Hello! Hello! Is this thing on?

OK blog readers, I know you’re there! My statcounter tells me so! But still not commenting? Don’t know if I’m boring you (it’s ok, you can tell me that too!), you’re shy or maybe even your keyboards are broken. So just a reminder for those interested in a free 5×7 print from my etsy shoppe, comments on this blog count too! *click the link if you are feeling a bit lost*

But for the young whippersnappers (I don’t actually think you are whippersnappers, I just love that word!) reading – a special offer just for you! I’m feeling very needy so, if you help me grow my facebook fan base, you’ll be entered to win these adorable poppy hair clips that I highlighted yesterday.

Here’s what you need to do… Become a fan of willowdawn photography on facebook. Really. It’s that simple. But to know that you’ve become a fan, I will need you do come back and leave a comment with your name (be sure it matches your facebook name so I know who is who) and telling me you are a fan. It’s as simple as that! Invite your friends to become fans as well. The more the merrier. And for the guys reading, I’m looking for something cool for you… just still looking.

I know it’s only January, but….

Prom will be here before you know it! I’ve been scouring Etsy.com for wonderful accessories for the upcoming prom season. If you don’t know what Etsy is, I HIGHLY recommend checking it out! Bajillions of handmade items that you buy from the person who actually makes them! And because they are handmade, the likelihood of another girl showing up wearing the same accessories or dress – well, is pretty slim. So if you like to be unique, stand out from the crowd and have your own personal style – definitely head over to Etsy and poke around. Scarves, mittens, t-shirts, jewelry, bags, belts, lip balm and body lotions! You name it, you’ll find it one Etsy. Anyway, I digress! Prom! Imagine walking into your prom wearing this dress!

I can pretty much guarantee NO other girl will be wearing one like it! Seriously, how incredibly awesome is this dress?? Check it and others like it (including some shorter lengths and different colours) out at Glamarita’s Etsy Shop!

OK, so the tie dress is little too avant garde for your tastes and you prefer a more traditional look, no worries. While you may have purchase your dress from a more traditional retailer, Etsy still has tons of beautiful accessories to go with your more traditional gown. Lovely head bands like this one from dashley designs.

Or these lovely hair pins – also from dashley designs…

And if you spend hours pouring over the Urban Outfitters catalogs, here’s a shop that is perfect for you. Check out the vintage styled feather fascinators from It’s the Little Things – again, no one else will have your accessories when you get something handmade!

Each of these shops are filled with wonderful handmade treasures and there are thousands more jewels to be discovered on Etsy… so come Friday, when the snow starts falling and you’re stuck indoors – surf over to Etsy and see if you can’t find THE perfect accessories for your Prom. Oh, I almost forgot – Etsy sells VINTAGE items too – so be sure to browse around the vintage section – you are sure to find some funky and fun items there!

Gift Giving Made Simple | Custom Photo Jewelry

admin — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:23:51 +0000

I announced a few weeks ago that I was working with a new vendor to create jewelry works of art! I’m excited to say that my samples have arrived and WOW, they are gorgeous!!! Necklace in a few different styles, a bracelet, keyring and even an Christmas ornament! The best part – the turn around is FAST so even you shopping procrastinators will have time to order and receive these before December 25th! Though just to be safe and because I don’t wish to work like a crazy woman right up to the holidays, orders should be place no later than December 11th… that’s one month – so plenty of time. Each item will be presented in a gift box and complimentary gift wrapping, complete with a darling gift bag. I’ll post a follow up photo of the gift presentation once my wrapping paper arrives. As is my “crunchy” way – the gift boxes, paper and gift bag are all made from recycled paper and the ribbon is made from recycled soda bottles!!! How cool is that?

Bracelet has two images!

I wore the necklace with Miss C in it to a party last night and three MEN – exclaimed how gorgeous it was. So if the men are noticing – you KNOW it has to be beautiful, right!?!? Oh, and keep an eye on the blog – working on a “Black Friday” offer to include the jewelry!!!

It’s my birthday!

And just because a post without a photo is just plain wrong…
