Featuring.....US!!!!

We are sooooo thrilled to be a part of Simply Utah! They are an amazing website designed to showcase business and their products. We've heard such positive feedback from their members and are proud to now be a part of their site. Thanks to Lyndsay and Leslie for putting together such a wonderful showcase piece about our business. We hope you like what you see! Come on in and shop with us...we can't wait to create for you:)

We are so excited for the opportunity to show with Blooms and Ruffles this weekend. This boutique will take place in a beautiful home in South Jordan. You can go to www.bloomsandruffles.blogspot.com to view their blog and read more about the boutique, including showing times and location. We are limited on the number of items we can bring to this show, therefore we will only be featuring our best selling magnet boards and our one-of-a-kind Silly and Monster Dolls. Both of these items would make wonderful Christmas gifts! Start planning now, and we'll see you there!

My daughter started taking dance at a new studio (new to her) this year. Danz 4 Ever is located in Centerville, just over the freeway. The class sizes are small, making the teacher to student ratio perfect for tiny dancers. I love that the kids are being taught proper technique and style. Izzy adores her teacher, Miss Annie, and all the other 'Broadway Babies'. She is absolutely LOVING her experience there and we are excited for the years to come. Recently, the studio commissioned us to make them an extra large magnet board for the office. Brooke and I are beyond pleased at how it turned out! So fun.

I wanted to share with you the way we've been doing some of our more recent boutique set-ups. My husband Scott built us a chickenwire scrim that has come in soooo handy! Look at all the things we can display on it. The pictures shown here were from my aunt Michelle's in-home boutique a few weeks ago. Of all the 'home boutiques' we've done, we liked the set-up here the best. She has a lot of open space for displaying our fun stuff. Thanks Michelle!

Hey everyone! Brooke and I have been taking a bit of time off to regroup and gear up for our next round of shows. We have some DARLING Halloween tutu/onesie sets still in stock and new Thanksgiving and Christmas sets in the works....pictures to follow! This week we will be showing in Layton with a variety of vendors at an in-home boutique. Then we will be hopefully be in South Jordan showing with the Blooms and Ruffles Boutique. More info to come on both!

Country Barn Boutique

Hello Everyone! I wanted to let you know where we will be setting up shop this weekend. We feel very fortunate to have been accepted into the Country Barn Boutique located at 169 E. Mutton Hollow Road in Kaysville, Utah. All of the vendor slots had been previously filled, but at the last minute, we were called and asked to show with this wonderful boutique! We couldn't be happier. The Country Barn Boutique boasts over 50 vendors displaying a variety of items from woodwork to hand stitchery, jewelry to purses, baby items to handmade goodies. There is something for everyone. The boutique will be open Thursday and Friday, September 9th and 10th from 10-8 and Saturday the 11th from 9-5. We hope, if you get the chance, that you will take a minute to drive up and check out our booth. We have some darling Halloween onesie/tutu sets, leggings, and bumzies, in addition to our one-of-a-kind magnet boards, hair bows, handmade dolls, and clips. Now is the time to start shopping for the holidays and we feel certain that you can find something for everyone here at the Country Barn Boutique. See you soon!

Guess What!?!

Did I mention that our sister-in-law Megan makes the most fab-O headbands you've EVER seen? Well, it's true. The girls got a gift and style to boot. She's always up to date on the latest and greatest and the newest and coolest designs. From sass to chic, casual to elegant, she's got it all. And guess what? She'll be hosting Butterfly Wings and Tiny Things at her house THIS SATURDAY, where she'll also be selling her little gems! Again, the open house will be this Saturday, August 21st, from 11-5. Her address is 700 Clearwater Falls, Layton. Believe me...you don't want to miss out on this boutique! See you then!

Check Us Out!

And we're back! Don't we look and feel all professional now? Lauren, at Designer Blogs, gave our blog a MAJOR face lift and we couldn't be happier! She was so easy to work with, answered all emails and questions quickly and efficiently, and did not stop working on even the smallest details until we were absolutely satisfied. I would recommend the talented team at Designer Blogs for anyone out there needing a change in their blog. Thanks Lauren!

So, we've been gearing up for the past several weeks now in preparation for the International Dance Festival that will take place at the Bountiful Park this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (August 5th, 6th, and 7th) Butterfly Wings and Tiny Things will have a booth at the festival all three days! We are excited and fortunate to have this opportunity and pray for a good turn out in people and sales:) We've worked really hard and would LOVE to have you stop by. There will be over seventy booths this year filled with diverse and beautiful products, as well as food vendors selling food to represent all parts of the globe! Dancers will grace the stage and share their wonderful traditions with us. There will also be fun activities and games for children. Please stop by to support the festival and to support us:) See you then!

Lessons Learned

We learned a lot from our first booth experience at the Farmington Festival Days. I think the biggest shock came as we experienced first hand, how tiny a 10x10 space really is. We were jam packed into our little tent. Thankfully, with some crafty wood making skills by Scott, and some design expertise by Lisa, we were able to fit all our product into our small space. The day started off really slow, but by noon, things had picked up considerably. We had a great turn out from the hours between 12 and 4. And while many just came to browse the sites, several people did buy our items, and even more took our business cards. We are hopeful that the exposure we had from the sheer volume of Farmington-ites will pay off and that word of mouth will spread, bringing in more business for us. We also learned how very long the day passes when sitting out in the 95+ degree heat. The upside of this was the water weight Brooke and I lost that day! Next time, we'll be sure to come equipped with fans and/or water misters. And finally, I think we learned that this 'business stuff' is NOT for the faint of heart. It's hard work, it's long hours, it's let downs and criticism. However, the enjoyment we get from crafting together and the giddy feeling that comes when someone buys and LOVES our product, FAR outweighs the negative. I think we'll stick around for awhile yet...

Farmington Days

Hello All!
Tomorrow, July 10th, Butterfly Wings and Tiny Things will be setting up shop at the Farmington Days celebration. We are excited, and more than a little nervous, as this is our first 'booth' experience. We'll be there all day...11am til 10pm. Come on out, grab some food, listen to Colors perform, and visit our booth. Can't wait to see you there!

Boutiquing We Will Go...

Hello friends! It's that time again. We're on for our next boutique, this Saturday June 26, from 11-4. The boutique will be hosted by Brooke at her house, 224 Sienna Lane in Centerville. We have so many fun fourth of July accessories to dress you girls up in for the big celebration. And our selection of magnet boards has increased to include the new "Twilight Series" board...just in time for the big movie event on the 30th. Don't miss out on the fun! We'll see you there.

A Picture Paints A Thousand Words

Last week, despite the very UNWANTED visit from Hurricane Iva, our boutique went over rather well. We didn't have near the turn out we had hoped to have, but those amazing souls who did brave the weather to come to our showing, did not leave empty handed. I'm posting some pics of the very cool set up that my mother, with all her decorating experience, helped us accomplish. It was such a great thing, that we decided to leave it up for a week (yes, in my MOTHERS house...the goddess of cleanliness...) and put on another show this Saturday...that is, tomorrow! The boutique will run from 11-4, extended hours from the few previous boutiques we've had. The address is 1398 North 75 West in Centerville. We'd love to have all of our family and friends be there to support us as we get this business off of the ground. Trust me, you'll find something there for everyone. Thanks for the love and well wishes! See you tomorrow.

At Last...

We can't believe the day is finally at hand! In some ways it seems as though we've been preparing for an eternity for the big reveal. And in other ways, we can't beleive the day is finally here. Today has been the longest so far in terms of last minute details and organization. We've run ourselves, quite literally, into the ground. However, as you will hopefully be able to tell from the following pictures, the hard work paid off and everything looks amazing! Now if only people will come and buy, buy, buy tomorrow! We want to offer a HUGE thanks to our gracious hostess, Maria Sanchez, for offering her home and her talents for our opening boutique. No matter what happens, we are proud of ourselves and the work we've put in to our new business!

We will be done, and we will not dissapoint! Please come see us on Saturday between the hours of 10 and 3. (Click on the flyer on our Home Page to enlarge and read more about the up and coming boutique). See you there!

Just A Word

For all of our family and friends, any input you have would be greatly appreciated. Brooke and I think what we do is pretty amazing:), but we realize that everyone has different opinions and taste. Please, please, please, feel free to drop us a note and add your critiques or ideas for a better product. You are our customer, and we want to make you happy!

All In A Days Work

Welcome to Butterfly Wings and Tiny Things. This site is a process in the making. We will add and update products as we make and create new items. Thank you for your patience as we learn our way around this new business venture.
