Thrifty Thursday: Fall Outfit

It's still fall right??!?! With the snow and frigid temps I wasn't so sure, but this past Sunday was pretty gorgeous and I was able to wear this fall inspired ensemble.
I made the hair clip with a Prima flower...super simple

The skirt was a dollar at the local Bethel Storehouse thrift store. Cardigan a dollar at Edgewood Salvation Army. Shoes were a dollar at the Meadville Salvation Army in Pennsylvania. Yes, I get my thrifty goods from across the country :)



Ruffled tee-shirt from Ross for six dollars.
So this is one of my pricier outfits...coming in at $9.00

Hip Mom Band: Brassy Accents

Ms. Tammy asked for a hip mom hairband and I hope she's happy with the result. Soft pastel colors and neutrals along with lace and brassy accents make this piece truly romantic!
$12.00

Ally Clips: Marvelous Midnight and Tropical Coral, Special Order for Ms. Kim S.

I accidentally posted this here instead of my Li'l Buck's Boutique Bands page and almost deleted it but then I thougt...leave it here this IS what's comsuming my life right now. Having a blast creating hair ware for others!!!You know, it's fun creating in "miniature". It really makes me focus in on the few elements I can use to really make the clip balanced and as special as any hair band would be. I really love the flat alligator clip I've been using. It holds fast in Ms. Tess's hair and there's hardly any slippage, she comes home from school with her clip still IN her hair and that's an accomplishment. Hope you're all having a great day!

Sweet Pea Band: Special Order for Ms. Abbey

$12.00 Go to Li'l Buck's Boutique Bands for more info.
These colors just compliment eachother so well. I was contacted by Ms. Abbey about making a set of coordinating bands for her and her daughter to wear in an upcoming family photo shoot. Her amazingly, talented momma already sewed dresses for the two of them and she wanted bands that would be complimnetary and not too matchy, matchy. I'm so thrilled with the way this band came together. The coral, sage, grey and even hints of pink are timeless and beautiful. Stay tuned for a post on her daughter, little Ms. K's, band. Have a great day.

Whimsically White: Special Order for Lisa M.

$12.00
For some reason I have a bit of a hard time photographing white bands with my darker hair. They always want to wash out...that said...I LOVE this band! I can't wait to see how it looks on Ms. Lisa!! I hope she adores it too and that it finds a happy place on her head! Have a great day.

Pom Pom Pink

Had fun trying a new technique with the felt. I have another one up my sleave too that I'm itching to try. This one was sure bright and perky and reminds me of a cheerleader in some ways. hahaha.

Another special order of dark pink and HOT PINK! Wowza!

So very vanilla

Vanilla is said to be bland...blah...boring...BUT NOT THIS HAIR BAND BABY! She's va-va-va-voom! Really priceless in the vintage, girly flavor you get here. I have one more of these...on special order...not a band though...just the piece to attach to a barrett because the woman who ordered it wears glasses. How smart is that?!?!?? Have a great day.

Going Gray

One of the special orders I had was for a gray and black band...I've really been wanting to do an all black one but now I'm stoked to make a gray and black one for myself. SO DELICIOIUS!. Let me tell you how this warms me up inside...that gray is so yummy. My daughter tried to steal it. I hope Mrs. NY#1 loves it too! Thanks for stopping by for a little eye candy and have a great day!

PS I'm thinking of creating a blog just for my bands so they're all on there together.

Gingham ribbon makes me HAPPY!

Especially this mustard colored one. It just pops. This li'l gal is headed to NY as well. Here's hopin' and prayin' that all my li'l ladies find new homes!
Have a great day!

Vintage Pearls and Daisies

Wow, this one is a stunner. I love the way it came out all lacey and creamy. I think I'll make another for me. Have a great day!

For the love of hair!

I NEED a HAIRCUT! YIKES....My hair looks awfully red in these pictures...it's not...it's a dull brown. I'll be getting a haircut on Wednesday! YAY! This beauty is going to New York, hopefully to a nice home there with a nice lady who will wear it with pride! She's dressy, don'tcha think?!?! Have a great day.

Even MORE Hair Bobbies!

Aren't these just so darling?

These are so fun and addicting to make. I hope y'all are having as much fun looking at them as I'm having making them. It's hard to tell but the one with feather is actually an abalone button.
Poppin Pink
Dreamsicle of my dreams
Oooo how I love black and white.
Making the flowers is the best part as some of the different materials I use are more difficult to work with than others. Hope you have a great day and keep creating!

A barrage of bobbies

Had a lot of FUN last night putting these pretties together. What d'ya think? Any other color combos you can think of? Oh, I just thought of white and black. Having fun on my new endeavor. The cost would be $5 a set (plus shipping if I have to mail it). Have a great day!


Linkin' up to TEA ROSE HOME linky part #21.

Li'l Buck's Hair Bobbies

Okay HAIRS something new for me. Today was a friend's birthday and I wanted to give her something I knew she would use and that was cute to boot. Purple is definitely HER color so I went with it. I folded a ribbon rose and attached it over a tiny felt circle. I removed the shank from a green button for the middle bobby. Finally, I made a frayed fabric rosette out of left over material. I hand stamped the holding card and whalah! I hope to sell these at the store for $5 a set. Have a great afternoon.

Under the Sea

This band reminds me of a seascape. I love the ribbons on this one along with the rolled and tattered jean. Look at that little sea urchin jean ball on the right. Super cute, right?!?!?! This hair band could go with anything from jeans and a T to your Sunday best. Message me at mistrav@yahoo.com if you're interested! Have a super day!

Coral Bunny Swirl

This band came out of nowhere. I do love this color combo but hadn't thought to make a band in it till a few choice buttons caught my eye. Look at that darling little bunny. My friend Michelle would laugh because when I purchased Stampin' Up's Cameo Coral and opened it I almost gagged. I did not like the color but over the years I come back to it again and again...especially with BRIGHT RED! It's lovely. Coral Bunny Swirl band $10.00 plus shipping.
