I know it looks like I've fallen off the wagon in blogland. I actually have. It's been a nice 6 weeks of catching up on the rest of the world. The non-cyberspace world that is.
Like cleaning out closets, consigning, scrapbooking, potty training 2 new puppies (the most adorable creatures in the world if I do say so myself), house projects that you never want to spend time on, nursing my family through the yucky flu, cooking, cleaning, etc...to say the least.
Shannon and I had decided to take a creative hiatus during the month of January for Vivi. December was very full fulfilling orders right until the week of Christmas. We were overwhelmed with all of your support and want to thank you SO MUCH for an incredible launch for Vivi last fall! We are just so humbled and grateful for the chance to have the freedom to create and see how our pieces inspire others. So again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Since our much needed break, we are already brainstorming with all the new fun pieces that we keep getting in daily, so please keep posted for some new Spring Creations for 2010! So excited!
Hope you are having a wonderful Valentines Day with someone that you love!
xoxo,
Rebekah and Shannon
Each year brings lots of new things. New friends. New memories. New goals. New joys. New tears. New babies. New puppies. *(actually those came for our family on Christmas day).
It also brings a time of reflection. We spent yesterday asking the kids what they were thankful for in 2009, and it began a long talk reviewing some great memories.
Today, we will head with several other families to celebrate our 10th annual New Years Day: lunch, football, eating, kids playing, more eating, kids arguing, adults playing card games, etc... It marks the last decade, as it has tripled in size with all the kids running around. This group has shared some remarkable joys and sorrows.
I'm sure this next decade will look more like ball games, chaperoned dates, and school performances...than diapers, poop and spit up. And even though the teen age years will bring it's own challenges, that's okay with me.
Cheers to you and your family as you celebrate this next decade today!
I realized recently that I've subconsciously been sending my hubbie "links" for my Christmas wishlist. He likes it spelled out for him, and the ability to purchase with the click of a button. And lets be honest, the more details I give him, the more chances I'm really gonna like it. I'm sure that has much to do with the control freak side of me, but we've learned that it works for us and prevents hours in the return lines!
So, if you happen to see something special in our shop, send your loved one your "wishful link". Tell them if they order by Friday they'll be sure to get it by Christmas. And remind them the more they get the deeper the discount. Even the budget savvy shoppers like that kind of news!

There'll be parties for hosting,
marshmallows for toasting,
and caroling out in the snow.
There'll be jewelry for sharing
that people are wearing from Christmases long long ago...
Please join us for the festivities tomorrow night if you live in Atlanta!
Today we are taking the kids downtown to Magiannos Little Italy. It's been our Atlanta tradition for the past 10 years to go there for dinner the Saturday after Thanksgiving. First without kids, now with the fun of all three.
It's a Christmas kick-off of sorts...a wonderful break from turkey leftovers, and always decked out with festive decorations! Live music usually leads to the kids "ballroom" dancing together by our table. It's a simple tradition that has brought great memories.
What kind of traditions do you kick off the holiday season with as a family? Share them with us! We love to hear new ideas!
P.S. Don't forget, 3 more days to win our Tea Strainer necklace just by posting about Vivi Reborn on your blog. Great chances of winning! See here for details.
