My lil goodie I picked up, a Hand-woven 2000 Gram Flokati Pink Shag Rug (3′ x 5′), for only $67.99!!!
It’s a perfect size! I used it for a boudoir session this weekend, then fluffed it back up and used it for a 1y baby session today!

Perfect on both occasions!

Sweet

Sassy

Sophisticated

Those are the first 3 things that come to mind when I chat about
the beautiful headbands from
Kristen Caldwell’s Shop, Marvelous Momma

Kristen sent us a set of (5) vintage headbands…
And each one is more precious, petite and classic then the next!

Each rosette is made of gorgeous taffeta,
adorned with tulle netting, feather & lil pearl.

Kristen keeps her style clean, fresh and simple…
without losing any sass or fashion in the process.

All in all… I loved Kristen Caldwell’s Shop, Marvelous Momma shop so much,
here lil goodies will be a constant companion to each and everyone of my newborn shoots from now on!

HAPPY DISCOUNT SHOPPING JUNKIES!

When I found out about Design Revolution in my monthly PPA Magazine last month… I almost fell over… a prop junkies dream “mall”!

From petal rugs… to tutus & petti skirts…
faux “real” tile back drops… pedestals and angel wings…
just about everything you dream about in props, is there!

Design Revolution was created by Julie Klaasmeyer, and her lovely obsession with photography props. In her many upon many seminars and speeches to fellow photogs, a main question was “where do you get your props?!”… so with that thought, Design Revolution was born. Julie buys all of her beautiful and high quality props in bulk now, bringing them to the “table” for all the rest of us (Thanks Julie!).

So come check it out, Design Revolution, and see what all the INSANITY is about!

“Tisha”….
When Tracy contacted me and asked me if i wanted to do a review for Design Stash Boutique, i was well…honoured to say the least!

So please bear with me while i gush on and on about Miss. Brooke……What can i say about Brooke from Design Stash Boutique?? well i don’t know her …..nor have i ever met her in person! But i can tell you all this….She is a PHENOMENAL designer…when i first found her designs online, i had an “awwwwwww” moment! (no really i did, in that total cheesey romance movie kinda of way!) anyway….I saw her designs and fell immediately in LOVE….so i ordered a bunch of different headbands, then i ordered a few more….

Then i contacted Brooke, (Yes i took that step people!! lol I even found her on facebook, so i could share my pictures of her fabulous headbands with her! ) to work with her to design a couple of special vintagey BIG headbands…I gave her my ideas and free reign and she came back with exactly what was in my head!

I mean it was like she was actually looking into my brain! Crazy Right!? (the picture of the girl on the far left with the creamy flowered clip in is the custom designed Design Stash Boutique!)

So to sum it all up, if you haven`t already you really should head on over to her website and see for yourself the beautiful headbands that she has for sale, Brooke not only is a very talented Designer she is also a wonderful woman who`s work speaks for itself. You can see through her products that she absolutely LOVES what she does for a living and takes very much pride in it!
