Christmas/Winter Little Cutie Bows!

Princess G Bows!

These bows are something that is very near and dear to my heart. In May my best friend, Kristi's 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with a very rare heart condition that leaves no other option but for a heart transplant. The past 8 months have been a road full of Ups and Downs as her family has uprooted their lives... Prepared for a Heart Transplant and then in September Gabriella had a stroke. Now they are on the road to recovery from her stroke and preparing to hopefully be listed back on the transplant list in January. Kristi is my "soul mate" we are 2 weeks apart and have always joked that we are "sisters separated at birth" even though we look nothing alike. Gabriella and my daughter Lilly are 3 days apart. Our girls are what brought us together.

I created these bows because Gabriella is my #1 bow customer!! She sports a Sweet Pea Swank bow almost everyday!! I thought this would be the perfect way to help support her and even though its not a lot make a small but meaningful dent in her fight to get a new sparkly heart! 100% of the proceeds of these bows goes directly to Gabriella's heart fund. I have 2 different ribbon choices available and you can have them made into a "Little Cutie" or a "Simply Swank"!

You can read about Gabriella's condition and Story HERE

New Bows!!

November already!? It seems as though the seasons are passing me by! Here are some new bows that I've recently posted to my Etsy shop!

Unless you have been living under a rock recently you are probably familiar with or have heard of the Twilight saga book series by Stephenie Meyer. They recently have been made into movies and with the 2nd movie New Moon hitting theatre's on the 20th of this month I've had a lot of request for some Twilight inspired bows! Since I'm also a huge fan of the series, I went on a hunt for some ribbon and I think I found some that had the perfect amount of "sparkle" just like our favorite Vampire. :)

Next I have a couple Thanksgiving/Fall Bows These are the Bows that my daughters dubbed "Jack" bows... Inspired from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Jack Skellington" And just a couple other "Little Cuties"

Wedding Bows!

Some friends of ours were married on September 5th , 2009 and I had the privilege to make a couple of bows for the wedding! Once again my number 1 customer Courtney had me make a "Mini Simply Swank" bow for her AMAZING Hairstyle and I also got to make a set of "Little Bows" for the flower girl Brooke! Brooke is 2 days older than my daughter so it was extremely fun to make some cute little piggie bows for her!! It was also really fun counting how many Sweet Pea Swank bows were in attendance AT the wedding accompanied by the GUESTS!! I think I counted at least 7 or 8!! :D

Congrats Jenna and Justin!!

Recent Custom Bows!

Here are some recent custom bows that I have done!

These are great for Ponytails! The top 2 are my "Baby Got Bow" style and the bottom was designed for an 80's party to match a costume!

(As Shown in the Picture below! Courtney is also wearing a "MaggieMoo TuTu". Thank You Courtney for Modeling!)

These were a custom order for Jessica! They show some of the fun new ribbon I have and the many ways you can do "Little Cuties" and "Little Bows"! Rhinestones, and Buttons are always fun ways to glam up your bows!!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my blog for Sweet Pea Swank!

This will be a place where I can come to show you the latest and greatest items that I'm working on for Sweet Pea Swank! I wanted to get this up and running alot sooner but it has been a VERY busy summer in our household and this has been the first chance I've had to sit down and get it going!!

I've been very busy working on custom orders this summer for mostly friends! When I started this business I had it in mind that this would be mostly creating bows for babies/toddlers/kids but little did I know what it would turn out to be! Some of my best and most faithful customers are actually my best friends in their 20's! Who knew that Sweet Pea Swank would inspire a new trend! I will start posting pictures soon of some of the custom orders I've been working on over the summer! In the meantime don't forget the stuff I have currently listed in my shop!

I'm working on some new bows and other projects that will be hitting my etsy shop in the very near future so keep your eye out! And as always you can contact me for your very own custom order! Thanks so much for your support!!
