Beautiful Baby FlowerBands!

My official business name is Frills and Flowers.  Isn't that cute? This is where I will add new pictures of my designs. 

Check out my online store where you can purchase directly online at http://www.frillsandflowers.etsy.com/

For my local peeps, my flowerbands are for sale at Belle's Boutique on Jefferson St.


Need the perfect baby gift for a baby girl?  My headbands fit newborns perfectly and are so comfortable!  The flowerbands are extremely stretchy so one size fits all--up to age 5.

Many have asked if I can make clips for older girls. Absolutely!  I can use a clip that snaps together or a little aligator clip for girls with fine hair.  Those I line with fleece so that it will STAY in the hair!  It is very cute to do a combination of clips and bands for pictures for families with several different ages of girls! 


Here are some pictures of Minnie modeling some of the flowerbands that I have created.


This first picture makes me laugh...such a girly pose with her tutu, polka dots ,flowerband .... and dinosaur!!!



And some pics of just the flowerbands...



Here is a fun brown flowerband.  So many darling outfits with brown!! 



This turned out to be one of our favorites. It is a nylon band and delicate cream flower. It is so versatile and subtle.  It is exquisite!


This one is not so subtle! This flowerband looks best with trendy outfits like the cute new outfits out with bright leggings!



This one was designed for the new classic-modern black and white babywear


I LOVE using buttons with the flowers.  Gives it a classic, yet whimisical look.



This turned out gorgeous!  The picture does not do it justice as you cannot see the detail of the metal work and gem.


I gave this one as a baby gift recently. It is so versatile that it matches almost everything.  If you are looking for a baby gift, I would recommend any from the cream collection as pictured below.




This is the Ebony Collection.  These are stunning.  Some have velvet centers, some have gems, some have buttons.  They all turned out amazing.  Many of the Christmas dresses are are using these rich tones.  These bands have a definite dressier look.  Keep these in mind for special occasions. 



And my brown collection.

I love brown.  It just looks cute with everything!  I can put ANY color combination of buttons or jewels to accessorize any little outfit. 



Here are a sampling of the clippies that I designed.  You can click on any of the above pictures to enlarge for detail. 

So here is a little bit more about this little business of mine.  Mostly, its a creative outlet for me and I love making them. 

For a couple of months I have been making Minnie's flowerbands to match her outfits and she has become quite well-known at church for her array of head decor! In fact, a few Sundays ago, hubby dressed Minnie for church and forgot the headband and a few people had trouble recognizing her without her "bling".

Others mothers are constantly asking me where I buy her headbands, so I figure I might be able to sell a few. Support my habit.. ya know! (headband making habit, that is :) Actually I would like to put any profit towards a nice camera as I LOVE taking pictures but get so frustrated at the limitations of a point and shoot camera!
Okay, so I would have to sell like 5 million flowerbands to afford a "good" camera... but any little bit can help, right?

So if you are interested in purchasing a baby flowerband you can contact me by:
email: nickntricia@mepotelco.net
or you can go to my Etsy site (a site for selling handmade items):

If you would be interested in advertising for me on your blog so that you can get a FREE flowerband, or flower clippie, contact me!

Thanks So much for your interest! 

Mouseymom!

Hey Tricia - I've been wondering where you get all of your cute little headbands! They are so cute especially for sweet girls who are still waiting for their hair to come in! :) Anyway, I'd love to enter your contest! :)

Tricia, I love these headbands! I definitely can't find anything like that down here, so even if I don't win I'm still ordering one!! Don't worry, I'll pay the shipping :) And let's see for a name, I'll give it a shot. How about "Flowers & Frills"?

Love a good give-a-way! And while I have no baby girl to adorn, my sister does! I'll be passing on this info anyway, so if I don't win, maybe I can buy one for her, or maybe Bri will want to buy one... am I rambling? Just enter me. :)I'm 1 for 1 in my entries to your contests... no pressure... :)

How fun and simply adorable!! Sophie is not looking for big bows but make sure you send this post to amber!!! xoxo

Amber said...

Hmmm . . .if I win, I'd have to still order one!!! But so fun. : ) Although these days, making it out the door with all girls dress, much less accessorized, is an accomplishment!! : )

The only names I could come up with was "top it off . . ." but that isn't really fun/girly. "hair's to you. . . ."

what can i say - it's late. I'm tired. I'm going to bed. : )

Your headbands are adorable! I had just been thinking about trying to make some for our little girls. Yours are super cute - I think they are ten times better than some I have seen being sold. You should open your own etsy shop or something. (oh-btw- Aaron Friedel is my husband and he showed me your site, just didn't want you to wonder who this random person commenting was!)

How wonderful are these??? I don't have a little one that they would fit, so dont worry about putting me in the contest. I just wanted to tell you I thought they were fantastic. I get a little crafty too, how fun!
