Feelin' Free

I made this red, white and blue top hat for a lovely little pageant lady. But, I had to light some sparklers and get my 4th of July on with it before it shipped! (Don't worry - only for a moment ;)

Handmade from scratch using ALL upcycled fabrics. Pretty rad.

Happy short work week fellow Americans!

One Love,

Mini Top Hat - The Bijou

All that glitters is quite obviously gold.

The ever delightful Tonya of Tonya Joy Photography held a carnival inspired photography workshop in sunny California last week. Tonya's vision was my personal circus dream. Among the pages of completely glittered fantasy inspiration, she included this:


Well, we all know how much I truly adore the carnival and working with glitter. I immediately knew I wanted to make the Bijou. A sleek, elegant, whimsical and delicate hat that is completely couture. But first! I had to get the ribbons and lollipops out of my system. Here is just a peek of other top hats inspired by Tonya.



(Jasika fact: I am a hoarder. I have had these colorful pastel ribbons since 2007 when Petite Four Couture was born. They were included on the very first PFC gift box. I may keep this hat for myself... See? Hoarder.)

I don't blame Tonya one bit for choosing The Bijou for the photo shoot. It looks right at home.

You must swing by to Tonya's blog for more breathtaking carnival photos from the day.

Front Page of Etsy AGAIN! And how!

One of Two Back Flats' mini top hats was featured on the front page of Etsy for the second time this week!! You can only imagine my excitement! I want to thank all of the amazing people who include me in their treasuries!!


My Striped Circus Mini Top Hat is adorable and chic and sweet and oh so charming! Part of the Peppermint Pretty Collection, this hat was inspired by the The Carnival! While my other Peppermint Pretty hats are a little louder, bolder from deep reds to actual popcorn and peppermints attached, this hat is soft. I was inspired by real down home carnivals. Ribbons and lace and curls and farm animals and a little bit of dust in the air.

The best part of this hat other than the gorgeous ivory flower buttons and veil is that it's made up of 90% recycled materials! That delicate red and white striped fabric used to be a men's button up!

I adore this hat and you and Etsy!

Much love on this hot summer day!
