Custom Pinwheels

I love pinwheels. Sue me. I like putting them on my hats, I like putting them in my flower arrangements and on my lampshades and in your Easter baskets and your hair and your birthday presents, your kids and your dogs. But this headband! Oh this delicious red, white and blue headband takes my pinwheel shaped cake!! The retro carnival, state fair lover in me wants to wear this always.

So much so that I slapped a birdcage on it backstage in 3.5 seconds and it was my runway show finale piece for the Wounded Warriors Benefit!

All of the pinwheels are mismatched in vintage red, white and blue prints from stripes to houndstooth to eyelet! #classic

A few of my fave Two Back Flats pinwheel moments from the very first pink ones I used for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum hats!! Carnival weddings! Fourth of July Parade top hats! They just work for every. little. thing. Fricken delightful!

Bridal Carnival Mad Hatter Top Hat

Weddings. I love em all. Brides. Love them too. They're all wacked out on pretty things 24-7. I can relate. But once in a while a a bride comes along that blows even my mind away. 

 Firstly, when a bride says she's making her own wedding dress I, basically, buckle my seatbelt. This girl is cool. She's cooler than me. L created a dress somewhere between these two dresses. Lace sleeves, full skirt, le sigh*

Then comes a pinteresting message chock full of vintage carnival / circus inspiration! I die! Bowls of carnival tickets, photo booths, chalkboards! 

Oh and btw she says! These are the SPIKED HEELS I'll be wearing with my wedding dress. I danced. In place. I did a real dance. I had JUST found these teeny tiny spikes and was so excited to use them on  a hat. What better hat than this one!!!?

I had also recently purchased these A-MAZING vintage carnival tickets from Modern Poetry on Etsy. I was clearly meant to make this hat! 

Tiny spikes!!

L's wedding date is October 6th!! Hello Mad Hatter tag! I assure you...it does not stop there. This hat is so full of hidden treasures that it is a FEAST for your eyes from every angle. 

Monochromatic pink stripes, ivory satin, a modern orange calico fabric. Orchids! Lilies! Popcorn! You name it. This hat IS a carnival! 

So much love to Leesie on her wedding week! Thanks for being such an inspiration and trusting me with your headpiece! Hope you love it as much as I do!
