Hooray for SPRING!

SPRING! YAY! We have "enjoyed" a particularly wet, gray winter here in WA, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm ready for Spring. REALLY ready. Saturday was lovely here- sunny and nearly 70, and yet, we're back to the rain again. Oh please, PLEASE can we have a summer this year?
Ok, I digress..
So, because I've been so pro-Spring around here, I've been so inspired by its fantastic colors and sights - it's affecting all aspects of Tallulahville. Not just the headbands below, but my penchant for all things light and airy has rubbed off on my decorating as well (but that's for another day...) Who wouldn't be inspired by these colors??

spring green and pink, an old standby...

I made a collection of these bows for a wedding this month- they were for four little flower girls- the bride and groom are Sounders ticket owners- they had navy/white polka dots and pops of apple green everywhere. VERY fun. (More on the bride in a bit...)

my very favorite color - AQUA! Cute for a birthday bow (would be SO cute with a matching tutu!)

I love this fantastic new ribbon- pink and cream stripes...

...and this cupcake bow is girliness personified.

Let's not forget the newborns- white infant beanie with marabou/button detail

I'm sure you've seen this bow in prior posts- but I LOVE it on this bonnet...

It was time to try my luck with some new wool felt flowers- I love the vintage look of this mum on this bonnet

and this cabbage rose in navy with pearl center...

or in cream...

CORAL is so big this year- here is my ode to coral in the form of a large peony

NEW wool felt flowers on clips or headbands- love this blue/yellow combo-

or peach/taupe

I love this blue gardenia paired with the yellow flower...

or this peach one...

and the yellowy-cream simplicity of this flower (yet unnamed...) on the aqua

the new wool felt-y girls...

I love these fun covered headbands with flowers too- again with the pink/green... love that...

So here she is- my cute little bridey- Lindsey. Yes, I made her fabulous hairpiece- I'm calling it a petally flower. Yes, that is a technical term. Isn't she SUPER cute? I hope to have clearance (from her awesome photog) to post a few of her fantastic wedding pics later. Such a cute wedding.

Here's another "Lindsey" flower (maybe that's what I should name it. Sounds a lot better than "petally flower"...)

and another in bright white...

and one more in cream/pink pearl center

As you can see, it's been a bit busy around here. Three cheers for Springtime inspiration! Hooray!!!

...or perhaps here...

Well, SOMEBODY just turned one... and Tallulah was enlisted to make a grand First Bday ensemble for Miss Bella to wear- and I'm dying from the perfect storm of cuteness.

Brace yourself...Yep. I know. I think so too.

She is darling. B for Bella indeed.

What's New, Boogaloo?

So maybe you're asking (or maybe not... whatever) "Where are the Soirees, Lady? What's the deal?" Well, I'm afraid the soirees are going to have to take a backseat for a bit- there is much happening in Custom Tallulahland right now! I plan to post pictures as I complete each project- and there are a LOT of them- for instance, I'm making a swanky little hairpiece for a National Ballroom Dance competition, Spirit wear bows for BLHS, vintage rose corsages for flower girls at a vintage wedding, two bridal hairpieces, flower girl bows, and two cute flower girl tutu/corset ensembles! Phew! It's going to be a busy couple of months, but I can't WAIT to do more bridal/wedding party pieces! Yay! Pictures will follow soon- for reals!

So for now, I'm holding off on the soirees for a bit- hopefully I will host a "pre-Easter/Spring has sprung soiree" at my place later in April- but for now, I'm blissfully busy with custom orders- and that's all folks! :) I may be able to eek out a few little custom orders here and there- email/call/fb me to see what my week looks like. Stay tuned- updates coming soon!!

Meta-meta-mophosis

I remember when I was in second grade we learned about butterflies- and metamorphosis. We sang a song about it which went "Met-a-Met-a-Mor-pho-sis". I'd sing it for you if I could. Try not to be too disappointed that I can't. That song keeps coming to mind as I think about what I want to do with this blog. I think it's time to evolve and shake it up a bit...
So, I've been reading a lot of blogs lately. A. LOT. of blogs. I've always loved tutorials- I am a crafty girl- (I guess you probably know that) and I create a lot of different things here behind the scenes that I don't sell or write about- but I think I would like to change that. I would like to add a weekly tutorial, maybe a giveaway here and there, some fabulous links to things that inspire me, and, as always, post the latest happenings in Tallulahland.
So, if you're ready to take the plunge with me and hop up on this crazy train, follow along- and don't forget to find me on facebook!

A few newbies...

Hey Tallulah Fans- here are a few new friends joining the Spring '11 Tallulah collections- watch for them in my etsy store!

Look at these cuties! Use them as a headband, choker, bracelet, sash- whatever floats your boat!
