Gracies

Diana loves it when I do braids in her hair, which I think is really amazing! I definitely needed some practice before posting pictures - it's just a little trickier doing them in someone else's hair! =) Here she is modeling her braids - and Gracie Bows.

p.s. - keep an eye out for a new style coming soon - I've been working hard on this one, and I think you're going to love it!! (Those of you at Bethany's party who got a sneek preview - don't give it away!!) =)

Another Great Model!

Meet Ane - the inspiration for the "Ane Bow" and a very sweet, pretty girl. She and my son Kenneth have been "sweet friends" from the moment they met (when they were just over two years old), and it was so much fun to be able to take some "modelling" pictures of her.

I am thrilled to be able to show you some of the styles that look great on an older girl. Here she is modelling the "Large Basic Bow."

Large "Gracie Bow" looks darling sweeping up the side.

Elena bow makes a great presentation on a pigtail.

And probably one of the most fun bows I have - the "Spikey Bow" - doesn't it look so cute??

Hats off to the Red White and Blue

Just a reminder - bows made with patriotic colors are 25% off this month! Don't miss out on this chance to show your patriotic spirit! Here's a few bows to inspire you:

Love those Piggies!

Hey - here's a great deal! I've created some special pricing for some of my bows - especially the ones that go great as pig-tail pairs! These bows now offer a "Two-for" pricing. The bows with this great deal are: Medium Basics, Medium Double Basics, Large Basics, Medium Korkers, Rufflies (WHAT A DEAL!!), Christy Bow, Ane Bow and Yo-Yo Bow! The best thing about this deal - they don't have to match! You must purchase two of the same kind to get the deal, but they don't have to be the same color! Don't you just love a deal?

What Diana Wore Today

I'm waaaay behind in the series "What Diana Wore Today". And with the change of seasons (finally!!) there's so much to show! This is one little girl who has too many clothes! I thought I was being more reasonable this year, but one outfit here and one outfit there, adds up fast!

Here she is with her brothers, wearing the double cosmo bow.

Love those mini korkers! When I need a super-cute everyday bow, this is the one I usually go for - I love them on pigtails!

Diana needs dresses with full skirts to allow for her bent knees, and this one is definitely full enough! It makes a complete circle when she sits, which seems to tickle her fancy. Nothing like girls and frills! She's wearing an Elena Boutique Bow to accompany it.

Watermelon Collection

Gymboree has a new collection - the Watermelon Picnic line. It's a simple one, thankfully! Simply 4 easy to match colors! Wow - that's a rare one! =)

New style!

Today was a kind of dreary day. Rainy, cloudy, cold... A great day to be inside. And the housework just didn't seem very enticing. (like usual) =) So, it was a good day to spend developing a new style:

This is reminiscent of those cute fabric yo-yo's from my grandmother's era. I've been gazing at them thoughtfully for a while now as I walk through the craft stores, wondering about their use as a hair clip.
Today I thought, why not make it with ribbon? And of course, if one layer is good, two is better! =)

So, for lack of a better name, here's the "Yo-Yo Bow". Hmm, is that too corny? I'd welcome some suggestions!

These look great on pigtails, or sweeping up the sides! I love how they have so many color combination options!

Here's Diana modeling two Yo-Yo's that match her cute outfit from my favorite store - Gymboree. Thanks, Grandma!! =) This is from the "Happy Rainbow" collection.

Love those polkas

I just did an order that included these little cuties:

These are double medium basic bows. I thought they were pretty cute!

May newsletter

The May newsletter went out this morning. I didn't get one sent last month, as all my spare time went toward getting ready for the festival. And, since I have plenty of bows left over, the special this month is to help reduce some of that. Buy three, get one free! Included styles are: small and large pinwheels, small and large Gracies, Elenas and medium basic bows. Great time to get your "basics"!
