Going on my jolly holiday :0)

I will be MIA from June 14th - June 20th. I am headed out on a much needed vacation to the beach...ahhhhhh! Any orders placed through my Etsy store or website will be attended to when I return. If you email me, please know that I will contact you as soon as I return.
So before I bid you all bon voyage,I thought I'd share a few photos of Cinderella from Simply a Princess line as well as My Fairy Friends, Silvermist preview...modeled pictures will be coming soon! Rosetta will debut shortly after. I had a nice influx of orders that needed attending to before I left for vacation that put my fairies on hold a bit ;0)
So have a great week everyone! While I am excited to have a break for a week you can be sure that I'll have my sketch book in tow while dreaming up new designs!

Every girl is a princess... right?

It's true what they say... every girl is a princess... including Alice!
I had this almost finished quite a while back when I was encouraged by one of my wonderful Ollie Girl customers to add Alice to the arsenal of the Simply a Princess© Collection. Of course there are plenty of others to add, and I will get to them as I have the time.
It's been a busy season preparing for everyone's trips to Disney, birthday parties and what not. You all know that I love it though! Even though I have sewn atleast 50 Snow White gowns, I can almost do it in my sleep now! ;0)
Even though we are just getting our toes wet with summer, I find myself looking forward to the fall season ahead. I have many designs I am hoping to debut and new renditions on my drawing board.

I am encouraging my customers and potential clients to think early for fall so I can have customs out to you by late September for you to enjoy it throughout the entire fall festivities.
I look forward to working with you all and appreciate your encouragement and friendship. Hugz, Angela

Look what "flew" my way today!

I have been anxiously awaiting the modeled pictures of my newest design, Iridessa for Ollie Girl's , My Fairy Friends Collection. I just knew the pictures would turn out great. I was excited about having images with more than one subject. I love seeing my designs come alive on my little models and customers. My mannequin works decently, but smiling little princesses give that much more life to my creations.
I naturally always gravitate to yellow... it's such a cheerful color! Iridessa is 2nd in the series of this collection. Stay tuned for Silvermist and Rosetta... coming soon!

Sneak peek of Iridessa and accessories

So, been working away here at Ollie Girl's Pixie Hollow;0)
These designs are officially off to my models... the dresses always look so much better on my little models!

Iridessa's dress is a vivid yellow tonal halter dress with a double sunflower petal peplum, shirred elastic back for a perfect fit, elastic ruffled shoulder straps and an option to have tulle or not!
Accessories to match this perfect pixie ensemble are cotton fabric fairy wings, flower fairy wand, watercolored fairy shoes and matchy flower hair bling. These fun add ons are a super sweet way to further accessorize your fairy creation.

So what fairy is next? Stay tuned, as more sneak peeks are on their way as well as the dress coming alive on a real little pixie! :0) Throughout this week!

What's a fairy without her footwear?

I am so excited to be debuting Tink's Fairy Friends very soon... Stay tuned!
In the meanwhile, in anticipation for the model shoot I decided to pair them with some made to match fairy footwear ;0) Each pair of soft satin slippers is "watercolored" for a tonal look to match each fairy's dress. Blingy flowers add the perfect finishing touch.
Please stay tuned as I will be sharing sneak peeks up until the grand debut,featuring our 4 new fairy friends. I can't wait to see the line modeled!
Thank you for stopping by today! :0) ~ Angela

FFA Fun

My daughter is actively involved in our local chapter of Future Farmers of America.
This past weekend she participated in a plant sale at her highschool. The community comes out and is able to purchase plants and produce that the High School students here raise as part of their Agricultural Science Elective classes.
My daughter raised some honey suckle plants as well as sold some fruit from our little organic orchard.
It was a beautiful day! I took a small tour of the Agriculture Department of her high school and taken back by all the beauty of the plants grown by her fellow classmates. The new green house was so exciting to see. My daughter helped lay the pipes for the new greenhouse during her class time. So exciting to see the end results!

Nothing like sibling support :0) ~ What a great day!

It's Wendy, Darling!

When a customer recently approached me asking me to design her an adult sized Wendy Costume, I was excited about the idea. I have sewn for my own children and self in the past in larger sizes, but this was going to be the first "Ollie Girl!" adult sized creation! My eldest daughter, has some striking resemblances to Wendy and immediately wanted one herself! She had so much fun doing her own hair for our little photo shoot. I think she did great! She is tickled to officially be an Ollie Girl! ;0)
