I Hear Ya..I Hear Ya...Where Do I Get Those Bodacious Bows?

Yes, it's TRUE....I have a LOVE for the BOW!!! I totally heart BOWS on ALL of my girls!! I've gotten more comments and emails lately saying, "WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE BOWS?" So, I realized I must STOP and DO A POST on BOWS....AND Where I Get Them.....So here goes: So, I literally picked LL up at Hannah's Hope...went straight back to the hotel...and I had a stash of bows waiting in my suitcase for EVERY outfit I packed!!! It was so much fun!!! I bought my original bows from "Once Upon A Child" !! This is a chain store and they are pretty much across the country. Most of the bows say "Rachels Ribbons" on them...but I do think they have more than ONE person making them since there are many designs to choose from!! They are inexpensive and I buy MOST of them STILL today from Once Upon A Child!!! You can find their website by going to www.onceuponachild.com

Now (pictured above), I've gotten a little crazier and even MORE bodacious with my bows lately...I found they come even bigger and better! And, yes...the BIGGER THE BETTER on LL's head!! So, this may be a southern, Nashville thing...but I LOVE something large and obnoxious on her head!!! :) I found these BIGGER bows by visiting a local store called "Divas and Dudes"!!! And, the girl inside the store making these LARGE head wraps has a website...

Are Ya Ready?? Here it is: www.whimsybykrista.com I looked at the site but didn't even see the same ones she has in the store...So I'm guessing she is special ordering them too!! She told me to send her some pics of LL so she could use them on her site...Will hopefully remember to do that!! :)

We wear bows when grocery shopping......


We wear bows on the softball field:

We wear bows while at the creek:

We wear bows (or large flowers) while eating:

And, just to show ya that this DIDN'T start with LL...I've ALWAYS put bows in my girls hair since the day they were born....My girls now DON'T want bows...but they do like flowers now...so we compromise on it...but their hair still gets done daily by MOM!! :) (picture below from our days waiting on LL to get home...ages 6, 4, 3 and 1)

We even wear bows when we're tired and wet:

And...we even wear bows at the beach:

So...do yall want to see all the CRAZY bows?? I put some out on my hubby's side of the bathroom so you could see them all:

Why didn't I use MY side of the bathroom?? Well...cause it always looks like this:

Yes, my hubby is much neater than I am...BUT he doesn't have to keep up with all the hair products and bows and ribbons like I do :)

**Someone asked me to TELL or EXPLAIN where I keep them all....Well...I am NOT organized at all...I mean...not an organized bone in this body...so they are just EVERYWHERE all over MY side of the counter...The hubby already came in a minute ago and asked me WHY the bows were all over his side of the bathroom...I said, "Ummmm, cause I'm doing a blog post about bows!! " Not sure he appreciates HOW important this post is to the blog world!! :) LOL
So, yes, you'll find baskets and boxes and drawers full of bows at all times on MY SIDE....but they are never neat or organized...just thrown in and I grab one when I need it!! :)

Ok, so one more pic of the bow collection....and the hubby already threw them all over BACK ON MY SIDE...so they aren't so neatly displayed anymore!! :) OH, well...they looked good for a minute!! :)

So, that's it!! I have bought one bow at Walmart before..I found one at Target before...but the majority come from Once Upon A Child...and the BIGGER BETTER ones come from Krista at www.whimsybykrista.com !!

**Hope this answers ALL your questions about bows...My mom thinks I'm squeezing her brain in...but hey...she'll look cute with a squished brain!! :)

Happy Wednesday to you all, kj
