I love my Job!!!



Creating beautiful treasures for gorgeous women and men for a living is both fun and a lot of work. I love it!!! Featured here is a veiled hat with black and white feathers, gold chains, bird charms and blingin gears. All hand sewn with love and it was the perfect accessory to her white silk outfit by Gypsy Palace Couture (www.gypsypalace.com) on the runway. Thank you Dwan ( Dwanjabi.com ) for the beautiful photos.

I could only keep this precious hat for a week. It just got purchased yesterday at the Holidaze show here in SF. I am so happy when I tap into my creative well for the beauty of it and not thinking "will this sell?" This piece I just did it, I pulled up some inspiration in a dark period and this was born. Then I put it on display at the show not even knowing what I would sell it for. Up walked a stunning beauty making me an offer I couldn't refuse. She even said "This is the prettiest hat I have ever purchased, thank you". I am so honored to bring people joy and help them feel even more beautiful. I feel it was the heart and love I put into each stich that carried through and in essence ushered this hat to her proper home. One more reminder that following ones bliss pays off in many ways.
