Featured Etsy Designer -- Hailey of Shop Brydferth plus a giveaway!

Hailey of Shop Brydferth (welsh for beautiful) is one of the sweetest gals we have worked with at cupcakeMAG. Hailey's passion for her shop shines through and we are thrilled to share our chat with all of you! Her shop is filled with plenty of beautifil one-of-a-kind creations we are just lusting after. You will instantly fall in love with the sweetness. 

 {1} What made you begin your shop?

I have always loved fabric.  I get this feeling of excitement when I walk in a fabric store and my mind races with ideas.  I decided I had to find something to make using fabric.  My middle name is Rose, after my Grandmother and like my Grandmother, I've always loved roses.  So I put the two together and started Shop Brydferth.

{2} What are some of your other favorite Etsy shops?  

There are so many wonderful shops on Etsy with such amazing sellers and crafters behind them.  Some of my favorites are:

{Her embroidery work amazes me}

{3} What is your favorite item currently in your shop?

I really like my wedding pieces and my couture statement bib necklaces like this one. I love the idea of having the secret pocket on the back to stash that secret money for "just in case" or for those nights out when you don't want to carry a purse.  

{4} What is up next for you?  

I have so many ideas that I dream up constantly.  Right now I am feeling that I need to do more for bridal pieces.  Best thing is to just keep checking back as my designs are always improving and the inspirations are endless.  I like to work as the inspiration moves me at that time and on that day.

Chic Babes: Sweet Little Sprinklings

Over the past few weeks we have tried & tested many different hair accessories in our little one’s locks. After being sick of losing barrettes and hair pulling clips we ventured out to find the perfect match.

Bugalug is the perfect STAY-PUT accessories for the Urban Girl. Unlike other STAY-PUT hair accessories these stay in without giving your sweet cheeks a headache especially the fully adjustable headbands ($8) which us chic-momma’s can wear too! We adore the no slip bows ($5) to add extra sweetness and the grosgrain ribbon barrettes ($4) in just too fun patterns and prints! The newly launched 3 pack of Pony Loops ($10) are perfect for pony tails (and a cinch to use too!). Don’t forget to check out the Soother Clips ($10) for the tiny tots in your life. The multifunctional clip is perfectly chic to hold the lovey; whether it is a pacifier, toy or Sippy cup.

All of Bugalugs high quality hair accessories are innovative, unique and one-of-a-kind for every style that suits your little, or big girl in an array of fun colors, prints and patterns. It’s easy to express yourself with Bugalug!

As for Creative Clips by Colleen – well, you may have seen them around town or in your weeklies on celeb tots like Tori Spelling’s little one, Stella and Denise Richard’s girls. They are truly for your little oh so chic fashionista.

Colleen Connon, mother of 2, set out after an unsuccessful search for fun hair accessories for her daughter’s fine hair and well, became VERY successful as Creative Clips have became wildly popular. We currently are obsessed with the Blue & Green Peacock headband ($12) that even we can wear, not just our girls! We just can’t get enough of the girly sequin glitz and glam bows in a wide variety of colors and styles. And of course, we adore the Cupcake clips! All the clips feature Velcro to prevent the clip from slipping in fine hair. In fact, there is nothing we don’t like – we are craving all the oh so chic bows and just can’t get enough of these FAB hair accessories.
