BIG SALE!

Help! I need more space! In order to create some room in my tiny little corner, I'm putting some bows on sale on the website! These sale prices are available to anyone, wether you buy from the sight or directly through me.

On other news, Ava came over to play the other day, and I took the opportunity to have her model for me. She's a pretty lively little thing, so it was a challenge! But I think we got some good ones:

New and Improved!

The "basic bows" are now improved! I finally found the answer to the problem of them not holding their shape. Apparently I'm not the only bow maker who's had this problem. I'm part of a forum on the website where I buy my ribbon, and this was one of the topics. Thankfully, the solution was there as well! So, for all you lovers of the basics, check it out soon - I think you'll like the improvement!

Lovely Etsy Find!

One of my favorite passtimes is browsing etsy, the website where I sell bows. There are so many talented, artistic, creative people out there! Here's one I found recently:

I hope the next time you need a lovely, one-of-a-kind, creative gift, you'll look on etsy!

New Style!

Here's another new style! This one is called the "Duet Bow" because it used two colors that play together so well:

I really like this one for several reasons - It's got a great shape - like a basic bow, but better.

It has versatility, with the multi colors, and the sizes can be combined for a really terrific bow!

And finally, because it's really a simple bow, but looks like a boutique bow - it even creates it's own spikes!

Also - the next installment of "what Diana wore today". There's nothing like pink and brown! Today Diana is modeling my newest bow - the "Duet" bow in pinks and browns.

Some things in the works

Here's some things to watch for in the future:

Cute little bows, right? "bows" being the key word - these are actually two bows in one!

This is what I'm calling my "Build - A - Bow". Just the base, anyway. The topper bow can be whatever you want - a korker, marabou puff, tuxedo... There are many bows that look great on it. The little daisy will be available soon, as well. I've got some ideas for a "ribbon flower" collection... Speaking of ribbon flowers - here's an awesome one:

Isn't that precious! That's going to be a great one for Easter!

Photo Shoot

Baby Kate came over for a photo shoot the other day. She's one of Diana's favorite people - and its no wonder - she's so precious! A big thank you to Samantha for letting Kate be my model!!

January Newsletter

My January newsletter went out yesterday. If you didn't receive one, and want to - let me know!

The special for the month is - anything in red or white or a combination of these two colors is 30% off! This includes any style of bow, flowers and headbands! A great way to be prepared for Valentine's Day!

New Ruffle Ribbon Arrives!

Yesterday I got a shipment of double ruffle ribbon. Opening it, I felt like a kid who went on a shopping spree in the candy store! So many gorgeous colors!I now have 17 colors in stock! They are: Cream, Light Pink, Pink, Lavender, Coral Rose, White, Red, Purple, Lime Juice, Dark Brown, Black, Hot Pink, Light Orchid, Wild Orchid, Light Blue, Wild Berry, and Wine!

Flower Clips

New to the flower collection - pretty boutique-style flower clippies with rhinestone center! This one is a lovely soft pink.

And, just in time for Valentine's Day - the perfect way to show a little love to your princess!

What Diana wore today (and the past few!)

I'm seriously behind in my new series - "What Diana Wore Today"!! So to catch up, here's a bunch:

This one is actually from today. This is two sets of mini korkers. Because my motto is - "bigger is better"!! =)

This is her testing out one of my new, as yet unnamed, styles (send me those names, ladies!!) It's a medium basic bow with spikes to back it up. I think it's a great bow for pigtails - not to big, but noticeable.

Here she is wearing a set of "Cambrie" bows - can you tell I'm really liking the pigtails? Her hair is finally long enough, and she's so stinkin' cute in them!

So, hopefully that gives you some ideas of ways to use my bows! =)

I'm in a Treasure Box!

One of my items was selected by a fellow etsian to be in her "treasury"! See it here:

Wow! It's a very nice compliment! It's hard to get a treasury list to begin with, and then for that person to select one of my items, among the bajillions (I miss you everytime I say that, Melisa!) out there - wow!

New Year's Day Showcase

I have another "showcase" lined up on etsy today. Follow this link if you're interested in playing the "spot her item" game! =)

http://www.etsy.com/showcase.php?showcase_id=children

This is just a special place where sellers can get some visibility for their shops. One of my items at a time will be in the showcase, and when that item sells, the next takes it's place. I thought a lot about which items and in what order to put them in, so we'll see...

Happy '09 to you all!!
