New Raquel Rosette Headbands & a Giveaway

Hello everybody! I'm sure you've been wondering where we've been! I am proud to announce that we've been working on 2 big wholesale order and our handmade products can be found at Inspired Living Boutique in Mesa, Arizona and Miss Fancy Plants in Elk City, Oklahoma!

Now that the orders have been finished, we can breathe a little and are super excited to debut our newest headband design, the Raquel Rosette Headbands! Go to the Etsy shop and take a look around!


They are fun and fairly simple, and add just the right pop of color to any outfit. We make them in 3 sizes- baby elastic headbands and satin wrapped headbands for girls & women. I used the baby headbands for my twins birth announcements and they looked gorgeous.


So, we are having a little giveaway to celebrate new things, just leave a comment with your email and the color and size of the Raquel headband you would like to win! You can pick any color your heart desires, not just the pink, purple, turquoise, and green we have in the shop. I have every color satin so dream away!!!

We have a whole bunch of new hair clips hitting the shop this week. I am loving these for our new twin girls, since you can mix and match a bunch of different ones on their headbands & beanies and create endless combinations of darling accessories for every outfit! We have satin rosettes, felt flowers, and new satin ruffle flowers with lots of new styles coming this week!

New Frou Frou Hair Doo Bows in the Shop!

Eryn has made the sweetest little clip on bows that you can stick in your baby's hair, on a crochet headband or on a crochet beanie. They are sooo cute, and she has been known to give awesome baby shower gifts of a bow board filled with these little bows so you can one for every outfit your little girl has. They are so versatile and add just a little oomph to finish off your baby's look, I love them. Scoop them up while you can, they are only $7 for a set of 2!

Petti Party

My sister Eryn went bananas and made a TON of gorgeous pettiskirts last week and we are slowly but surely getting pictures taken of all of them and listing them in the Etsy shop. They are such a hit and so easy to throw on your little girl to instantly look like the best dressed kid on the block. I love love love them, and my girls love them since they are so ruffley and twirly.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

We have some new stuff up in the shop today, run on over there and see what you think. I whipped up this necklace and it makes me think of the Horse of A Different Color in the Wizard of Oz.


I also tweaked our Sadie Headbands a bit and added some frayed wrapped black satin on the headband and some turquoise sequins to give it a bit more pizzaz.


And I made this headband especially for my Penelope for Valentines Day, so it's named in her honor.


And last but not least, the Betsy headband- with some new flower styles for baby girls. I have to start branching out and making a bunch of different headbands since the twins are coming soon! Keep an eye out for more baby headbands in the shop soon!

They are ruffley and tiered for kitchen twirling and feature a white rosette on one side for extra sassiness. Pair with one of our Millie Headbands or a Felt Rosette Bobby Pin to top off your look!


Olivia wore her apron and the Red Millie Headband to a basketball game the other day and we were flooded with compliments so I can assure you people LOVE these little aprons.


Keep an eye out for some grown up versions of these and other aprons hittin our shop in the future!
