Let the facelift begin!
It has been a while since I announced that there would be some exciting changes coming to Love in Bloom Boutique, but things are finally happening! Some of my new pictures are to update older listings, but there are a few new items coming to my shop over the next several days as well, so be sure to check out all my new goodies.
Thank you so much to my models (you know who you are), and my wonderful photographer, Julie Baraichi! If you or someone you know are in the San Diego area, and are in need of a photographer, she would be a great choice. She can be found at http://juliebaraichiphotography.com and she is also on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Julie-Baraichi-Photography/105848066104855
I will also be transitioning to a more sustainable business model, so some of my prices will be going up. In a perfect world, I wouldn't need to do it, but things being what they are... it's a must. This will help to ensure that Love in Bloom Boutique is around for many happy years to come.
Keep it Crafty!

Bloom Town: Crafty La Mesa Mom Spins Dress Code into an Online Business

La Mesa mom Kristin Vent owns Love in Bloom, an Etsy store featuring girls' hair accessories.
Kristin Vent’s line of girls’ hair accessories was born out of necessity when she realized her daughter’s school, Christ Lutheran of La Mesa, requires hairpieces to be in school colors.
Kristin Vent’s line of girls’ hair accessories was born out of necessity when she realized her daughter’s school, Christ Lutheran of La Mesa, requires hairpieces to be in school colors.
“This is not entirely a bad thing, since I know she won’t be clashing with her uniform—as most kids will do if given a chance—but I had a bit of trouble finding age-appropriate items in red, white, black and gray. So I took matters into my own hands and started making them myself,” said Vent, a mom of three who moved to La Mesa from Julian nine years ago.
After discovering she had a talent for hairy situations, stay-at-home mom Vent struck out on her own with her Love in Bloom Etsy site. Vent has been selling her accessories since last fall and hopes to expand her business by offering tutus and matching bows in the coming weeks. She’s also planning a line of kids jewelry this fall.
“I came up with the name Love in Bloom as a result of the many different ways I saw God working in my life over the past year,” said Vent, quoting John with “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.”
“I have changed quite a bit in the last year, primarily because this truth finally made its way into my heart. I see so many new possibilities in my life and feel quite a bit like I’m really blooming as a person for the first time.”
Love in Bloom is, well, blooming.
Oma’s Dairy Farm in Lakeside, also known as Oma’s Pumpkin Patch and Oma’s Christmas Tree Patch, carries a selection of her items. Vent also plans to be at several events this year, including the Parent Connection Swap Meet on March 27 at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley. Growing more and more savvy everyday, Vent is also donating several bows to Christ Lutheran’s annual gala and silent auction supporting the school.
In addition to her Etsy store, Vent has a Facebook page and a brand new blog. “This blog is brand new… I am currently having a giveaway for a $10 gift certificate to my shop to one of my first 100 blog followers,” Vent said.

Ok, I can't believe it! I never dreamed in a million years that someone from a newspaper would do a story like this about the things I've made! I am so honored and excited!!! Thanks everyone for all your support!!
Craftfully yours,
Kristin
