Girls Custom Birthday Party Hat


 Some people are just good gift givers and have really lucky friends. Custom made with yellow and green seersucker as a birthday party gift. "Mom's a prep" were my instructions. Huge pink buttons. Coming right up.


 I know I loved anything with my name on it as a kid. Hope Evelyn sweats her tiny top hat for years to come.

 

1.5" x tall x 2.5" wide.

The Poe Collection



Well, darlings... you know there are few things I love more in life than a photoshoot. An Edgar Allan Poe Collection has always been on my mind as a Baltimorean but doing it justice is a different story. Black and white with pops of red. Of course. Its been right in front of me all along.




Love the smell of hairspray in the morning. ;) Hair and Makeup by Ari and Carrie.
This crew came together like a dream. A perfectly dark and beautiful dream.


And Birthday treats for my favorite face, the beautiful and lovely, Erica Von Lindendberg




I love when I can tell someone absolutely loves what they do. Ari Lewis - you are magic. She's not just doing your makeup flawlessly, she's having a bloody ball. And thats what this ish is all about. All the while rocking a Two Back Flats' headpiece. Love to love you.



Thank you endlessly to the kind and creative Beth T Photography for showing up and capturing 
the day like a boss.

This spider is glittery and I love how she's so crawly.  I know. Try to contain yourself. 



At last! After years of requests, a plain black mini top hat in my shop. Its re-purposed black velvet in true Two Back Flats fashion. Enjoy. 




I know how desperately jealous you are of this set. Thank you to Travis Scagliarini for these ever so carefully crafted branches I'm never taking down.


These red fascinators are available as a set. Click photo:

 






Glitter Bat and Leather fascinator. Not a dream. 



IT'S A WRAP!! We had a pillow fight right after this. I promise.

If you're smart you'll click these links and call these girls for photography, hair, makeup and general coolness. What a freakin' crew!

Plorkology Mini Book Hat



 Play + Work = Plork . Hey. We totally believe in this around here. I have the delight of knowing one of University of Baltimore's Plorkology project leads, Meredith Purvis, who is as whimsical as she is smart and talented.


Leading a group of literary students to produce a collection of writing from start to finish from editing to book binding. Holy crap. That is brilliant. We love you already Plorkology.  Do yourself a favor and click that link.

  
"Meredith says it will be OK to fold a whole signature–eight pages–at once. This will cut our labor dramatically. Since the pages of the signature are going to be living together, they might as well be folded together, she adds. I think: the pages are alive, they’re like couples spooning, or hippies in a commune."  Sylvia Fischbach - Braden

Will I create a hat using MINI 1x2 versions of the anthology?!? Mother, may I?! Needless to say I was ecstatic to make this hat for the launch party tonight. I like all of my hats to tell a story through their found fabrics and trimmings and this one tells many.





 I know how much we all appreciate teeny tiny things but you can click THIS link for info on how to buy the "life-size" Plorkology.


 For my Baltimore locals - Check out the Facebook invite for the Reading and Party tonight.

And as always message me in my SHOP or on Facebook for your own custom headpiece.
