Floret Dolls - look at the fabric!

Since today is November 1st, I decided to search for magazine pages from past years' November for this month's posts. I found this in the November 2008 issue of American Baby magazine...
the doll is cute and all, but that isn't what drew me to the picture in the magazine. I couldn't find "the picture" from the magazine online, but I found what was in the picture:

This probably doesn't mean anything to you.
But, take a look at these pictures of the boys' 1st birthday shirts:

So, do you see it? It's the same fabric! Now, some may know that I searched high and low for "the fabric" (because I made their shirts - with assistance). I had a vision in my head, and went to several stores before finding the right fabric. How exciting to see it on a doll that was featured in a magazine. I know, I'm a bit corny, but I think it's cool.

Here's the information on the doll, written in the November 2008 issue of American Baby magazine:

"Foreign Friends: Simone Kaplan was born in Brazil, designed costumes in California, studied tapestry in Portugal, and is now raising two songs in Brooklyn. Their drawings inspire her creations, such as these dolls. floretnyc.com" -Janeen Koban
