Designer Amanda Thompson has been making bows for friends and family for quite some time, starting with her Baton Twirling team.  The styles were quite popular and friends suggested that she open a website to show off all her creativity.  Today, Bella Bowtique is making custom orders as well as having ready-to-wear items available for immediate purchase.  The Bowtique will appear at craft fairs and online beginning early in 2009.
