On this week's
Shop Small Saturday Showcase, I have such an adorable shop to share with you all! I was at last year's
Patchwork show in Santa Ana for just a little bit, and on my way out I saw Blair of
A Little Delight packing away the cutest accessories! I knew it was closing time, but I asked if she would liked to be featured here. Lucky for us, she said yes!
I caught up with her and the family at Patchwork
this year and was reminded in person of how obsessed I am with everything she makes! Honestly, it will be pretty difficult for the winner of this week's giveaway to choose their favorite. It's a good thing then that for this week's giveaway, Blair is giving away
two bows to a lucky readers!
But first, check out the interview and some gorgeous photos courtesy of
A Little Delight!

Tell me a little bit about yourself!
HI! My name is Blair and I am the half owner, and (half) bow maker of A Little Delight. I am a wife to a handsome teacher, the momma of 2 sweet toddlers, a natural life loving vegetarian, coffee addict, glitter and confetti obsessed, tattooed crafter! And of course, am so passionate about my accessory business, A Little Delight!
We love handcrafting these high quality hair bows, picking out fun modern fabrics, and I absolutely LOVE making friends and chatting with shoppers at craft fairs/boutiques! But I definitely don't do this alone! My wonderful husband Sean does a ton of the work making bows, handles a lot of the social media side of the business, shipping, and takes care of all the Etsy shop back end stuff! We also have the most awesome shop assistant, Chloe. She helps with lots of important things, including packaging orders, prepping products, and wraps up those important loose ends! All together, we make a pretty fun team!
Where did the name of your store come from?
To be honest, it kinda just came to me. I wanted something fun and a little whimsical, and I liked that it gave us room to grow our product line. And really, who does not love a little delight in their lives?! ;)
Why did you start making goods for A Little Delight?
I have always loved making things, and when my daughter was born, I was SO excited about having a girl and finally being able to go crazy with accessories. Most of the bows I purchased for her would end up completely bent our of shape and not very wearable anymore. I also quickly noticed that there was a big need for some really fun modern prints out there! So I started making these sturdy, modern, perky little bows for her, that could also double as a baby bow tie for my son - and our signature lined bows were born! It did not take long for friends to want to buy some, and it really just took off from there.
What is your favorite item?
My favorite bow changes from day to day (I am always posting my "new favorite" on Instagram). We choose every print with a keen eye, looking for modern, fun, trendy fabrics, and we really do our best to not stray from that. So its so easy to just fall in love with each pattern all over again ALL the time! I have to say though, that I really love our modern floral and metallic prints right now!
