~ Piggy-Tail PaLooza ~

Who doesn't love some piggy-tails?!  They are the epitomy of all things LITTLE GIRL!  Nothing cuter than piggy-tails, in my opinion, but you can always make them cuter!!

I absolutely LOVE making PIGGY-TAIL HAIRBOWS!   They are one of my favorite items to make in The Kandy Shoppe!  AND they are some of my favorite items to put on my daughter!

So, check out my PIGGY-TAIL accessories!  And embrace all things GIRLY! <3

New Names for items ...

To make ordering a WHOLE LOT EASIER for you, I decided to RENAME some of my items so it is more specific and identifiable and, hopefully, a whole lot less confusing for everyone!
I have been busy, busy, busy for the last two days with product, and materials in addition to my everyday, day to day work that I have to do (full-time mommy and preschool teacher).  I feel like it is taking me forever to get around to getting my hair accessories finished....BUT, alas, I have finished my most recent order...
As for the NAMES of items, they will be as follows:

Winner of the 1st Blog Giveaway....

Congratulations to April Topham, winner of my very first blog giveaway!!!

These giveaways are addicting, so I will definitely be having more... Stay tuned!  Be sure you are following me here on my blog or via Networkedblogs on Facebook, my Facebook page and on Twitter.  I will announce any giveaways or drawings through these avenues.

On another note, I'm busy making hair accessories.  I had another order come in yesterday from a customer who just ordered several hair accessories.  It was a funny story:
This customer of mine is actually my Hair Stylist.  She saw my items and placed an order.  I was excited to get her order to her because she was so excited about the products.  She actually had a client come in and she was showing her the hair accessories she had purchased and the lady got confused and actually wanted to purchase the accessories from my stylist.  Being she sweetie that she is, my stylist couldn't tell her no, so she just went with it and then contacted me letting me know she wanted some more hair accessories!  Made me laugh!!!  But I'm so very excited that people are loving my items... It really means a lot when you put yourself out there with your work and when people get excited about you work it makes you excited!  So, thank you!  Thank you for letting me know that you like what I do, either through purchases or comments, it means a lot to me!

Have a fabulous mid-week and again, CONGRATULATIONS APRIL!!!

Vintage Layered Flower Bobby Pin Set ~ Small

These are so adorable!!!!  With this set I used Plum and Beige sheer material.  Centered with a tiny jewel!  These will look precious in your hair!!

THANK YOU!!!

I have to say that I am, first of all, THRILLED at the response that I am getting from all of you who are loving my accessories!!  Thank you so very much for your feedback on Facebook and Twitter!!  It's very encouraging.  Second, I have to admit, I'm a little blown away; IN A GOOD WAY!!  I never expected so much positive feedback so quickly and so many orders this soon!!!   I am very excited that my products are so LOVED!!  Makes me happy!
Anyone who creates anything, whether it be a commodity or even art to be adored and appreciated, knows how it feels to have your work receive positive feedback... It is very ego boosting and humbling at the same time!  I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to leave me feedback and also, thank you to everyone who has already placed orders with me!! 
I still have so many ideas that I need to sit down and bring to fruition.  I can't wait to get them finished and share them with you.  PLEASE feel free to leave comments here on my blog and share me with your friends and family!!  The more the merrier =)

Cutesie Tootsies...

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!!!  These little bows are PRECIOUS!!  Mounted on Bobby Pins, these are really easy to put into place and are great for a finishing touch on an up-do.  These little cuties are also great for a large age span... Anyone from ages 3 and up would LOVE these!!  You can wear them fun and trendy or to add a little playfulness to a sophisticated look... I absolutely LOVE these!!!

Delicate Vintage...

These little hair pieces are absolutely precious!!   A delicate, vintage flower with layers and layers of sheer fabric, centered with two tiny topaz jewels, mounted upon a bobby pin makes for an easy add on to an up-do to really give it some flare.  Easy for casual or for a more elegant look.  These are extremely versatile!!  Love them!!!  And they look fabulous in your hair!

Vintage Flower Clips

These little clips are absolutely amazing!!  Not only do they look GREAT in your hair, but they are so versatile you can use them creatively anywhere!!  As a broach, on your handbag, on your shoes... the only limit is your imagination!!

These vintage clips also look great with an updo!!



New Vintage Style Fabric Flower Hair Clips...

I am now making a new type of hair accessory. This one is perfect for older girls, teens and women. Vintage Style Clippies are made from all different types of fabric and can be made in several different sizes. I really enjoy making these and the possibilities are endless. These are great for hair, added to headbands, clothing and even for clipping on handbags to give them a different look.
In the example below, I used a very sheer-like type of fabric in beige and a netting type of fabric in black. It is mounted on a "snap clip". Different type clips and barrettes can be used.
I am excited to make more of these, so there will definitely be more examples posted soon!
