Trunk of Dreams


My husband and I were thinking the other day...we started our business so that our daughter would have high quality and high end dress up costumes to play with. I got tired of buying things that would break and not last. We figured, buy or make high quality boutique quality dress up items for our daughter, her friends, and others who want it.


What we ended up was that we have tons of wonderful tutus (handmade no less) and dress up items (also handmade) that my daughter "borrows". Let me clarify - whatever she "borrows" - she keeps. We don't return them to the inventory. She randomly goes into the inventory - picks out what she wants and wears them non-stop. She has 7-8 items that she loves and dresses all day long.


What we were laughing about was that her "birth box" that she was sent home from the hospital with was now her dress up trunk. Now it was filled with princess and fairy dresses, wings, wands, crowns, posie wands, and ribbon garlands. We affectionately called it her "trunk of dreams".


It is so much fun to watch her face light up and search madly for her "Cinderella shoes" or her "princess skirt". No matter where we take her, heads turn.
