  <body-html>&lt;p&gt;I am a proud mommy of two fabulous kids and also a Kindergarten teacher. I&amp;#8217;ve been teaching for the past eight years in Miami, Florida.  I am also an arts and crafts aficionado and find crafting very therapeutic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tiny Bowtique began when my husband and I found out we were expecting a little girl in early 2007.  I started searching for the perfect little bow my baby girl could wear for her hospital picture.  I traveled to sooooo many baby boutiques, looking for that &#8220;perfect&#8221; bow and couldn&#8217;t find that simple bow I had imagined.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I decided to make my own bow.  After much trial and error, I discovered that baby snap clips worked amazingly even on the finest hair.  I covered it with grosgrain ribbon and lined the inside with a special grip to make it even more non slip.  I then attached a pink satin ribbon in the center.  Woo! the &#8220;Tiny Bow&#8221; was born.  That was the simple bow I was searching for.  When our baby girl arrived at the end of the summer, she wore her pink &#8220;Tiny Bow&#8221; for her hospital picture&#8230; and it was just what I imagined&#8230; sweet and chic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I began creating more and more clips for my baby.   My friends began asking me to make clips for their children.  At the mall, people would inquire as to where I bought the clip my baby was wearing.  That&#8217;s when I (and my entrepreneurial minded hubby)decided to turn my little therapeutic hobby in to a business and so Tiny Bowtique was born in the Fall of 2007.  The name Tiny Bowtique was inspired by that simple and sweet &#8220;Tiny Bow&#8221; I made for my baby girl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Tiny Bowtique line has expanded to include clips and headbands for toddlers and girls as well. I&amp;#8217;ve even had customers use them on their doggy&amp;#8217;s hair!  All the designs have been meticulously handcrafted by me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sweet, Chic, Tiny Bowtique&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Warmest Regards,&lt;br /&gt;
