This is a cooler and calmer version of our Festive barrette. The background of this barrette was created by laying a thin layer of silver foil to create a festive background. Border and flower stems of the barrette were painted in liquid bronze. The barrette was covered with several layers of lacquer for shine and protection.
This barrette has 3 levels of metal clip adjustment. This adjustment feature makes the barrette suitable for ladies with both thin and thick hair.

I was envious of the pillows in all the interior decorating magazines, and was disappointed to see that they were available through designers only. Imagine my joy when I found your website! I am sewing my own pillows out of the fabrics I received from you. I just finished new pillows for the bedroom and now will start on the living room. P.S. Also, your packaging is very "old world", please do not change it! I felt connected to a place in a different world when opening your package.
[Nilufar's response on July 7, 2008:] Irene, I lost a count of a number of postal officials I spoke to in efforts to use my own packaging. Alas, it is a government regulation in Uzbekistan that postal service packs all orders in the “old world“ fashion. Luckily, you are not the only one who loves the packaging not to mention that it is very “green“.
