Happy Friday!!!

I get asked all the time from customers wondering what

I make in my shop..

well here are a few things that I have been working on!

 

New Rosie headbands.. they tie in the front for a vintage look

or back for the traditional look!

Rosie headbands are made out of scraps from

my wrap skirts & are only $8 each!

 

 

My signature piece is... my handmade

one of a kind wrap skirts!

I have been making these for almost 7 yrs & each one is one

of a kind as well as one size!

 

I also really love working with wool felt!

I have a few suppliers (all small businesses) that I order

from! The colors are rich & vibrant.. not too mention

the felt is a really nice quality!

 

I made up these super cute fun brooch/ hair clip combos

in fun Fall colors! They have a double back ..

so you can wear it as a brooch or hair clip!

 



 

New for Fall.. chevron wrap skirts! I may be a little

late to the "chevron" trend, but I am

loving this heavier weight fabric!

There will only be about 6 of these total..

so hurry in before they are gone!

 



 

Shop hours are 10-5 today!!! Have a great day!!!
