Friday Feature!! GIVEAWAY!!

Today's Friday Feature comes to us from a cute little shop by the name of...

The Baby Bird Shoppe

These cute little booties are a must have!! I LOVE them!

So lets hear from the creator:
My loving hubby Jon and I were married June 25th 2009. Our little Alice arrived January 2011 and she is the love and light of our lives.

My sewing experience began when i was little using my moms sewing machine as a kitchen for my barbies and it went from there. I took a lot of sewing classes growing up and would easily get bored making the same thing (pillowcase, apron, pajamas, and quilt block.)

I started making skirts, altering my shirts, making costumes, revamping costumes, becoming a costume seamstress for my high school plays, and even making my own senior ball, art ball, and prom dress just cuz i felt like it and not cuz i couldn't go out and afford one.

I find fun, joy, and solace in sewing. It is my passion and its where i can get a lot of thinking done without paying too much attention.

About her cute shop:
I must confess that a lot of my sewing projects lately have been inspired by my sweet baby girl Hairbows, dresses, and shoes OH MY! ha ha i guess having a girl does that to you.
Welcome to The Baby Bird Shoppe. All of my baby shoes are lined with cotton quilted by yours truly. For those sweet little feet I use a wide variety of fabric for my shoes and fabulous embellishments. I Make low quantities of each item, so each item is unique in its own way and one of a kind! I work very hard to offer beautiful products at a reasonable price. I strive for every detail to be stunning, you and your baby will sure be the talk of the town while wearing The Baby Bird Shoppe Shoes. I know my little girl is =)

Feature Friday and GIVEAWAY!!!

And today's feature is...

1.Tell us a little about yourself (why you started your company, who you are)
My name is Lori McKee, and I'm from the beautiful city of Portland, OR. I'm primarily a graphic designer with my own business, which I love, but often feel the need to get off of the computer and do something 'hands on' and less corporate style. I started doing these paintings in the winter of 2009, when I needed some artwork for my own very white and empty walls. I couldn't find much artwork that I liked, and could afford, so I figured, why not make my own? After posting photos of my creations on my facebook page, friends saw them and encouraged me to try selling on Etsy. I was a bit nervous, but thought it sounded like fun, so I made a few paintings and jumped right in. After about a week, I had my first sell, and I was hooked! I loved the excitement and thrill of seeing how much other people liked my work and how they responded to it.

2. Tell us about your items in your shop
My shop is primarily filled with original paintings, and prints and cards made from those paintings. At one point I decided to try selling my jewelry creations on Etsy as well, but quickly discovered the jewelry market was already very saturated, and that I'd prefer to stick to painting. There are however a few random pieces of jewelry still floating around in my shop. One of my favorite parts about having a shop on Etsy, is the custom orders that I receive. I've met some wonderful people this way, and I love creating a piece that fits perfectly in their space.

Beautiful!!
Silhouetted birds play amongst flowers ranging in color from a rich dark velvety pink, to a light cherry blossom. The birds are painted in a deep maroon with a hint of eggplant in them. The background damask pattern adds a subtle elegance to the image. This piece will bring a romantic, and mature sense of nature to your space.

I love these colors together!!

Friday Feature and FREE SHIPPING!!!!!

Today's Friday feature comes to us from:

I absolutely am in LOVE with these cute cuddly creatures! They are a must have! I will definitely be grabbing one for my next baby!


So let's hear a little bit about the owner:
I have been married for one year to my amazing husband, Matt. I will be starting my second year of teaching elementary school this fall. I have learned to love sewing and quilting because I have a wonderful mom who introduced me to how much fun it can be.

A little bit about her items:
I have always seen kids carrying around blankets that are too big for them, they trip on them, drag them, and get them dirty. I also noticed how little kids love stuffed animals. What a great idea to put those two child favorites into one soft CUDDLY CRITTER.

So let's take a look at her super cute items!!

These super soft blankets measures approximately 28" x 36" and are a perfect size for a newborn and will last well into the toddler years! It is great for the crib, stroller, car seat, play mat, anything you can think of.

Her super cute and cuddly animal blankets! The blanket measures 18 inches and the stuffed animal is 10 inches(they head arms and torso on the top of the blanket, and legs at the bottom). This is the perfect size for your little ones to carry around with out tripping, and also great to cuddle with.

Now through Monday she is offering FREE SHIPPING on ALL orders! Just enter the coupon code:
CUDDLY12
at time of checkout to take advantage of this great deal!!
