G R A P E - Purple Organza Flower Hair Clip


With my thick curly hair, sometimes it is hard for me to find hair accessories that actually keep my hair up. I am always on the search for something cute, but strong. From one of my favorite shops, I found this beautiful organza flower alligator clip. The beautiful handmade flower is so elegant, yet the clip is very strong to hold up to all types of hair. I am a proud owner of this clip in sapphire blue organza. I love how I can wear my hair in a pretty updo and stick this lovely clip in to help hold all my thick hair up. I love it so much I might have to get another one in this pretty purple! To find this great hair clip, as well as other handmade hair accessories, visit Twisted Flowers.

Mockingjay Quote Bookmark


I recently read The Hunger Games series. Best books I have ever read! Which is saying a lot, because a have read many, many great books. I was inspired to create a bookmark to go along with the books. The bookmark pictured has a quote from the third book in the series, Mockingjay. At the end of the book, Peeta asks Katniss, "You love me. Real or not real?" Her answer, "Real." Along with this sweet quote, there is a small white pearl to represent the one Peeta gave Katniss. Fan or not, this is a touching quote that could represent any love. To find this simple, yet romantic bookmark, along with other handmade items, visit Pretty Petals Paper Shop.

Melanie Collection


I was on Etsy this morning when I came across this beautiful clutch. From the second I saw it, I knew I needed to share it with others. The color and floral pattern is so captivating. A giant pink dahlia is featured on one side of the bag, and a lovely pink, yellow, and green lily is featured on the other. Absolutely stunning! This clutch is perfectly sized, made with high quality fabric, and handmade with wonderful quality. This would be great to have for the coming summer season.

Hope For Japan - Set of 8 Gift Tags


After the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I wanted to find a way to help. I decided to create items for my shop and donate 100% of the sales to disaster relief efforts. This set of gift tags is one of the items I created with Japan in mind. The red flower stamped on the white tag is symbolizing the Japanese flag. These tags are so lovely! They have even made it to the Front Page of Etsy, twice. I am so excited about all of the donations so far, and looking forward to more. Sales from these gift tags, as well as other tags and cards in my shop, will be donated to the American Red Cross. To find these, visit my shop prettypetalspaper.etsy.com. God Bless :)
