I just popped onto your sight today after making the fabric braided headbands. I have worn them for 2 days, have been stopped 100 times with compliments and am making 3 for friends. I think that your headbands are the new trend or summer :-)
I love your sight!!

I really have trouble naming trends - I set my own ones :-)
