No More Bridal Flip Flops

Snow Drops - silk and linen women room shoes

Now if this is not a ringing endorsement I don't know what is...

I just opened the link and my little girl was right here, she put her little hand to her mouth and said," Oh my gosh, such pretty shoes, can you put them on my feet!"

How do you explain to a 2 year old that you can just take the things you see out of the computer, lol!

Lovely !!! Perfect wedding shoes by La La! Shoes I hate seeing those ugly flip flops the wedding party get for when their feet start to hurt, these would be perfect to slip into after a night of dancing! Heavenly!!!!

The description itself is heavenly,

The off-white shantung silk texture is perfectly matched with soft off-white pure linen on the inside, and makes a great contrast with the rough texture of the linen soles. Unique flower-like upper straps fasten with velcro, and soft light gray lambskin no-skid patches on the outsoles allow you to walk safely even on very slippery surfaces.

...and how about these for your flower girls!

Who Am I?

So you all know by this point that I love Etsy! I am not only a seller but a shopper. If I can find it on Etsy I would rather buy it there then in a store. It is so much fun to get that package in the mail, to see other sellers packaging and how they have branded themselves. Sometime it comes at just the right time when I needed a little joy in my day!

So my new favorite thing is to tell the seller to surprise me! Surprise me with the color, etc! I have also asked one of my favorite doll makers, Cynthia Toy of The Fairies Nest, to do a "Doll of The Month Club" for me but not tell me what I am getting from her selection of Storybook Dolls!!! BUT She is going to give me a hint/riddle each time.

So I decided to share the fun with you! Help me guess what it will be, leave a comment and tell me what doll it might be. Check out The Fairies Nest sold section to see other storybook dolls she has made.

Here is her hint:
This little mystery character was infamously disobedient and put not only her own, but the life of another member of her family in grave danger. Can you guess who she is?

Thoughts on the importance of natural toys for creative play

The Fairies' Nest says:
With all the over stimulation that children are exposed to in our modern culture they need the time and the tools to connect with the natural world in a peaceful and harmonious way. This is how we learn to think creatively and critically! Natural toys are a part of this because they allow for open ended play that requires imagination. And just getting kids outside is so important...let them make up their own games, build forts, and find treasures like acorn tea cups and magic stick wands. This is the stuff of magic!

Children's imaginations are incredible things. I love to see a child come alive, with a natural toy in their hands. I think a big set of natural blocks is one of the greatest toys a child can have - let them imagine a city or a fort or a tunnel. One day I'll write a book - Plastic is the death of the human race. (lol).
