Cute Handmade Bows

Between all my couponing, I'm really funny about supporting home businesses. I like to give my money to the little guy, and really don't like buying from China.

I picked up these bows for my daughter's 4th birthday, but set the package aside and she saw pink and grabbed. She won't let me take them out of her hair now, so I wanted to take a moment to spotlight the bows and the wonderful lady who makes them. Again, I'm breaking my rule about posting pics of the girls, but it's worth it for this sweet etsy shop.

Aren't they beautiful! The two beautiful handmade bows AND the sweet necklace were only twelve dollars. The only problem is now she doesn't want to take them off for nap time.

If you've got little girls to buy gift for, please check out CrownofBows Etsy Shop for sweet, handmade, and original gift items.

The Shoe Addiction- It comes early

It's the size of a Flintstone shaped pre-school foot. This week, a pair of leopard print felt Mary Janes slipped right through that chink and landed squarely on my daughter's feet.

OOOOOHHHHHH, I LOVE them!!! She cooed. Bright blue eyes staring up at me. "Mommy, they are SOOOO cute." And cute really isn't the word.

Adorable. That it.

Damn things don't come in an 8 1/2, either. So sad.

But who am I kidding? I wouldn't BUY them for myself, even if they did. I'd gaze longingly at them, consider the fact that there are about 800 other things we could do with that money, and move on. For the baby? Natch. Put 'em in the cart. No second thought required.

And to see her little face as she wiggles her feet?
Priceless.
