Since I have raised four little boys I still am partial to designs like this smocked cowboy insert. I can just picture how cute my little boys would have looked in this smocked cowboy outfit.

This is  a smocked Be Mine jon jon or shortall  made of orange gingham. The smocking shows a little cowboy with his lasso twirling and with his frisky horse. Comes with matching shirt with orange gingham collar.  This is one of the many items listed on ebay this week.

Smocking is such an artform and almost any child's hobby or interest can be found in a smocking design if you search a bit.

Tractors and trucks were big pleasers for my boys and they are easy to find in smocking designs. But you can find smocked outfits with designs for golf, football, ballet, biking, dogs, and on and on.

Smocked Sandcastle Bishop Dress

Now as the winter wanes on, we are all looking forward to warmer weather, lighter clothing, and pretty pastels that seem to herald the return of spring and Easter.

I thought you all would love this light blue pastel bishop dress that is smocked with a sandcastle, beach ball, and sand bucket design which is sure to be adored by the little girls.  This lovely smocked bishop dress from the Be Mine 2008 Spring/Summer collection  has angel wing  sleeves and a deep enough hem that can be let out so that it will fit your child longer.  This dress and other beautiful smocked clothing for children have been recently posted for sale at the Snowbunny Boutique

With a new season fast approaching, this light blue smocked dress is just the first of many dresses and outfits we will feature on this blog that will give you ideas for dressing up your precious little ones for the coming warm weather.

I enjoy the deeper colors for Christmas and winter clothing, but just as the seasons change,  I love the return of pastel clothing like this little blue dress  after the bleekness of winter.
