Latest and Greatest

I am excited and honored that www.mamasurfs.com has featured Cotton Candy for their weekly handmade holiday post! In addition to that the open house was a success and we have a couple more events coming up that will spread the sweetness of Cotton Candy throughout California. A second shop is now carrying Cotton Candy. Eureka fans go into to the Beauty Stop in Henderson Center to check us out and all the other amazing gifts available along with hair and beauty products.

My mom threw this together for me last week for a shop in her hometown and I just wanted to share my little original Sweet Pea as she was the inspiration for the first Cotton Candy creation. Thanks again Mom!

To Quote A Loyal Customer

I swiped this off Cotton Candy's Facebook fan page...

Sadie Warner Agueda the great thing about these is the headband part is actually made for adults but totally fit babies fine and doesnt leave a mark on their head when you take it off. also the flower is on a clip so you can remove and use in hair by itself or clip on a dress strap or on a different color headband.

Introduction

Well I think this is going to be longer than I thought, but I am so grateful for this opportunity to launch Cotton Candy that I have to do the introduction justice.

What began almost a year ago as a search for the perfect headband to match my daughters custom made Christmas dress, is now Cotton Candy. My humble attempt at creating a simple "flower" from the same fabric as her dress took a little longer than I thought. A few prototypes along the way and lots of practice and here we are.

With encouragement from friends and family I started to give headbands and clips to a few precious little girls. I have an incredible support system in my family. My sister in law volunteers to play with my kids to give me uniterrupted time and my husband stays up with me when I work late into the night. My mom is a multi-talented woman that has spent so much of her life teaching me attention to detail and about laboring in love in so many ways. Any skill or creativity I have is a reflection of the endless hours of sewing, school projects and, craftiness that she has poured into my life. I could fill a page with a list of all the things she has created or embellished for me, for one that custom Christmas dress for my daughter was made by her.

The addition of Cotton Candy has rounded out my life in a way that leaves me fulfilled and challenged, excited and grateful, and balanced and busy. I thought this was going to be my third baby, but life had other plans, because my third baby is due in March! The perfect surprise and blessing So with a very full home and heart, here it goes....
