Stinkerbell Accessories designer Chrissy Gaynor and her beautiful family
I met my friend Chrissy at our iVillage expecting club back in 2006. She was carrying her youngest, Grace, and I had little Joe Joe swimming around in my belly. Chrissy is one of those people who is just cool. She's fun, drama-free, and friendly to everyone. When the fur was flying over there and hormones were raging because we were all ten months pregnant and ran out of pop tarts on the same day, Chrissy would come in with a "What the H*ll is going on here?" type of post and bring everybody back down to Earth. She's the real deal.
Chrissy has been a stay at home Mom extraordinaire for as long as I've known her. So when she told me she'd found something that she enjoyed and was good at, (besides oh I don't know, keeping her husband Pat happy, having and raising beautiful children, keeping a home, watching a friend's child and looking sickeningly good in a bikini), I was well and truly happy for her. She wanted to send me some headbands and only wanted me to pass out a card or two when people asked about them. I told her not to, because I didn't want her to suffer the expense, but she insisted. And I'm so glad she did!
Lily, who is almost six months old, just loved our photo session. She didn't get irritated the way she usually does when, God forbid, I try to put a cute hat or headband on her. In the pic up above, she is wearing the Carina.
Here she is sporting a new model similar to the Audrey found on Chrissy's pink page.
"Aren't I beeyootiful?" she seems to say as she mugs for the camera.
The headband is crocheted out of soft, satiny fabric. It stretches and fits like a charm, even on my baby daughter's head, but isn't too tight. Some headbands leave a red mark on her head, and when they do that they get tossed into the trash! Not Stinkerbell Accessories, though. They look great on older girls as well, as you can see in the photos of the flower headbands modeled by Chrissy's lovely daughter Grace and beautiful stepdaughter Jessica, both of whom are so special to Chrissy. I know because I've heard her brag about them for years. She has a very handsome young son named Brett as well, who I know appreciates not being asked to model a headband for posterity's sake.
From the About Us section of Stinkerbell Accessories:
Designer Chrissy Gaynor uses the daily inspirations she receives through the joy of raising her children, and interpreting their love of nature into hair accessories. She feels that the right accessory can not only change the entire look of an outfit, but can also transform the way one feels about herself. Whether these items are used casually, for fun, or for formal use, we hope that our accessories make each little girl feel as special as she truly is.
Go, Chrissy!
