April Hairbow Sales Part 2

As I mentioned in my last post, April was a great month for the hairbow business. There will not only be two posts about hair bow sales, but there will be an additional one as well, so you'll have to check back in....

This post will feature items that I shipped to California.

The first hairbow is my Large Ladybug Kiddie Loop hairbow. This bow is made of 1.5 inch grosgrain ribbon with 4 different 3/8 inch ribbons kiddie looped on top. The bow center is a Ladybug embellishment.


The second hairbow is my Large Lilac Satin hairbow. This bow is made of 1.5 inch satin ribbon with a center knot. I think that this bow is so elegant.


The third bow was actually a custom order. These bows were needed for a wedding in London. I actually made 4 bows all the same for two little girls. I can only imagine how cute they were at the wedding!



There will be one more post about my sales from April. Here's a huge thank you to all my wonderful customers!

So, here is what I've been so excited and secretive about...

Etsy has this thing they call Alchemy. I've heard that they had it a some time back and that they'd taken it away. To everyone's delight, they've recently released Alchemy again. Alchemy provides a forum in which those looking for items can submit a request for the specific items they want. Sellers search the requests and then make bids on the orders in hopes of earning a sale.

Well, 4ofakind submitted a request for 11 hairbows for her granddaughter's softball team. I submitted by bid, bit my nails, and patiently waited.... and, later that day, 4ofakind picked my bid out of 17 bids total! I had won over 4ofakid! I had landed my first Alchemy sale! I was so excited (as if you couldn't tell!)


I immediately started looking for the right colors of ribbon and coordinating payment and barrettes with 4ofakind. Even though I had to order one of the ribbon colors from online, I was still able to finish the bows in record time and ship them out this morning. 4ofakind should get them early next week and I can't wait! I really hope that she loves them as much as I do!


So, I now think that Alchemy is even more wonderful than I did before. Your completed bid/ sale from Alchemy shows in your sold items and the description of your bid is the listing itself.


When bidding for an Alchemy request, you have to be very thorough. As you can see, I tried to cover all of the basics. What you don't see are the terms and conditions which only the buyer and seller sees. In the terms and conditions, I described what I required for payment and when. When I would be able to ship and any other important notes that could affect the outcome of the bows.


As you work your order, Alchemy allows and asks you to upload pictures of your progress. The pictures in this blog article have two of the last pictures I uploaded to my completed Alchemy sale. In the first one you can see the 11 finished bows. In the second and third pictures, you can see the stack of the bow which is approximately 2 inches and the bow tails which are approximately 7 inches.


This order was a lot of fun for me. It provided great experience and great exposure. I think that Alchemy and 4ofakind's granddaughter's softball team rocks! Thank you 4ofakind for this opportunity!

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!

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!

February Sales!!!!

Yes, that's correct! I did sale a few items in February, which is extremely exciting!

These are my classic baby bows that were listed as a variety set. These I mailed to Camden, SC, so if you see these bows, let them know how cute they are!


These bows I mailed to Canton, GA. This is my Small Watermelon Slice hairbow and my made to match Gymboree's (M2MG) Holland Days hairbow. I was thrilled to have finally sold a M2MG bow! Stop buying the overpriced simple bows just because they are displayed next to the outfit! Search around... buy handmade.


Also, I've already sold one listing in March, but you'll have to wait to what it was! Awww.. surprises are fun when you already know the secret!

I hope that everyone had as great a February as I did! Let's hope that March brings more excitement!

Watermelon Slice Creations

So, this is one of my favorite hairbows! I think that this is just super cute and one of a kind!



I love making these hairbows. So far, I have made them in red, light pink, and raspberry. They are all just so cute!

I have also been thinking about using this same design and making lemons, limes, or canteloupes... not sure though.

I hope that if you are reading this that you enjoy this hairbow as much as I do!
