A very special headband

While vending at the LA Renegade I ran into Jamila Tazewell the Owner/ Designer of 11:11 enterprises. We first met at the Austin Maker Faire, where she purchased a white feather fascinator headband with a vintage blue embelishment from me. She shared a very special story with me about that headband.

"It was great seeing you again! Here is a picture of me in your gorgeous creation from my wedding day.... As I told you, your headpiece saved me! I am a real girly girl and so I never in a million years thought I would get married in sweatpants! They were white, but still....anyhow, we wanted to elope and we really didnt have much time at all to plan it, in secret, so I had to make do...wearing your feather creation made me feel truly special on that day. This pic I attached was taken on a walk we took in the woods that afternoon after we did it. It was a beautiful, very private time I will treasure forever. Thank you again for making beautiful things, and thank you for that gorgeous piece!!! I am so glad I met you at that show in Austin!"

Austin Maker Faire 2008

One word to describe this event would be BLAST! I made a ton of new friends like Bonnie Rue from Model Citizens, I received a lot of love from the local shoppers and even got a change to hang with my favorite Austin Mafiosa's Jennifer Perkins from Naughty Secretary Club and Hope Perkins from Hot Pink Pistol.


The event was full off really cool hand made items! I picked up a business card holder from 11:11 enterprises, a hand painted wooden ring from Pamela Michelle, a killer necklace from Sprout Jewelry and new iron transfers from Sublime Stitching and some kids items from Baby Bolt.

Now it's back to work!

Lovessss!
