Woven Headbands

PHEW! Just when I think I have enough going on, I take on a new product.

I had been admiring the works of the talented ladies in my bow group and decided I needed to give woven headbands a shot. Here is what I produced on my first try:





At the suggestion of my peers the flower on all future headbands will be detachable and the set (the woven headband and flower clip) will sell for $8.

Coming up soon (I swear my brain NEVER STOPS!), a new line of felt flower button clippies thanks to my hubby winning some $$$ in a raffle. WOOT!

Momma Needs a Vaca!

Let me tell ya, Disney in September CAN'T.COME.FAST.ENOUGH! I have finally (officially) stopped taking orders. Yeah, yeah, I have said it before, but it is true, so don't tempt me by emailing me. :o)

This week's focus has been my new stretchy headbands, next week...who knows! I am already fried. :o)

Here is a small sampling of my efforts. Please ignore my lousy set-up, I am lame lately...well, always!

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
