Ask and you shall receive.

You asked for them, here they are, simple bows!



Attached to a double prong, partially lined, non-slip grip clip, they measure approximately 4" and sell for $3 each.

Another Sneaky Peek

August is a big month for Bootsie Marie Boutique. I am participating in my first outdoor show and it is a whopper! Two 8 hour days on August 22-23, 2009 at the Glenwood Avenue Arts Festival in Chicago. (Northside...HOLLA!) Eh-hmmmm, back to business.

So, I have been busy thinking, researching, making...trying to come up with some fresh ideas because who wants to see the same old stuff every show???

I came across a SUPER cute puppy embellishment and the Ruthie Puppy was born! Named after our Golden Retriever, Ruthie, of course!



Ruthie Puppy will officially debut at my August show, although Josie has already been sporting her and I do have some orders in my book. She will be available in a variety of flower colors, attached to a lined clippie with a non-slip grip, and will be priced at $3.00.

Debuting in August...

Skinny Headbands! The price has not been decided upon yet, but will either be $3 or $4.

Not only will I be offering stretchy skinny headbands, but also traditional plastic headbands too! Many color combinations as well as custom will be offered. SO CUTE!

Josie modeled the latest in Bootsie Marie hair pretties at a friend's baby shower and I had orders before the shower even began. :o) (If you click on the photos you can see an enlarged view.)

Chicago Cubs Flip Flops

WOW! These have TAKEN OFF (Much to my hubby's dismay. GO WHITE SOX!) and are the cause of my late nights and need for caffeine!




Flip flops are the ONLY ITEMS I am going to take orders for at this time. They are $15 and colors may vary based on ribbon availability but I can guarentee you they will be CUTE CUTE CUTE! Any team, college, MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL can be made!

Please email me with any questions. bootsiemarie@ymail.com

Many Thanks!
Jill

It's that time...

I should have posted this last week but I have been swamped with flip flops. (THANK YOU, TAHNK YOU!)

The time has come where Bootsie Marie Boutique is no longer accepting any orders or doing any sales until after the Glenwood Avenue Fest in Chicago, August 22-23, 2009.

I am in MAKE MAKE MAKE mode!

Come see myself, Jordan and Mary! Jordan pressured me into it and I, being a lovely friend to Mary, pressured and guilted her into it! :o) We have become quite the trio at craft shows. :o) Mary, by the way, makes GORGEOUS usable glass art...think margarita glasses, pitchers, plates...AND sells super yummy Tastefully Simple! We became fast friends over Beer Bread. :o)

Please visit www.glenwoodave.org to see where we will be!

Thank you all for your understanding!

Say It With A Sign

I think by now everyone has figured out that I love to support those who sell handmade items and I like to feature local talent.

My latest purchase is from Say It With A Sign.

How cute is this?!?!?! Please ignore any little finger prints or Golden Retriver nose prints. :o)




If you are looking for any "word" art (especially anything custom), please consider placing an order with Say It With A Sign, instead of a large retailer or home party company. :o)

Northside vs. Southside

Even though it breaks my hubby's heart, I not only made White Sox bows, but also their Northside Rivals, the Cubs. In addition to Chicago's beloved teams, I can do any team you request.

Here 2 examples of what I am offering for $3.50 each, although I should charge 3x more for a Cubs bow. :o) I have other designs that I will also be offering and have finally started listing some items on Etsy. :o)
