Ilze's Memories
Interview with Ilze:
~Tell us a little bit about your self, Ilze.~
I originally came from Riga, Latvia where my mom taught me how to knit and crochet , but now I'm raising my two children in Pittsburgh, PA. I love creating, so every moment I don't spend at work (I work full time) I let my creative spirit take over. I love photography (I also have a photo shop here on Etsy called Ilze's Photo Capture, ) painting, and challenging myself to create new things. I create from my heart and I do not use patterns. Most of my knit and crochet creations are one of the kind.
~What inspired you to start your shop?~
I wanted to create, but couldn't use all of my creations and had requests here and there so decided to give it a try and sell some of my work.
~What is your favorite item in your shop and why?~
I really don't have a favorite. When I create something, especially if I had not done anything similar before, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and when I receive images with my creations or thank yous from my clients, it brings me this warm and fuzzy feeling from making someone else happy.

Amazing Items I found at Ilze lucero Props and Bridals:
My Review:
I received these dark teal bobby pins in the mail a couple of days ago to review and I have worn them every day! I really love how the edge of the petals have a little hint of color to them. Personally, I like the darkness to them because you can wear them with just about anything. The flowers themselves are Hydrangea look alikes and the are really secured tightly on the bobby pin. I can imagine curling my hair, adding one or two of these bobby pins, and going out to a nice restaurant for dinner. At Ilze Lucero Props and Bridals you can buy: wedding accessories, photography props, baby hats, adult hats, headbands and bobby pins,
The gorgeous items in Ilze's shop would make wonderful gifts for Christmas or great prop for your holiday photos! I hope you guys check out her store!
