Always loved "Cooties"

Have you ever been to www.Etsy.com ? I really enjoy going to this site. The creativity and inspiration that you can find here will really help to personalize your event. When I was a kid I was always making Cootie Catchers. It was my fortune keeper, it helped to predict my next boyfriend and told me my favorite color. I just love them for invitations or seating cards or just about anything where you have something special to tell someone.

I found these by going to Etsy then putting in the search Kat’s Krafts. You can “do it yourself” or she will make them for you… check it out it will definitely “catch” some great reactions! xoxox Mindy

"Hair" Comes the Bride

gall_1_large_13.jpggall_1_large_19.jpggall_2_large_4.jpggall_3_large_5.jpgHi Everyone! Sorry I haven’t written been out of the country for a week…A lot of my Brides lately have been changing into second dresses. Often they ask me what should they do to their hair for the style change. Now you have to make sure whatever you choose to do is uncomplicated and a quick fix. While searching the web I found this wonderful site www.jenniferbehr.com . I love her Whimsical, Vintage inspired hair accessories. These are the chicest twist on hair accessories I have seen. The headband look with the jeweled broach would be perfect for the bride that doesn’t want to wear a veil. The sailor knot is darling for a beach-nautical feeling for the bridesmaids. The jeweled headband I loved for blinging it up after dinner even if you don’t change your outfit. Wouldn’t it be great just to pull your hair back in a ponytail and add a great band. The very encrusted headband (a bit pricey) is fabulous for a bright colored outfit change…

Her antique crystals look like from another era but on some pieces she uses elastic which is one of the best modern comforts. After so many great responses of me in my flower headband I would love to see pictures of you in your favorite hair accessories.
