Background:  Since the company began 3 years ago, we have kept all skirt scraps and sent them to a quilting group in Wyoming.  These quilts are donated to many different local charities.  Fighting cancer is a cause dear to our hearts, as Stephanie lost her mom to breast cancer when she was 12 years old.  Her mother, Sharon Allan, was only 36.  Sharon’s nickname was “Shenna,” and in memory of her, Stephanie began a “Sweet Shenna” line of lap quilts and matching pillows from pink Sweet Spot® Skirt quilts. We have the lucky job of giving them to amazing women across the country who are battling cancer.

Sharing the Skirt Love

While cleaning her jewelry at her local favorite Rand Jeweler in Vancouver, Stephanie met Dana.  Of course, she couldn't resist snapping off her skirt and trying it on this stylish fashionista.  Imagine Steph's surprise that Dana is 71 years old (she was guessing 50's!) Just another day of sharing the skirt love and making new friends!

We've watched so many girls come up to our booth at events, starry-eyed and in awe of all the colorful fabrics.  Yep, we love color (especially pink!) here at Sweet Spot® Skirts.  Parents started asking if we had any skirts in their daughters' size.  Of course we couldn't say no!  We now have an entire line for Tots to Teens, and can do custom skirts in any fabric that we have stock in.  We've had several mom-daughter matching combos, which we aptly named "Mommy and Me." Some of the popular features:

• Reversible, allowing for creativity with 2 outfit options
• A perfect addition to a leggings and boots outfit, providing a bit more coverage and allowing her to be active and comfortable (and oh so cute, in our opinion!)
• Grows with her (the snaps make it adjustable)
• Makes a great gift, as the size doesn't have to be exact

Browse the Tots to Teens Collection, and feel free to email us at info@sweetspotskirts.com to create any custom or matching skirt combos.  Best of luck as we enter into another school year after a fabulous summer!

Bike Touring in a Sweet Spot® Skirt

We received this email this morning and absolutely LOVED the picture!  Great job on the tour, Erica!

Hey sweet spot folks,

  My boyfriend snapped this photo of me on a recent bike tour from Utah-Oregon. It was taken on a cloudy morning in Dinosaur National Monument (the Utah side), and just thought the colors were too great not to pass along! The skirt was a fantastic item to have bike touring, since I could slip it on and off very quickly and easily. Thanks for making such great products!

Best,

 Erica

"Photo is My Mother in Law Beth, Sister in Law Katie, and myself at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Boise May 2013.

Beth is wearing a custom SSS with the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon on it. She is a Cancer Survivor and I had the privilege of running the race with her this year in the Fast n Flirty SSS that she gave me for Christmas. We had a wonderful time and I heard many people compliment both of us. This was the first Sweet Spot Skirt I have ever owned and I can't wait to get another one.

Thank you so much for such a great product that many generations can enjoy. I can't wait until my daughter is big enough to fit into one!"

Thanks again, and hope to see you all out on the course!

Italian Travels in a Sweet Spot Skirt

"Hi There-  I saw one of your skirts on a friend of mine and decided to visit your Vancouver store and buy.  The word got out and two friends bought skirts to take on a bike/barge trip last summer in Italy.  We really enjoyed our photo session, compliments of our husbands and hope you enjoy the resulting pics"

- Susan

Sounds like an incredible trip, Susan!  And quite a bit of fun antics along the way!
