Welcome to Kari"s Kafe!

Formerly the PJ Kafe, I am now expanding my "menu items". I have been sewing for almost 25 years and making clothes for kids and infants is my favorite. I created this site for us to raise money for our upcoming China adoption. I guess you could say that I needed something to keep me busy while we wait! :-)
You can click on the sidebar to browse our "Menu" of dresses, pajamas, blankets, doll clothes and fabric choices. Feel free to email me with your questions, comments, or order and I will be happy to help you ~ I want you to be pleased with your order! Keep your eyes open for possibly more items to come as the seasons change.......

Just an Update

Just an update!


We are renewing all our paperwork at this time -wow, how fast a year goes! Are we the only ones questioning why you need to renew your fingerprints?!? For all of you who have gone through this process, I'm sure you remember this with fondness (no eyerolling, please). I thank you all for your prayers and support though shopping this blog! Hopefully next year at this time we'll have new members of the family to celebrate!
