Blessed

I've been blessed to meet some super sweet people while starting my business on ETSY. More often then not everyone is willing to share their tips, tricks, and wisdom on the topics of selling online. One such sweetie is Kathi! I bought this beautiful fabric bowl from her and I plan on buying many more for my new kitchen! Kathi has been so gracious as to feature me on her blog this past week, please go check it out, then head on over to her shop!

MIA

I'm sorry I've been so MIA lately, I've just been having so much fun making stuff for the new Clear and and Simple Stamps events and getting my new business off the ground.
I've started a chic hair accessory shop on Etsy called Lillianna Marie Designs
and it really has become a passion for me. I've always loved creating hair goodies, about five years ago I made silk flower hair clips and sold them from a basket at my church every service. I was the go to girl for trendy Apostolic hair clips and picks. I loved it! Then I started working at a scrapbook store and my accessories were put away until recently! This time around though I've decided to use fabrics. I adore pattern cottons from all the latest designers, it's like your favorite scrapbook paper but wearable, how awesome is that! I've been blessed with meeting wonderfully talented people on Etsy who are willing to sell their fabric scraps to me, and that makes up most of my shop. I try to use these scraps so they don't end up in a dark drawer somewhere or worse yet our landfills. It has been an adventure and so much fun! I've even started doing custom wedding orders for bridesmaids! I feel so blessed to be able to create as a business and I thank the man above for my many blessings!
Here are some of the fun stuff available in my shop! Come take a look! Cute covered button ponytail holders
