Ballerinas Dance in Damask

After a year of searching, I am very excited to have found these beautiful spring fabrics for my new ballerina collection – Dancers in Damask.  These modern fabrics are bright pinks, turquoises, and lavenders highlighted with greens and yellows.  Complemented with always popular polka dots and ginghams-  I can’t wait to turn them into ballerinas!Image

Kelley Corbett Dolls Off for a Grand Adventure!

Happy New Year!  I just love New Year’s.  I, for one, am not a new year’s resolution person.  I figure if you are going to do it, you might as well do it any other day of the year.  But I do like the newness of the year.  The “new beginning” feeling of the year.  I usually take a break and look at things a little differently and crave a little change.  And for some reason the simple change in calendar brings with it a sense that things CAN be new, different, and just a little bit adventurous.  This Christmas, with the help of my family, we packaged thirty Kelley Corbett Dolls to go on adventures of their own.  Fifteen of them have headed off to Honduras, with Operation Christmas Child, where they will be given to little girls and told the wonderful story of Christmas.  Six have headed off to Nigeria through the Amobi Okoye Foundation to benefit Nigerian children.  And nine have headed to children in need right here in Houston through the San Jose Clinic.  My hope is that they bring joy, hope, and companionship to the special little girls that are waiting for them.  Many adventures await for 2014, so let the New Year begin!

Pull out the umbrellas…no, not for rain

What is your favorite part of spring? The sun finally feeling warm on your face? The first bright flowers peeking out? Your favorite ice cream spot pulling out the table umbrellas and serving up your first scoop of the season? I love spring! Especially here in Katy. Mostly because it doesn’t last very long, so you have to enjoy it while you can. We seem to jump straight from winter into summer with the blink of an eye. But this year, spring has decided to bless us with its presence just a little bit longer, like a guest who lingers after dinner because you are just having such a good time laughing together. This lingering season has produced some of the most beautiful springtime flowers which have happily inspired me to create a special Kelley Corbett Ballerina Collection. And it is oh so fitting since I have enjoyed watching my own ballerina twirl these past few months. The ballerinas are made from a special collection of fabrics gathered from my favorite designers, among them Kaffe Fassett and Michael Miller, displaying beautiful combinations of pinks, turquoises, purples, and bright greens. And the most exciting part is that they are now available for sale at Stephanie’s Dance Studio One right here in Katy! It is located in the neighborhood on Kingsland Boulevard just across the street from Taylor High School. So if you are meandering around one afternoon (we can still meander occasionally, can’t we?), just stop by and check them out. They make great gifts for girls of all ages, newborn and up! And in the meantime, take care and enjoy your last few weeks of spring!
