custom design LOVE

 Have I ever mentioned how.much.i.LOVE doing this?! Not yet today? Well I do. I love everything about this small handmade business.


I love making custom pieces for people. Some of my favorite designs have been thought up by others. I simply brought their ideas {or if we wanna get warm and fuzzyyyyy "dreams"} to life.


I have this friend. She wanted a headband. Her requests:
rhinestones
lace
feathers
shiny pink fabric
flowers

all together.

My first thoughts?
WOAH 
that's a lot of bedazzlings on one headband.
I don't know if one head can handle all that outlandishness.


So I got to work the other night piecing together all the shineys and  fuzzys and pretties into her headband and as I'm working.
I    realized that I was 
 SLOWLY

FALLING
IN
LOVE
and I decided to add pearls. I did this because it was the ONLY embellishment not used. The pearls felt left out. Can't have that.




Many thanks to my awesome customers who continually blow me away with the creative custom orders.

I knew you'd love this one so much ...
