Hi all,

Some of you used to purchase my hair flowers from my ebay shop - which I took down due to their mounting rip off costs - Fleurs Originales.

Im glad to say they are back and are currently gracing the shop at www.ushaoseye.co.uk.

So what are you waiting for - you know you want to!

Remember to check back often as I have a ton of different flowers, feathers and kuchi to put together.

Happy shopping!
