Newsboy hat now available in sizes infant to adult. New styles coming soon!

For all those customers who asked: Our classic boutique crochet newsboy hat is now offered in sizes

infant to adult. What a great accessory item to just about any outfit. This hat can be worn year round as it is made of a top quality cotton fiber. The hat can be made with a flower on the side. Different flowers are available and can be made as a clip on, so as to be worn as a hair clippie or with other items, or can be permanently affixed.  I am now offering the custom made newsboy in some other variations of the design. A heavier fiber can be used for those who require strictly winter weight. I am also making a hat band across the front for those who prefer them. I have many things planned for upcoming designs, so stay tuned to see what exciting things I offer.

You can find custom auctions in my Ebay store this month. You can find the links in the right hand column of this blog. If you don't see any available and still want to order one, contact me for a custom order. I have many colors available.

Thanks for visiting today,

Happy New Year from Bella Sera Boutique

Happy New Year to all of my customers, followers and readers who helped to make 2011 a very successful year for me. I had so much fun creating for all who ordered from me and all who contracted me to make special items for them both here and on my sister sites. I had so much fun and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thanks to all my followers who have kept in contact with me over the years and continued to order from me. Your encouragement has been a highlight to me! Thanks to you, my friends and family, who have encouraged me. A special thank you to my husband and my daughter who encourage me, help me and believe in me. I can't begin to say what your support means to me. (Dear husband, you are my best friend and I love you so much. You help me to make all that I do possible in more ways than mere words could convey.) And...most of all, I thank God! It is He who gave me my talents and blesses me to use them. My life is HIS and I pray only that I might use my talents to bring HIM honor and glory and that I might share His great love through my work. 2011 was a great year and I look forward to all the wonderful things that 2012 will bring.


I haven't posted to my blog as often as I might have liked (because I have been so busy with orders) but I am going to try to post a bit more often this year. I started this blog because of customer requests, so, I suppose the very least I can do is post a bit more often.
Thanks to you all.

Happy New Year!

May God bless and keep you throughout this new year!

Girls Lalaloopsy Hat for a gift or Pageant, One of a Kind, Ready to Ship!

If you have a little girl around, you probably have some Lalaloopsy dolls around. They are the latest craze. As their line expands, new dolls are items are being released. They have their own play sets, clothing, tree house, remote control car, ferris-wheel, school bus, etc. I have been getting requests for Lalaloopsy items.

Recently, I finished my own rendition of a handmade boutique Lalaloopsy inspired hat that you collectors might recognize as made to match Crumb Sugar Cookie. (My own design) This one is made of all high quality cotton fibers and is suitable for year round wear! This hat is ready to ship and will fit approximate sizes 3t to 6x. The hat does stretch and would be the perfect accessory item. This hat took a LONG  time to make, so I am not sure I will repeat it unless by custom order. Right now, it is definitely a one of a kind item. The curls are secured both inside and out and stacked in a special way. If the right buyer comes along, this is going to make some little Lalaloopsy lover very happy when she sees her gift. This would also be a big hit for some little pageant princess to wear.

Here are a few pictures of my new hat. You can currently find it in my eBay store. I have not yet listed it on etsy, though I plan to do so. You can find the link to both my stores on the right hand side of this blog.

Remember, this hat is full of luscious curls that are stacked and though secured, still are
bouncy. This hat is very securely made. What little Lalaloopsy lover wouldn't be thrilled to have this darling hat.

I am currently accepting orders for Christmas and am getting them filled now as quickly as I can. Get yours in soon so as to be sure your item will be completed in time for Christmas.

Wow! I have been featured on eBoutique Designs! (See my gingerbread hat, legwarmers, pins, purse & sweater)

In April, 2006 eBoutique Designs was started. Boutique designers and some buyers alike joined. Membership kept growing and eBD became a huge boutique group that now boasts over 2100 members. The talent displayed by the designers there has never ceased to amaze me as month after month designers showed off their talents and wares. Launches and boutique collaborations took place with amazing results. Not many boutique groups have been able to withstand the test of time but eBD is still around and the designers are still designing and taking custom orders. In their support of keeping handmade alive, they put their design skills to the test and are still turning out amazing items. You may find the beautiful items of eBD designers on ebay. Click the eBD logo above or click HERE to visit their auctions. You'll be glad you did. :-)

I am both honored and pleased to say that I have been chosen as the featured designer for the end of October showcasing a special set of my handmade crocheted gingerbread items. (Thank you eBD)

They featured my year round gingerbread hat. It is made of fine cottons and has a stationary layered flower on the hat that also has a layer of Michael Miller fabric. The hat comes with one gingerbread pin. This pin can be worn on the hat or not. Perfect for almost any occasion. The perfect accessory item to wear with so many things.
Also featured are my made to match leg warmers. One set on auction comes with matching gingerbread pins. They can also be worn or laced in shoes. They are festive pinned on legwarmers but the legwarmers can be worn without the pins all winter..then showing off the appliqued hearts on the side of the cuff. The legwarmers can also be worn as arm warmers if desired.
**Both the hat and the legwarmers are available as custom orders as well.

(Hat, legwarmers and gingerbread's...shown here with gingerbread pin...and in photo below..without the gingerbread pins)

Wear the gingerbread rounds as pins or laced into shoes.

Also featured was my pink gingerbread and candy purse. It features a cute little gingerbread girl and a swirled piece of candy.

Also featured is my one of a kind gingerbread sweater. This lovely sweater would surely delight a little girl and would be perfect for wearing during the Christmas season. This set would look great for pictures and absolutely no one would have one like it! Many hours of design and handwork went into this item. I love how it turned out!

All these items are currently on auction on ebay. They would make wonderful gifts.
