Market mishap!

I didn't have my camera with me, so I'm sorry that I can't show you what happened. Yesterday, it was windy at the Pier Street Market: http://www.pierstreet.com/market/ Although I have weights for my tent, one broke, so I only have three. Well, a gust of wind came up and took my tent over! It bent one of the legs underneath it. There are only four markets left for the season and I was not going to be at the next two for a family vacation. So, I will not be attending The Pier Street Market for the remainder of the season.

I really enjoy doing my market and am very disappointed that I won't be there for the remainder of the season.

I just had my other set of curtains made for my market tent, too. They are hot pink, black and white:

This is the first set that I had made. The 2nd set looks just the same.

Well, I'm off to buy a new market tent, probably a Caravan......

Hair Flair - Alligator Clips


Good day!

As mentioned previously, I started Hair Flair with creating Alligator Clips. What is so unique about these nickel plated hair clips is each one has a magnet inserted for even better staying power. Each clip is also lined with the highest quality of velvet ribbon that comes out of Switzerland. I also treat the ends of the ribbon to prevent any fraying. I top each one with an appliqué (or in the case of the picture shown, two appliqués).

I sell at a local market: Pier Street Market: http://www.pierstreet.com/market/ I have a following of Mom's that buy 'just one' each Sunday. I truly feel that their repeat business is a true testament to the quality of my creations.

I don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't making Hair Flair - probably going stir crazy! LOL!

I couldn't believe it the first time I saw my Hair Flair 'out and about'. I just about died! But, in a good way! It was like a dream come true , actually. Her Mom, Lisa, allowed me to take photos. I took three and one of them turned out AWESOME! So good, that I use it for my promotional material. The baby girl's name is Pheonix. She has a lot of Hair Flair now! That was last year and she still wears Hair Flair religiously!
