Fleur-ettes! They're the knit flower barrette. Each barrette is hand knit. Laundered and then carefully stitched to a french barrette. I have been playing around with many style and colors of fiber. Currently all the Fleur-ettes are acrylic. Though in the coming weeks I will be diving into my wool, silk and a variety of blends. To the left you'll find just a small handful of my Fleur-ettes.
For Sale information please email the Painted Lady at paintedladycollective@yahoo.com or PaintedLadyCollective to be directed to my Facebook business page.

The Prices will vary depending on fiber used. Current Fleur-ettes shown range between $5.00 and $7.00...however the blue and green Fleur-ette has a special story and purpose.

About a week ago I met a little girl I won't ever forget. Her name is Lauren and this her story.
At 3 years old Lauren was diagnosed with a terrible, progressive disease called NeuroFibromatosis(NF) She is now 4 years old and through an MRI they've discovered a brain tumor. To read more about Lauren and NF check out my other blog (if you haven't already) From the Wife's Cup.
How does little Lauren have to do with Fleur-ettes? ...other than the fact that a Fleur-ette would look great in her beautiful hair.
The Sage and Blue variegated rose Fleur-ette is crafted in colors to support awareness of NF and are not for sale. Instead a donation minimum of $10.00 is being asked.
Let's all support Lauren! Donate for her and have fantastic Fleur-ettes for your children, your friend or even yourself!!
I also do custom fabrication.
