90210 Star Thanks Us for Pixie Bows!!

Jennie Garth from the original and current 90210 send us a lovely Thank-you note Thanking us for her daughters hair clips! What a wonderful surprise to receive her kind words in the mail. Above is a copy of the note along with a picture of the Pixie Bows she received.

We are busy working on getting the large Snapdragon (cut out bird & toadstool, only babysnap ones are up a the moment) and the Letter Felts up on the website, it took some re-programming and lots of photoshop to get them image ready for the web, but the cut outs will be up by this weekend and the letter felts might be this weekend if not by the first weekend in November. Sorry about the delay on those, I know there is a high demand for them as we have received lots and lots of emails in regards to them.

If you can't wait and really want one ASAP please feel free to email me at sharon@pixiebows.com and let me know what letter and if you want it in Pink, Blue or Chocolate and if you want a baby snap or large snap along with your mailing address and we will invoice you through paypal (you can still pay with CC if you don't have a paypal account). Thank-you for your patients on those!!

Fun in Hollywood

A few weeks ago we went up to Hollywood to participate in a PR lounge to gift celebrities for the Emmy's. It was a fun day ~ nothing like taking yourself out of your PJ's and into the midst of Hollywood glam. We are still waiting on the images of us with the guests but here is what our little Pixie table looked like. There were no BIG names but many up and coming stars and many supporting actors but neither the less it was fun to meet new people, make media contacts and to enjoy a day up in Hollywood.

Atlanta Childrens World

Here is a look at our booth from the Atlanta Apparel Mart - Children's World. It took lots of work to create our booth, from photo shoots and painting pots and frames (well I should say, Holly painting pots and frames) I luckily had the excuse that I was on the wrong coast, so Holly was a superstar and did all the hard work well I just sauntered into town to help with the final touches. We were very proud of our display when it was all put together and the pots became a big hit. Many of our new accounts we picked up wanted a pot to go along with the hair clips, so now we offer that as a display option for stores, are they not the cutest displays?

The show itself was rather slow but we did pick up some amazing new accounts who were so excited to find a new and truly unique hair accessory company. Most of what you see in the displays will be up on our site soon. In the coming weeks we will also be doing a post on the new stores that will be stocking us, they are all such fun stores, so we are over the moon to have them stock Pixie Bows.

Some Celebrity Loving

We just got back from our show in Atlanta (which I will do another post on with pics) and arrived to two wonderful notes from the 90210 crowd. What a wonderful surprise to find them waiting on the desk to be opened.

Jason Priestleys daughter got a Large Crochet and an Organza Flower Clip along with a very new Felt style that will be on our website soon. Then you can also purchase in our Limited Edition the Ladybug clips we did for Stella's birthday party.

Tori Spelling's Ladybug!

This past Saturday, June 6th, was Tori Spelling's little girls birthday party. Included in the gift bags for her guests were our custom designed Ladybug felt clips! You too can have a little Ladybug felt clip for the little toddler in your life, they are available for purchase in our Limited Edition category. So cute!

New Styles & Happenings

We are always reworking, listening and creating to make sure we are bringing to you what you are looking for. So we recently made some additions and changes that we are very excited about.
We had lots of requests for a chocolate brown Crochet Baby Snap, now we have it! We thought we were missing a chocolate/pink combo in the Tulip so we have an adorable Cat Tulip which is beyond cute. (See Ava, our cute 4th of July model on the front page, she is wearing the 4th of July Tulip, it is the sweetest little clip for the toddler in your life.)
We also have got lots of requests for bigger, bigger, bigger, so we have a really fun and bold large felt clip Dahlia that measures 2 inch in diameter, it is a fun pop to any wardrobe, this is our only felt clip that comes on a covered alligator clip. We are still working on some new and fabulous styles and we will share them with you as soon as we have them.

This Saturday is Stella's (Tori Spellings little girl) Birthday Party. We are excited to see what all the Mama's that attend think of our custom hair clips we were asked to make for her bags. The theme of her party is Ladybugs, so we made some cute fun ladybug felt clips for her. We also send some custom styles for Stella herself to wear and one of each of our Crochet Baby Snaps for little Stella. Tori has been very gracious and said she will take some pictures of Stella wearing our clips for us to use on our press page. We will let you know when we have those up.

This summer is going to be a busy, busy one for us here at Pixie Bows. We have lots going on and I can't wait to tell you all about it once we have all the details sorted out...... so stay tuned but in the mean time go check out our new styles www.pixiebows.com

Memorial Madness Sale

So excited to let you know that we have our 4th of July hair clips and bows up on the site now. They are SO cute. You can view them in our newly created - Holiday- catagory.

Tori Spelling and Stella's 1st Birthday

We are so excited to let you all know that we have been asked to provide clips for Tori Spelling's little girl Stella's 1st Birthday Party Gift Bags! We came up with some custom designs for her and she apparently was very excited about them - YAY! So after her birthday party has been we will reveal the clips that we are sending. This is such an amazing opportunity for our company. The birthday party will be filmed for -Tori & Dean, Home Sweet Hollywood - so we hope to see our cute clips on the show! We will let you know when we find out the date it will air!

This is a great idea if your little girl is having a birthday party, give little hair clips in the gift bags too, it is different and cute. We have lots of themed clips to choose from, from our novelty small bows to our tulip felt clip, or even a simple but elegant crochet baby snap. Another great idea is to use the clips as cute toppers to your gifts you give to little girls or at baby showers, our clips always come in cute little organza bags perfect to add to the top of a gift.

4th of July

I know Memorial weekend has not even come and gone yet but I thought I would let you in on a little secret! We are busy working on our 4th of July designs and are aiming for this coming weekend to have them up on the site! So be sure to come back and check them out. We will have a large felt clip, a hair bow, a crochet baby snap and a few organzers. All so cute and festive.

So much going on at Pixie Bows

We have had quite a whirl wind of happenings over here at Pixie Bows since our launch, it makes us so excited at what the future will hold for our little company. We are busy making clips for Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and Brooke Burke for Mothers Day (well for their little girls) - YAY! As well as gift certificates for a few other celebrity moms. We are also busy putting together media kits to go out to 7 media outlets - WOW! All so exciting!! There is some other exciting celebrity news that might happen and we will tell you if and when it happens, for right now it is under wraps.
We are starting to get into some select boutiques around the country, so keep your eyes out you might start seeing us pop up in a boutique near you. If you have any boutiques in your town that are high end and a must shop venue for all the hip moms of your town please email us at customerservice@pixiebows.com with their info and we will be sure to send out a package to them.

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air and so is the revamping of our website. It will jump with the joy of spring when it is launched in a few days. We are busy figuring out some kinks and then we will be ready to set it free into cyberspace. I am getting nervous as it has been such a long process to get it here that I am almost scared to let it go and show it to the world. Like a child you want to hold it close and protect it from any harsh words but I am very proud of the outcome and I am sure you will see the love and time put into our work.

If you haven't already, don't forget to pop over to www.PixieBows.com sign up for 25% off your first order when we launch.

**In the picture our felt flower "Violet" is featured ~ just to give you a glimpse of what is to come.

We are still here!

I know most of you must be wondering what happened to us! One minute we were talking about our big launch and the next we had fallen off the face of the planet. Well lots has happened over the past few months. Both Holly and I had the opportunity to travel out of the country for a couple of months and we did not want to turn that down. So with that happening we decided to postpone our big launch until both of us were back in the US of A so we could be on top of all the orders that will be flooding in. We were also wanting our website to be top notch so Paul has been chained to the desk until he has got it to that point.

So having said all that we are looking very promising to have our big launch the end of this month, we will keep you posted.

Thanks again for your patients, you won't be disappointed!
