Lots of strange (good) things have been happening to me this last week. Things that have just been freaking me out. Yesterday was no exception.
I figured out that I messed up my show schedule yesterday. You would think having 2 electronic calendars and one paper calendar, I would have my act together...not quite! I discovered that I had myself scheduled for a show on the weekend of my 15th class reunion, which with the help of our whole class, I have been trying to get planned. DOH! Scott and I both have reunions this year, two weekends in a row, to add to the craziness!
SOOOOOO, unfortunately I had to cancel my appearance at the Conant High School show. :o(
I found another show that I thought would be fun and called for information yesterday. Last night I had a message that the coordinator of the show had just found my business card (she saw me at another show) and WAS GOING TO CALL ME!!! CREEPY!!!!
Sooooooo, my October show will be:
October 3, 2009
Coal City Junior Women's Club Octoberfest
9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Downtown area of Coal City
I love when it all works out!

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!

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.)
