Hearts A Flutter Headband



This one of a kind handmade headband was inspired by beautiful wings of our earth... Layers of vintage woven's, gorgeous 70s gown lace, perfect silk petals, vintage lurex, semi precious stones and vintage glass beads make this piece beyond etherial!














Incandescent Dreams Headband

Dripping with glitter...
Covered in petals...
Armored in silver, bronze and rose gold metals...
Draped in fine silks spun round like a cacoon...
Layers of feather, fur and vines make me swoon...

Is a poem I wrote last year that inspired this one-of-a-kind handmade headband! Each vintage bead and layer of vintage silk, tulle and burlap were pieced together to create a magical whimsical look. 












Dusty Rose Headband

Rose gardens fill fairytales, Shakespearean Literature, our beautiful cities and family back yards... Roses are the archetype of beauty and elegance! This hand made piece was inspired by all of that beauty in all of those gardens... silk sheer petals, soft fuchsia chiffon are layered with vintage rose gold beads and faceted vintage semi precious stones and glass beads are all attached to a stretch soft gold headband...














Lantana Love Headband

Gardens all over Southern California are covered in perfect Lantana flowers... They are beautiful and delicate looking small flowers with strong and self sufficient roots... This one-of-a-kind headpiece was inspired by the beautiful and strong souled Lantana... Layers of chiffon, silk, tulle and stones are rooted to a soft burlap base and attached to a vibrant purple one-size-fits-all stretch headband.... The vintage bead love circles join together with semi-precious stone beads and 1950s faceted glass pieces...

You'll love!!!












Sea Foam Fairytales Headband

Every girl I have ever met has a soft spot for fairytales and the magical feeling you get sea side... This hand made one-of-a-kind headband was inspired by those feelings...

Pieces of soft green vintage chiffon laced with silver thread are layered on soft vintage burlap material...vintage 1950 glass beads and vintage stones cluster atop gorgeous pale glass seed beads....

This magical headband is a beautiful accent piece... you'll live for this!!!! 

Every piece donates a portion of the proceeds to Coach Art, a non profit that brings art and athletics through private and group coaching to children with life threatening illnesses!!!! An amazing group!!!!













Forever Feather Headband

Growing up wishing I was a child of the 60s my love for feathers and fringe never seamed to go away... Feathers give a feeling of hope, flight, escape, adventure... the true symbol of a free spirit... Layers of vintage pink chiffon, tulling, gauze, burlap, shaped semi-precious rose stone and pearl shine mini-sequins give a femme modern twist on the feather look! 












Driftwood and Dewdrops Kids

Over a year ago I started my accessories line Driftwood and Dewdrops for women and children. My handmade one of a kind originals were inspired by my personal bohemian chic style and my desire to create beautiful art from vintage and sustainable findings and fabric. 
Everything is made of materials found in flee markets, old design houses and vintage stores or dealers...Making the old new again is so magical and gives purpose to each and every piece in my line... 

With every purchase of the Driftwood and Dewdrops line a percentage is given to the non profit CoachArt, a program created to offer private art, dance, athletic, music and other lessons and group activities to children with life threatening and or terminal illnesses.
