This cute hairband is a great accent to an updo whether its to run on errands or go out for a night with your friends! Super cute and comfy!

SHOP HAIRBANDS!

Coming Soon... Fun Coasters!

Hehe I love finding a new craft that I love. Today was a lot of fun. I bought 6 colors of felt, cut, sewed and put them together to form the cutest little sets. With friends buying new homes, having babies and just having parties in general, I always have a hard time thinking of what to bring. Dessert or wine has always been the usual from us. But I wanted to come up with a few new ideas to maybe add to the old ones.

Each set has 6 coasters that have cute decorative edges and stitches. They are the perfect size for a glass or mug and come in the pretties colors. Shown abive are the pink/grey/ coffee combo and the blue /cream/ camel combo.

I will be listing them soon to Kiss My Style but want to add a few more color combos first. Right now you can find them at Nibbles & Bits in Dunmore (344-1955).
Cheers!

A simple brooch can make all the difference

Sometimes all you need to spic up an outfit is a little color. Brooches are wonderful ways to change a look from casual to business to evening to morning. Spring is here and these lightweight beauties spice up spring jackets, blazers, belt loops, purses, even t-shirts. Affordable enough to own a few - experiment! Compliments will be a common occurrence.

The above brooch by artisan thejunebride.etsy.com is a wonderful way to enter spring with color! This reclaimed wool brooch measures approximately 3.25”-3.75” across and features a convenient easy open-and-close hinged pin on the back for safety and security.

Next are the felted brooches by artisan LISAandLUCY.etsy.com These pieces have been wet felted and left to dry so the ends of the flower curl over creating a more realistic effect. Various glass beads on wire create three stamens that can be bent however you choose. The flower and stem measure 4" tall and 3 1/2" at the wide area.

This adorable brooch by artisan nancyknitsandstuff.etsy.com is a unique approach to a floral brooch! A bird brooch made with a miniature green hued bird and vintage and new millinery pieces. The bird is perched on top of a button and items are wrapped and tied with a silk ribbon. Some glue for extra security. Millinery pieces include velvet leaves, flowers and a spun cotton mushroom.

Happy decorating your spring wardrobe!
Cheers,
