Handmade Boys Neckties are Here!

I am so happy to finally release Little Star Sweeper's neckties! A variety of handmade ties, in sizes for all ages. Most made from high quality, 100% cotton, designer fabric - so you can expect both classic designs, as well as the latest trends. Child sizes are made with an easy on, Velcro neck strap, without compromising the look of a real tie, while the full sized ties are made just like Dad's for authenticity. You can coordinate or match ties for dashing memories of brothers, fathers & sons, friends or family. :) 

Ties make fantastic accessories in photos, they are a cute prop for all ages. They can also complete an outfit for special occasions, holidays or church, dress up school days, or just for adding some sweet style to your little guy's wardrobe!

So far my boys have been enjoying their ties, I hope they are a hit with everyone else, too!

New Year, New Design!

Little Star Sweeper is starting the year off right with a fresh new look! With a sleek, modern design featuring hints of vintage style throughout, the new look of LSS really reflects the overall feel of of the products. I am so happy to debut the new site & even happier to be have completed the design - this taught me to stick to what I'm good at & creating websites isn't my forte, lol!

Looking forward to a lot of new creations this year, I love my job & am so grateful to be able to continue doing it!

Boys Tie Shirts - Handmade Boutique Boys Clothing Tie Shirts, Suspenders, Vests, Bow Ties, & Neck Ties

Little Star Sweeper is proud to have been featuring select boys clothing items since day one. Our handmade boys tie shirts, along with our signature tie and suspender shirts, are LSS staple pieces. Beginning in 2012, I am so excited to be expanding the boys collection to include boutique neck ties, bow ties, vests, and a few other surprise pieces I am looking forward to launching in the New Year.

After many requests for matching brother & sister items, LSS will (finally!) be offering limited coordinating girls outfits to go with our signature boy pieces. Some of the brother/sister outfits have been "tested" this year on a few eager customers & I am really pleased with how the designs worked out. I am looking forward to fulfilling the customer requests for these sweet outfits & so grateful to work with such amazing people, who have allowed me to expand & continue to support Little Star Sweeper. Thank you all so much!

Couture Mini Top Hat - The Hottest Trend of The Year!

If you've been online at all this year, you've probably seen a miniature top hat or two somewhere. Maybe your favorite photographer used one (or many!) as a prop, or a sweet birthday girl had a unique hat to celebrate or special day. They have been the trend of the year & are still going strong!

What I love most about the mini top hats is how they appeal to a range of tastes and transcend decades of fashion styles. The top hat itself is such a classy, high fashion feeling piece, it's fantastic to be able to bring these mini hats to people everywhere to add a touch of class & couture style to their day.

I am so happy to be able to offer my own variety of mini top hats at Little Star Sweeper, and especially pleased to be able to do so in several styles to suit different tastes (not to mention different genders!). With two little gentlemen of my own to dress, there will absolutely be more in store for the boys in the near future. What goes better with a tie & suspender shirt than a dapper mini top hat? Not a thing comes to my mind, they're a perfect match!

Here are a few of my favorites, hope you enjoy them!
