A Wonderful Holiday GIVEAWAY!


Just in time for Christmas, I am very excited to
announce a giveaway!

If you have a daughter, niece, friend, or love to wear pretty accessories in your hair yourself,
you are sure to find something you love!
The Etsian behind Ellies Pretty Things is Olga,
who lives in Sydney, Australia.
Ellies Pretty Things is inspired by Olga's daughter Ellie.  Ellie was born with a full head of hair and from the time she was a little baby she would let Olga put it back for her. She is a real girly girl and Olga has always been quite creative so she started making clips for her. Ellie is very into her pretties!  Other people began asking about them and it started from there!
What I like about the items that she makes is that she doesn't ever make a lot of anything. Her pieces are either OOAK or very small runs. Olga likes the whole ethos of hand making items. She tries to use local suppliers where she can and smaller suppliers if she can't get local. She is a big fan of supporting WAHP or parents like her who work and create in their "down time", what ever that means when you have an 18 month old!

One lucky reader will win a $30 (USD) gift certificate to Olga's shop!!!
