I'm Gonna Do It!

My sister is the buyer for a high fashion boutique in Chicago. I have talked with her and the owner about selling my adult hats but I have not pulled the trigger. I don't know why except that I don't like to mass produce and I have always been a bit insecure about my creations. I worry that people won't like them or that they will fall apart... not that that has ever happened. I much prefer giving my handmade items over selling them.

Last week they were perusing my blog and decided that their store needs a little girl corner that will consist of some of the things I make. I have decided to bite the bullet and hope for the best. I am going to start with a line of sun hats and tutus. I must admit that I am really excited to get this first shipment out and see where it goes.

I have been working away and Ella (watermelon) and Grace (lemon) reluctantly agreed to model the 2 new sun hats in my fruit collection. The strawberry can be seen modeled here. The fruits are barrettes and are removable. I am going to make a couple more hats with different color trim and a bunch of different Bellis to mix and match.

I have ordered TONS of tulle in every color so next week will consist of tutu making. I have a few ideas up my sleeve to make them special. I hope it all works out. I'll keep you posted!
