Reminiscent of a Simpler Time

Amy from My Vintage Blankie loves vintage, with a special fondness for vintage baby items.  Classic, nostalgic, and timeless but not trendy best describes the designs from My Vintage Blankie.  Her love of all things vintage - including 40s music and vintage china - is reflected in her home and her workspace.  She designs and creates beautiful new pieces that look vintage but have new quality and feel - she uses 100% all natural cotton. 

A favorite of mine (and others - check out the number of views!) is this personalized wall hanging, made from a heavyweight cotton flannel and measuring approximately 17"x24" in size.



 She has adorable heating pads filled with Spelt, blankies with ragged or knotted edges, pillow and bib sets, and even some great fuzzy booties!

 If you desire to give a gift of heirloom quality that can be loved for a lifetime, then consider something from My Vintage Blankie.

Aloha Bitty Bambu

Meet Taryn from Bitty Bambu.  She lives on a volcano in Maui.  Really.  Designing and sewing children's clothes, accessories, and personalized items while overlooking the beautiful island of Maui must be amazing!  She says that nature is an "inverwoven" part of the life that she shares with her husband and two children, and that nature inspires her creations and sewing artwork - which is evident in her shop.  

Bitty Bambu has many t-shirt designs which highlight some of natures greatest wonders - the sun, the flowers, the animals, the sea.  There are also many burp cloth designs, all in fantastic bright colors and fabrics, which seems to be her biggest sellers lately.  The personalized pillowcases provide a unique and customizable idea, with each letter popping in a whimsical font.

Remembering Emma


Welcome to Snanimals, where each shoe is handpainted with LOVE. 

Jane Perillo, founder and artist of Snanimals, is inspired by her children.  She handpaints each adorable little bug, animal, and character with the detail and creativity of a mom creating for a child.  Her creations provide Jane with a way to remember and honor her late daughter, Emma, and she believes that Emma lives on in every pair of shoes she creates.  In addition, Jane is creating for others something that is fun and practical and that children can wear every day.

The big sellers, according to Jane, are Minnie Mouse, Elmo, Cupcakes, and Ladybugs.  Jane enjoys the colorful ones, particularly the green and pink ladybugs and the cows.  Along with many different shoes to choose from, Jane also handpaints baby booties, onesies, bloomers, and totes.   


Jane's daughter, Anna, is a great and willing shoe model who makes it clear which ones are her favorites!  She prefers the sneakers, and she loves Elmo!  Anna has quite a shoe collection for a kid!  
   



Follow these links to hear more about her inspiration - her dear Emma.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ETSYBABY!!!



Dear EtsyBABY Mothers,


I hope that you had a wonderful day... a day filled with love and family and special memories that you will cherish all year long! I hope your day was filled with lots of hugs and kisses and special people telling you how much they appreciate you! And who could forget those darling handmade gifts of love from the smallest members of our families - those just can't be replaced!

We all made the journey to motherhood differently - early in life or late, easy pregnancy or not, fast labor or long, fussy baby or so very easy - but what we have in common are those special little people that call us MOM.

That simple little word (that sometimes you just don't want to hear one more time that day) brings with it responsibility, joy, love, sadness, fear... every emotion you can think of. But would you give it up for anything else in the world.... I know you wouldn't :)

Happy Mother's Day Mommas! It is a pleasure to know you and be a part of this wonderful team!!
