I have been working really hard on creating new items for the shop which is why my inventory available is so low on Etsy. I am just waiting for my last package to arrive to my door step so I can start posting all these goodies! Here's a preview of some new pieces!

...Oh! but first! I JUST created a Facebook page for Love Sparkle Pretty (finally) & will be sharing updates, new items, coupon codes and giveaways!
Once I hit 150 "likes," I will be hosting my first GIVEAWAY so be sure to head over HERE--to the FB page & "like" & share! :D (this would mean the world--Thank you)

**NOW, back to the {PREVIEW}**

& more to come of course! :)
What accessories do you like seeing the most?

Want to know what else is on it's way to the
Love Sparkle Pretty Shop?

How about these LOVELY silk flower head bands?
{COMING SOON!}
Here's a sneak peek :)

I recentently created small flower hairpieces for a friend. She asked for smaller ones so that when she gives them as gifts, her friends can wear them on a daily basis. Since I knew they were all nursing students too, our scrubs are {maroon} and I figured, why not add a bit of {maroon} to each one to match our scrubs? Makes sense since we are wearing them every week! So, that's what I did! :)

These little beauties were created with ranuncula petals, hydrangea petals, cherry blossom as well as little daisy petals.

Each flower had a touch of {sparkle} added with a rhinestone for the center and glitter leaves. So cute & with each one about 2-2.5" around, so petite! :)

These can also be created on elastic headbands for little girls or leave them as is--on an alligator clip!

How about you? Would you rather wear a large flower in your hair or a smaller one?

So within a matter of 2 days, I received 3 orders for weddings (one is in IRELAND!), 1 order for a vow renewal (so sweet!), & I started on my projects for 4 baby showers coming up!! I definitely feel blessed and excited to see all of the finished projects! It's an amazing feeling knowing that you are able to be a part of someone's special day through creating something that they will love :)
OH! & within those 2 days, I found out that I was a winner on Sandy A La Mode's blog giveaway! I won $25 shop credit to Salvaged Strawberry! I used that credt to get an amazing pair of vintage heels which should be in my mailbox very soon! :D
(will post photos soon!)
Exciting stuff right?

I'm going to be one busy momma...especially seeing how I start school again in a couple weeks (my first "official" nursing class!) so I need to start creating!!

Here's the list:

OH!!! & my giveaway will on Much Love, Illy's blog on January 30th!!!! I'm still debating what I should give away (hmmm...any ideas on what you really want? View some ideas here) Also, an entry will be to be a follower of my blog so you can get a head start now...::hint hint::

{Have a Beautiful day}

This past Saturday morning, I woke up at 3:00am to get ready to go to Helendale for mine & my grandmother's first craft show together! After leaving around 5:00am, we arrived at our booth around 6:15am to start setting up! With one large cup of hot chocolate down, my grandmother and I were prepared to start decorating our table! When we first saw where our booth was set up, we were a little taken back because we thought that our space would be a bit larger but we worked with what we were given and it eventually all worked out!
Overall, it was a pretty successful day and I received a lot of compliments on my displays and so many people took my business cards for future orders as well! :)
Not to mention, my grandmother and I got to spend a lot of quality time together and we had a lot of fun so it made the day well worth it on top of it all!

Here are some photos of the day!

{Enjoy}

When I first completed my table display :)

I used a window that I bought and repainted from the antique store as a part of my display. My husband attached the chicken wire to it so I can clip some of my pieces onto it!

{Pretty Pretty Bebe} Headbands I created for little girls :)


My last minute card holder! :) I had a teacup in my craft room & grabbed it a couple minutes before we left! lol It worked!


Our "model" that showcased an adorable scarf my grandma made and a flower piece I made. This shows that you can also wear my hairpieces attached to clothing items :)






My grandmother and I at our booth :)



Thank you to all who stopped by & thank you for all the support we received! :)

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure to create 3 pieces for a lovely bride-to-be, Laura. {Blog post: here}
I was so excited to create these pieces for her and even more excited when I received a message from her this morning that included photos from her engagement shoot wearing {NATALIE}!!

{NATALIE is a purple dahlia with different hues of purple marabou feathers and an incredible sparkling brooch for the center}

Here are just some of the GORGEOUS photos from Laura's engagement shoot! So pretty and they look so incredibly happy together! Thank you again Laura and I wish you and your soon-to-be hubby the very best! :)

{Enjoy}





I love the vintage/apple orchard theme!! :) {In Love!}







Aren't they just adorable!? :D

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! :)

It's another perfect crafting morning that must come to an end due to errands before I head off to work all day. {sad}
I woke up at 6:30am and to start, I finished painting an antique frame which I will use in the nursery on the wall {pictures will soon be up!}. Then, I finished the flower to a bridal hairpiece & now all that is left of this custom order is the detachable birdcage veil! :)
Finally, I created the first Christmas inspired flower hairpiece which will be for sale at the craft show on the 15th! {I need to get crankin' on these hairpieces! Only 11 more days!!!}

Here is the finished piece! Anyone have a good name for it? :)
{Enjoy}


To create this unique piece, I used small ivory peony petals, deep burgundy hydrangea petals, light green hydrangea petals, small burgundy ranunculus petals, a few white winter berries, an ivory skeleton leaf, a crystal rhinestone made in Germany, and a WHOLE LOT of {lOvE}.














{Have a lovely day!}
