I love the look of this bling bow. The color combo is fantastic and the glittery snowflake is such a pretty touch for this time of year. I have this bow available in silver as well.

I will be selling these fantastic items plus many many more this Saturday November 28 from 5-9 at Oranj Dance & Fitness at

Come check it out, there will be lots of cool vendors providing unique items for a fun evening of Christmas shopping. It is free to get in and there will be treats!!

Headbands Are Coming!!

I am so excited! I have been waiting 4 months for the headband order to come. The first 2 orders have been shipped and both have gotten stuck in customs. I finally got smart and had them mailed to a US address. I will be picking them up in the next 2 weeks (finally). I am busy making tons of beautiful hair flowers and new bows to accompany these fabulous headbands. This is a great way for a hair-challenged baby to sport a bow and also a fun way for big girls to wear them. Keep checking back for info on their arrival!!

Restocking, Revamping!

I have been updating my stock. I have tons of cute new bows. Can't wait to get into all the fall colors. Here is a little glimpse of a fresh batch of teenies! My personal favorites? The limey green ones with white dots!

Mini Bows are $4 each OR $7 for a matching pair.

Market Days Are Over

My kids start school this Tuesday. It was so fun to get out into the community and meet some new people at the Farmer's Market this summer. I hope to do a booth for a few weeks in the winter but for now it's back to the routine. Please contact me anytime if you need bows or have any questions. I am happy to bring the bows into town anytime!

Models Wanted!!

Email me photos of your kiddos in their bows so I can post some cuteness on the blog! I agree my kids in their bows are cute but you must want to see some variety...no? I get a lot of satisfaction when I see a little girl around town in a bow she got from me. I'd love to share the loveliness!!

The Farmer's Market has been great fun. We are planning to be there next Wednesday and possibly do a few Saturdays in the fall.

To Market We Go!

I took the bows on the road this Wednesday to the local Farmer's Market. My two oldest girls offered to come along and help. We had a fabulous time meeting new bow wearers along with seeing a lot of familiar faces! Here are some pictures. I will be at the market for the next 2 Wednesdays. Hope to see you there!

The girls made this fantastic frame to display the price list.

Bows galore!

Selling bows while sipping bubble tea- now this is the life!

The set up. Next week I will have a mirror for "trying on". I think I need a sign that says "hairbows" too. There were many people that did not know what I was selling. How is this possible you ask? I am not sure but I would like to make it more clear to avoid those confused looks!

Tu Tu Fabulous!

Here is a little sneak peek at the tutus I have been busy making.

There are many more colors but these are my girls' favorites!

Caitlyn enjoyed modeling the fru fruness!

What a great prop for newborn photos...or any age for that matter. At this point I am starting with tutus that fit a newborn and stretch to about a size 3T. Maddie, my 5 year old. can get this size tutu on as well but it looks a little smallish on her.

I'm looking for a 3 year old model to show what the tutus look like on that age. My 3 year old son wasn't interested in that gig!

Best part? Wait till you see the bows that go with these! They are ADORABLE!!

Bows Go International!

My friend Kim called it to my attention that my bows have now traveled the globe! This bow in particular made an extra special journey all the way to China where this sweet girl, Lilah was adopted. How awesome!!

I am tapping my fingers right now for my special friend Kim who is waiting to meet her new daughter Miah in just a few hours!! Follow Miah's story to undoubtedly see more hair bow appearances :)

New Product - Headbands!!

I have great news! We will soon be offering these fabulous headbands. The best part? The headbands are sold separately, with no bow attached so you can mix and match with your entire bow collection!! I was given one of these as a gift from a friend in California and we can not live without them. They are the most comfortable headbands for babies. Put in your order quickly, I have a feeling they will be flying out of my hands as soon as I get them in!

Headband alone $3
Bows and flowers can be added:)

Double Up Those Bows!

This week I dressed my two youngest daughters in matching outfits and when i was picking their bows I couldn't decide between red and pink. I thought about quickly whipping up some pink and red bows. I held the red one on top of the pink one and imagined how perfect that would be...then I absent mindedly slipped the red one on to the pink one...WA LA! It worked! Check out those perfectly matching bows! Readers, DO try this at home! It will make your possibilities endless.

New Packaging

I have been working on some packaging for the bows and flowers...

What do you think?

Open House

Last weekend I had the privilege of displaying the bows at a friend's shopping party. She hosted myself and Jennifer of Nut and Satchi Knits. (YOU MUST CHECK OUT HER HATS!!!) Lots of her friends came to check out the selection. I enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones!

The chocolate fountain humming in the background, calling my name was quite lovely as well!

Check out those cute hats!

If you are interested in hosting a shopping party and earning free products while mingling with friends, please contact me! I also love coming to mommy playgroups, ladies Bible studies, park play dates, school craft fairs... there are lots of ways to see the bows, share them with friends and earn free ones in the process.

I have a few other creative friends that make some terrific products. I am excited about connecting Moms in the Okanagan with products made by other moms! If you know of any local mom-trepenuers making great kid stuff while staying home with their kiddos, let me know!!
