Lower Prices

Again, I lowered my prices on my hair bows. I have done this twice now since opening my website. Obviously, as a "business woman" it's not something that one would want to do. But, as a mom it's something that is necessary, espcially in our troubled economy. The down side is that I am now charging for shipping. Bows will be shipped in boxes, so they will not get smashed, and will continue to hold their shape in the shipping process. Other items will be shipped in tyvek envelopes; these are very sturdy envelopes, and do not tear, so items will be protected. They are also wrapped in tissue paper to keep clean.

Stacked bows, bows with loops, and bows with sprays are now $4.00. Most of them had been marked to $6.00
Boutique bows (small, medium, or large) are $3.00 each; lowered from $4-5.00, a matching pair of boutique bows will be $5.00
There are some very simple stacked boutiqie bows that fall directly between the prices at $3.50 each
Small bows and lined clips are $2.00 each, sometimes they will be $2.00 for a pair if they are simple or $3.00 for a pair if they take more time to make

At this time, prices for other products are not being lowered since these items cost more to make. I hope that by lowering these prices, that it will allow more mothers to afford adorable hair accessories for their daughter (s).

Pillow case dresses







GG's Collections


GG's Collections are created by Gretchen's gran (my mother).


My mother is a much better seamstress than I am, so I begged her to help create pillow case dresses for my little honey. And now, these adorable dresses are available to you!


At this time, we aren't making any pillow case dresses in advance. We want you to be able to fully customize your daughter's dress! If we make these dresses in advance, then you won't be able to choose key pieces to seperate your daughter's clothes from other's. GG will make a sample dress, that will be posted online. If you see a dress that you want, then you can order a dress that is pictured because we will have extra fabric available to create your dress. Then, you can make changes to ribbon color, hemlines, and monogramming.


You can also order a coordinating hair bow to match your dress! If you see a dress online that you would like us to create, send us a picture! Or, if you have colors and fabric in mind, let us know! Even if we don't have it available, we can create it for you!


We work with our customers to make sure they are satisfied! Let us work with you to create a custom pillow case dress for your daughter!


Pillow case dresses can be worn with leggings or jeans and with short or long sleeve shirts underneath. Once a dress becomes too short, it becomes an adorable shirt for your little honey!

Bunny and Carrot Clippie





How adorable for Easter! I found instructions to make a bunny rabbit and carrot clippie. I've listed these on my website, for only $5.00 each! The bunny sits on a non-slip alligator clip partially lined with light pink ribbon. The bunny has small googly eyes and an adorable satin pink bow tie. The carrot serves as a delicious bunny snack, also on a partially lined non-slip alligator clip.




You can buy these instructions to make your own from:

Accessorize your little honey!

Custom hair bows, tutus, bling, burp cloths, and pillow case dresses.

Newbie!


Okay, here is my very first blog post! Wow, am I intimidated! I'm not sure what I'll use this blog for, even though I've named it after my small home business, or should I say my home-hobby. Right now, I think that I'll use it for a little bit of everything. Updates on my life, my family, my daughter, and my business.


Just a little about me: My name is Elaine. I have been married for 3 years to DJ, who works as a college football video coordinator. We have a 14 month old little girl, Gretchen. I am originally from Arkansas; all of my family is still there. I have a masters degree in communication disorders. I work as a speech therapist in our local school system. I provide therapy for children of all ages, from 3-18! My favorite age is the preschoolers, but I am really enjoying working with the high school kids this year.


After having Gretchen, I started making hair bows, since I couldn't find any in our area. Personally, I like them a little over the top, and just couldn't find any where we live. So, after starting to make them, I started selling them online. Thankfully, it's just enough to support my habits of buying ribbon! I also learned to make tutu skirts and tutu halter dresses. And expanded into "bling" shirts, burp cloths, and with the help of my mother, pillow case dresses.


So, wow, that's it! I hope you all enjoy!
