BIG Flower Flip Flops




I'm pretty sure that flip flops are my favorite footwear of all time.... seriously, as a Midwesterner I wear flip flops until there is snow on the ground, and as soon as it melts (even if the temps are still sub-0) they go right back on. So, in honor of my favorite shoes, I made some hand sewn flowers, and with the help of an awl to punch holes in the plastic straps, sewed the flowers directly onto the shoe.... That's right, all hand crafted/ hand sewn and no hot glue! These are just a couple previews... the rest will be up in the shop within the week!





Have a special occasion you need a comfy yet classy pair of shoes for? Looking for the perfect bride or bridesmaid shoe? These are available in an assortment of sizes, colors, and flowers, and all for the very reasonable price of $10.50. Contact me for more information!

Ruffle Scarves


I have definitely been absent from blogging and facebooking lately (sorry!).... but I have a very good reason! Last weekend I hosted a table at an Arts & Crafts Fair in Rockford, IL..... Much of my time and energy this past month was devoted to getting items made and ready to sell (not to mention maintaining my other full time job as wife and mother extraordinaire!). Now that it's over, I am VERY excited to share with you a few new creations, the first being my new favorite: RUFFLE SCARVES!



A scarf is an easy way to dress up, add color, or give flair to any outfit. What's unique about these scarves is the ruffles which add a bit of eye catching detail! I also love that they are made from a cotton/nylon material so they are super lightweight which makes them a perfect accessory for summer. For $12 each, they are a steal! I will be listing them at the shop shortly... stay tuned!
