If you’ve poked around this site a bit, it should come as no surprise to you that I love very classic children’s clothing. That’s not to say that I always get away with making my kids wear it (It is sometimes expensive and my daughter has entered the age of Bieber and Justice. Sigh.) but [...]
I adore a beautifully hand-smocked little girl’s dress. Nothing sweeter. For The Love of Smocking is a shop on Etsy that has some of the most classic smocked dressed I’ve seen in a long time. Nothing kitschy or theme-y. Just great fabric (lots of floral and calico), puff sleeves, peter pan collars and traditional smocking. [...]
Yesterday, I posted some great red, white & blue kids’ clothing I came across on Etsy. Good choices for fun Fourth of July wear. Here’s a few more! Ogekko, $28 at etsy.com GaGa’s Baby Designs, $30 at etsy.com Pink Petunia Pearl, $15 at etsy.com
In honor of the Memorial Day holiday and our nation’s troops, present and past, many kids are sporting the red, white and blue this weekend. And I know that many more will break out their patriotic clothes for Fourth of July weekend as well. There’s more to choose from than the flag t-shirt at Old [...]
My husband has always been a bit of a shopper. Until Harold’s closed last year, one of his favorite spots to shop was the clearance rack there. Always had a few XL gems for a good price. And then he went through a little Nordstrom shirt-shopping phase too. A Von Maur opened near us, good [...]
It is time. The Halloween catalogs have started arriving at my house. My kids are changing their minds about “what they will be” for Halloween on a daily basis. And, unfortunately, every costume idea so far seems to be mass-produced crap. Can’t we find something better? And off to Etsy, I went. Here are a [...]
Lindy over at the appropriately-named Etsy shop “Crafted by Lindy” was kind enough to become a Facebook fan of Sassy and George the other day. So, I wandered over to her shop to poke around a little. She’s got some really cute little animal prints for a child’s bedroom, playroom, or bathroom. They are whimsical [...]
And……I’m back. Exhaling after the first week of school for my big kids. The little ones won’t start until after Labor Day. But, schedules (even for half of the kids) are good at our house. So, I’m back. In church this morning, I was thinking that my oldest will make his First Communion this school [...]
So, I was poking around on Etsy earlier. As usual. And I decided to go through my “Favorites” folder and clean it up a little. And I came across John W. Golden’s Etsy shop. I had bookmarked it ages ago when I started thinking about what to do for my 2 1/2 year old twin [...]
We haven’t shown any hair bows or hair clips or other hair-type accessories around these parts lately. I came across these cuties in mah travelz around the internets today. They’re over at Emma Lee’s Boutique on Etsy. (Semi-unrelated aside: Etsy and I are experiencing a tough time in our relationship this month. She keeps posting [...]
