Merry Christmas!

Good News! All custom orders have been shipped and I will not be accepting any new orders until January 2010 in order to spend time with friends and family during the Christmas break.

Thank you for your business this holiday season and thank you to all of my repeat customers, good friends and new buyers I have met this year. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with all of you. :)

The year 2010 will bring new changes to Girls Love Bows, as I have added another selling venue right here in Texas. My boutique items are now for sell at a local crafting mall with over 100 ready-made boutique items and more to come! I will have more information and pictures to share in the new year.

Have a very blessed Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!


Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you, He is Christ the Lord.

Custom Order Update

Hello Everyone!

Well, it's that time of the year again! Christmas is just around the corner and everyone is busy shopping for Christmas presents and that special Christmas outfit.

I will only be accepting custom orders until December 11th (and closing my etsy store until 2010), so if you need that special hair accessory to match your daughter's Christmas outfit or need some bows for a Christmas present or clippies for a stocking stuffer gift, please get your order(s) in soon!

My emails are overflowing with custom orders and as a result, I need to stop accepting orders on DECEMBER 11th, if I am going to get them out in a timely manner. :)

Thank you for your business!!

Thank you again to Gioncarla and her sweet model, for the collaboration and for the use of her amazing photography!

A Sneak Peek!

A sweet friend, who is also a very creative boutique designer, asked me to create something to match her two sets for the upcoming FaceBook Magical Kingdom launch (to be hosted on ebay October 1st-10th). As usual, I was floored by her use of mixed media to create such wonderful wearable art and I can't wait to see the modeled pics!

Here is a sneak peek of two of the four items I sent her:
Alice Art Clip

Rapunzel Art Clip


Wait until you see her amazing sets!!

Ahhh, the temperature has dropped!

It's been quite chilly here, the past few days, and I have been busy working on bows for upcoming launches for October. I have also been making one too many stops to our local Starbucks this week. This kind of weather reminds me of hot chocolate, so I found an easy cocoa recipe to share from www.allrecipes.com
My husbands favorite drink at Starbucks is the white chocolate mocha, so this one's for him!
This cocoa can be made in the slow cooker, so it's perfect for holiday parties!


SnowFlake Cocoa

INGREDIENTS
2 cups whipping cream
6 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips


Garnish:
Whipped cream
Candy canes

DIRECTIONS
Stir together the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Stir again before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and candy canes, as desired.


Need your daily coffee rush? Just add a double shot of espresso per serving! Yummy!

Something to Share from Etsy

I came across these pictures of one of my favorite hair accessory models (J) the other day and decided to change out my top photo on this blog to feature our woven ribbon headbands. The photographer for this model shoot requested Girls Love Bows to create a woven ribbon headband to match the Tea Garden Collection which can be found at www.pixyworld.net

Here are some pictures from her Texas photo shoot:










The woven headband can be purchased through my etsy site: www.mickerdoodleboutique.etsy.com

I can create a custom woven headband just for you in your choice of colors (to match an outfit or in your school colors). Just make your purchase through my Etsy store. They are ONE SIZE FITS ALL, so they are PERFECT for mommy, too! :)
