Patient Blooms

January 24, 2017

Let’s get our hands dirty in the white Minnesota snow with natural winter beauty and blooming bulbs (and I’m not talking about the burned out bathroom bulbs). As winter interest has a place in my home so in my home has it been an interesting winter. Read on to see just a slice of my recent life through the eyes of an apple seed (or two) – it may just be what the doctor ordered.

Outfit#1: Wool Worth It

January 16, 2017

img_2786

 

When it comes to outdoors, I’m a stickler at making the most of every season right down to accessorizing and bringing the outdoors in (…more on those winter-interest cuttings later). As my family knows, I have plenty of coats, scarves, mittens and of course, hats. So how do I no-brainer accessorize when heading out the door in a Minnesota winter with negative wind chills? Glad you asked! Here’s a quick peek from last week out in the yard, of course with our dog, Maple.

I’ve got you covered with Ready to Ship Hats
So, you’re a last minute shopper as am I, and you’re thinking it’s darn cold, the snow storm is bearing down on 1/2 the doggon country and quite frankly your comfies are so comfy that you just can’t even….I’m feeling you.  Experiencing a hat from Bound to be Creative may be just the thing that puts an extra snowflake on your tongue this Holiday Season especially for that hard-to-buy-for-person on your list. Let’s be real people, Christmas is like in 10 days, right?

Permission to be last minute
Be kind to yourself this Holiday Season and accept the you may be just a last minute person, I understand busy, crazy lives and remember those comfies?….it’s okay, I won’t tell if you don’t.  If you didn’t get a chance to experience the Patches Hat at one of my shows – no worries, I have two left in Medium sizes. They certainly were a hit at the four shows I did this season.

Ready to Ship Hats are available right now in the shop.  See all the styles and colors right here! And don’t fret if you don’t know your friends or moms hat size – Gift Certificates Available! Find hat sizing/head measuring guide is here.

Valentine’s Day Printable!

January 14, 2017

Let’s get V-day crafty!  Sooo, it’s that time of year again when all the reds, purples, whites, pinks (blah, blah, blah) colors make their abrupt appearance onto my tables (notice ‘tables’ is plural?). Ahhh, yes, crafty love is in the air – and the table and floor and on doors and in the living room and windows…at least at my house anyways.

Gift Certificates Now Available!

October 19, 2016

Hmmm…what size is she?!
I hear it all the time, “I have a friend who loves hats, but I don’t know her size”  or “my sister loves hats, but I don’t know what color she would like.”  I understand that feeling of really wanting to give something special, but also not wanting to mess it up!  Bound to be Creative hears ya loud and clear and now offers Gift Certificates! Giving your girl-pal a gift doesn’t have to be hard or stressful. A Gift Certificate to a custom made cloche hat (pronounced “clawsh”…trust me, I Googled it) and HIP Mini’s in my shop allows your mom to choose her own lovely reversible hat (or fleece hat!) and your niece to drool over her own  HIP Mini colors!

An Experience
Does your person need the full-on treatment to see fabrics and get their head measured?  I take home-studio visits by appointment.  Head measurements, a delish array of fabrics to choose from and personal consult on colors and styles just for them.  I’ll have the piano music playing and coffee brewing 😉

For the perfect way to earn the title “BFF” go to www.boundtobereative.etsy.com and get your Gift Certificate today!

Why I re-branded

October 19, 2016

website-social-media

My story of re-branding is more than just a new look. It’s a story of passion for hats, passion for my customers and whole heck a lot of drive. Although I work in the downstairs level our home….there’s something about being connected to all that’s around me.  Yes, my space is beautiful, bright and effecient and it totally rocks, but it’s so much more than a space.
