Vintage inspired shoot featuring some Love Sparkle Pretty hairpieces + new projects!

After one less stress of a big fat final to worry about--I finished it...and ACED it this morning--I can now focus on completing orders, projects, and the daily joys of wifey and mommy duties :)

I wanted to share a couple of my newest & original pieces that have been completed and I'm pretty excited about! This is just one of several posts to come about lots of new stuff!

Whooo Hooo!

First, a friend of mine photographed a "vintage-inspired" shoot and used some of my items which turned out so beautifully!

Petite Flowers

I recentently created small flower hairpieces for a friend. She asked for smaller ones so that when she gives them as gifts, her friends can wear them on a daily basis. Since I knew they were all nursing students too, our scrubs are {maroon} and I figured, why not add a bit of {maroon} to each one to match our scrubs? Makes sense since we are wearing them every week! So, that's what I did! :)

These little beauties were created with ranuncula petals, hydrangea petals, cherry blossom as well as little daisy petals.

Each flower had a touch of {sparkle} added with a rhinestone for the center and glitter leaves. So cute & with each one about 2-2.5" around, so petite! :)

These can also be created on elastic headbands for little girls or leave them as is--on an alligator clip!

How about you? Would you rather wear a large flower in your hair or a smaller one?

Finally unemployed + LOTS of new creations :D

Yesterday was my last day of working as a grocery clerk! I had been with the company for about 5 years and instead of enjoying my last 8hr. shift, I woke up REALLY sick and had to go to work that way...unable to leave early. :( I could barely even hold myself up and by the time I was FINALLY off, I was able to take my temperature--knowing I had a fever--the thermometer said 101.5 F :(
It's weird to be happy about being unemployed but with a supportive husband, I am able to focus on being a mommy, crafter, and nursing student--there's hardly any "free" time even without a job.
Here are some projects that I recently finished and now will have more time to finish up some more orders :)

{This is a fully custom bridal piece that I created with royal purple detail & a half birdcage veil.}

{These are boutonnieres that I created for a bride in Santa Maria. I used different purple feathers for the groom and groomsmen as well as purple vintage buttons.}

{This is a piece for a nautical themed wedding in Florida. It's my "Ahoy Darling" creation with light pink feathers instead of the traditional red. I also used antique-inspired lace within the ivory flower.}

{I also created another one of these vintage-inspired boutonnieres for a bride-to-be in Sierra Madre, Ca :) These boutonieres seem to be very popular!}

{& last but not least for my recent Etsy.com orders, I created 2 of these peacock fascinators for 2 bridesmaids in Australia :)}

It's always such a pleasure working with nice people and creating pieces that they will love as well! You may have noticed that my Etsy shop is dwindling down. This is because I will be adding new items to the shop very soon! :)
I'm excited about this!
If you have any ideas of what you would like to see in my shop, please let me know! I love feedback :)
As for the rest of the day, I am drinking some hot tea to soothe my throat and hopefully working on some custom orders soon when I feel much better.

{SALE} + new inventory coming soon & I need your ideas :)

Here's the deal, between being a momma to a 3 1/2 month old, wife to a handsome husband, nursing student, crafter, and checker at the local grocery store--I have very little time to create new items for my shop.
I have been trying to prioritize but I find it getting harder and harder and I'm getting tired. I have so many ideas in my head for new items for my shop but sadly, I haven't been able to implement them.
I am craving the sense of {creativity} right about now folks!
In 2 weeks though, I am able to leave my job (thank you Jesus!) and hopefully have more time for my crafting!
{YAY!}
I am in the middle of finishing up some recent orders & I want to sell the rest of my inventory to make room for all new goodies! :)
Everything is on sale so hurry before it's all gone.

MUSTARD! The color of course :)

Ok, I must admit, I used to hate the color of mustard yellow but for the past couple of months, I have seen this color pop up everywhere and I have fallen in love with it! :) I even created a hairpiece inspired by this color...(which is available HERE)

This piece has been featured in so many different treasuries as well--because why? EVERYONE has been raving over this delightful hue! :)
Take a look for yourself HERE at the treasuries on etsy.

So, in honor of all that is mustard...I give you a little montage of this much loved color!
