Hugs & Kisses bow- just in time for Valentine's Day!

Take a look at my latest bow creation.  I made one for Boo and then made 4 more to sell in local boutique.  I love this boutique.  I don't have to sell my bows on consignment there, they just buy them outright from me and I still get "free" advertising with my bow cards that they're displayed on!  And they tell me to bring in whatever I come up with.  As long as I offer them variety, they buy what I bring them!  

If you're interested in ordering one or more of these for a little someone you know, go right here .  They'd make a perfect Valentine's gift!

Sparkle and Charm Boutique hair bow winner!
Sorry everyone, I had intended to post the winner of my hair bow giveaway this morning but my children had other plans for me. They're napping now so it's time!


Before I announce the winner, I want to thank everyone that left a supportive comment about my new Sparkle and Charm Boutique web design. I'm glad to hear you love it as much as I do!

Now then, the winner of my giveaway was randomly selected by Random.org.

And the winner is...


#18- PisecoMom  over at Mind Games!  Congrats, PisecoMom!  You have 1 week to claim your prize or I will be forced to choose an alternate winner.

For those of you who didn't win this time, have no fear, I'm sure I'll offer future giveaways so check back.

In the meantime, I'd love it if you'd place an order! :)

I just posted some more hair bows and clips to entice you. Check them out!

Within the next couple of days, I'll be adding pictures of some more tutus and a tutu dress, so keep checking back at Sparkle and Charm Boutique!

Thanks!
