Featured Shop

Today's featured shop is Parker & Posie (formerly known as Little Jumping Beans).

Parker & Posie is the shop of a wonderful and super friendly mom named Jaimie. She sews and sells baby shoes. They're not just cute, but super functional! I absolutely adore the shoes that she makes! They stay on the feet better than any other shoe I've found. We're on our 3rd pair for my youngest now, and I just love them!

Here's a few samples of her cute shoes:

She even does personalized ones!:

See the cuteness?! She has options for soles, and for suede toes as well! How awesome is that?! :)

Here are a couple of our own product photos taken by Tammy Thomsen Photography that include some of Jamie's shoes (since my youngest lives in her shoes).

You can also purchase custom fitted crib sheets at Parker & Posie. Jaimie sewed me up a couple last year, and they are so well made! Far better than store bought and completely custom fabric (hello? Perfect matching nursery!)

Her products are superior quality and super adorable. She also has FANTASTIC customer service! You have to check out shop out for your little ones, and her shoes make the BEST baby gifts :)

Boys week was a great success! Thank you all for your support!

We are planning our next theme week for May 26 - June 3rd.... Still debating between a few themes. Let us know what you might be interested in:

A) Footwear Week(slippers, sandals, baby shoes, and garden shoes)
B) Character Week (Favourite tv/movie characters)
C) Accessories Week (purses, jewellery, scarves...)
D) Other.... (give us another idea)


Give us some feedback!! :)

Here's one more hat that I had tried to get done for this week. I finished it Sunday, but then couldn't find what I needed to get it on the computer and posted in time. I will pre-sale it soon (once we're caught up on orders):
