My New Venture: Fascinators

Today I had a massive allergy attack.  I had to double puff my inhaler because my asthma decided to go all wonky... One benadryl and two inhaler puffs later... I had made my very first batch of fascinators. (apparently I'm allergic to feathers)
I am fascinated with fascinators and I get to be very artistic.  I think of it as hair art.  So I've decided to make some to sell on Etsy.

Background:
First everyone should know that I have an affinity for England, or we can just call it obsession.  YES I was upset I didn't marry Prince William, but Harry is still available so I'm ok...for now at least.  Anyway I think my English affinity comes from my English relatives... My grandfather (great dad as I called him) was English and he was in the Royal Air force.  My Aunts apparently used to read tea leaves (I've never met them but I'll be looking them up when I pop across the pond).  I've just been drawn to this country, like something inside me just gravitates towards all things English.  Plus I love fashion, I literally wanted to go to boarding school in England just so I could wear the uniforms.  I went so far as to plan it all with my guidance counselor in 9th grade...(mom freaked and wouldn't send me) So I joined cheerleading instead, again for the cute outfits.  I once told one of my various English friends that I was Greek and English.  He replied "No you're not, I'm English, I was born in England" It was futile talking to him.
Next: the Royal wedding, I made my own fascinator bc "what was I going to wear to the wedding, on my couch at 4am in my jammies??"
I wore it to church and a few other places and people kept asking me to make them some so I finally listened and here I am making some right this very moment!

I am waiting for the rest of my millinery supplies to come in from England, Australia, and California so the pictures below are just the beginning!  In the next couple of weeks I will have a Facebook page, and Etsy store set up.

I call my fascinators whimsies.  That's what they used to be called way back when, today they are known as Fascinators.

Drum roll please! Presenting my new business! (feedback is always welcome)

Don't we all dream of that little piece of fairytale? Disney wrote about them, but why not experience it and take home your little piece of the pie? 

Royally inspired by your heart's desires!

CHEERS!

Fergie Ferg- Sarah Ferguson

Sarah Ferguson is the real Fergie, btw

Sarah Ferguson is doing a mini series on Oprah.  "Finding Sarah from Royalty to the real world" on OWN
It's definitely something to watch!

It's so beyond interesting listening to her story.  She is a name I've heard wrapped in scandal from the time I was a little girl.  Now she is telling her story in a riches to rags fashion.  I mean she literally microwaved a metal cup because she didn't know how to use microwaves!  She had four ladies in waiting...etc  It's Sarah freeing herself of her life's burdens and rebuilding her life.  Uplifting and motivational all at the same time.

I always find it enriching to see how people overcome adversity through introspection.  How can you hate someone who says "my bad" and then tries to fix it?

She asks "How do you get self worth"  it's disheartening and uplifting all at the same time.

She is a good person, a people person, and she was destroyed by the media etc.  Watching the tears well up in her eyes as she openly searches for love and acceptance from anyone makes my heart feel for her.

After all, aren't we all searching for love, acceptance & our place in the world?

CHEERS!
