Vintage Lace Hair Wreath

Featured on  ETSY WEDDINGS!!! And HOW! 

I think I dreamed this hair wreath because when I found oodles of this creamy lace in great grand ma ma's sewing kit, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It is now immortalized on Etsy and as part of the delightful Cherry Blossom Collection.  Wedding Trends INDEED.




In its element

Pirate Wedding Tricorn Hat

I have been dying to make more mini tricorn hats, so I am so glad Lindsey came along with her Pirate themed wedding that is going be during the Portland Pirate Festival. How awesome is that?!

I like every one of my hats to have a little story and this one is chock full of goodness. It was handmade from scratch using an upcycled cream and ivory striped fabric that used to be my mom's stunning drapes.


Vintage button collected from a thrift in Delaware.

All the lace trims are vintage and steamed. They were found at a fabulous flea market in Vermont. They have seen the freshest of air and the breathtaking Berkshire mountains. What a trip.



And where would any of us be without a fluffy natural white ostrich plume?


I love this hat so much, it is officially listed in my Etsy Shop. Click THIS for the listing.
Congrats to you Lindsey!
Happy day friends.

Mother Daughter Tea Party Hats

Back by popular demand! A new pair of matching tiny top hats for moms and their girls or girls and their dolls. Our last set of tea party hats have been retired for a few months, but I have to confess - I am loving this new design more than anything.


I picked up this pink and white Laura Ashley fabric in "English Country Rose" at my favorite little beach fabric shop on the Eastern Shore. When I saw that is was stain resistant, I knew it was perfect for the new children's set.


I wanted to keep with the classic "shabby chic" feel of the print. The oversized bow is made with a pale, blush pink satin. The vintage ivory lace trim and brown leather buttons were both picked up at a Vermont flea market. (Along with a pink tambourine and rickety fiddle)

For all you mom's, aunts and serious gift givers - I cannot think of anything more perfect or more unique for a baby shower or girl's birthday party gift.

Click THIS to purchase

Most of my designs can be replicated as a set - so never fear asking for whatever floats your boat!

Happy Tea Time you dainty little ladies!

Mini Top Hats

...for anyone who likes some sparkle with their shake.

Trixie and Roxy are BACK and they are hot. hot. hot. So many thanks to Alana at Vanity's Edge Design for the sexy pin ups!



I cannot tell you how much fun I had making these top hats. Trixie is fully lined in red satin, then hand glittered and sealed with clear coat for full shine and non-flakiness. No glitter trails for you. I, on the other hand have red glitter on my dogs, in my coffee mugs, in my husband's beard, on my eyelashes....I could think of worse things.


Roxy is Trixie's bestie. Perfect for anyone who is always in charge. I have had this ridiculously awesome black foiled pvc for months. Finally a part of a pair! Fully loaded with faux leather bow, black lace and stunning black feathers. The perfect accessory to any crime.




Valentines day is right around the corner and these puppies are ready to ship. Models not included.

Love. Love. Love.

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!
Jas
