Feature-Mini 14: Mommy and Me Boutique

Next on the Feature-Mini docket:

MommyandMeBoutique

No hostess' accoutrement is complete without a stunning apron from MommyandMeBoutique! It is apparent how much Corline loves fabrics and ribbons--those materials influence and inspire her work. Her originality is obvious in every piece she creates!

If you ask yourself: "Why am I doing this?" Remember-- "It's your passion that drives you!"

Searching for the perfect gift...

... AND trying to buy handmade at the same time? Well, check out this hand-selected collection of Etsy goods--think of it as a pre-sorted treasury of Etsy Minis! You can find all sorts of great gifts for the holidays here! Look for our moms' store in Jewelry and don't forget to check out the Pets section!

There's a Monkey on My Back!

Ok, not exactly a monkey, more like a monkey hat! (Stuff on my cat again?) My mom made up this cute monkey pattern and then appliqued it onto a crocheted hat for kids. You can find it in the Etsy store. It's a bit large for me, Nemo; however it would be perfect for your young toddler! Please, adopt Mr. Monkey today! Help get this monkey off my back!

It's never too early...

... to start your holiday shopping! Or, at least, your holiday wish list!

Especially if you are interested in handmade goods! We cats love handmade catnip toys, handmade cat treats, etc... :)

First, you can create a holiday wish list on Etsy using your favorites. Then just send the link to all your friends and family!

Second, you can sign the buy handmade pledge, where you can commit to buying and receiving handmade gifts this holiday season. :)
