Simply Leilani: Hina Matsuri and more barrettes

Hina Matsuri and more barrettes

Girls' Day (or Hina Matsuri) was on Tuesday. Here are the obligatory pictures of the baby in her chan chan ko (a vest that resembles a kimono) with a doll which was a gift from her great-grandparents... and a Hello Kitty in a kimono from Mom.

And then the obligatory pictures of the braided ribbon barrette made as Girls' Day gifts... one for a 2 year old who gave us a huge bag of awesome hand me downs, and one for a 3 year old whose parents often babysit.

Once I finish the 22 barrette custom order, I'll be adding braided ribbon barrettes to the Etsy store. :) Fun times!

A Blurb About Me

Life is hectic. As you can read, in addition to designing jewelry, I'm a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and I like to bake. :)

I also like to write, hence the blog (and it's lack of focus on jewelry.) Here, you'll find bits and pieces of what it's like to be a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and maybe some of the yummy things I make around here.

As for the jewelry, my creations rely on a variety of mixed media and techniques ranging from traditional Japanese arts, silversmithing, and plain old trial and error to produce beach inspired artisan jewelry. All designs are original and produced as one of a kind or as part of very limited edition runs. You can see them below or visit my Etsy store.

Of course, you can always leave a comment, like Simply Leilani on facebook, or subscribe to the blog for free! (You don't have to buy anything from me to be my friend, I promise!)
