Halloween Hair Accessories

I am working on nine new headbands and can't wait to bring them in this weekend. Just to let you know all of my orange Halloween hair accessories are on special $5 and under! Just wanted to let you know since Halloween is only 10 days away! Hope this is a nice treat!

Beads

I know I just brought some new stuff in, but these beads were so pretty. I had to make something!

They are now at the store!

Buttons

I am back from my trip to Utah. I went to my older brother's wedding and of course went flower shopping! My husband pointed out to me that it was a sign I had to go to Hobby Lobby!

Today I will be bringing in a couple new headbands...they are each one of a kind. They are made with real antique buttons. I recently got a large tin of unique buttons that belonged to my Grandmother Jewel. It was later that I realized they had actually belonged to my Great-Grandmother because of the variety of  real vintage buttons.

My Great-Grandmother Daisy owned her own dress shop during the great depression called The Froc and Bonnet.

 The buttons were kept in a tin can that had roses on it. It is a candy tin for Mrs. Stevens Chicago chocolates. When I looked up this company I found out a little more.

"Mrs. Steven's Candies proved a very popular item in Chicago for several generations. Her three-pound box that sold for a dollar made it possible during the Depression for people with marginal incomes to purchase a quality box of chocolates. Her candy eventually sold through 22 retail stores and 800 outlets across the country."

Grandma told stories of when her father would go on business trips and bring her back presents. I can only imagine he brought back chocolates for his wife Daisy!

Feather Flowers

I have been saving these for a while, but since I will be going flower shopping next weekend I thought I could bring these in on Tuesday. I know I have made something pretty when I make a big mess! Here's a few pictures of what Tuesday will bring!

Wishing you a relaxing weekend !

Sale!

I was just in the store today and I consolidated my two areas to one! I have all my pieces next to the window on the left. I also went ahead and marked everything down so I could have more room for new peices!

Check out smaller items in the drawer!

I even put some on the shelf below! Come into the store and checkout the new deals!

Fall

Just starting on some new ideas for this week. I saw these orange feathers and made some very Autumn headbands and clips! Last week I found a fancy umbrella that inspired me to make a lacy flower. I had to make more than one because I didn't want to sell it, it is one of my favorites!

Also, this is the last week to enter for the Free Giveaway! All you have to do is follow my Blog or Facebook page. The winner gets to pick a free hair accessory from the AshleyAnn Designs collections at the store.

I will be in on Tuesday to drop off these new peices and many more!

In a couple weeks I will be making a trip to Utah and making a shopping trip as well to buy new materials and flowers! If any of you like certain colors, just let me know and I will make sure to look around!

love, AshleyAnn
