Recently. {pretty pieces + free coffee + naps}

Lately, I have been a busy body working on several different orders ranging from wedding pieces to cute flower hairpieces. It's such a blessing to do what I love!
I'm still trying to juggle a busy "work schedule" with home life and it's a little difficult since I work from home. Although I make my own schedule, I still have deadlines to meet and people counting on me so getting into a routine is my challenge. If you have any advice, this wife, mommy and handmade business owner would much appreciate it! :)
In the mean time, here are some of my recent orders/pieces of handcrafted love.

{enjoy}

This was a custom order of boutonnieres that I just sent out to Illinois. It was such a pleasure to work with the bride on her adornments for the guys. Although there was a lot of "mind changing" on her end, this bride was so funny and positive which made working with her a joy! I can't wait to see the photos of the big day!

These 3 hairpieces were made for a really good friend of mine. They are so fun and perfect for spring!

For the first time, I created a garter set (yes I am admitting this) and I absolutely ADORE them! I used vintages broaches, rhinestones, feathers, chiffon, and hand cut lace to create these pretty little treasures. I have another custom order for a garter set and will be adding garters to the shop soon!

This antique-inspired boutonniere just went out to Georgia to adorn a prom date. I love getting orders for high school homecoming dances and prom! Reminds me of those funny memories that seem to have taken place so long ago.

This one of a kind bridal hairpiece was sent out to Alabama for a wedding that is actually taking place tomorrow! So happy for this bride and I can't wait to see the photos!

That's about it for the sharing of some recent orders. Makes me so happy to be able to send a little piece of my craft room to someone else's doorstep miles away. :)

Other than working in the craft room, I have also:
*started a new devotion in the book of Matthew
*received a free cup of coffee from Starbucks (whoop!)
*killed a gigantic spider while just about having an anxiety attack
*been puked on by my oh so adorable son
*received {just because} flowers from the husband

*opened up my new Gussy Sews package-hello super cute camera strap cover

*made an entire platter of food for women's bible study-pretty proud of myself because I will usually just pick something up from the store
*took a small afternoon nap because sometimes, the need succeeds the want

Have a beautiful weekend my friends!

Newest Pieces Made! Crafty, Crafty!

I have been working on a couple new projects and just wanted to share a little post on them :)I have received a few orders for some June weddings and finished a custom piece using magnolia petals, ivory chiffon, ivory french veiling, feathers, and a crystal broach.


This was originally part of a piece called HAILEY--Modeled by my beautiful friend Crystal :)
I created the flower by itself though instead of attached to a "halo" and I love it! I'm so excited to see photos of the beautiful bride that I created this piece for!
 
I am also currently working on 6 boutonnieres for another June wedding using the colors Blue/Lavender, light gray, and blush for the color palette. I can't wait to finish these because these are going to be beautiful! I love the colors that were chosen! :)
 
I also have another custom wedding hairpiece for a wedding in August. The color palette will be ivory with a bit of light pink for an accent (love the light fabric I have for this piece!) A birdcage veil will also go with this piece and a post will be on it's way about this one. :)
 
Yesterday, I received--and completed an order for a prom hairpiece--which so happens to be this friday in North Carolina! Usually, I don't take on custom orders with such a short period of time to complete but I did (& so happy I did!). It turned out so beautifully and was made to match the dress that will be worn (which is STUNNING btw).
I created this piece with ivory magnolia petals, 3 types of lace, aqua & ivory feathers, aqua blue chiffon fabric, gray/silver satin, and a bunch of different beads that I sewn to the center. These beads match the bits of beaded detail on the dress. :)
I can't wait to see photos soon of the dress and hairpiece together! :)
I ALSO made a new necklace (just about done).
I call this one
{Vintage
Tresures}
& I LOVE it!!!!
This will be available SOON in the
Love Sparkle Pretty Shop
 
Anywho, I still have a couple more orders to complete as well so I shall go and start those too :)
Let me just say though, that I LOVE what I do!
When I get to create something for somebody else who really loves it as well, it makes me so happy!
THANK YOU!!!
 
{Have a BEAUTIFUL day!}

Mustard Yellow Bridal Hairpiece {SNEAK PEEK}

I am finishing up a custom bridal hairpiece for a lovely wedding in California. The bride-to-be contacted me wanting a one of a kind piece inspired by a hairpiece I created I couple months ago {view post here}. She wanted mustard yellow accents added to the ivory palette & I did just that!
It came out soo pretty! I love the mustard and ivory together!
This bridal piece is made up of ivory magnolia flower petals, 3 types of laces, small pearl accents, champagne and ivory goose feathers, gold skeleton leaves, ivory muslin with gold sparkles, mustard yellow fabic, & a crystal broach for the center.


I am also finishing up a detachable birdcage veil to go along with this flower hairpiece. I can't wait to send it off and see photos of the big day in April! :D

Corinne & Violet! Two NEW Additions for Saturday!

This Saturday is the big craft show event that I will be a part of in Helendale! It crept up on me so fast and now I am scrambling to create new hair pieces while still finishing orders I received on etsy! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it...I just wish I wasn't such a procrastinator at times! :D

Well, I have managed to create about 15 new pieces for the craft show on top of my usual pieces and I wanted to share 2 new additions that will be available this Saturday! Here they are!

{Enjoy}

{Corinne}
This lovely piece was created using large burgundy purple peony petals, black marabou feathers, sparkley black leaves, and a large black sparkler brooch for the center.






{Violet}

I created this piece with deep violet chrysanthemum petals (hence the name), black and white spotted guinea feathers, black marabou feathers, black sparkley leaves, and a pearl brooch for the center.




I love these two deep purple hair pieces and I can't wait to add them to the collection on Saturday! Also, there are lots more new additions to be shared (including my new pieces-"the petites") so keep an eye out for new posts! :)

A couple of days ago, I finished the first wedding hairpiece to my new bridal collection & I have got to say...I'm IN LOVE with it!
I used 5 different types of lace (incl. vintage lace from the antique shop), ivory chiffon, ivory french veiling, a crystal sparkler for the center, 1 ivory Turkey Plumage feather, & 4 light blue Turkey Plumage feathers to add that "something blue" to a beautiful wedding day!

Here's a little sneak peek to
