Its no secret that I have a little Winklepots korker bow obsession. Just look at any number of photos of my girls featured on this blog and the bows are everywhere.
My girls have this rotten habit of pulling out hair accessories, but these korkers are no-fail in our household. Attached to metal French hair clips, my girls can't figure out how to get them out of their hair. Hurray!
Plus, Holly always offers a buy 2 sets for $12 deal, which is perfect for gals like me, who can't decide which set to choose (might as well buy all of them!).
To date, I have 11 sets of bows and 9 single korkers, lovingly made by Holly, and I'm not done yet. I just can't get enough and she gave me a sneak peek at the new ribbons she bought while I was visiting her this past weekend... they gave me shivers of delight, they are just that fabulous.
I was soooo happy when Holly sat me down, the movie 27 Dresses playing in the background (I love that movie!), and taught me how to make korkers of my own.
Lets just say that I have a new found appreciation for the work Holly puts into each of her korker bow sets. All ribbons are hand-curled, hand-assembled, and hand-stitched to ensure durability.
They aren't easy and they are very time consuming. I was more than happy to pay for them before and now I'm even more happy to pay for them, because while I had fun, I'll leave the hard stuff for Holly!
Here is a little sample of the mass quantities of korkers that we have hanging on Gracie and Annelie's hairbow holder....
What can I say? I love 'em.
But whats in it for you, you might be asking yourself. Well, I made two french clip korker bows just for you, my dear readers. Its time for another giveaway and there will be two winners this time.

hmmm...I'd torn between the "One Odd Bird" tee and the "I'm Even Hotter Close Up" tee. and my girls would love to fight over your giveaway (which means I'd have to go by more..just can't seem to keep hairbows in my girls' hair; they always magically disappear...tips?)
Ohhhh...I love the Cherry Blossom Girl T-shirt. The cherry blossoms are so sweet.
I've got this onesie marked in my favorites - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23017971

Yours are darling...I love the lime and zebra ones...anything with zebra is a winner.
My fave thing from Holly's shop is the one odd bird tee...I've always been the odd one, plus you are dang cute modeling it! :)
