Victorian Tea Party Mini Top Hat

Try as hard as you possibly can to contain your jealousy: The lady I made this hat for gives pony rides for a living. And they're not just ponies. They're rainbow haired ponies. 

You know how I feel about rainbow hair.

 

Magical things happen to magical people. Just as I was completing her headpiece, I found this vintage horse cameo locket to complete it. Seriously. In that color blue.

This was a custom order to match a pink and blue floral Victorian tea party outfit Angela made for herself. If you love anything girly and lacy...you would flip! I hope we'll see pics of the whole ensemble together! Cough. Cough.

Custom Carnival Birthday Party Hat

There is something about making a hat for a five year old that overwhelms me with confusion and elation. The decisions! The choices! The possibilities! They're endless and I'm convinced its going to leave the studio trailing glitter with a mustache and a feather boa. 

 

I may have to step away more times than usual, but I think I always wind up with a balance of 

happy and classic.

 Popcorn and Jelly Bellys. #Thisisnotadream.

 

This was Connie's second custom piece from me which melts my heart and all.. but on top of it... this lady is cool. And it sounds like Olivia is too. "She loves all colors. The crazier the better I think". The solution = colorful polka dot lining. 

Mismatched patterns = always in style

The lineup if you're inspired to make some stuff mad:

Orange Calico Canvas

                                                              Bright Polka Dot Cotton

Yellow and White Stripe Satin 

Orange Argyle

 

 She even looked pretty as I was packaging her to ship.

 Happy almost birthday to Olivia! Bet your carnival party is going to be a SMASH! And thank you Connie for being an excellent gift giver and for this fun, fresh project. My birthday is June 24th.

As always for your own custom piece, message me on the ol' Facebook or Etsy. 

Love. love. love.

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!

Tim Burton Boudoir Shoot

Black and white striped headpiece designed for the stunning and talented Amanda of Anthomanic!  

When she sent me inspiration for her Tim Burton inspired shoot full of stripes, black and white lacy goodness and deep purple accents...I flipped. 

No. Seriously. My brain melted. I couldnt stop making hats.

These are just a peek to the boudoir portion of the shoot! Just WAIT til you see the set and the other hats! You're gonna freak out! 

Thank you Samantha Smith Photography for being so bloody talented!

Oh these little gum drops. These two tiny confections. Custom made for a SPLENDID (if I may say so myself) baby shower gift. Twin BOY AND GIRL! 

Apparently mamma likes muted tones, anything nautical and is having an Alice in Wonderland themed shower. Seersucker. Duh. 

I can hardly stand these yellow paper flowers. I sort of want an entire hat dripping with them. 

 Every little thing I do is girly girly girly so creating a hat for a baby boy to match was challenging. After trying 36 different things I went to my trusty buttons!! Love the pops of turquoise with the green and yellow.

The gift box!!

Thank you Olga!! You are such a great friend. I can hardly wait for these baby photos!!!!
