New Homes for Headbands

In the last couple weeks I have had the pleasure of sending two of my headbands to new homes. One of them went to Oregon and the other is on the way to Wisconsin.

The Blue Paisley headband was sold through my Etsy shop and since I made 4 of these another one has been relisted if you think it would be right for you.

The other headband that sold was the Bold and Beautiful headband. This sale was my first ever in my Silkfair shop. I only made two of these and the last one is listed on Etsy right now.

I have really enjoyed making these headbands. I believe they are different than what you can find anywhere else. They are a great way to keep your hair out of your face and with the ties they are adjustable for anyone. The ties could also be used to tie your hair in a ponytail to keep it off your neck and feel cooler during hot summer days. I have a few more designs to photo and list. Look for them in the next week.

I have made a policy of never putting the same item on more than one site. In fact I have separate boxes to hold the inventory for each store. This is to make sure that no single item can sell on two different sites at the same time leading to an unhappy buyer especially if they want something I can't reproduce. It also helps to keep me sane. If you see the same item in all three of my shops, Etsy, Silkfair and Ecrater it is because three or more of them exist. I keep the prices the same on all sites so folks can shop with the system they are the most comfortable.

  1. the fabric for the blue paisley headband is terrific! I've been thinking of opening a second shop for my extra supplies. I have a poll about it on my blog. If you have some time before the end of the month, I'd sure appreciate some feedback.

  3. I got the blue paisley one and it is wonderful! I have to keep it put away when I'm not using it because my two daughters have been eyeballing it rather suspiciously. I don't want it to disappear on me!

    Thanks so much - it's wonderful, and you do beautiful work!

  4. Pamela thank you so much for the compliment! I have two daughters as well, they are grown and married now, and can understand the need to hide things from them.
