Drooz Studio Sweet Wallhanging

Posted by on Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Drooz Studio Sweet Wallhanging $162.00

Visions of cupcakes! This is heirloom quality artwork that will delight your children and their children for years to come. Wall hangings are the perfect alternative to a mural painted directly onto the wall. These large scale canvas hangings are easy to hang, are cost-effective and can easily be moved. Each wall hanging has a folded sleeve at the top and can be hung using the provided wooden dowel or your own hardware. Best of all, your painting can be loosely rolled in or around a tube and kept in a cool dry place until the next generation is ready to fall in love with it. A ribbon and wooden dowel rod are included for hanging.

Each painting is an original and is designed and signed and dated by the artist Shelly Kennedy in her studio. No two paintings are exactly alike because each is created just for you. Their strong visual impact and unique custom feel makes it a wonderful addition to a new nursery, a child’s bedroom, or the family play area.

Available at Baby Browns.

The VANILLA CUPCAKE PRINCESS 4 piece Halloween costume

Posted by on Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

The VANILLA CUPCAKE PRINCESS 4 piece Halloween costume Currently on sale for $42.00

Have you ever wondered where the real sweetness and uniqueness comes from in each cupcake. When ever you leave your cupcakes alone, the cupcake princess appears and gives each cupcake its extra little touch and sweetness. She is so pretty.

This beautiful set was made with love and great detail. The tutu is a tutu halter halter dress with a added cherry on top! The tulle is top quality and soft and made with 150 yards of tulle. The tulle was made on an elastic band. The cherry has added sparkle for that extra pretty touch. The ribbon on the halter dress is a pretty pink satin. Attention to detail was placed in this entire set.

The headband can be made with a small, medium or large (as shown) cupcake size. The cupcake can also be added to a cotton head band if you would like. The cupcake is made of felt with cotton stuffing and a very thin cardboard so the cupcake is light and will not be top heavy. Sprinkles were sewn in with cotton thread, and a red cherry button was sewed on for the perfect touch. Fabric sparkle was placed all over the cupcake. Swarovski crystals were added and hotfixed on.

The wand was made of felt and the same details were added as the headband!

The set comes with cream or pink tights (your choice).

Available at Skeeter Bug Bows N More.
