Retro 80's Barrettes

Lemondrops & Hard Candies

noreply@blogger.com (love modish & retro) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:44:00 +0000

We have been in the mood for some candies - we came up with new designs (earrings and hair accessories) added to our collections at our Etsy shop.

These fun-loving lemondrops dangling earrings and beaded bobby pin look retro-licious, trying not to be tempted to eat those lemondrops (think "Lemonhead" candies). :-) They can be a part of your casual wardrobe - it is always fun wearing them on the weekends.

Here is one of our newest beaded bobby pins added to our collection called "Hard Candies." A lovely brown bobby pin with flat round golden yellow glass beads would add a splash of color to your hair especially when you are going to work or socializing with your friends!

Check out our newest designs added to our collections at our Etsy shop. Also, we will continue blogging - visit our blog for shop updates and other things to blog about. :-) Have a great weekend!

More Things at our Mintd shop! :-)

We've added a couple of items to our Mintd shop last week - hot pink dangling earrings and silver beaded bobby pin. We are gradually adding more things to our Mintd shop because we are still learning how to buy/sell items at Mintd.

We've enjoyed being a part of Mintd community - everyone's so nice and friendly. Oh, did you know that Mintd is a year old now? You can read about it at their website. (Hey Mintd, I wish you a happy belated birthday!) :-)

Hope you have a wonderful day and have fun shopping at Mintd! :-)

We have been a member of Lizards and Lollipops since this spring. Lizards and Lollipops is a street team at Etsy for Etsy sellers who specialize in one of a kind accessories for girls and boys. Lizards and Lollipops promote members' handmade items for girls and boys through their launches that would be posted on Etsy forum under "Promotions" section every month on the 1st and 15th days. In previous launches, we have had different kind of themes such as Hawaiian, Stars and Stripes, At the Zoo, Halloween, Princess and Pirates, and Camouflage.

We created these orange and black braided ribbon barrettes for Lizards and Lollipops' Halloween launch last month. It can be a part of your child's Halloween costume or everyday wear. For more information about Halloween barrettes, visit their web page at our Etsy shop.

As for Lizards and Lollipops' Princess and Pirates launch, we made six braided ribbon barrettes altogether, which is three barrettes for girl pirate and three barrettes for princess. They are perfect for everyday wear and it also can be a part of your child's Halloween costume(s). "Pirates" and "Princess" barrettes are being sold separately. For more information, visit their shop links: 1) For girl pirates and 2) For princesses.

Camouflage is a new fashion trend for both children and adults. We have a lovely camouflage braided ribbon barrette (with three ribbons instead of two ribbons!) for you or your daughter to match your camouflage outfit. The colour of ribbons are cream, brown, and hunter green. This barrette was a part of Lizards and Lollipops' Camouflage launch a few weeks ago. You can view this barrette at our Etsy shop.
