Pixie Dust Boutique {Giveaway}

Pin It

Congrats to MICA for winning a 20.00 credit to Worley House Designs. Email has been sent!

I have another fun giveaway for you today! More girly stuff!

I came across Krissa the designer behind PIXIE DUST BOUTIQUE, just like I meet a lot of you! Through email! I'm so glad I did. She has some beautiful hairpieces for girls and a bridal boutique for those blushing brides! I couldn’t wait to share with YOU.
Meet Krissa

When my youngest was born I began playing with fabrics and trying out a couple headband ideas. She has been the guinea pig for my designs and happily wears them whenever we go out! Pixie Dust Boutique (www.pixiedustboutique.com) was born out of this experimenting. I wanted to create fun, over the top headband and clip designs that were super girly, colorful, fun and would make any girl feel like a princess!

After establishing Pixie Dust I started experimenting with bridal designs. My first bridal design was the Satin Double Peonies hair fascinator. That was so popular that I began designing more bridal accessories and soon Je T’aime Bridal was created! Though my two boutiques are run out of the same studio, they have separate websites to cater to two different genres.

What sets my boutiques apart from many others is that all of my flowers are 100% hand-created. I start with a piece of fabric and end with a beautiful flower.

All of our products are created with an extreme attention to detail and our customer service is second to none! I treat my customers like I would a friend and make sure that each piece is created with them specifically in mind.

I have been so blessed to have found something that I love doing so much! Designing and creating is a unique gift God has given me and it breathes throughout everything I do.

Check out some of her beautiful designs that I’m crushing on!

THOSE COLORS!!! Perfect for summer photo shoots!

Now THIS is a showstopper…..amazing!

The netting detail makes my heart jump and that over the top bouquet is adorned in crystals...it was actually made for me. It’s Destiny… :0)

She was so sweet and sent over this GORGEOUS white satin piece (you’ve seen it above in a pretty blue) for Alivya’s Easter outfit! ( that’s three weeks in a row for little miss on the blog!)  I’m totally saving it for her “something old'” for her wedding! lol! Photos don’t even do it justice. The attention to detail is amazing! Love the diamonds in the middle. It kinda makes me want to have another wedding…to the same guy of course!

Want to keep up with Krissa and her creations? You can find her all over the internet, meeting your social media needs!

* Display ID Recipe Cards describing the cookies and name of who baked them in front of each plate of cookies.
* Package the Cookies in the Cellophane Bags, along with a Gift Tag and Ribbon secure them.
* Further decorate the bags with the stickers, or use them to give out to guests and to the cookie contest winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place cookies).

These cute kits are only 4.99 or….wait for it..THREE for 9.99! What? I know right? I've seen these in a certain fancy spancy store so I know how much they go for folks!!! How fun would it be to give some of these away at your own cookie exchange and spread the cookie love!

A few months ago I got an email from Elmer's asking me if I would like to host a craft party sponsored by them! They would send me party supplies for 10 of my guests and extras for prizes!  Yep, I sure do, sign me up!:0)

I thought it would be great if a few of my girlfriends and I got together and crafted some Thanksgiving table décor and crafts! When my box full of goodies arrived I was SHOCKED!! Tons and crafty things for everyone! Thank you Elmer’s for being so generous and FUN:0)

Our first craft of the night was, you guessed it…Brown Paper Flowers. I took a few minutes explaining how to make them and then they got BUSY!!! They were so good at them:0)

Another craft we made was a combo craft. Felt Lollipop Turkeys in a Coop! I got the Lollipop Turkey instructions from Parents.com and for the turkey coop I used the bottoms of the brown paper bags! Remember I told you to save them? :0)

Tutorial coming soon! I think these would be SO cute on the kids table BUT really fun on the main table too! The houndstooth duck tap coordinates perfectly with my houndstooth pillow!!

 

It was so fun getting together and LAUGHING, listening to some Chris August, Mercy Me and chatting about scandalous reality TV shows,,,lol!!!
