HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween!!  I hope that my East Coast friends have safely survived Hurricane Sandy.  We've had a few days off from school and it's been great because I've been SUPER sick and using the time to sleep and try to feel better.  My sister has been stuck in NYC for a few days longer than she anticipated, but hopefully she'll get home sometime soon.

With Halloween today, it means that stores will officially start inundating us with Christmas/Holiday stuff tomorrow... It also means the start of shopping for the Christmas season (if you haven't started already, which, gasp, I have). I've started started making some lists of things I'm making for friends and family.  I've even completed a few items on my list (whoa!).  Fact: It's my first Christmas out of grad school in what feels like a VERY LONG time, so I actually have time to think about the holidays in advance, instead of just barely coming up for air some time around December 18th/19th just in time to travel and order things last minute. Phew!

With planning ahead in mind, and hopefully with running the risk of being one of those inundating types, I'm sharing some of my felt hair bows early this year so that people can order them early and in time for the holidays.

I was inspired to make these last fall when I saw something similar in a shop.  I can make them in a ton of different colors, but I've highlighted the red embossed material here for holiday season. I wore one on Christmas day last year.

Red Embossed Felt Hair Fascinator

I make them in shapes that rage from adult size to little lady and mini size.  The red embossed bow above is adult size which you can compare the size of the photo below.

The bow measures 4 3/4 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches tall and has both a pin and alligator clip for versatility.


Stay tuned next week for another holiday inspired hair piece.  I'm also planning to post some of my baby mobiles for sale sometime soon.  

Bow Obsessed

I will post some of my regular flower hair fascinators soon (since they make up the majority of the items in my shop) but I need to have a moment about bows... See, I've been kind of obsessed with everything and anything with bows lately. (And by lately, let's be real, I mean for the last year plus!!)  I love bows on SHOES, shirts, necklaces, dresses, bow ties, bow hair clips... My Pinterest board is pretty much FILLED with things with bows!

To help satisfy my bow obsession I've come up with some fun little hair clips for my shop.  So far, because I've sort of got a problem, I have three different sizes for ladies of any age.  (I think they're so cute! I can't help myself!!) I personally love to wear the bigger size.  They feel like fun little felt hats that mold gloriously to your head.  They also look SUPER cute on little munchkins! I've been sending them to some of my friend's little lovelies to test them out and I can't help but squee a little bit when I see them on.

I've even created a custom order of a set of Little Lady Bows to give as a baby shower gift! And since these come in a variety of sizes it's easy to mix and match a gift set so the little lady can wear bows at any age.
