Amanda of ACOriginals believes that fashion shouldn't be exclusive to the rich & that every woman has the right to feel FABULOUS on a budget. I couldn't agree more. In that spirit, check out this gorgeous (and budget-friendly!) headband in her shop. Adore it!..........
1. Tell us a little bit about your business, your art or your craft.
I've been a crafter since I was really young, my mom taught me to crochet when I was about 8 years old & ever since then I've looked for new ways to satisfy my crafting hunger. I've been designing and creating jewelry since I was about 10 years old, and I've been doing it professionally since 2005. I love making wearable art, it satisfies both my need to create & my love for beautiful accessories without digging too deeply in my pocketbook!
2. What three words best describe your products or services?
Fun, Fashionable & Affordable
3. What price range do your products fall in?
My products usually range between $5.00 and $15.00 depending on the time & materials involved... I really try to keep my prices reasonable. You can get a better idea of how I price my work by visiting my shop here.
4. What is the current "must-have" item in your shop?
The most popular item in my shop is definately my Hibiscus Blossom Hair Clips... they've gotten 80 views! Each clip features 2 full Hibiscus Blossoms, each edged in Shimmering Glitter to really catch the light & add that certain something extra that we all love!

5. What is your favorite place to shop?
My favorite place to shop (besides etsy of course!) is JoAnn's Fabric & Crafts... the nearest one to me is in Henderson, NV and I make the 3 hour trip every other month or so. Luckily my in-laws live there, so I have an excuse to go!!!
6. Is there a particular item on your personal shopping wish list that you're dying to have?
Wow, I can't really narrow my list down to just one item, but there are 2 that I'm absolutely in LOVE with!! The first is a GORGEOUS ribbon trimmed crinoline from porshesplace. I adore the fashions from the 40's & 50's and this crinoline would be a great additon to my wardrobe! The second item I'd love to own is an AMAZING retro-inspired halter dress from audreyandgrace. I'd layer the crinoline from porchesplace underneath it & go out dancing with my husband!!
7. What's the best advice anyone has given you (professionally or personally)?
I think the best advice anyone has ever given me is to never stop learning & never grow up!
