gleeful peacock headband *giveaway*

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED, CONGRATS TO RHIANNA!***

I have a confession: I have an unhealthy obsession with headbands.  I think it stems from having an odd shaped head and not being able to wear them as a child…until I learned to properly tease my hair so they look fantastic.  Now, I can't get enough of them.

So imagine how thrilled I was when I was the lucky blogger picked to receive a Gleeful Peacock headband in a giveaway last year!  Seriously, remember these fashion friday photos?  I LOVE this headband.

Seriously, I am smitten with Gleeful Peacock headbands, just look at how gorgeous!

Gph 
1) steampunk inspired olive and rust  2) teal and lime green 3) color me pretty red and turquoise 4) chocolate brown and yellow

And for those of you who may not be headband wearers, Gleeful Peacock has necklaces, bracelets and hair accessories galore.  Let's meet Nikki, the amazing designer behind the Gleeful Peacock shop!

I am a mom to one fabulously funky little girl, a wife, a full-time employee, a friend, a daughter and a new business owner. But the one thread that runs through all aspects of my life and defines me in every title is that I am an artist. Wow, that feels good to actually write. I think I have always been a creative soul. Although, it is just recently that I dared call myself an artist. It has always seemed like such an elusive and strong statement to make about oneself. Almost a declaration of what you are to your core.

Why did you start Gleeful Peacock?

I don’t know when it happened, but slowly over time I realized I was the only one that could decide if I was an artist and if I deserved the title. I decided that if I was not yet an artist, then I need to live as one. Aristotle said ‘We are what we repeatedly do’. If you want to be an artist, do artistic and creative acts. With this in mind, I set out to start my own business and I created Gleeful Peacock.

I have to know the story behind your store name!

The name symbolizes my two main goals, to be colorful and happy. Although my shop may not have paintings for your wall, it all comes from my creative energy and to me it is wearable art. I love to create pieces with meaning, symbolism or a specific inspiration.

I believe with every part of me that the world can be a more beautiful and happier place if we were all to release into the world the beauty that lies within us.

Thanks Nikki!  Be sure to check Gleeful Peacock out on facebook as well: www.facebook.com/thegleefulpeacock
