It's funny, although I announced that was I "back from my break" in my last post, my blog has not seen a single new post since then!
{P.S. Thank you so much for your guys' love & support too! Whether it was a beautiful comment you sent me, an email, phone call, or just simply following and reading my posts--I really appreciate it!}
Sorry for such quiet time around here...
I really have been quite the busy little lady outside of the bloggy world!
I wanted to share what I have created recently and what I am still working on (although not every piece will be shown).
I made this custom boutonniere for a wedding in Canada this past week. The bride contacted me with a unique design and I put my own little creativity into it and
{TADA}!
It's certainly not like any other design I have made before. Love it!
I made this matching set for my good friend and her little girl on the way. It's a momma flower and a baby headband made from pink chiffon fabric, black marabou feathers, and black glass beads.
This is a custom bridal piece I am working on for a wedding in Australia. I added a bit of detail to match the brides dress with handsewn beads, lace, satin, chiffon, crystals and feathers. When the piece is completely done, I will post more about it!
It is a bit of a different version of "Perfect Elegance" which is available here in the shop!
This is a custom headband made for a 3 year old flower girl in a wedding coming up this weekend. It turned out so stinkin' cute with light pink peony petals, champagne and ivory lace, pearl detail, a crystal brooch, and ivory stretch lace for the headband.
I made this custom wedding hairpiece to match a brides wedding dress sash with a polka dot guinea feathers and chiffon. I love the layers of the light and airy petals!
I also sent out another "Tiffany" hairpiece which is one of the "original" pieces from
As you can tell, It may look like I was still on a break but my poor blog has been the only one to suffer inactivity.
On top of these pieces (I also have a few more I am working on), I just started summer school this week!
DUN-DUN-DUUUNNNNNN
I'm hoping that my Nursing Pharmacology class will still allow me somewhat of a normal summer.
We shall see about that though...so far, not looking like it.
In a positive light, I have a family reunion to attend this weekend! :)
Got to love those right? :)
I'm actually quite excited!
I wonder how many "crazy" stories there will be?!?!
I just wanted to share some photos today of one of my head bands from the shop as well as share a great music band!
Head band + music band?!

These little beauties are made with silk petals that have been hand cut, shaped and sewn together on a black elastic head band. Each flower measures ~2" in diameter & has 3 black glass beads sewn in the center. The elastic head band won't "ride up" when wearing it and is really comfortable!

This past week I created a new line to Love Sparkle Pretty which will now include:
{Pretty Pretty Bebe} Hair accessories for pretty little girls from infant + !!
My first hairpieces for little girls started with adorable baby Giuliana when I created a Shabby Chic inspired piece to clip onto her little headbands. {Read complete blog post here}
Then, not too long ago, I created 2 coordinating daisy headbands for a set of twins {Madison & Macie} in mine & my husband's family. {Read complete blog post here}
Now, I have added some new pieces to the line of {Pretty Pretty Bebe} which include fabric rosettes like this piece using different patterned fabrics rolled & twisted into little roses, pearl beads sewn between them, as well as cute little charms like this antique brass bow attached to this headband :)
I was also introduced to the fun creations you can make using felt fabric and after purchasing almost every single color I can find of felt, I started cutting and sewing away creating little rossetes and flower petals! I cut and sewed every little piece together and used pearl beads and cute buttons for the center of the flowers. I then sewed the flowers to different elastic headbands (which can also be attached to clips if desired). They came out so cute and I'm very happy with them! Not to mention, they are really fun to make :)
