In The Shop | Denim Half Circle Skirt + upcoming summer line

Now in the Shop - the custom Denim Half Circle Skirt!
This really is the perfect everyday denim skirt staple - I wear one of mine at least four days a week.  It can go anywhere, and yes, pretty much do anything!  For a Farmgirl, that includes quite a bit... :grin:

But the exciting part?  I've been working night and day on a new Summer Line, which will include a stock of ready-made skirts and muslin petticoats, truly awesome canvas totes, bunting banners galore, and lots of hair accessories.  So stay tuned, and be thinking about the endless possibilities for updating your Summer look in Kellie Falconer Originals! =D

I am planning a full-blown photoshoot for all the lovely things ready to go in the shop, and I put together a Pinterest board for styling ideas.  I am so excited to see how this is starting to come together! I just ordered in some custom fabric labels - pictures of those soon.

Life has been very full and very difficult lately for my family and I, and working on this project has been a sort of lifeline, so to speak.  It's given me something to dream about, work for, press toward.  Helped give me perspective, too - sometimes circumstances come along that make you feel as if you were fighting for bare life, hour by hour, but even in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty, don't forget to live the life you're fighting for.  There's a time for everything, and seasons of rest and seasons of growth are a part of everyone's life.  But life is too short to be always waiting for the right time.  Pursue your dreams, harness them and discover the lessons they hold for you.

The upcoming collection is so much more than new listings in the shop.  It's a victory.  It's a reminder of the truly marvelous grace of Jesus - and the endless blessings this life holds when you pour your heart into something and see it triumph over adversity.

It is well with my soul.

  3. As the owner of one of Kellie's denim skirts in the other style offered, I can say it is A++ quality!! I wear mine all of the time for so many occasions! Denim is that hard working, yet easily made feminine, fabric that keeps on giving and giving, don't you think? If you need a go-to skirt in your closet, I think this cutie is the answer, hands down! And doesn't she style it with the cutest ideas? Love that idea of two Tees together for a splash of color!!

    Excellent thoughts on not sitting around and waiting for the 'right time'.

  7. I can't wait to see your new things! And I hope your photo shoot goes well and as planned!

    And when you were talking about not sitting around waiting for the right time, that really encouraged me to not wait around either. I tend to think I can't open my shop till the right moment. Till I sew just one more dress, till I do this or that -- but I think it is my fear of the unknown that is holding me back -- a sorry excuse to say the least. A very encouraging post for me. Thank you for writing it!
