A sale!

I'm running a sale on a few Ménagerie headbands right now through the MINe Shop!

Check it out RIGHT HERE!

There's a limited number of each of the four styles available so hurry hurry! Thanks for supporting me! :)

Hello!

You might possibly notice some changes around here... An Experiment in Poverty exists no longer. Now this blog is called avec la fleur, and I'm pretty happy about it! I needed a change to get me excited about blogging again. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll probably recognize the name. I got it from an old French teacher of mine. On the first day of class, I had a big, giant flower in my hair, and he referred to me as "jasmine avec la fleur." I liked it. I took it. It stuck. I think it's appropriate for me, especially with a name like Jasmine.

Anyway, the blog got a new name and a bit of a facelift. I've got one of those fancy Instagram galleries in my sidebar to the left and a link to our shop in the sidebar to the right. Ménagerie also got a little bit of sprucing up. I re-photographed some listings and added some new headbands. Cecily did a little bit of modeling for me:





She's an excellent model. You can check it all out here.

And that's about it! I think I'm finally ready to start blogging a bit more now instead of only sticking to my 52 project posts and my monthly Cecily updates. Feel free to update my URL in your bookmarks. It's aveclafleur.com. You can also continue using the old URL since it will redirect you.

Here's to change!

I like pretty things.

I love putting headbands on Cecily. She just looks so darn cute in them!! But I'm kind of picky about her headbands. I don't like anything too big... 'cause she's not big. She's little. There are some really cute headbands out there that are on the smaller side but not a lot. So I started making my own!

And it just so happens that I really like making them, so, with some encouragement from my Instagram friends, I decided to put some in my Etsy shop!

Check them out (and buy one for your sweet little girl) here!

Shop Ménagerie!

Levi and I have been wanting to open an Etsy shop for about a year now, and we FINALLY did it!

You can find Ménagerie here and follow our tweets here.

Our banner and products shots need some work, but we just wanted to finally open this dang thing so we figured it didn't need to be perfect (we two are perfectionists... that's why projects like this take us so long).

All the drawings we're selling right now are originals by Levi with some help from yours truly. We'll be offering prints in the future at which point, the originals will increase in price. So get 'em while they're cheap!

I hope you like Ménagerie!
