Another Case - Etsy shop

I am really excited about the new iPhone 5S.  I've been waiting for this so that I can upgrade my phone.  I wasn't quite ready to upgrade when the iPhone 5 came out and I wanted to make sure that when I did upgrade, it was more than just one generation up.  I've been shopping around for a case to go along with my new phone and I came across this Etsy shop, Another Case.  They're from Slovenia and have fantastic ratings along with some really fun and unique cases.  Here are the 5 that I'm loving and also struggling to decide between (click on image for link).










Which one would you choose?

Also, I have a few new bows in my shop!  I'm so excited about the glitter elastic, check them out here.

shops I love

Welcome to my blog, Nora's Bows, named after my Etsy shop of the same name.  I will be blogging about my shop, DIY projects, recipes my family loves, shops and products I love, and design/decor.  For my first post, I thought promoting my shop would be a great way to get things started. 


Nora's Bows opened at the beginning of January 2013.  I wanted a good selection of adorable bows for our daughter to wear, but I had a hard time finding any that I loved and wanted to pay around $10 for, so I made them instead.  It was my husband who had the idea of starting my own shop.  I decided to incorporate the bow ties I was making for our son as well, and that's how Nora's Bows was started.

When I am selecting fabrics for my bows, I go to a select few local shops who sell quality fabric in the styles and designs I am looking for.  I only use 100% cotton fabric and I try to find colors and patterns that are on trend and in season.  All of my bows are handmade by me at the time they are ordered.  I take care with my bows, ensuring good quality so that they will outlast your child's play.

The bottom line, when I create hair bows and bow ties, I wouldn't use any fabric or make them at a level of quality that I wouldn't want for my own children.
