We loved reading all the great reviews on our site these last couple of weeks. While they are all fun to read and so many shine, one was extra special to us, and that one is…..drum roll please…..Ruthie Rainbow. Ruthie’s mama, Georgia, wrote a great review of the Rainbow Peace Skirt. And sent a couple of adorable pictures of her little rainbow loving toddler, Ruthie. Here is the review. Thanks Georgia, your gift certificate is on the way!!! And thanks too to everyone who participated. Watch for another contest out here by the end of the week.

Ruthie’s Magic Rainbow Skirt by our bud Georgia
Blog Image “My little girl “Ruthie Rainbow” is full of magic, creativity, and imagination. At 3, she is strong-willed in her desire to create her own styles each morning, before we head out the door at 7 am. Often, she wakes up, groggily rubbing her eyes & announcing “I need to wear rainbow clothes”. When I showed her this skirt online, she told me, “this is perfect” and when it arrived in the mail, she hugged it to her chest and vowed, “I will wear this FOREVER”. Now, it is a struggle to get her to wear anything else! How perfect that there was one for her twirly-whirly mama too! We both wore this skirt to the CD release party of our Kid’s Band “Spiral Up Kids” and twirled on the dance floor. Our outfits brought many smiles and compliments and we both felt so special in our rainbow skirts. We just LOVE them! Thank you Soul-flower for designing clothing feels so good & let’s your true spirit shine through! These rainbow skirts are not only beautiful but magical too! (I guess we’ll need one in the next size too, as my Ruthie Rainbow is growing up on me, before my eyes!)”
