We're Busy Bees!

Yep, it may have been quiet on the blog front during May, but that's because we have been so swamped! In May, we participated in two shows. The first was a Private Party at Spokane's prestigous Fourteenth And Grand Salon, where we primarily showcased all of our wonderfully chic and trendy womens' designs. They were well received! In fact, if you happen to step into this fabulous salon, you will probably spy some of our pretty pieces adorning many of the gals who work there!

Next was the very large Garden Expo, with an estimated 12,000-16,000 in attendance. This was a fun event, and after a questionable weather week, we fortunately enjoyed beautiful sunshine for our first big outdoor show.

Welcome to all of our new readers/followers/fans who have joined us here after these wonderful events! It was great fun to meet all of you!

And if you are local, and missed these events, don't be sad! We have more coming up! You can come out and visit us at the quickly approaching "Latah Creek Variety Market" on June 20 and 21. This sounds like it is going to be such a fun, family event! There is a big pancake feed both mornings, children's activities, singing and dancing entertainment, and loads of vendors ranging from local farmers, to a variety of arts, crafts, antiques and food vendors. What a great way to spend a portion of Father's Day weekend! Here is a quote from their promotions:

"Our 85 wonderful vendors will display and market their vintage and handmade goods, sweets, plants, wares, jewelry.... so much more... Even carnival rides and fun for the little ones... Getting to the Variety Market is very easy. Minutes from Downtown Spokane: I-90- to exit 279b (the pullman exit) South onto Highway 195,traveling approximately 2.5 miles to the intersection of Cheney-Spokane Road on the right. 4237 south Cheney-Spokane road. The Market is located in the Trading Company Plaza. Spokane, Washington 509-624-4182"

And finally, we will post more info later regarding our participation at Coeur d'Alene's Art on the Green/Taste of Coeur d'Alene/Street Fair weekend, July 31-Aug 2. We are getting so excited about being in this festival of all festivals!

As always, we will have a ton of selection and items not pictured on our website available at these events. AND as always, if our online shoppers don't see what you are looking for in our store, please ask! We may have something already made up that is just perfect for you. And of course, we always LOVE doing custom orders as well!

Topping Types and Sizing

Bebe Toppings – Infant size crochet beanies, soft and stretchy headbands, and mostly more petite flowers and adornments. These are SOO precious on little tiny baby heads. There’s just something about highlighting their delicateness with just the right hat or halo. These small beanies fit 0-6 months, sometimes larger, depending on head size. They are soft and stretchy. If your 6 month old has a larger-than-average head size, you will probably want to go with the Toddler size and roll the edge for an adorable look!

Toddler Toppings - Who can resist that adorable little Toddler face? Set it off spectacularly with the perfect hat or hair accessory! From delicate little flower headbands to “WoW factor” giant blooms, you’ll want one for every outfit. Mix and match your beanies, headbands, and flowers for unique looks every time you have the pleasure of dressing your little cutie. They are only little for such a short time (I am very quickly realizing!), so spoil them and yourselves while you still can! Soft and stretchy beanies fit most ages 6mos-12yrs. Hat sizes vary. Babies and smaller toddlers will either wear these covering all of their head and forehead, or for a different look, can wear them farther back on their head and baggy in back. They are also adorable rolled at the opening, similar to a cloche. Finally, larger hats can have ribbon added (if they don’t already have it) for a wonderfully cute look and adjustable fit!

Big Girl Toppings – Little girls don’t outgrow their cuteness just because they’re learning to dress themselves and become “big girls.” In fact, they’re probably coming into their own sense of style and will LOVE adorable accessories in sizes that fit they’re blossoming little heads. Most hats in this age group (up to roughly 12 and often older!) will also fit the toddlers. However, they fit older girls tighter, like a fitted beanie. Headbands can be worn with pony tails or with hair down for a very chic look. Treat your little lady to mix and match heaven with our adorable hair accessories. They will love the styles they can create and the attention they get too!

Momma Toppings – Who says “little” girls just wanna have fun? Show your sassy side, by sporting our flowers, headbands and even some of our hats (more to come in the future)! These flowers are popping up in all the fashion magazines and catalogs, often for ridiculous prices. Get them here, and customize them to your needs or even match your little one! Flowers can be removed from hats or headbands and attached to dresses, tanks, purses, pony tails and more! The possibilities are endless. We will be adding to our Momma Toppings listings at a later date. If you are interested in a little something for yourself, please email us and we'll let you know what is currently available. There’s no reason Momma can’t turn heads too!
