Happy Monday!

So it's Monday again. Yay!  If I keep saying that will it get better?

So here is the latest. A whole bunch of new bows and flowers were posted yesterday, and a new contest to win a bow.  Guess the day we get to 500 fans on Facebook and you could win a bow of Michele's choice! We are sponsoring a couple of giveaways too right now at Swan Lake ETC and Stargazinglilly,

There will be some new korkers posted today, but the twirl skirts are delayed due to a massive power outage in Monterey, CA.  .

Current goings on

Here is the current updates of what is going on here. 
We have been busily working on some new items and a really big order in between kid wrangling. 
Robyn entered a dress made from her husband"s uniform in a contest over at the Boutique Challenge Group and won the challenge.  We had a comment sale there last night, and also next Tuesday so if you are looking for some cute, discounted items they are there!

We are also currently doing our 250 fan giveaway on Facebook, so if you haven't entered, you have until Friday. All you have to do is comment on the picture in the album "250 fan giveaway" with 4 numbers between 1 and 30.  No liking 6 different pages or standing on your head or anything.

Michele has been busily making some new hair candy using some vintage jewlery. I can't wait to put up pictures of it! Robyn has been tying korkers like mad and they will be up on the page soon too. 

Well, better get back to Wednesday nagging of the 4th grader to do his school work....

I think I have an addiction....

Yes you read that right. I think I have an addiction....to baby hairbows.  Once upon a time I was the mom of 2 boys. They have cute clothes with monsters,hockey players and such on them ,but lets face it. Boys don't accesorize and they don't care. The oldest thinks plaids and stripes are great together...what does it mater as long as he wears clothes right? And don't get me started on the toddler. 

But then I had a baby girl.....and a whole new world was opened up to me. I mean I have 2 neices so I have bought girl stuff before, but it was mostly "let's go get your cousin a gift quickly before the boys knock over all the racks or become allergic to pink".  When she was born I didn't even know where to start. All the baby stores around us had blah stuff. I would see cute hairbows on other little girls and have "hairbow envy". Then I discovered (thanks to a good friend) that there were websites with hairbows...Lots of hairbows!!  I bought them for my neice too and infected her with the pretty hairbow bug. Then I had to make my own because I needed particular colors, then because it was fun, and now here I am.  Everything is a blur.........where is my ribbon and glue gun??

Blogging

So we decided to start blogging about life and craziness in general. To introduce ourselves, we are 2 sisters by marriage (Robyn and Michele) who love to do handcrafts.

Robyn is a stay at home mom of 3 with a school ager,a toddler and an infant so of course her house is crazy.
Michele is a working girl with a preteen and a school ager so she is crazy in a different way.

Hopefully we can entertain you along the way and share some online boutiques we love (as well as our own)!

Got to go, I have dueling harmonicas from the toddler and the schoolboy and something smells funny..............
