Welcome Spring!

Who's ready for SPRING!!! I know I am!! It's my favorite season, for so many reasons: the change from winter to warmth, the excitement of watching flowers and trees budding, GREEN (This world really does have more than sepia tones!!) =), not to mention that the colors of the season are my absolute faves!! Soft pink, lavender, pale yellow, soft greens, white, coral; love, love, love them!!

 Here is a OOAK (one of a kind), created while fiddling around one night. Above that - a really show-stopping bow, made with some of the new narrower double ruffle ribbon I've acquired. Don't you just love those colors?!?!?

And, just because I'm thoroughly in love with double ruffle ribbon - some Rufflies with marabou! =)

Here's a smaller version of the Brittney Boutique bow - isn't it cute??

And, since no collection of bows would be complete without some mini korkers... =)

It's a SALE!!

I've been putting off adding any posts on top of the adorable picures of little girls in tutus. Sigh, bloggy life must go on. =)

I'm trying to make some space, so I will be listing quite a few things on etsy at a discount. Only what's listed is on sale, so when it's gone, it's gone. Right now there's a bunch of Elena bows up.

Boy, I'm feeling really boring tonigh, so I think I'll quit typing...

Just Having "Tutu" Much Fun!

Here's one of my favorite little models, showing us the new "Mini Rufflie" bow. She's also sporting a tutu - something in the works for down the road! I had some friends over today for a "tutu party" - we had fun chatting, chasing kids and trying to make tutus together! =) Afterwards, I rounded the girls up for a photo session. It was so cute seeing the mounds of tutus dancing around! =)

Here's a few of my favorite pics from the event:

Get Your Cute Fix!

I'm so excited to introduce to you a new style! By now, I'm sure you know that Rufflies are my all-time favorite bow. I enjoyed making and using the wide double ruffle ribbon so much, that it's taken me this long to dabble in a different width and style. Well, I think this one is worth the wait - even hubby thought it was pretty cute! =)

This is my "Mini Ruffle" bow - at just 3 inches, it's a great bow for newborns on up!

What do you think?

Awww, It's soooo Cu-ute!

What do you think? It's a "mini" Rufflie bow! Just 3 inches across. More to come!

Love those Princesses!

If your little girl is anything like mine, you have a lot of "princess-y" stuff hanging around! Disney really hit a good thing making the "Princesses" into their own little cult - talk about marketing genious! =) We're planning a trip to Disney this spring, so I've been looking into adding more "Princess" to Diana's collection. Here's something I'm excited to offer to you:

These are darling little clay figures that can be added to your bows! They are made by a very talented etsy artisan. They will need to be ordered, so please allow 2 weeks for me to order and make the bow. As soon as I get mine, I'll post some pictures of them on a bow!

It's a "Tutu" Bow!

The survey is closed, and the results are pretty clear! Those fun bows with the tulle and korkers are now called "Tutu" bows! Thanks for voting, everyone!

And the winner of the drawing is: Becky W! I'll be in touch by e-mail. Congrats, Becky!

Just a Reminder

Just a reminder - the survey will be closing tomorrow, so get your votes in! And, I decided to let the winner choose the colors in their free bow! Double bonus!
