Shop Miss happ online!

My little Etsy store has been going for just 2 years and sales have climbed steadily which is exciting and very encouraging!

I started off with only my Rockabilly and pin up style clothing, but eventually branched out into hair accessories, bandanas, jewellery and now I make rocking printed handbags too! I also do a small collection of cushions and coffee table coasters for the home, so my little Etsy store really has almost EVERYTHING for a Rockabilly girl!

I still have a very small set up with me making the jewellery and accessories, and my (one) seamstress sewing up all the clothing & hats that I myself design. It got to the stage where I literally couldn't keep up with the demand, so now I also have an assistant who works with us 3 days a week to help streamline everything.

Because I am a little self-funded, self run business, all my items are either one-offs, or with the clothing, are usually 1 of sometimes 5 or 6 items which makes the range a very unique designer range indeed.

Sometimes I am also able to make kustom pieces too which is always exciting and very gratifying. We have done a few wedding hair accessories as well as cute shoe bow clips for a bride and her bridal party..to Rockabilly dresses and birthday presents for deserving girlfriends!

I try and do as many markets and shows that are specifically related to what Miss Happ is all about, with the most recent one being Horrorfest which was so much fun. I even got to dress up on the final closing night of the festival when we attended an Audience participation Rocky horror Movie screening. My BEST!

So, if you love what I do and what Miss Happ is all about make sure you check us out..

Helpful tips: how to revive tired silk flowers

So this week end we went to an amazing wedding, so when trying to decide what I should wear I went through my box of silk flowers to see what I could add to my hair do on the day. Except my flowers looked like they need some TLC! I am a planner so no detail goes untouched (excuse the flying hair it was so windy!!)

Years ago my granny (on seeing that I loved wearing flowers in my hair!) shared with me a little tip on how to revive silk flowers so that they look fresh and perfect for your hair-do - and especially so that you don't look like you have been traveling on a cramped bus for hours!!  It's a simple little trick that they used to do as young ladies in the 40's and later in the 50's and 60's (has flower wearing ever gone out of style? ok, maybe in the disco 80's..!!) read below as told to me by my Gran...

I have some stunning flowers in my Miss Happ shop currently too, so if you want to give it a go, click on the pic you like and voila! it's yours ;)

 Till next time!
