What's new Pussycat?

Been a busy season at the boutique and I thought I'd share what's new, revamped, and totally FAbulous!
princessDoodleBeans Tutus were featured in Parenting Magazine Online, in MSN, and also the local newspaper, the Leelenau Enterprise!
I am enjoying the busyness of the season and adore making all these new and interesting creations. I swear I have the most creative customers on the planet! (And the most wonderful, of course!)

Enjoy browsing the new eye candy. it's <3 TUTU Fabulous! <3

Dance, Dance, Revolution!!

This is an absolutely Tutu FABulous spring! It's also a fabulous time to break out your favorite tutu and go tip-toeing (or tap-dancing) through the Tulips. *Like you need encouragement.*

The Boutique has been on a dance kick lately; selling Trashy tutus and Bella Modes like hotcakes to dancers all over the United States and Canada! And I am all too willing to create them.....

Procrastination Station

Okay,

So I know it's been 5 months since my last post. I know that you're all probably wondering if the Boutique fell off the face of the earth. I know that you've all called the police and filed a worried report and have put up fliers on every tree in Michigan calling for the return (with reward?) of PrincessDoodleBeans.

Well, maybe not that last one.

Rest assured, the Boutique and I are in very good condition. In fact the lack of communication is more a sign of EXTREME busyness and NOT of boredom!

I am currently in the middle (quite literally, at times) of creating 7 Bella Mode Ballet tutus for a studio in Canada. This is one of my first bulk orders and I'm relishing it. I've cut nearly 2,000 yards of tulle for this order alone! and other than my arms being like silly putty....there are no adverse affects. WEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEE! (Hmmmm)

This new year also has me completing my first wholesale order to a sweet baby boutique in Three Rivers, MI. named the Ambrosia Vae Baby Boutique.
I completed 4 "Knotty Girl" tutus and 10 "Fairy Fluff" wands in a rainbow of colors! I am so looking forward to a continuing relationship with the shop and owner! Thank You, Amber!!

Well,
I must get back to the enormous mountain of tulle in the studio. Haven't found a way for the tulle to tutu itself...which pretty much ensures I still have a job. Hee hee.
I will try to stay more on top of this blog thing so the Feds aren't called in next time.

Blessings to you all!

Etsy Front Page Magic*.*.*.

OMGOSH!!!

One of my items finally made it to Etsy's esteemed "Front Page". My Classic Formal Affair Tutu skirt was featured in a Treasury by Doyoufeelthescent titled Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne", and made it's wonderful way all the way to the top spot on Etsy. (To say that I'm "beyond stoked" would be the understatement of the year!!)

Thank you to all who gave their love to my sweet boutique. Here's to many more features and front pages.

"Cheers"

Update of the Month....

OMGOSH!!!!
It's been a whole entire month since I last ranted on here. Ok, a month and a day.
Time for some updates. I'll try to make this quick and painless.

Nicole Lynn was the winner of the custom Ultra Poof tutu on my Facebook give-away! She chose the colors Apple Green and Purple for her 4 year old daughters FREE tutu! Adorable.

I've been up to the tippy top of my head in custom orders lately! Not that I'm complaining...cause I'm NOT. I love that my quirky sweet FABulous boutique is taking off running. I'm running right behind it (in a trashy tutu, I might add.) I've completed a Ballet Style wedding tutu, a Classic Style wedding tutu, and created my first Reversible Ballet Style tutu for a customer in California. (now listed on Etsy) Then came a special birthday order for an awesome mom (Trashy Tutu) and her 4 year old daughter (Flower Power tutu set).

I'm currently working on three sweet streamer wands for a couple of flower girls and will begin creating a Red mid-length classic tutu for a local teen to model in a photo shoot next week! I'm thinking a modern re-take on Little Red Riding hood will be a perfect theme for this creative and poetic little lady.

Before I go back into the studio for more late night inspiration on this most festive Tutu Tuesday, I'll leave you with a little teaser of upcoming items that will be added to the Boutique in the near future...............................................................................................................................................................

are you still waiting?

How 'bout now??

Coming soon.... Custom bridal fascinators, veils, and hair clips. OOOOOH!!! I know. You just have to go out and scream it from a mountain-top now.

So long my sweets,
