTH IT when you walk by a story in the mall and see this:

Yuppers - those are MY APRONS right up front, right as you walk in the front door of the store! Cue the seriously dorky, cheesy smile and possibly a little jig. Please note, this all happened in my head, as I wanted to play it cool, and I just walked in, spent an OBSCENE amount of time at one display, and took photos with my iPhone. That's me, so cool. But really, the Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited was playing in my head, cue the music:




Ok, now back to the aprons. There is even signage along with the display to learn more about Love Elaine along with a photo of yours truly :)

 

In addition to the entire line of full aprons and little girls ruffled aprons, you can also get tea towel sets and potholders that match the aprons! Below is a photo of the full display of items available in each store.

 

So, if you live in Richmond and get a chance, head on over to the Chesterfield Towne Center, Chesterfield Meadows, Gayton Crossings and Shortpump Hallmark Stores. Pick up an apron for Mother's Day or for yourself. Or just GUSH over how much you LOVE the Love Elaine aprons to the store employees - so they'll order more :)

And, I just wanted to take a quick minute before I go to thank my Mom, my Aunt and my Grandma for all of their sewing help - I could have never done it (or continue to run Love Elaine) without them. I also want to thank my friend Christy for taking a chance on a new product line and for being so supportive! Looking forward to lots of exciting things in the future! 

Thanks to you all for continuing to support Love Elaine! It means the world to me!

Spring Aprons Have Sprung

Love Elaine Aqua and Orange Apron

Don't you just LOVE spring? For me, its the promise of warm weather ahead (and not the awful allergies and pollen) that I like to think about. But mostly, Spring is all about flowers, and COLOR! If you love color and flowers like I do, with a twist of vintage/modern style - then you'll love Love Elaine's new Spring Aprons!

I am very excited to introduce our newest design, the full and half tiered aprons! Modern with a vintage twist, it utilizes more fabrics, which for me, always equals more fun!

Sometimes, a simple and sassy half apron is all you need - and this apron does it all with such style in the seasons hottest color - tangerine with my favorite complement, aqua.

So you tell me, which is your favorite?! I am very much loving the Green &  Yellow tiered apron and its modern vintage style - and there is something about yellow that just makes me smile!
