Brielle's Notions

Pirate Cuff Winner!

Greetings,

Today I randomly selected the winner for the "win a pirate wrist cuff giveaway".

Now I wanted to do this the old fashioned way.

So I wrote all your names and entries down on pieces of paper and placed them in my Mad Hatter Hat...

...closed my eyes and selected the winning name......

Congrats to Adrienne!!

Here is her comment and costume idea....

Adrienne, I shall need you  to contact me by April 1oth at midnight (Tuesday) Or I shall have to choose a new winner. Please send me an e-mail at briellecostumes (at) yahoo (dot) com. This way I can ask you what size you need and your shipping address! 

Great idea on the costumes. Buttercup's Red Riding Dress is so classic!

 

Thank you all for entering! Just a side note this was really hard! I wish I could send wrist cuffs to all of you who entered.

However, I will be doing another giveaway soon.

The Etsy Shop will be restocked this week with Pirate Cuffs. I shall post about all the new styles this week. (more color selections too!)

 _________________________________________________________

Thank you all SOOO much for your Costume Ideas and Suggestions.

Surprisingly many of you mentioned the costumes from "Penelope". Ever After was also a close runner up for ideas.

Many of the ideas will be ending up on "Movie Costume Monday Posts". Or who knows...I might make some of them into real garments as well!

 

Have a magical day,

Greetings,

I thought it was about time I had a giveaway contest on this blog for my readers!

These pirate cuffs have been rather popular with the up coming summer season. So I wanted to offer a chance for one of my readers to win a cuff as well.

I shall make a custom one just for you based upon your wrist measurement.

Each cuff is unique and one of a kind.

All cuffs feature a "Tia Dalma Costume" inspired color scheme.

Win an elvish hair clip!

Greetings,

Today I wanted to share a quick post about a giveway I read about over at True Femininity 

*** You can enter the give-a-way here ***

The hair clips are just lovely, my favorite style is this one because it reminds me of the elves in Lord of the Rings. Don't you think it would be perfect for wearing in Rivendel?

You can see some lovely hair styles and how-to's on her blog here

Thanks for reading!

I've been published!

Well....my gloves have been published anyway.

Looks like my little alice in wonderland kids gloves have been featured in Parenting Magazine  "Glee Fashion: Back to School" photoshoot. ah!! I was rather excited, to say the least.

Here is how it looks on the website...

 
You can see the outfit from the shoot here or it is in the September issue of the Magazine.

I thought I would take a few pictures of the magazine for you to see. 

 
What do you think? Isn't the model cute?

Here is the shopping guide with my etsy shop address in the magazine.

 

 Here is another shot of how the little gloves looked on another spread of the page.

 

Thanks for reading!

If you are interested in your own pair of Alice in Wonderland Gloves, for kids or adults... please visit my Etsy Shop.

 

18th Century Shoe GIVEAWAY!

Greetings,

I just heard about this lovely giveaway. So I thought I would post about it to let you all in on it as well. Who knows, these shoes might end up to be yours.

 
I was trying to think of what kind of gown I would make to go with them if I had my own pair of 18th century shoes.

They reminded me of shoes Marguerite St.Just would wear in the Scarlet Pimpernel. My favorite version of that story is the one starring Jane Seymour. She is so pretty and her costumes are just stunning.

"They seek him here,

They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere,

 Is he is heaven?

Or is he in hell?

That demmed elusive pimpernel."
