Black and white elements on layouts and the chalkboard feel are major trends right now.  Raechelle's added a whimsical twist with a pop of color from our blue dyed doilies and a floral pattern paper. Our die cut mustaches coordinate with the lighthearted theme of her pictures. This layout "makes me happy" too!

We can't forget about our 400th blog post give away winner.  Congratulations to Larista Rulel.  Be sure to contact at us at curtseyboutique@gmail.com to claim your prize!

Shabby Chic Headband and Giveaway Winner

Shabby Chic Headband with Fancy Blooms from the Curtsey Boutique

I found a great dress on the clearance rack at Target today!  I love it when that happens.  I threw together this matching headband using an ivory fancy bloom and elastic from the shop, plus a bit of lace, feathers and trim I had lying about. It took only a few minutes, and I think I will be making more to match other outfits.  The fancy blooms come in over 40 colors so there's sure to be one to match every occasion (and pair of shoes :) 

Fancy Blooms from the Curtsey Boutique

Fancy blooms can be found here in the shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/100269472/set-of-4-medium-25-3-inch-vintage

The winner from this week's giveaway was picked by random number generator (read here - my sister selected a number at random). The number was comment number 8.   Miriam Pranter please contact me at with your email address so I can send you the details!

We'll do another giveaway at 200 hundred sales (so soon!)

Have a lovely weekend,

Gift Certificate Giveaway and Freckled Fawn Kits

Curtsey Boutique Paper Bows and Rosettes in Freckled Fawn's June Kit

I am so thrilled with the warm reception the shop has been getting. Every wedding, baptism, birthday and graduation that my little products from the Curtsey Boutique participate in is just delightful experience for me. I love it when customers share pictures of brides wearing my hair flowers or layouts with my paper bows on them.

To celebrate our milestone of reaching over 100 sales (that happened a bit ago, but we are playing catch up!) and to share some exciting news we are giving away a $10.00 gift certificate to the shop. You can use the gift certificate towards merchandise and shipping. All you have to do is comment on this post.

To see what you can use the gift certificate on (which is everything in the shop) visit the Curtsey Boutique here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/curtseyboutique

The exciting news is that our paper bows and rosettes will be sold as part of the Freckled Fawn's Indie Kits! I am so honored and excited about this kit which contains items sold by artists like myself - one of a kind, from the heart and all hand made.  The picture at the top of the post is June's Kit which is available for sale starting today. Here is the link to the Freckled Fawn's blog: http://iamdoe.blogspot.com/ sharing more about the kits.

Here is the direct link to her shop homepage: http://freckledfawn.com/

In addition to her kits she has the most AMAZING inventory of washi tape including a weekly special which I love to snatch up whenever I can.

Thanks so much for all the support and don't forget to comment to enter. The  giveaway closes on Friday, June 22nd.
