And what, you may ask, did I come up with?! Wellll....
Because I have been getting the art room ready for the big first annual Mo'z Art Retreat, (please note we now have TWO tables in the art room!!), I had taken a mental inventory of the goodies spread far and wide. I chose FEATHERS!
The feathers in hair craze is ON here in Louisiana. For that reason, I had to go and buy lots of them. I took them to the office to do some volunteer feathering, and this is the inventory I had left over. The girls spread them on the table, and chose their colors. Then, we used glue and some metal findings I found at Hobby Lobby to cinch those suckers up and hang em on the ear wires!
I did try and combine the feathers with some fabric to make a super cute headband!
I have to pretend I don't like it all that much to get her to wear it.
And VOILA! Check out the earrings on Emma Lou, Claire, and Rachel!
Claire is ROCKIN' those feathers!
as is Rachel!
And so is my buddy, Emma Lou! 
Emma knows she can count on me to always let her shine when her friends are over with a new and exciting art activity!
Please note the matching big girl, little girl outfits on Ellie and Emma. That was Emma's gift to Ellie for her birthday. Talk about a happy kid!

You're so cool, Mo!
The matching outfits are adorable and I'm sure Ellie LOVED the idea.
I want to come play too! :)
Feathers are THE BEE'S KNEES here too! I just saw them at a shop on Saturday. Some of every color!! My 21yr old daughter loves them! Its amazing the trends that seems to pop up everywhere simultaneously! I have even seen them worn in the hair!
I had to laugh about you "not liking the hairband in order for Ellie to LIKE the headband" its the opposite here! That Ellie is a mess!! LOL!!!

feathers are huge here too. the girls must have had a blast making them. and ellie seems in her glory to be with them! where is gabby?
So funny how trends pop up in different areas at different times!! We have had the feather phase up here in MI for many months, and in fact it has kind of fizzled out up here. LOVE them turned into earrings ~ too cute for the kiddos! I noticed the matching shirts before you mentioned it, and was thinking how Ellie was diggin that!
Not sure what is is lately, but for the past few weeks, every time I look at the clock it says 11:11 or something:11, or it's a time that adds up to 11. Right now it's 3:26, which adds up to 11. When I wake up during the night it's always 1:11, 2:11 3:11, etc.. you get the picture. I never met Jake, only knew him through his website and yours, but maybe he met my big brother up there and is saying hi for him......lol I've been reading your blog for years but have been one of those lurkers you write about and have never written in. Maybe this is Jake's way of having me do that.....lol Not quite sure what it is.... but keep it coming !!!
