{Vintage Dreams} photo shoot featuring a bridal headpiece by {Love Sparkle Pretty}

Recently, I was so fortunate to be able to work with Desiree from Desiree Shuey Photography! She contacted me to create a headpiece that would match her vision of this {Vintage Dreams} bridal photo shoot she had planned. I was so excited to get to work on something completely new for me! I created a bridal cap using delicate lace, pearls and gold detail. I completely love how this piece turned out and love even more how it coordinated with the gorgeous dress Desiree used for the shoot (which was her moms wedding gown)! The ever so lovely Mindy modeled it beautifully along with hair and makeup done by Vanessa of MUAH by Vanessa Irizarry. LOVE!
Colette of Brier Rose created all of the florals for this shoot. I am in AWE of her work! Swoon worthy right?!
 Here is a peak at this gorgeous shoot!

After a morning "Valentine Tea" with women's bible study, it's now time to spend the day with the husband at the theater and grab some lunch! :)

Taking a {BREAK} + GIVEAWAY Reminder--Ends TONIGHT

I have decided that after one more post tonight (deciding the winner for my giveaway), I will be taking a break from my blog as well as from my etsy shop.
In the meantime, I will be finishing up lots of orders I have received and then taking a little "breather" to spend some time with my family and slowing down a bit.
As many of you know, I am a nursing student as well as wife and mommy along with keeping up with my love of crafting--but sometimes it can be a bit much for one person. I just finished a class and I start another one in about 2 weeks so before then, I want to enjoy some down time and relax for a little while.
I will be on a "break" for about 2 weeks but I will be back in the swing of things again soon!

Some things I have lined up for the blog afterwards are pictured below as a little "preview." :) {Enjoy}


Just a reminder, I will be choosing the winner TONIGHT for my 100 followers blog giveaway for this dainty rosette necklace. :) So get your enteries in now before 5pm California time! lol
Thank you guys sooo very much! I love all of the support and love I have received! You guys are the best! :)  {Have a BEAUTIFUL day}

Saturday's Craft Show

This past Saturday morning, I woke up at 3:00am to get ready to go to Helendale for mine & my grandmother's first craft show together! After leaving around 5:00am, we arrived at our booth around 6:15am to start setting up! With one large cup of hot chocolate down, my grandmother and I were prepared to start decorating our table! When we first saw where our booth was set up, we were a little taken back because we thought that our space would be a bit larger but we worked with what we were given and it eventually all worked out!
Overall, it was a pretty successful day and I received a lot of compliments on my displays and so many people took my business cards for future orders as well! :)
Not to mention, my grandmother and I got to spend a lot of quality time together and we had a lot of fun so it made the day well worth it on top of it all!


Here are some photos of the day!

{Enjoy}

When I first completed my table display :)

I used a window that I bought and repainted from the antique store as a part of my display. My husband attached the chicken wire to it so I can clip some of my pieces onto it!

{Pretty Pretty Bebe} Headbands I created for little girls :)


My last minute card holder! :) I had a teacup in my craft room & grabbed it a couple minutes before we left! lol It worked!


Our "model" that showcased an adorable scarf my grandma made and a flower piece I made. This shows that you can also wear my hairpieces attached to clothing items :)






My grandmother and I at our booth :)



Thank you to all who stopped by & thank you for all the support we received! :)
