Crazy About Chenille! CLOSED

Every child needs to wake up Easter morning to find a cute cuddly Easter bunny in their Easter basket. I searched several stores on the look out for that perfect Easter Bunny. My favorite bunny was found at "Crazy About Chenille". At Crazy About Chenille you will find several adorable items made from soft chenille fabric. Her is some more information on Lori the creator and her store.

"I retired from a CPA firm after working for 30 years. I was looking forward to slowing down and focusing on a hobby. I love to sew so I bought a computerized embroidery machine. I always wanted one but being so busy with a career and raising a family, it was not in the budget. I was enjoying sewing for my 7 Grandchildren and some where along the line five years ago this hobby grew into a business. I feel very blessed. For the last five years it has been all word of mouth and repeat customers. Someone suggested Ebay and Etsy so for some crazy reason I tried both. I sold my first tooth fairy pillow on ebay within fifteen minutes of listing it. I absolutely love what I do and only wish there were more hours in a day and another one of me."



Before I move on to the giveaway I want to mention that most "Crazy About Chenille" items can be personalized. This includes the adorable bunnies that also make great baby gift ideas.



The Giveaway: The winner may have their choice of a pink or white chenille bunny. The bunny will also be personalized with a name and will come with a ribbon around the neck.

To Enter: You must visit Crazy About Chenille, take a look around then come back and tell me another one of your favorite items.

Inkpony Interview

I happened upon this fantastic shop last month. I thought it would be wonderful to share with you their cute and eco-friendly baby onesies and t-shirts. The two creaters of this wonderful shop are Juliana and Erica. They gave me some wonderful information on them and their products and I am so excited to introduce them to you.

All of Inkpony's onesies and t-shirts are made of 100% organic cotton that is dyed with non-toxic, azo-free dyes to create an array of vibrant colors to choose from. we also produce our own images and designs for screenprinting, and the prints are done with non-toxic, water-based inks.

in continuing with their vision of creating a product with the lowest environmental impact, they use scrap material, recycled picture frames, and remnant cloth to build their screens.

Inkpony's philosophy is geared toward simple style: "good for you, good for the earth. we just hope you like what you see".



Interview:
-What is your shop name and URL?

Inkpony. We are the ponies of ink. Happy ponies, of ink.
URL: www.inkpony.etsy.com

-What do you sell in your Etsy shop?

Juliana: We sell "conscious art for you and your babe," which breaks down to: stylish screenprinted stuff. organic onesies + tshirts, yoga mat bags, tote bags, snuggly rag quilt blankets, changing pads... Have an idea? We'll give it a shot.
Erica: Conscious, wearable art for you and your babe.

-What inspires your creations?

Juliana: Our babes, mainly. We were inspired to create stylish duds that were as good for the environment as they were for our own babies. a desire to find more 'urban' kids clothing fused with organic goodness led us to screenprinting + creating our own. Now we love the process, and particularly love getting that goodness out there.
Erica: life, people, situations, suggestions, each other, the heat of the moment

-What is your favorite item in your shop (currently for sale or previously sold)?

Erica: I have to choose 1! hmmm… yoga bag (active listing) and gray onesie w/ red camera print (sold). That’s 2…I know.
Juliana: Tough call. really. I have a boy and I'm pregnant with a little girl. right now, I'm digging the cranberry onesie with a antiqued white seahorse.

-What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?

Juliana: eager, imaginative and easy-going
Erica: strong, innovative, fun-loving

-What makes your shop unique?

Juliana: We're organic. We have color. And we have killer prints. That's unique to the world of babies.
Erica: Hmmmm…again…tough for me to narrow it down…our onesie color selection and screenprint design selection are pretty out of this world…haven’t seen anything like it yet.

-Where else can we find out more about you and/or your creations (please include a link)?

Juliana: We have a (super-duper novice) website.Iit's basic, but it's us... for now. www.inkpony.com. We have posted a cool movie, and soon you'll be able to see more photos, too. You can also check out what we love and love to do at: www.inkpony.blogspot.com.

Modbe Clothing giveaway! CLOSED

One of my friends contacted me about hosting a giveaway and informed me she was a Modbe consultant. She also mentioned that they recently got their 2009 swimsuit collection in. I was so excited because I have heard of Modbe and my sister even owns a Modbe swimsuit. It is awesome! In fact I am trying to decide which one I want to purchase before I take off on my cruise. I can't wait... for the swimsuit that is!




So I asked Jillyan Smith, the Modbe consultant, to share a little about herself and Modbe. Here is what she had to say.

"Modbe is all about helping women feel better about themselves--to feel comfortable, modest, and stylish! Modbe's 2009 Swim is better than ever! In addition to great style, comfort, and coverage Modbe's 2009 collections features revolutionary swim technology. All tops feature a body shaping power mesh lining to support and tone your upper body. Consider it your secret weapon! Modbe's Banded Bikini Bottom is tops due to it's versatility. Fold it down for hip coverage, or leave it up for more support. Make a splash with contrast or find your perfect match! Lovers of cover will want to add a stylish swim skirt to top it all off"!

Jillyan Smith is sponsoring this giveaway. Jillyan loves being a Modbe Fashion Consultant. She loves that she can set her own schedule, and working involves hanging out with friends! Jillyan also loves that Modbe's clothes and swimsuits practically sell themselves with their versatility and exceptional quality! Modbe is a fast-growing, exciting Party Plan company, which means that its products are not found in retail stores. Instead, these products are offered exclusively through Modbe home parties.

Tooth Fairy Keepsakes Review and giveaway! CLOSED

Though my son is barley turning four, he is missing his two front teeth. Much to our surprise last Nov. our son had two very loose teeth. We did an x-ray to find he had no root. This must have been cause by some past trauma to his teeth. Needless to say he will be minus his teeth for at least two years or more.

With all this excitement the Tooth Fairy has had one concern. She hasn't been sure as to what to do with her new collection of teeth. I have to admit I hate throwing these precious little teeth away. They are a reminder of my little boy and the baby I once use to hold in my arms and rock to sleep. Anything I can keep to hold on to those memories is worth it. Luckily we just received a VERY SPECIAL delivery last week. It was a package sent from the Tooth Fairy. My son and I opened the package to find a beautifully wrapped "Tooth Fairy Keepsake" book and a Chenille Tooth Pillow. My son is so excited to move on from the little plastic bag we used for his first teeth and on to this adorable pillow. The pillow has a small pocket that allows the Tooth Fairy to leave her gift in for the child. It is soft and made very well.


(Luckily we got the package just as we were leaving to go to some nice function. Otherwise my boy would be wearing his spider man costume which he rarely takes off! )
Now as for those teeth. The package also included a book in which you can easily add your child's teeth to. You simply put a little glue on them and push them into the book where the tooth belongs. Off to the side there is a place you can place the date your child loss their tooth. It really was easy and included a special poem sent from the Tooth Fairy. My son has to look in his book several times through out the day. He is so proud of his book and the two teeth he has already used to fill it in. I am so glad My son and I have the Tooth Fairy Keepsake book to hold on to those precious baby teeth. You can purchase the Tooth Fairy Keepsake book or pillow for a boy or a girl. You can even purchase both in a special set. This is something want to use for each of my children and I defiantly plan on purchasing one for my daughter as well.


The "Tooth Fairy Keepsake gifts" make great baby gifts or the perfect gift for a child who lost their very first tooth!

The Giveaway: The winner will win their own "Tooth Fairy Keepsake Book" (for boy or girl).
