Crash!!

yep...that's what my computer did a week ago. I am still here working on bows and feverishly trying to retrieve the information I can.
I am hoping to have my new computer any day now as well as some more pictures to post.

Thanks for your patience, and be sure to back up your hard drive a little more often.

Need some cool clips for your cool back to school clothes?

...or maybe you'll buy an outfit just to match one of our new super adorable clips.

Our new collection of simple clippies are here. They are clips lined with imported ribbon made to Oeko-tex standard...meaning they are made using safe materials. Not to mention the cuteness factor alone is to die for!




Also new, some items for the girls with a bit more hair. Our new Monogram Me Pony-O (as we all know how I am with Monograms).


and the new Princess hair streamer (by a surprise popular demand- meaning I made it for something else and ended up having a huge response to it!)



And not to be outdone, we now have added the little girl version of our sparkle clip. Our new sparkle snaps are made for those with whispy hair.


I am hoping this will help keep some back to school clothes looking even cooler this year...can you believe we will be looking at Holiday items soon?

If you have any ideas you'd like to see, please send me an email! Some of our most popular items came from a customer request!

Eeeck!

Here's a sneak preview of some of the new clippies soon to come.

Gorgeous ribbon makes for gorgeous clippies.

You are welcome.

Some technical difficulties. Arg.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have been having some email troubles. I am receiving (at least to my knowledge) all emails, but they are not always going out.
If you email me and do not hear back within 48 hours, try again. I try to answer each and every email.
I have also been sending emails via my personal email, so they may not be coming in from The Bowtique and rather under Jill B. We are one and the same.

That is all.
Happy Weekend!

Summer is almost here and so are we!

Finally! As you can tell freom the lack of blog responses, life has been keeping me too busy to update here.
I am happy to report that we have successfully (well, with most of us in tact anyway) relocated across the country and are settling into our new surroundings (mostly).

I managed to re-open in mid May and boy were you waiting! I am just getting caught up to the plethora of orders that were placed right away. The wait times should be shorter very soon. (but I thank you for your loyal enthusiasm).

To those who check in here- a special surprise...go over to one of my fav new Mom Blogs and you could win a $20 shopping spree to TheBowtique.com.

Visit This Mama Loves Her Bargains for some great deals and giveaways...you won't be sorry!

More to come soon.

New Year...New Stuff.

At last!
I have managed to get some new and some of the long-promised designs up on the website!
The ever adorable "Tweetheart Fuzzy". Perfect for Valentine's Day or anytime for someone you love.


The Retro Flower bow.


The most adorable re-do- Monkey Fuzzy.


Something I have wanted to do a looong time...and also a big hit at our house!


By popular demand- new Felt Flower Headband. (with more felt headbands coming soon!)


I seem to be busier than usual for this time of year...so most orders will be a solid 10-14 days to complete right now (plus shipping time).
Please bear with me, I am doing my best to get through the rush and hope to add a few more new spring designs...think cute little snail, ladybug bow and whatever else I can squeeze in.

Also note that we will probably be moving across the country (yes, once again) in March, so I will have to close for a few days to keep a bit of sanity. Just be sure to check out hte front page. I seem to be much better updating there than here lately.

Hapyy 2010!!!

Meet the Newest Bowtique Boy!

Yes, I said Boy!
The Bowtique household was blessed with a new addiiton on Oct. 19th.
Eric Thomas weighed 8 lbs, 3 oz with a bit of hair. Sadly, he won't be sporting too many Bowtique bows, but he's still a good guinea pig to try some new styles. (shhhhh...don't tell his Dad).

It's been 2 weeks and we are slowly getting back to reality. There is still not too much sleep, so I am slower than usual, but happy to report that I can now remember my name.

This leads to me wonder just when I will re-open The Bowtique.
I think I will re-open the 2nd week of November. I realize this does not leave alot of time to order for Christmas, especially since orders will be take me a good 10-14 days.
For this, I am sorry. I hope to be working at a quicker pace once we are in a good groove, but for now, I must place my attention first on my family.

I will be posting the Christmas order deadline on the front page very soon. So keep your eyes open!

As always- thanks to all for the well wishes and your patience during this time of big transitions for my family.

Twinkle Twinkle little ....Clip!!

You have to see them to believe them! These are my new personal favorite!

Our new Sparkle Clip. It looks like someone just poured a whole bunch of glitter all over the clip....but the good news is that the sparkle stays on.
Our new Sparkle clip is made using a unique sparkle ribbon. It is carefully lined onto an alligator clip and completed by our super duper hair grippers.
These are perfect for everyone.
Simple and chic enough for the big girls, sparkley enough to catch the little girls attention.
And let's face it, what girl can not resist something sparkley?

Available in 5 colors- pink, violet, silver, turquoise and brown.

Back to School and Looking Cool!

I look at the last post and can not believe it was been that long since I have posted. Shame on me.

But fear not- I am still here toiling away to bring you more cuteness on a clip.
And without further ado- here are some of our newest additions to The Bowtique, just in time for back to school!





Also not quite new, but very exciting:

We have added new colors to the sequin dragonfly clips. They now come in orange and black! These are limited in numbers right now until we see how popular they will be!



We also have added the choice of lower case or upper case letters for our Monogram Me Felt clips! (by popular demand).

Aaaaaaaand...our Big Girl Felt Clips have been reduced from $8 to $7. So as the cost of living goes up, at least the cost of felt clips goes down!

Your welcome!

New Designs!

Gosh, its been awhile since I have posted on here. It seems that daily life has gotten the better of me as I have been busier with the girls, bows, my personal blog, Easter, visitors, and oh yeah, being pregnant.

Yessiree. I suppose my husband and I thought life was just getting too simple, so we decided to add baby #3 to The Bowtique household. Which would also explain my lack of blogging and updating the site.
But the first trimester is over and I slowly seem to be gaining an ounce or two of energy back, so I will do my best to update the blog a little more often.

But until then, here's what you really want...some pictures of the new clips.
As you can see, I have been on a bit of a Felt Fuzzy kick. I am slowly re-designing some old styles (like the ladybug) to give them a fresher new look.

And for those who read the blog, a secret sale for you...
Enjoy 20% off your order through April with the code: BLOG20

The Bowtique meets Facebook

Welcome to the 21st century.
The Bowtique is now on Facebook! Woohoo!
I though it would be a great way to find me quickly or post suggestions. I will also be having some exclusive promotions just for The Bowtique group on Facebook, so be sure to join us...and tell some friends!!



Just click the facebook logo to check it out!



And the spring stuff is coming...very, very soon.

Happy Day all!

Mark your calender- we're taking a break!!

I know, I know I am waaaay behind on the blogging. Truth be told, I have been much busier with bows than I anticipated.
Well that and I have much more on my plate than usual (and that will be clearer to you in a few weeks).
For the past few weeks, I have made alot of bows and clips for a local organization for charity. I am finally finished with that, so now I can focus solely on my current orders again!
Well, current orders and trying to get some new re-designs up.
Yes, its true I have mentioned this before, but they are underway.
A new tiara clip and a couple new spring and easter bows, as well as the first headband to feature some felt pieces. (my 5 year old was the inspiration for this one)

However, right now its important for me to step back and take a breather. I know its time to take a break when I start mess up orders. So to ensure my customers receive my best work and I gain a bit of sanity and some much needed family time, I will be closing The Bowtique from

March 14th - March 22nd
(give or take a few days)

This will still give those who need Easter bows a window of opportunity to get some bows when I return in time for Easter.
A big thanks to everyone's support. I would not be doing what I love if it wasn't for you!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yes, we are still here. I have been much busier than expected for this time of year, which explains my lack of posting!
But rest assured, I am working on some new spring bows and clips.
Coming soon will be some new adorabley sweet bunny ribbon and a pretty spring creamsicle and pink polka dot ribbon.
I have also decided to redesign a few clips. There will soon be a new monkey, plus a few other felt additions that have been in the works for waaaaay too long. I just seem to lack to time to get these new products on the website.

Also just a quick note that I will be taking a break and closing The Bowtique for a week or two towards the end of March. I will post the exact dates as we get closer.

Valentine's Sale!

I know..shocking huh? So rarely do I have a sale before a holiday!
Well...here you go.
Most Valentine bows and clips will be on sale before you actually need them in February.
The worklist is not too bad, but remember to give yourself enough shipping time. When in doubt, I highly recommend Priority shipping and sending me a quick email.
Enjoy!!

New Super cool adjustable snug headbands are here!

Oh yeah!
Our new super cool adjustable snug headbands are here. But we are just going to call them adjustable headbands for short.
They are so simple, they're brilliant and they stay in so well, you'll wonder why we didn't come up with this sooner!

Our solid color toggle headbands go with everything. They are simple enough for everyday and pretty enough for special occasions. They are made with 5/8 grosgrain ribbon and feature a simpley sweet tuxedo bow.
They can be adjusted to a snug fit using our unique toggle clasp. Very popular with girls of all ages! (just ask a couple of MY friends!)



We will also be adding additional prints soon...but for now you can request almost any print ribbon we have in stock!


Be sure to check them out at our introductory price!

New Designs!

New Year, new designs!
I seem to be a little on the slower side of things this year...and its only been 10 days into 2009! But here are a few of the new designs to be added whenever I get a spare minute! (hardy har, like I ever get a spare minute). I have been working on a large donation order for an upcoming fund raiser, so things are still pretty hectic around here!
But I will do my best to add new items the next few weeks.

Without further ado, and just in time for Valentine's Day...




and St. Patrick's Day.


But my new favorite is the rainbow clip. Inspired by a customer that wanted a rainbow, I decided this one was too cute not to share.
Available in both big and little girl sizes, its perfect for spring!


More new designs are still on the way!

Happy New Year!

Hi all!!

I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy holiday! As you can tell from my lack of blog entries, I have been Busy (so busy, that I needed a capitol B on busy)!!

But as things at home wind down, I am looking to the new year for new designs!
I am hoping to soon launch a new line of adjustable headbands! These will also be a great choice for the Bowtique Moms too.

I will also be adding some new princess clips to the site this month. These have been in wild demand from my friends. I am guessing that this is the season to visit the happiest place on Earth. I should know, as we recently went to visit our neighbor Mickey.


So, here's a sneak preview of some super adorable clips- Snow White, Cinderella and Tinkerbell.




Okay- that's just a quick update so everyone doesn't think I have disappeared.
I will be working on getting some new designs up within the month or so. Including a new St Patty's bow and some spring sequin clips (also around the corner).
As always- please feel free to email me with any questions or requests!
