Ever since having my two little girls, I've become addicted to baby/toddler hair accessories likes bows, headbands, flower clips, etc. In fact, it's gotten even worse since having girl #2 aka Ella Bella Butter Bean. I suppose there could be worse things to become addicted to, right?
Anyway, this obsession paired with my internet shopping addiction = a very dangerous place I visit often called www.etsy.com. It's like an online craft fair for the cutest boutique baby items ever. Including... you guessed it... hair accessories!
Here was my last purchase -two bows to match the girls' fall dresses for their most recent photo shoot (I will provide pictures later.) Oh, and then there's this little number to match the Gymboree Holland Days line that my girls have pieces from.
My latest bow obsession is the classic huge solid hair bow for Adelyn like the ones she wore yesterday and today (see pictures).So I bet some of you moms are wondering why I don't just give in and learn how to make the darn bows/headbands myself, right? Trust me- it's not like I don't have the website with bow-making instructions already bookmarked for future reference. I'd like to think that I've done my homework, though. I'm all about a good cost analysis. If I take into account the cost of supplies, the cost of my time (including a lot of perfectionism), and the low cost of the deals I find online (we're talking $2-$3 a bow people!)... it's really not at all worth it. You know- besides the hobby part. But if I do decide to take on a hobby of crafting baby boutique items, I'd like to find something that isn't so saturated already so the profit potential is much greater. (That's the business major in me talking.)
So there, I'm admitting that I am addicted to something so trivial as baby hair accessories while also admitting that I'm not willing to enter into a new hobby unless it makes/saves me $. :) Hey... at least I'm no longer in denial!
