Triple blush headband

This most feminine of headbands has 3 shades and types of dupioni silk hand cut and pressed into the most beautiful flower with a czech glass bead center. It is mounted on a super skinny blush silk covered headband with blush/cream and ivory vintage velvet millinery leaves and french netting accents. I also made a comb in the same color combo, both are in the Mignonne etsy store.

You can also see the whole spring collection at the Inspirador in Chandler on Wednesday evening at their open house.

Vegas time...

We recently visited Las Vegas to meet up with my husband's family, 2 family members had conferences there so the rest of us made the trip out for a fun filled few days. I'm not a Vegas fan- at all. I guess I just don't get the allure, but we did have a great time with family and even enjoyed a night out on the town and some interesting sights...

Vintage inspiration...

As always I am inspired by things that are just a little old, faded and of course charming. The colors here are the most sumptious antique golds and faded pinks and sages. One flower is a clip and the other a comb. They will both be available in the etsy store by the end of the night.

I used 100% silk dupioni, hand cut and pressed each petal, one has a czech glass beaded center and the other has vintage "sugar" stamens. They both have vintage french lace found on my trip in February and vintage velvet millinery leaves from Japan.

Sickie...

Aw, what's better than your best furry bud in your sick bed, snuggling up with you and watching princess movie after princess movie? Well, I guess not being sick is better than that :-) Poor Emma was not feeling well today, we've been battling a high fever since yesterday afternoon, it seems to come and go and in between she seems just fine, today we took it easy and snuggled in the playroom watching movies. Chuy was so vigilant, by her side every minute and she didn't even have any food in her hands!! Now that's love!

Gardenias pour vous...

These pretty little gardenias are off to Virginia tomorrow they will play a special role in Natalie's wedding and I hope she'll cherish them for years to come.

Wedding season!

The first wedding of my wedding season was at Brophy chapel in mid-town Phoenix. It is definitely my favorite church in Phoenix. Meredith was a dream to work with she was so sweet and looked absolutely gorgeous on their big day!
