This morning, after running some errands (i give huge props to myself on this one for having on makeup and real clothes before noon), I checked the mail as I pulled into the driveway and was so excited when I found a little package fromhello dearie in my mailbox! My friend Dawn in Mississippi is one of the owners and creative brains behind hello dearie, and they make some of the most adorable things you have ever seen, from hair accessories and cloth dolls to superhero capes and funky pillows.

When I saw these headbands she's been making, I just had to place my order! Dawn did a great job - I gave her a basic color scheme and she created this beauty. Really... who can resist a good summer fashion accessory like this?!

On a bit of a sidenote, wouldn't this headband be PERFECT as a bridesmaid's gift or even for a barn/farm engagement session?! Especially as a clip with a birdcage veil for you vintage country brides... I'm in love with the idea.

... and aren't their business cards just precious?! I am assuming they are Lucky Luxe (Dawn - please correct me if I'm wrong) - another great business in my hometown. All you brides out there looking for some really classy, one-of-a-kind letterpress invitations, check them out! I don't know the owner personally, but I've seen her work and it is OUTSTANDING.

Seriously though - check out hello dearie on Etsy and head on over to Dawn's blog! I promise you'll be glad you did!
