Giveaway: Girlettes!
Here at MamaBuzz, we are all about mamas and their kids. For our next giveaway, we contacted Tarra Corcoran from Girlettes. Tarra is a wife and mama to "two hilarious little girls, Lavinia (2 1/2 years) and Olive (8 months)."
Tarra started making barettes for the simple reason that when her daughter finally started growing hair, nothing would stay in it. So, she decided to get creative and make her own barettes. She has had to make them bigger as the months go by and as her daughters grow. Creating is a form of escape for Tarra; in her own words: "Since my children are always on my mind it just fits that I would be making childreney things.
I've always LOVED art projects and pretending I'm a kid again... Seeing the world through their eyes. Kids are just amazing! In their world, Everything Is Possible... Words to live by."
Tarra has generously offered to give one of our readers two of her barettes, the ladybug
Tarra lives on Martha's Vineyard (and no, she did not get to see the President when he and his family were there). She is a stay at home mom, which entails many things, including being an artist and maid:); and her husband is a caretaker.

All of Tarra's barettes are hand-drawn, cut, and sewn. She uses an array of different felts, as she loves to collect supplies. She says, "I really enjoy seeing them come to life and go off into the world."

These are very cute!!! My 5 year old grandaughter would really love them ... as most likely all 5 year old girls would! Have a happy day!
My daughter is in LOVE with butterflies lately! We were out looking at Halloween costumes yesterday and she wanted the ladybug one (didn't have in her size, though) - which is the first time she's been drawn to ladybugs.
These are adorable, and I have a little girl! My daughter loves butterflies and ladybugs...

I love the ladybug! My dd's room has a definite ladybug theme, and I know she would love this -- we collect ladybug toys, rain boots, books, etc., and she would be thrilled with this!

that they stay in hair.
So cute, my daughter would love these!
I love the handcrafted nature of these clips!
These are very cute! And I like that they are homemade to fit in little girls hair. Sometimes the ones I buy at the store don't stay in very well because my daughter's hair is still fine and they will slip right out.
These are adorable! My 3 year old only has gotten enough hair to use barettes in the last six months, so barettes designed specifically for not to fall out would be perfect!
Any little girl would look cute with these in her hair..Please, Please,,Pick Me
