I wanted to share a couple of the wonderful handmade gifts that I purchased from fellow Etsians as gifts for my little girls for Valentine's Day.


The photo above on the left is of both an Elephant and Chilly Owl I Spy Bag from Baby Love Blankies. These toys were even better in person. The fabrics that Jaime used are so cute and soft, and yet durable too. I was a bit sceptical regarding the durability of the clear panel that you see the little trinkets through but both my girls, my husband, and myself were playing with the I Spy Bags thoroughly and Jaime made a believer out of me. Both of these I Spy Bags were custom orders as they have the letters of my girls' names in them and also Jaime made sure to make each bag contain the same trinkets (even based on my trinket preferences) so my girls wouldn't fight over them and so that they could play find the whale (or whichever trinket they were searching for). These bags are beautifully sewn and are sure to be favorite toys of ours for a very long time.

The photo above on the right is of the Big Sis & Lil Sis Lavender Bittie Co-ordinating Elephunkets Necklaces from EternalAutumn. These little lavender elephants are just adorable. The big sister necklace has the larger elephant and a purple tag that says, "Big Sis", and also a pretty purple bell flower bead. The little sister necklace has the smaller elephant and a purple tag that says, "Lil Sis", and also a pretty pearly star bead. The elephants have that fuzzy feel to them and they look so cheerful. My girls were so thrilled when they opened up their little presents and they wanted to wear their necklaces right away. This wasn't really a custom order, but Lara has done some custom orders for me before on both her beautiful jewelry and her magnificent aromatherapy pillows and she's wonderful to work with.
