***Please note a delay in shipping times for all items. Items purchased between June 5th, 2018 through June 20th, 2018 will NOT be shipped until June 22nd, 2018. Please make note of this when considering making a purchase. There is no way for me to speed up the process time during this time frame. I apologize for the inconvenience.
PLEASE READ ALL SHOP POLICIES BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE.
All of my flowers, fabrics and beads are handmade or salvaged from vintage clothing or accessories. These are NOT pre-bought flowers glued onto headbands. These are truly one of a kind, hand cut, hand stitched, hand beaded flowers and accessories. I sew my flowers, beads and buttons by hand in my North-Metro Atlanta, Georgia studio. The only time I use adhesives is to attach items that are not able to be sewn, such as clock hands, some metal findings and natural items such as twigs and moss.
My fascinators and head pieces are meant to be worn for ornament only. They are not hair clips in the sense that they hold one's hair in place. They are decoration and add to your costume, wedding attire, photography, however you choose to use my pieces. If you need suggestions as to how to place my pieces in your hair, please visit www.JenniferGriffinStudios.com for a tutorial (link coming soon).
You will find in my items a bit of my favorite genres; steampunk, fairy fantasy, mermaid whimsy, Native American lore and an ancient Celtic distinction. If there is something specific you'd like to have, I would love to work with you to create your custom piece.
I do ship internationally. Due to recent price increases from the USPS, international shipping rates have dramatically increased. Please message me for combined or express international rates. I am more than happy to combine shipping or send items with express service for international customers.
I do collaboration work with photographers, magazines and other artists. I have been features in Bridal Guide magazine March 2015 issue, Weddings What's What, an online UK magazine, display in Humber Fashion Institute's 60 foot window display, Jewelry Affair Magazine April 2016, April 2018, July 2018 issues, various blogs and more. Please contact me if you are interested in working with me.
PLEASE, PLEASE read ALL shop policies before making a purchase. I am not responsible for misunderstandings about returns, refunds, shipping times, lost packages, and the like. All of these are outlined in my Shop Policies and Additional Info sections.

About Jennifer Griffin & Her Studio
My back ground is in interior design and I have always loved making things, using my hands. I use many different mediums to express myself, canvas painting, clay sculpting, sewing, paper crafting, mix media, photography. I love to tell stories through these mediums.
Years ago, after my first child was born I started designing hair accessories, costumes, fabric toys, bow ties and flat caps for my kids. That led into creating for other people and thus my Etsy shop opened. www.JenGriffinStudios.etsy.com
After a few years I started blending my love of vintage and antique finds with the items I was making. I moved from designing for children to designing for adults. Brides, costumers, cosplayers, festival goers. I now design not just for the children but for everyone, specializing in fairytale, tribal fusion and steampunk genera.
There are several sources that I look to for inspiration. Literature, nature, my Celtic roots as well as my Native American heritage, the ocean, to name a few. In more detail, I belong to the Delaware Indian tribe. My grandfather lived on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma. My American Indian heritage is on my fathers side and my Celtic heritage is on my mother's side. My great grandmother immigrated from Scotland and my great grandfather, whom my Scottish grandmother married, immigrated from Ireland. My ancestry and the cultures that I come from are important to me.
One of my favorite stories is Through the Looking Glass- and What Alice Found There and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Fantasy and whimsy found in these sources of inspiration have always influenced me. It shows in my work. Natural color palettes, Victorian fabrics and prints, and a hint of my Celtic and Native roots, myths and all, flavor my pieces, art, and photography. I pour a little bit of my heart, soul and history into everything I create.
You will notice there are more things in my shop besides hair accessories. I bounce back and forth between mediums and even use different mediums on the same piece. You will also notice that some of my pieces include my art photography. These images are mine and were captured by me. I have a passion for photography, especially surreal and fantasy. Through my website, www.JenniferGriffinStudios.com I offer photography services from styling/set design to photo images.
My business is small and albeit, obscure, but you can be assured you are getting a one of a kind, well made, loved art pieces and unique vintage finds, as well as excellent and unique fine art photography services.

I love all things old, vintage and antique. I also love to re-purpose items. There are just too many fabulously historiacal items, fabric, buttons, bits and bobs to not use again. But what I love best are my children. They are my inspiration.

I am more than happy to give you a full refund if an item was damaged because of poor packaging. However, I cannot be responsible for mishandling of packages by the USPS and cannot offer a refund under these circumstances. However you may file a claim with the USPS for damages if you have Priority or Express mail service and are within the US.
I do my best to describe items in full detail, including measurements.
What should you do to return an item for a refund?
-All vintage, art piece, made to order and custom items are NOT returnable and I cannot give a refund for these items.
-Non-Vintage, non-made to order and non-custom item must be returned unworn and in the same condition it arrived to you. Please contact me within 3 days of receiving the item if this rare situation should occur.
-I will send you a prepaid return packaging and when the item(s) are received I will then issue a refund if the issue is faulty manufacturing. I will then issue you a full refund including shipping charges.
-If you simply do not like your piece, then return the item within 7 days and I will issue a refund for the full purchase amount minus original shipping charges.
-Due to international shipping charges being so high, I cannot take returns from international customers. I apologize for this inconvenience. Please note that once an item leaves the US I have no way to check on the package. You will have to check with your local postal service in your country. You are responsible for all customs fees, VAT taxes and import taxes. I also cannot control how long customs holds your order. Even with expedited shipping, sometimes customs takes a bit longer than usual. Please take this into consideration when purchasing around holidays.
Each item is inspected thoroughly for quality before being made available for sale and then checked again before item is packaged for shipping.
If you have a question about your item after purchase please feel free to contact me!
Please note my items are not mass produced. Each piece is made be me, photographed by me, listed by me, and packaged by me. As each item is handmade and contains all or some vintage and/or antique pieces, each vintage and/or antique piece may have signs of age. This is to be expected and adds character and uniqueness to each item touched by time.
Vintage goods, art/mixed media piece, custom designs and most made to order items cannot be returned. I apologize for the inconvenience of this. Please ask questions or request more photos if needed, before you purchase any of these goods.
