THREE hot deal of the day items!!!!

I decided to do not 1, not 2 but THREE items today for Fabulous Fun Finds
HOT DEAL OF THE DAY!!!!!
All items are available for purchase to the right------------->
I have limited quantities on hand for each item which is why I decided to do 3!!!
For some reason paypal didn't display the prices...
The Vintage Couture is $14 SHIPPED!!!
The Eclair is $15 SHIPPED!!!
 Sweetheart Bracelet is $14 SHIPPED!!!
AND it comes with a pretty white jewelry gift box!!
Perfect for gift giving!!!!
If you purchase a headband please leave me the age of the wearer in the comments to seller on paypal when checking out! This will save me loads of time and allows me to get your product to you faster!
Thanks!

Depending on how sales go will determine whether or not I will ship them before Christmas!
If you are purchasing for Christmas or as a Christmas gift, PLEASE let me know!!!!
I have somehow lost the help of my sister (she just didn't show up, LOL)
So I have been back to doing everything by myself!
I put 1-2 weeks as my turnaround time due to.....
due to....
well, LIFE! lol!
My husband has a full time job where he works 3-11 P.M.
during the day he works as a contractor so he is gone, A LOT!
Some days I'm able to get a lot done somedays not so much.
It all depends on how my kids are behaving, lol!
If they start getting stir crazy, cabin fever, or just plain bored,  I put everything down and either spend time with them or get them out of the house!
I hope this helps you to understand me a little better and why my turnaround time can be so long!:(
If I had it my way, the MINUTE I receive an order I start on it right away, finish it, package it up and get it in the mail the next day!
MY DREAM!:)
*sigh*
One day, hopefully!
Well, happy shopping and Merry Christmas!!
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at Princynparis@gmail.com

Why I do what I do

I captured this picture of Paris last night while asleep.
I don't have many of her sleeping:)
 I didn't dare go into her room when she was a wee babe for fear of waking her.
She is now a better sleeper and I can sneak in there and stare at her from time to time.
She is my heart,
my love,
my life....
She is why I do what I do!
 I would have never thought to make hair accessories with 2 boys running around, lol!
Once I knew I was having a girl I became obsessed with finding the prettiest things to dress her in! I then discovered ETSY!
A whole new world was opened up to me!
I have a love for handmade items.
It's what my mother did for all of the ladies in our church when we were little:)
She made ruffled lace and eyelet socks, sometimes embellished with tiny ribbon rolled roses and satin ribbons. She would make make ruched fabric covered elastic headbands with lace flowers.
On occasion (such as Easter or Christmas) she would make me and my sister matching dresses.
The kind with petti skirts underneath that would allow for maximum twirl power, lol!!
So, I guess you can say I get it from her:)

I have self taught myself how to make everything! I have worked hard on trying to figure out new and different ways to make things work and to offer versatility! I love versatility!!!:)
I have stumbled across copycats here and there. It's not a good feeling seeing someone steal your ideas and make profit from it! One HUGE source of my inspiration has been Joyfolie formally known as Mia Joie. I first discovered her on etsy. She has since then become so in demand that she sells out within seconds of posting the most adorable shoes you will ever see for little girls and some boys!
I am addicted and faithful to her work!
I have so much respect for what she does.

I always love to give credit where credit is due! It's only fair to give the originator the credit for their work and their designs!
Apparently a LOT of people in the handmade world do NOT feel the same.
I stumbled across someone last night who has been using a LOT of my ideas.
I was furious beyond words!
I almost lost my Christianity over it! (ok,not really)
All I could do is sit there and think of everything I wanted to say to this person.
What do you say?!?
"STOP using my ideas!!!"
Um, yeah, like that will work.
All I can do is ask for everyone to have respect for one another and their work.
If you are going to use someones ideas than please give the originator the credit.


Ok, so on a lighter note here is a pic of my new Sweet heart bracelet!!! YAY!
I L.O.V.E it!!!! =)
<3 <3 <3

Made with white glass pearls, pink swarovski jewels and one swarovski heart charm. Beautiful bright pink velvet ribbon tie this beautiful bracelet together:)
I had made Paris many bracelets when she was a newborn.
I made them super tiny and out of elastic string.
She has since grown out of them so I thought I would start making them again!:)
PERFECT for Valentines day or any day!!!
XOXO


P.S. sorry for my rambling, one good thing about blogs, ya get to vent, let it ALL out and move on! lol! Hugs!
Would also love to hear if you think I should make this one of my Hot deal of the day, items??!!

The Cats Meow

Introducing a new headband named The Cats Meow:)Available in Raspberry, off white, and soft pink.
 I have a love for most things Leopard! Mix in some shabby chic elements and it becomes a must for me!:)
I normally don't do simple...it's just not what I do.
Working as a designer I was told I do frou frou well:)
I actually feel like I struggle with simplicity?! Weird huh?

I decided to do a more simple headband to allow a better price point and a faster turnaround, YAY! Also it's a better choice for everyday use;)
 I LOVE to create more intricate headbands with unique elements but they are more time consuming!:)

I can definitely offer this headband with all the bells and whistles but maybe after the Holidays:)

The off white option is one that will go with so many things!!! I also made this headband with an elastic backing that has slits cut into it and a button is attached to the other end of the headband and you can adjust as your little one grows. I also love the option of using it as a sash with a cute baby doll top or dress!!
I hope to have pics of Miss Paris-Noel modeling it for you soon:)
Each center is made with a Genuine pearl center!
Simply chic!
I'm hoping to finish editing the pics to my families Thanksgiving dinner and blog about it soon!:)
Hope everyone is having a awesome Holiday season so far!
XOXO

Cyber Monday Sale!!!!

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I have some wonderful pictures of my sisters place where we had Thanksgiving Dinner:) I'll share them sometime here in the near future:)

On to my Cyber Monday sale details!! Yay! I'm going to be offering a BOGO sale! Buy one get the other half off, MONDAY ONLY!!! This offer can not be applied to previous purchases! Sorry! Also I will be offering FREE shipping on purchases over $50 PLUS you will get a FREE small flower clippie!!! see pic below...


Purchases OVER $100 will receive a free simple headband similar to the look of the small flower clippie!!:)


Another option that I am offering for the month of December is a "Rush my Order!!" option!! I tend to get a lot of requests to rush orders and they always seem to happen around my busiest time!!! LOL! I don't know how it works out that way but it does. I created a separate listing for an additional $8.50 to ADD to your order! This option will insure that you get your item in the time frame you need it. After payment is received your item will be made and mailed within a 48 hour period and shipped out with Priority shipping! Please note that this is intended for ONE item!! I could not make 4-5 items with a rush put on them. With all that I have on my plate this would not be feasible. Also this feature is available for US residents only!!


I have some new items that will be up in the shop. I still have one or two items still to list, one is called "White Snow Leopard" and I don't have a name for the other but it will be in the colors of Tiffany blue and Red!:) Since custom items take me triple the amount of time to make (sometimes more!)I will not be able to do custom orders. I LOVE LOVE LOVE custom orders because they give me an excuse to work on something new!:) What I can do is make alterations to pre existing pieces!! Meaning if you see something you like but want it in a different color way that will be no problem (as long as I have the colors in fabric you need on hand) I can also alter other pieces in my Etsy shop that may not be Holiday pieces. Just send me a convo or email me at Princynparis@gmail.com :) Well,I hope I covered everything that I wanted to cover!

I hope everyone is having a GREAT Holiday season so far!! I've thoroughly enjoyed my time off with my family!:) We've done Christmas decorating, watched a couple of Christmas movies and planned on going to Williamsburg Christmas Town but after a couple of kinks in our plans we decided to post pone for when are better prepared!:) I still have Christmas pillows and stockings to make! I better do it now or they will never get done!:) I didn't really brave Black Friday like I had originally planned too. I figured that Friday would be a perfect day to start decorating or it would never get done:) Guess I'll have to snag some other sale some other time!:)

SALE of the day!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/59698459/sale-today-only-fire-and-ice-mini

I know I haven't blogged in FOREVER! But since today I'm wrapping up my large wholesale order PLUS doing a HOT deal of the day with Fabulous Fun Finds, I figured why not do a small blog post:)
Every week until Christmas, for ONE DAY ONLY,  I will feature one item from my shop that will be dramatically slashed:) You will never see these prices again on the select items:)
So buy with confidence knowing that you got the deal of the day!:)

Today's Hot deal of the day is my Fire and Ice mini statement necklace:) I saw a model several weeks ago wearing the most adorable mini statement necklace and tried to find where to buy one.
Not finding any sources I decided to make my own and share with you:)
I get a LOT of women who tell me that they wish that their sweet little one would keep hair pretties in. Well, if you have that daughter and want a little pizazz for the Holiday for events, parties, pictures or just hanging with the family than this is the PERFECT accessory for her!:) Moms, I can even make one for you:) I think I'm going to make Paris and me a mommy and me coordinating piece for our family Thanksgiving dinner:)

I never finished my fall decor and have decided to leave it alone for next year. Now on for HOLIDAY decorating!:) What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year?? We will be spending it with my sister and her husband in their adorable city chic apartment:) I will take pics and try to do a blog post about it! Especially since I'm the one who helped picked everything out for them:) teehee;)
