My Little Bees








Time to share a little bit more. My oldest bee choose a magnet board with a hot pink frame and black and white damask.It coordinates well in her black and white room. It is amazing how fast time goes by. Just yesterday she was a teeny tiny baby and into Dora the Explorer. Well, She's left that all behind to pick her favorite Taylor Swift song. Her magnet board reflects the important things in her life. She loves her pictures of her Daddy/Daughter Dates, dance pictures and pictures of her when she was a baby. I love walking into her room and notice when she's rearranged her board. I Love that she has dreams. Hope you achieve your dreams. Reach for the stars.




My middle bee is the actress of the family. She could definitely try out for the Disney Channel today and be performing tomorrow. Morning time she could be a fairy flying around and by afternoon be Spiderman's side kick and save the world. She has a spring green frame with coordinating spring green stripes. Her magnet board reflects her value of family and friends. She loves to display her art work and Littlest Pet Shop cards. She is sweet and also has big dreams of her own.




Oh!!! My little baby bee. He jumps out of bed and runs around the neighborhood with a group of six- three year olds. You probably think a magnet board wouldn't be important to a three year old. You would be wrong he loves what's is important to him: Dad, Jeeps, Four wheeling, plastic airplanes passed down from an uncle and Spiderman. I hope he thinks life is good to him. You are a blessed little boy. -Mom

Megan & Little B







Last summer Megan ordered a custom magnet board. She mixed a spring green frame with a pink argyle pattern. She then went home and painted a square on her daughter's wall to emphasize the magnet board. I recently asked her if I could come and take pictures of Little B's room. Megan said that the board is solely Little B's and she can put whatever she wants to display and how she wants to display it. I love that a three year old can be the princess in charge of the decor in her room.



Megan, thanks for sharing a little part of your life. - Betsy

Product Photo Shoot


The week before the photo shoot I ran around my neighborhood asking if their daughters could be in my photos and website. I'm so lucky they said yes. What awesome parents and girls. I went from store to store finding outfits to match the magnetic boards. Two hours before the shoot the girls came over for hair and makeup. I tried to have every girls photo shoot ready for my husband( who is a photograher) to quickly take their pictures. Syd, Sam, Jess, Brook, Bre, Kes, Lib, Linds and Blake thank you for your help in making my dream come true. Also, a big thanks to Steph and Jess ( Bryant's assistants). Bryant thank you for putting up with my" back seat driving " thru the photoshoot. I have to admit the pictures turned out just the way I saw it in my brain. I wanted it to look like the girls were getting their portraits done and there just happened to be a magnetic board in the shot. Very Paris Chic ! paisleyandco.com

An Idea


About seven months ago I had an idea for magnetic boards. So, I put one together and ran over to my neighbor's house to show her. I think I saw her jaw drop alittle. It was a positive reaction and I knew I had stumbled on to something great. Anne is not your ordinary neighbor. She is a designer on steriods. Her brain is always thinking of how colors, texures, patterns, paint, and fabrics blend together (times ten) and I sometimes wonder what it would be like to wander around in her brain. She asked me to make a line of magnetic boards to match her baby bedding and the rest is history. The past 7 months through trial and error I have finally put together a prouduct line that I am confident will be of quality. paisleyandco.com
