I have never posted a picture of myself on this site before. I’m shy like that. In fact in a few days (or maybe in a few hours) you might return to this site and the photo will be removed—because, like I said, I’m shy like that.
But for now I have decided to post a picture of myself. Why? Because I received a package from the very talented Crystal B. the other day and inside was a yo-yo (a yo-yo being a very cute headband). I showed my friend the yo-yo and she asked, “When you wear the yo-yo, will you please take a picture of yourself wearing it and send it to me so I will know how to wear it?”
“Sure,” I replied.
So with no further ado.
Here is the yo-yo from an aerial view:
And not only am I wearing a yo-yo in the above photo, but I also have on another piece from Crystal B. I am wearing a lovely double-chained necklace from her shoppe. It is one of my favorites. The blue brightens most any outfit I wear. And I love the little birds which are holding the strand of blue flowers. Very vintage and fun.
Okay, enough about me. Rather, let's focus on Crystal B. and her gorgeous jewelry! Here are just a few more favorites (and by a few I mean several because there are just too many to choose from):
Dainty little gems aren't they?
I happen to own this "queen bee" bracelet and I just adore it. It really is so unique and it is the most perfect shade of pretty pink
Aren't these bobbi pins just fun and whimsical?
This vintage brass carousel actually has horses that turn, so cute.
Oh, Crystal B., how we love your jewelry!

Kalyne Nicholes: My hair is a short inverted bob that is dark blonde. I like it and so does everyone else, I'm just about ready for a change though.
Cirina Hassler: My hair is dark brown, short and a subtle A-line cut. I love it! I originally did it so my 5 month old baby can't pull my hair so easily! :)
Ash Hilton: Dark brown and very long, I'm currently in-between donations.
Pamela Hines Powell: OH my hair! It's changing all the time, but now I'm working on a sleek bob, dark brown, with sideswept bangs. At least, that's how it is THIS week!

Facebook done!
Emily Wilson-I just cut my hair super short and I'm not a huge fan. I think I do better with shoulder length. Two good things about this new do 1) I can wear headbands for the first time since elementary school and 2) there's less hair for my son to grab onto. :)
Emily Wilson-changed the old facebook status

Celeste Olsen
Janet Holm
Celeste Olsen: My hair is about shoulder length and is dirty blond with layers.

Megan Grant
Robyn Charbonneau: My hair is below my shoulders, dark brown and curly (OK - it's curly now, but it depends on the length, season and weather). I like it now because I can wash it and go. I like to experiment with it and wear little clips etc. now and again.

Megan Grant: I love the necklace you showcased with the bees, and all of the cute flower earrings!

Liz Woolley. I would love any of the Vintage Bobbi Pins, but especially the owl bobbi pins. i simply adore owls.
Lindsey Hubert: My hair is very dark brown and it is cut in an A-line a few inched above my shoulders. I LOVE this style. It is so easy and flattering. It's been the only style I've ever asked for repeatedly!
Rachel Chamberlain: My hair is medium brown and cut in a short a-line. It's naturally dark blond and I've been coloring it dark brown, but with a baby on the way, I do NOT want to spend 4 hours in a salon every 4 weeks getting it touched up. -So I'm slowly lightening it to get back to my natural.
Michelle Michaels--My hair is in an akward growing out stage. I cut off about eight inches last year and donated it to Pantene (wigs made for women with cancer). Had a cute short style for a bit but has been neglected for awhile.
Liz Woolley. My hair is medium length, naturally brown and straight. It's been pretty much the same since 9th grade, but I like it that way. I've never dyed it or done anything radical to it, but I recently discovered my love for hair accessories so this contest is pretty cool.
