Welcome to Dandelion Summers. New owners Simon and Shannon Milliman

Welcome to Dandelion Summers: We believe a naturally beautiful childhood should lead into a fulfilling, sustainable adulthood. http://www.dandelionsummers.com/ We are excited about growing with those of you who have supported Ami with Dandelion Summers since its conception in 2004 and we look forward to inviting new friends to join us. We are fully commited to preserving her fundamental principles of providing pure, natural and organic products for you and your family and are grateful to have her guidance as we continue to provide the same trusted products and to do business with your well-being in mind. You can still follow her adventures at the previous blogsite dandelion-cottage.blogspot.com. Please bookmark this new site http://www.dandelionsummers.blogspot.com/ and visit often to follow Dandelion Summers current developments. The same security, ease of browsing and shopping has been maintained for your peace of mind and to allow you continuity in purchasing the items that make your life more enjoyable. We are the new owners of Dandelion Summers and are excited about furthering our journey and being a part of your journey as we begin to weave natural and organic living into our lifestyles. We are Simon and Shannon Milliman, we have four children: Sunny Carolina, Moses, Adrianna and Rainbow. Together we have many strengths that we hope will sustain Dandelion Summers ideals. We are commited to finding ways to make our life experiences a complement to a naturally beautiful existence. A little about us: Simon and Shannon both have Bachelors Degrees in English. Simon graduated from Portland State University and Shannon from Brigham Young University. Simon is passionate about music. His band, The Subterranean Howl has released one album and plans to release another this fall. Shannon finds joy dancing and is currently choreographing a dance to one of Simon's tunes, "Put Me Under." We both like to write for the purpose of finding purpose, meaning and direction in life and find a lot of all of the above in our four children. Sunny Carolina is almost seven and loves the smallest of all creatures, mice. Her favorite toy is the Ostheimer wooden mouse. She has entered many new worlds and mouse holes in her world of pretend with this small but significant character. She draws mice, writes stories about them and pretends she is a mouse frequently. We all have savored her delight in her journey to learn to read. She is excited about her designated role in Dandelion Summers as official Dandelion crown maker. Keep posted for succesful photos of her natural accesories. Moses is five and a superhero at heart. He believes in justice for all and has surprised us with his progressive thoughts. Without prompting he recently expressed his concern for the consumption of animals. He has told us, "I care about animals. I don't want to eat them." He reminds us to think new thoughts and reconsider the ways we have always done things; a pivotal part of our new commitment to seek out safer, more natural choices in all the things we do as people and as a family: working, playing, eating, serving etc. Adrianna is three and has a soft spot in her heart for sweets (organic sugar of course!) and loves the endless possibilities that her multi-colored collection of play silks offer her for creating princess-esque attire. Rainbow is seven months and binds us all together in adoration of purity and innocence. Her newness and heavenly spirit inspire us to do all we can to equip her with the best possible start possible. She inspires us to love and to make choices that will make hers and our lives happy and healthy. We feel a sense of peace when she is swaddled in natural, organic cotton blankets. Our decision to share a bit of our personal lives is made in hopes that you will develop faith in our mission: to provide an extended family in which we support one another as we make small choices to encourage a more healthy and a more beatiful natural and pure lifestyle. We cannot do this honestly with out sharing what is most important in our lives. We find joy working together as a family and are commited to living a little fuller. The specific products Dandelion Summers offers are key: we spend a great portion of our lives sleeping-since we actively seek to improve our quality of life through organic and natural choices while we are awake we owe it to ourselves the same respect and love to provide the best chance for rejuvinating, pure sleep. It is our conviction that by choosing to invest in products such as organic mattresses, organic bedding, organic mattress pads, organic baby clothes, organic baby blankets, organic sheets, organic dust mite barrier covers, organic cotton blankets, organic wool blankets you will begin to feel a difference in your life. You will begin to notice how good it feels to be whole and to live as nature intends. We urge you to learn from the children in your life, as we try to do every day. Supplement their creative play with positive, safe and quality items like Ostheimer wooden toys, playstands, playsilks, building blocks, wooden toy trains and so much more. As we let them play and learn from their play we will all find oursleves reinspired to pursue our talents and live a more pure and fulfilling lifestyle. We hope you'll join us. http://www.dandelionsummers.com/ Thank you for trusting us with your business. We guarantee you will find a naturally beautiful childhood a fulfilling choice.
Sincerely,
Simon and Shannon Milliman
