pink & white tutu

I made this tutu with alternating pink and white stripes. It was also made a few inches longer for a 5-year old.....accented with a big, black grosgrain bow.......adorable.

triple party

Tonight, I have another in-home party, but this one is a triple-party. This hostess is having a mini-craft-show tonight with three seperate vendors.

I will be there showing my bows and Jamie from Designs By Jamie will be there as well as Holli from Uppercase Living.

Should be fun! I'll keep you posted!

October is just about FULL

Just an FYI......if you were hoping to book a party in October......I only have about 7 nights/afternoons left to choose from.

My calendar filled up so fast and with the two parties I have coming up this Sunday & Monday......it is sure to be completly filled after those.

Let me know if you are interested in a party in October. The Halloween bows are selling fast!!!

Craft Sale

Come and see me this Sunday at the St. Stan's Craft Bazaar. St. Stans is located right next to the hospital. I know Designs By Jamie will be there as well and I think Pampered Chef and Gold Canyon candles too.

Sunday 10:00-4:30 pm

FREE admission

Come and see me!

TuTu's

Are these cute or what? I do two kinds of TuTu's. Ribbon Organza TuTu's with matching rosettes or Tulle TuTu's. They are both adorable. I can even make a matching pony-o for her hair with organza ribbons and rosettes.

I am so happy with the way these turned out and they look even cuter in person.

Tut's are special order only, as I have to custom fit them to the size of your little princess.

Come and see them in person this Sunday 10-4:30 at the St. Stan's Craft Bazaar.

A BIG Thank-You...

These turned out cute for a little girl......but I think they would be even cuter on a baby with little to no hair......the bows are interchangeable.

Announcing.................

FINALLY!

I am so excited to share my little adventure with all of you. I have been working on this for months and months and I am thrilled to finally be able to share my news!

Josie-Girl Bowtique was created first and foremost because I LOVE to be creative. I have always had creative juices flowing through me and I love to be able to design and create.

My daughter, Josie is definitely my inspiration for this little adventure. I started making hair bows and barrettes for her shortly after a very scary mishap. When Josie was 10 months old, she pulled a small barrette (the small bendy type barrettes) from her hair and put it in her mouth. She was cradled in a rear-facing car seat so she was inclined and it immediately slipped down her throat. I heard a slight cough come from her and immediately noticed that her barrette was missing. We were on our way out of town and I insisted that Brad and I take her to the ER. He thought I was nuts and was sure the barrette probably fell to the floor. I had this mothers intuition that told me otherwise. Sure enough, she had swallowed the barrette. The doctors at our local hospital were not able to remove it, so we quickly made our way to a bigger hospital in Spokane, where they would help us. Josie had another x-ray and the barrette had not moved an inch (in over 6 hours) so she was put under and had a quick surgical procedure to have it removed. From that day forward, I never used those small barrettes again.

I have been designing and creating hair bows and barrettes endlessly. I have about 10 different types of bows and barrettes that I am creating. All of which come in a huge variety of colors, textures, sizes and with so many different embellishments. I use high quality grosgrain ribbon as well as velvet & sheer organza. Josie-Girl bows and barrettes are perfect for girls of all ages and for all occasions.....birthdays, baby showers, holidays, back-to-school and just because. All bows and barrettes come gift-ready on a beautiful display card and make perfect gifts.

One aspect of my business is that I will be using etsy to share and sell my hair bow creations. If you have never heard of etsy, you are missing out. It is awesome. You will find such neat things for sale there. My website is josiegirlbowtique.etsy.com The site is not completely ready yet, but I really hope to have it ready to go in the next few weeks. I am going on vacation soon, and I might wait until I come home until it is "open for business". I will keep you posted.

Another way that I will be sharing my product is through in-home "Josie-Girl Bowtique" parties. Hostesses can earn FREE hair bows and barrettes by hosting a party in their home. I will bring a selection of bows and guests can shop from the bows on display. Invite friends, family, playgroups, etc. and encourage them to bring outfits to match. If I don't have a pre-made bow to match, we can create a custom order.

I am super excited about this and I hope you are too. I have gotten such AMAZING feedback and encouragement. I have already had a bunch of orders and gals already wanting & waiting to host a party in their home.

Stay tuned for a sneak-peak at some of the bows I have already created....
