Special Orders- A Baby Shower

Today, I attended a baby shower for a very, very special lady with my two daughters. Before the shower, I was approached by the godmother about creating a custom baby headband for her soon-to-be-arriving goddaughter. I have to say that I love doing custom orders, because I get the chance to work with someone on making their vision come to life.  For this baby shower, I was asked to do a cute lacy headband with a ducky. I am really pleased at how it turned out, so pleased that I was inspired to create another ducky headband. But, the best part was how pleased the godmother and recipient were.

For those of you who do not know, tomorrow is Veterans' Day! I am and always have been an avid supporter of the U.S. Armed Forces; we are truly blessed to have men and women of such valor willing to fight for us.  I wanted to share with you all this video that was shared with me. It is music written by a 3rd grade school teacher and her husband and being performed by that 3rd Grade Tussing Elementary class. It is truly a moving song and video titled "Thank You Soldiers" .

Also, in honors of Veteran's Day, I am introducing the Liberty Bell Bow. It is a small hair bow on a barrette clip and inspired by all those patriots and loyal people throughout the years that have fought to make liberty possible here in these United States of America. There will be more to come but currently, I am only offering one.

An Untraditional Christmas

Let It Snow Small Layered Flower Bow
& Snowmen Pigtail Bow Pairs
The traditional Christmas colors have always been red and green. I did some research and found out that there was actually a really good reason behind these colors. Red signifies the blood of Christ, and green symbolizes life, as in the eternal life offered by Jesus. I can understand the reasoning behind these colors being synonymous with Christmas and do not promise to try to change this. But, if I have to be honest, SOMETIMES, it is really dull seeing red and green EVERYWHERE (trees, wreaths, ribbon, dresses, Santa hats, Santa suits, poinsettias.... get the point?)


I know that quite a few times, I found myself wishing that I could find just ONE dress that wasn't one of those two colors. Last year for instance, I was trying to find a nice, pretty pink dress. No such luck. Now, Kacey's Princess Bowtique is by no means into the dress making stage (at least not yet), but I am very pleased to announce that I am offering Winter/Christmas bows that breakaway from the traditional color scheme.

Getting An Early Start

Here is a sneak peak of one of our
Christmas headbands.
For the past few days, I have been enjoying...wait for it.... Mint Hot Chocolate. That's right! 100% Andes mint tasting goodness in a Dunkin Donuts cup. So, I am fully in the Christmas mood! I would get my decorations out if my husband wouldn't have a fit because Thanksgiving hasn't passed yet. But, I feel that with Dunkin Donuts serving minty Christmas in a cup and Starbucks serving there yummy coffee in a festive red holiday cup. It is official that the holiday season is creeping up.

What does that mean for Kacey's Princess Bowtique? I am going pedal to the metal on creating holiday products. Keep an eye out for Christmas, Winter, holiday bows, clips and headbands.

Brand New Month, Brand New Products

I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween (and was safe). I saw a lot of adorable and scary costumes when we were out trick or treating; I had a lot of fun coordinating my daughters'  (my oldest was Lil' Bo Peep and my 6 month old was a sheep) and watching my oldest run up to the door to get all the candy she can get. (She's a smart cookie, she asked for one for Daddy and Mommy). But, now its a brand new month so its time to move on to newer things.... Winter!!!


A lot of my family and friends have been affected by the intense snow fall in the Northeast, so I am bringing out that wonderful winter symbol that I promised ....Do you remember what it is? That's right! PENGUINS! I am bringing out penguin pigtail bows, large bows, small bows, and hopefully some more headbands. The good news for all you penguin lovers out there is that there will be quite a few penguin products, but sadly, there is only one Penguin with Ice Skates, inspired by one of our readers. For those of you that aren't crazy about penguins, do not fret; there are snowflakes, snow men, poinsettias, presents, and Santa.
