Little Owl's 1st Birthday

I LOVE OWLS! I've done owl projects from patchwork to plushies, fascinators, sequins and now masks. So you can imagine how excited I was when I heard that my cousin will be throwing an owl-themed party for her little Olivia.  I just had a hoot working on this one!

I love the theme.  I felt sad knowing the fate of the poor little owl pinata though.

Liv's handmade felt hoot headband by Bonne.

Lovely little Liv.

I was told the owl masks were a hit at the photobooth :)

My uncle and his 3 precious owls :)

So much pun!

My contribution to Tahanan Books' "I am Herewith Enclose"-- a collection of puns, grammatical gaffs  and idiomatic expressions said in true Pinoy fashion.  "Thanks and advanced!" LOL:)

Wedding Essentials Feature

So happy to be on a full page spread of the  massive Wedding Essentials JUL_DEC 2011 issue -- 350 pages of pure wedding inspiration.

Ballerina Bonne

Drawn today by my co-worker, Omar Risulmi.  He says it's just scratch paper.

I think it's pretty and should be framed:)

Tea Party!

A little lady turned one last weekend.
Baby Maya had a lovely tea party and wore a pearl headband 

with cotton-candy inspired applique, silver french netting and white feathers.

"Let them eat cake!"

THE FAB TURBAN

VOGUE 70'S

The turban was popularized as a fashion accessory during the and 40's by glamorous hollywood celebrities.  It made a comeback in the 70's and in 2007, Prada reintroduced the turban on the runway.  For Spring/Summer 2011 it has made another comeback,  sashaying on the runway of designers like Jason Wu and Bianca Jagger.

Perfect for bad hair days, windy days and rainy days. Keep your locks in perfect place by slipping this over lightly tousled hair or while donning a ponytail.  To add a touch of glamour, wear it with a pretty brooch pinned to the front band.
