I still love that I've collected a few bits and pieces and I bought a lot of her recycled plastic bottles made into shopping bags. Really love those!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-48651688186992221912007-12-14T13:10:00.000-08:002007-12-14T13:10:00.000-08:00I think I've finally used up all the Daisy Kingdom...I think I've finally used up all the Daisy Kingdom stuff around the house. Rebecca and I had sweatshirts decorated with Daisy Kingdom art for years and years.<BR/><BR/>You do know that Patti didn't exactly sell the store to Springs Industries, right? She went bankrupt shortly after she signed the agreement with Walmart to provide them with her famous girls dresses. Not a surprise - she really didn't know how to manage things well. I worked in Home Dec. and our manager had such a free rein with ordering that there were literally hundreds and hundreds of bolts of upholstry and decorator fabric upstairs in the warehouse that never saw the light of day in the store. There was just no place in the store to display them. She owed the largest amount of money to Springs Industries, so they took over after the bankruptcy. The store itself looked more or less the same for several years, until they decided to close it. I think she still owns the huge mansion in Portland called The Daisy Kingdom mansion.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-66357998762447204692007-12-02T18:50:00.000-08:002007-12-02T18:50:00.000-08:00Hey!

They put on their dress and covered it right away. They had "Sunday" aprons to wear with their good dresses after church. So aprons bring back good memories for me! I should make one and use it, rather than spend all the time I spend treating stains before I load the washer!Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110330858194248667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-4307893977068511342007-11-27T15:09:00.000-08:002007-11-27T15:09:00.000-08:00Not yet -- though I do have an apron I need to mak...Not yet -- though I do have an apron I need to make for Christmas!atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.com
