A Perfect Pair made some adorable taggies. We ordered the robot and the little owl. It was $10 for both! The backs have that new 'minky' fabric and they are so soft. I have a problem with taggies when the crinkle interior is too stiff. Melissa has found the perfect type. It's just loud enough to make a nice sound for baby M, but it's not too stiff or loud. The stitching is very solid. M has been holding and chewing on his and they've held up beautifully.

The Abstract Bedouin is a local artist. This painting to the left is just one of over a dozen that I own. She runs regular giveaways (which I've won two!!!) Many of her proceeds go to the orphanage she supports
Helping Honduras Kids, which is awesome! She takes custom orders! She's done everything from nature scenes to name paintings. She does these great
mama trees. I can't rave enough!
Keona at
Noah's Ark Creations makes wonderful custom jewelry. Her prices are very reasonable and her products are wonderful. She also does beautiful memorial jewelry, which certain pieces having proceeds donated. This necklace is my family nest necklace. There's one "egg" for each of my kids. I love this and get many compliments on it! I also own two custom copper bracelets!
Over at
Ink Tree Press she sells adorably cute art work for a nursery or big kid bedroom. I got these letter cards for M's nursery. They hang very similar to the display she has. I love custom items, I love this vintage style she has. She has some great products. I love the ABC and 123 prints!
Last but not least is this great shop
Adoption Rocks. I've ordered this great bag and two stickers with the same logo. All proceeds from their products go towards their international adoption. I love to support others adoption funds, and this bag is awesome!
So there's a few of my favorite things right now. I have lots more to share, but I'm out of time at the moment. Take a moment to peek at these shops! I love supporting new endeavors and I love items that have love invested in them. The quality of these products, you can tell the makers really love what they do!
