Sunset

And we have...a NEW PRODUCT!

Okay, okay. Settle down, crowd; just settle down.

I present to you...Sunset. A very lovely 4-inch, orange hair flower with a flower-like pearl center! For nearly all of the hair flowers I am selling, I now attach them to a curl clip rather than an alligator clip. The difference? The curl clip has one prong, and I found that they hold a lot better in one's hair. 

This flower will go great with several of your summer outfits, I'm sure, as well as your fall outfits! It would also make a really nice birthday, friend, or just because gift!

Isn't it lovely?! :)

Flower Symbolism Fact #3

It's been a while since I've done a post on flower symbolism so here's for FSF#3!

I last did a FSF on the flowers Truth and Truth 2 so the next two flowers on the All Products tab are Loyalty and Passion. These gorgeous hair accessories are both Dahlias, which represent dignity and elegance.

"Dahl" is a homophone of the Swedish word "dal", or "valley"; although it is not a true translation, the plant is sometimes referred to as the "valley flower".
(Wikipedia)

Check out Loyalty and Passion in the All Products tab!

Also, wanted to mention that you can now share my blog on twitter and facebook with ease! Look at the right side of my blog under "Share it!"; you'll know what to do from there! (:

New flower!!!!!!

Now for the post on that custom hair flower I mentioned.. :) 

A black shabby chic hair flower with jean! It really was an awesome idea!!!

Then a picture of it being modeled!

Don't hesitate to ask for your very own custom hair flower! You can have unique hair accessories found no where else! 

Also, there's always the customer feedback tab for you to check out if you haven't purchased from me yet and have any doubts! 

Modeled!

You know what? It's been a while since I've had a picture of a hair flower being modeled, and since I never had one for a shabby chic hair flower to show you how it'd look while being worn, figured I'd better post one!

A special thank you to my dear friend for allowing me to use her picture! :)

I recently got a really awesome custom order so I'll be posting that flower soon! (You have to see it!) It's for that reason I'm telling you to..check back soon! ;)

Flower adjustment

Hey!!

   Well...I decided to do some flower adjusting for Joy 1, 2, and 3!                                                        

They used to look like this--

But I decided to change them to what's pictured below! =D

I'd like to know what you think! 

The winner!!!!!!!!!

Hey!
   Sorry for the wait on this post for the winner of the photo contest. Was waiting on getting a few details fixed and that took some extra days. Anyway...first off, I just wanted to thank each one of you for participating in the contest! It really made me happy to see all the willing participants. There were so many great, creative pictures it was super hard choosing to vote for only one! So congratulations to all of you who put forth the effort to enter an awesome picture! Okay...soo...ehem..the winner is...picture #5!!!!

Congratulations, Grace!!! =)

Below is a little interview she filled out! :)

 1.) Tell us a little about yourself! 
 Hey I'm Grace and I'm from Pennsylvania, which is located on the eastern side of the United Sates, in AMERICA (thats NORTH NOT SOUTH)  which rest between the pacific and atlantic ocean.. which I hope you all know is part of our planet earth. I'm 15 years old  and am a student in the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School. A few things I enjoy is hair-styling,traveling, running, talking with my friend Olivia  , hanging out with all my friends,soccer and volleyball and Still Waters Camp.. to name a few.  Most importantly I am a Message believer who loves God.


2.) Who or what influenced you to wear your first hair flower?

Hair flowers started showing up everywhere in stores and I really liked the looks of them. Soooo, I had to get one of mine own. (that's usually how it works lol)

3.) What was the first hair flower you ever wore (if you remember)?

No clue

4.) How long have you been wearing hair flowers?

  For years... Not exactly sure when I started wearing them. 

5.) What makes the hair flower you wore in your picture entry your favorite? 

Since it's silver it goes with a lot of outfits and I love the glitter on it. xD

6.) How many hair flowers do you own?

At least 15...

7.) What is your favorite hair flower bloomsofglory currently supplies? Why?

"Kayla" is one of my favs. It's so trendy and I love the shabby look. The flower "Truth" I'd have to say is a tie though because I love the brightness and summery look. (: 

8.) Have you participated in a blog contest before? If so, how many?

No, this was my first.

9.) Is there anything else you would like to say to the viewers of this blog and/or anything else you would like to share with us?

Thanks for the votes.  

All the other contestant's flowers were awesome!!

                                                               

New flower!!!

Hey!!!!

   Yesss..I have an announcement to make! :) You can now get the shabby chic hair flower (extremely "in," by the way) in a beautiful teal!

This color is really popular right now, so no doubt it would go with several of your outfits!
The flower is the same size as the cream shabby chic one (2 1/2 inches), pictured in the "All Products" tab.

Alsoooooo.....You can order this same flower not only in cream, not only in this gorgeous teal...but also in hot pink or black!! I can even mix  more than one color into one flower! For instance, want a black and cream shabby chic hair flower? No problem! You might want different combinations such as cream and  teal, or hot pink and  black, or black and  teal, or some other combination!

Some of you may also like "tiny" shabby chic hair flowers.. --which would look really cute, I might add--(and I can make hair flowers look even more shabby chic than what is pictured), so feel free to place a custom order for that or anything else!

Let me know what you think! :)

P.S. The winner for the photo contest will be announced soon! Sorry..there's been a little bit of delay.

Grrr....

Okay, so it looks like the polls just keep erasing the votes--frustrating. So now to cast your vote, please email me which number picture you vote for. Voting ends on November 12th, so don't wait to send in your vote! (Email it to bloomsofglory@gmail.com) Thanks and sorry about all this! I have no idea why the polls are getting rid of the votes.
If you haven't yet seen the pictures in the contest, just scroll down to the post below!

What in the world..?!?!?!??!

Okay..I don't know how or why this is happening..but the poll keeps erasing votes. Yesterday it erased five..and now it erased ALL the votes. *Face palm* (I've never even heard of that happening before..)

So...I put another poll on the right side of my blog..Please cast your vote in THAT poll..NOT in the one on the previous post. If you have already voted, please do not  re-vote..I saw all the votes shortly before the poll erased them and have them logged, so I'll just add those votes to the results from the new poll after the voting for the contest has ended.
Remember, when casting your vote, vote on the poll to the right of my blog!  → 

Here are the entries again!

Thanks! 

To the Polls!!!!

Welcome to the second half of the hair flower photo contest! I know many (if not all) are eager to start the voting, so here's how it works!
Each of the entries are listed below. At the end of this post, there's a poll where you can select which picture you want to cast your vote for and then submit it! Please cast one and only one vote! (There's several good ones so it's going to be a bit tough choosing!) ;)

Please, everyone vote! Even if you entered a picture for the contest you can; however, if you did send in an entry, you are not allowed to cast a vote for your own picture! Also, some of you may know of or be friends with some of the picture participants. Please cast an unbiased vote! =)

One more thing. Being this is a hair flower modeling cost, you're not just casting your vote depending on the hair flower, but also the creativity of the picture, the way it was modeled, and the overall picture you believe is done the best. :)

The entries!

Let the Contest Begin!!!

Alright, so let's get started! I know you all have been curious as to what this blog contest is...which is why..I'm not going to tell you until next week. x) Jk, jk lol.. So I am having aaaa... picture contest! :) First off, you must qualify to participate by joining my blog via google friend connect!      I see several of you have already done that...Thumbs up to you! You're on top of things! (:
However, if you haven't done that yet, now's the time! I've noticed that not too many people know what google friend connect is so if you have any questions about joining it, feel free to ask! (Please not that google + and google friend connect are two totally different things!)
     So you're probably wondering: just what kind of picture contest is this..? Answer: A hair flower modeling contest! :)

All you have to do is:

1. Pick your favorite hair flower.
2. Get your picture taken of you modeling it!
3. E-mail it to bloomsofglory@gmail.com

You're email will NOT be given out, and your pictures will only be posted on this blog. So, no worries! :)

You will have two weeks to send in a picture of yourself. Please note that October 30th is the last day that pictures will be accepted! 

In your picture, no showing cleavage is allowed and clothing must be below the knee! (Though, the picture does not have to be a full body shot.) Also, the picture must be of  you modeling the flower, and you are allowed only one picture entry! However, if you would like to replace a previously sent in picture before or on October 30th with what you feel is a "better one," than what you sent in before, that will be accepted.

After the two week time period is up, the second stage for the contest will commence--voting! You may cast one, and only one, vote even if you participated by sending in a picture! Rules, though: You are not allowed to vote for your own picture!  If you didn't send in a picture for the contest, you can still vote! The more votes the merrier! Simply join my blog via google friend connect and cast your vote! After the voting has ended, (obviously) the picture with the most votes wins!
      In the event there is a tie, the pictures with the tied amount of votes will be placed in Round 2, for which there will be a re-vote on the tied pictures!

The winner will be featured on my blog with their winning photo as well as an interview!

This is my first blog contest so I'm trying to get a feel of how many participates I'd have when I have an upcoming contest with a giveaway as the prize, so I ask that you all would please participate as if the prize were a giveaway!

I hope each one of you takes part, and the contest consists of lots of pictures and votes! Let's all have some fun! (:

Flower Symbolism #2

Picking up with the next two hair flowers from where I left off in the All Products tab (Truth and Truth 2), we come to the Zinnia, the flower for which the general meaning is thoughtfulness and friendship. 

     "The meaning of zinnia is deeper than most of the flowers blooming in the mid summer season. The flower zinnia, is a symbol of lasting love, goodness, thoughts of an absent friend, constancy and daily remembrance of good memories. The state flower of Indiana is zinnia. The meaning of the flower is different depending on its color. A yellow colored zinnia is a symbol of daily remembrance, the white zinnia represents goodness, the scarlet zinnia represents constancy, magenta zinnia is a symbol of lasting love and affection, while a mixed colored zinnia means thinking of an absent friend. The first ever flowers were discovered in early 1500s in the wilderness of Mexico. These zinnias were very unpleasant, dull and unappealing. Aztec, the Mexican emperor during the 1500s named them and it meant "eyesore". Today, the common name of zinnia is garden Cinderella, which implies the level of transformation that the flower went through." (Excerpt from the web--buzzle article.) 

     Although there are orange zinnias, I could not find the symbolic meaning for them; however, the general meaning of a zinnia, which I stated at the beginning of this post, is thoughtfulness and friendship. The color orange means vitality or endurance and stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Those who are usually drawn to this color are very thoughtful and sincere people, as well as quite social. Orange also is a combination of the energy that red stimulates, and the color yellow's effect of happiness, as well as increases self-esteem! From all the other symbolic meanings I have read, I am led to believe that the orange zinnia would symbolize thoughtfulness and endurance.
