Happy Holidays!

Well, it's been a little while since I posted... and I had told myself that I would do better over the past few months.

The purpose of this blog is to wish everyone a merry and happy time with family and friends over the upcoming holidays of Christmas and New Years. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

My craft shows for the season have come to an end. It's kind of bitter sweet... I want to thank you all for coming out to see me and supporting my ribbon addiction!

I have begun work on Valentine's Day bows and am in the creative stage of St. Patrick's Day bows (yes, already!), and have recently listed some Easter bows, so if you are interested, now is the time! You can contact me about sales and any special orders through my Etsy shop.

Maybe my next post will be sooner than later! Have a great night!

My First Hairbow Gig!

Saturday Market is held in downtown Augusta, GA, at 8th Street and the River (Savannah River). August 9, 2008 was Kids Day, so I took this as my opportunity to setup my booth and sell some hairbows!

Of course, if you know my husband and I you know that there is an adventure with every outing that we attempt, and this Saturday was no exception. So Friday evening, I was supposed to have everything packed up and broken down, so that when my husband arrived home from work we could discuss whether I had overlooked anything or whatever.... Well, he got home and I was still making bows... and realized just before he arrived that I hadn't even eaten dinner yet--it was now about 9 pm.

So, he talked me into getting out for a moment and grabbing a bite to eat. We went through the Arby's drive-through and ate at home. We then decided to watch a bit of tv (like this was a smart idea!). So at about 10:15 pm, we decided to pack up the booth. Boy, we had that thing packed up in no time!

We talked about what time would be adequate time for us to get ready the next morning, and since the Saturday Market officially opens at 8 am, we decided that we would need to get up at 4:30 am so that we would have plenty of time to load the truck and get out there to setup. My husband set his alarm for 4:30. Well, I took a shower before bed and finally got into bed at midnight (and didn't sleep well all night... nervous I guess...).

Well.... I woke up and felt like I had gotten more than 4.5 hours of sleep... I rolled over and looked at my clock... it was 5:55 am! I started yelling and we hit the ground running! I just knew that there would be no way for us to make it out in time to setup the booth before 8 am. (We later realized that he set his alarm for 4:30 pm.... nice, hunh?)

We were speedily getting ready and loading the truck. Believe it or not, but I dried and straightened my hair and finished getting ready in 20 minutes! We arrived downtown at about 6:45 am, setup the booth, and priced most all of the items by 8 am. We had done it... and then we waited.



And we waited. It was somewhat of a slow go, but traffic picked up and soon we had covered the cost of the booth for day. And soon we were seeing a profit! The market hours were from 8 am to 12 pm. We started packing up the booth at around 1 pm because there were still people out and about.

I am so happy that my first hairbow gig was a success. I want to say thank you to all of my customers. Thank you for your encouragement and support.

Valley Girls Volleyball Team Hairbow Options

Hi, Valley Girls! Here a few hairbow options I put together tonight for you. If these aren't styles that you had in mind, just let me know and I will get some more options together for you. Since I do not have burgandy on hand, I used red, but your bows will be burgandy, white and black.

These pictures are of the layered short bow. It measures approximately 5.5 inches wide and 5 inches long.



This picture is a layered long bow. Keep in mind that this bow will hang differently than it looks when laying flat. This bow measures approximately 8 inches long and 5 inches wide. If you are looking to have these bows monogrammed somewhere locally, then this is the bow you will want.



This picture shows the barrettes that are available for these size bows. You may each choose the size barrette that you need. The larger barrette is about 2.75 inches wide. The smaller barrette is about 2.5 inches wide.


Please let me know if you were looking for something different or if you have any questions. You may contact me, just get my email address from Ms. Bailey.

Cupcakes! Yumm....

I've been experimenting with cupcake hairbows. I think that so far, things are going well... the pictures below are a few of my newest cupcake creations. I have a few more in the works, I just don't have pics yet, but I'll post these also soon.

This first bow is my Large Cupcake Sweets hairbow. It is a triple layered hairbow. The first layer is raspberry; the second layer is brown with pink dots; and the third layer is cupcake ribbon in raspberry, teal, and brown. The bow is finished with a raspberry knot.


The second bow is a Medium Pink Cupcake Fun Hairbow. This bow has a base bow color of light pink with four kiddie looped ribbon colors of hot pink dot, island blue, pink checks, and lavender. The bow is finished with a pink cupcake embellishment.


I hope that you enjoy these hairbows. I, of course, think that they are adorable and yummy!

Ribbons, Ribbons, Ribbons!

So, my ribbon came in yesterday and I was able to sit down last night and almost finish the project I was working on. I am very excited about that! I will share the secret of this project with you once I'm finished and have shipped it out!

Now I want to share one of my newest listings with you. These are ribbons that are cut at approximately 36 inches long with the ends heat sealed to prevent fraying. The ends are cut and sealed just so delicately to ensure that the ribbons look professional.

For the colors below, you may buy as many 1 yd cuts that you need. Just contact me through my Prissy Sissy Bows Etsy shop and I'll make a custom order for you. Also, if you need a special color, contact me; I can probably get that color for you.

We've Been Doing Some Gardening....

So, my husband and I have been discussing our flowers. We've decided on a few of them but really know nothing about flowers and gardening. So, a few weekends ago, we planted azaleas along the front of our house. They are very pretty and help our yard out a lot, but much is still needed. We have plans to plant more in several flower beds around the house but the much needed rain has prevented us so far.

If anyone reading this can provide support for gardening, we'd greatly appreciate it. Just leave us a comment.

And now for the Prissy Sissy Bows plug....
Here is my Tulip Hairbow. This bow is very cute and would be adorable on your little girl!

Giddy-Up, Cowgirl!

This is the perfect bow for the country or western girl to wear while riding horses or brushing their mane. If you're not fortunate enough to be a country or western girl, you can always dream....

So, put on your boots and let this hairbow take you to the country or out west!

March Sales!

I was again fortunate to have a successful month in the hairbow biz. Through my Etsy Shop, Prissy Sissy Bows, I sold two listings and then sold three hairbows to my friend at work:

These bows were shipped to California. There is some little girl out there living on the wild side in these bows. These are my M2MG Leopard Print Pigtail Hairbows.


These bows were purchased by my friend and co-worker at my "real" job. Today is her last day at work as her husband has taken a job and will be moving his family to Colorado soon. This is my Happy Bunny Face Hairbow.


She also purchased three of these bows. She kept one for her daughter and then I think that she gave the other two to some little girlies at her church. This is my Jesus Loves Me Hairbow.


So, I have been selling bows for just under 4 months now and things are going well. I could not be a success without my customers! Thank you to all who have bought my bows for your precious babes.

♥Bows

Oh, Baby!

Just too cute for you, babe!

Oh, Just Go Be A Love Bug!

Just go be a love bug in this Love Bug Hairbow.

Hairbow Storage Solutions

Hairbow storage is a dilemma for most families of little girls. Many just have their hairbows stored in a basket or drawer. This works fine for a while, but when the hairbows are continually crushed they become misshapen, wrinkled, and, well, ugly. Who wants to wear ugly hairbows?

Prissy Sissy Bows has a practical hairbow storage solution. Hairbow holders are perfect for hairbow storage because they hold numerous hairbows, prevent them from being crushed or wrinkled, and allow for easier viewing and display which, essentially, saves the family time. Hairbow holders can be hung in closets, bathrooms, doorknobs, walls... the possibilities are endless.

Hairbow holders are made from long cuts of ribbon adhered specifically to hold hairbows and clips. All you do is clip your bows to the ribbon tails and, voila, you've got storage and display solutions. Hairbow holders can be made to match the decor of a room, just by altering the ribbon colors and embellishment. If an embellishment is not desired, the simple ribbon bow holders are adorable, too.

In this post, I am featuring my Toad Princess Hairbow Holder. The pictures below show the finished product and it's purpose. Enjoy!

Being Follically Challenged Can Be Embarrassing for Baby Girls....

Is your baby follically challenged? It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Most babies are follically challenged.

Don't let people ask you how 'he' is doing when 'he' is a 'she'. Show them how they should refer to your baby with the Interchangeable Hairbow Headband.

This band measures approximately 13.5 inches round, the average newborn head circumference. It is made of a stretchy lace and has a strap that will allow for interchangeable single or double prong clippie hairbows.

This item is currently for sale in my Etsy Shop, Prissy Sissy Bows. The listing is for the headband only and does not include the hairbow.

I hope that you enjoy! Don't let being follically challenged keep you little girl down! Make her prissy like she ought to be!
