Sweet Shoppes: Handcrafted Children’s Clothing
November 13, 2008 by Emily · 4 Comments
How did I ever develop such an obsession with beautiful little shoppes?! ;) The two I’m going to highlight today really make me happy. I simply loved the pure awesomeness of their handmade children’s clothing and found shoppe pictures I adored left and right.
The first favorite on my list today is Hullabaloo Boutique. This shoppe displays and sells fine, handcrafted children’s boutique clothing and accessories.
Highlights:
-
Little Lady of Autumn ~ warm and funky little cloche made with herringbone and brown baby corduroy with brown and dark red flowers.
-
Star Bellies Long Sleeve Tee ~ White long sleeve tee with a rust colored corduroy star applique atop a circle denim applique.
At Leila and Ben, get ready to be a little crafty. This shoppe specializes in handmade sewing and crochet patterns for modern kids, that way you can keep the Leila and Ben style, yet you can customize the fabric and yarn colors to your preference.
Since you will find only patterns at this shoppe, it’s a great place to start if you are looking for a new sewing project or want to handmake your children’s clothing. Each pattern is original and will come to you as a PDF document.

Fun Halloween Features
October 20, 2008 by Emily · 2 Comments
Over the weekend, my family and I went to a witch-palooza event at a little boutique village near our house. It was so much fun to see all of the shoppes and boutiques decorated for Halloween with treats and funny-looking witches. Likewise, many of the online shoppes I have come across lately are also ready for Halloween and I wanted to display some of their work today.
My first feature is from Panjo Kids “Super Capes for Super Kids!” Now what would Halloween be like without a few good capes to play with?
These spooky soaps from Twin Birch Bath and Body are so adorable. I love the rubber ducky pumpkin and witch. There are even more to choose from…Franken~duck, Mummy~duck, Ghostly~duck, & Dracu~duck. Wouldn’t they make perfect party favors? You can even customize the labels.
Tutus are perfect for all occasions and Halloween is no exception. At FaBOWlous, you can create the prettiest costume ensemble complete with poofy clips, bows and a custom made tutu for your little girl.
You can’t go wrong with this sassy little feature from Dainty Couture. Sturdy and personalized with your initial, this little black bag is all ready for to go for trick or treating.
And finally, FALL in love with these cute Trick or Treat and Boo Signs from My Lil’ Doodlebugs.
Sweet Shoppe: Cubs Kids Wear
October 6, 2008 by Emily · 4 Comments
“Handmade with love” Cubs Kids Wear clothing for children and babies is handmade using only the finest quality materials. This shoppe offers a variety of fun accessories - like tutus, capes and princess wands.
I loved the princess wands - these magical must-haves are handmade from scratch to match your tutu and can be designed as creatively as you want. They would go along perfectly with Cubs Kids Princess Party Packs ~ where you can design a set of tutus for your guests and the party girl gets her tutu for free.

Miss Priss Tutus for Princesses
August 7, 2008 by Emily · 5 Comments
Delightful is the first word that comes to mind. I have always loved tutus. When I was younger I was a Princess Ballerina for Halloween three years in a row! (My mom and dad are both understanding and wonderful). Although those years have passed, my love for tutus hasn’t faded. Oh no. There is always a reason to have a tutu close by. They are perfect for photography, costumes, dress up and play.
{Miss Priss Tutus ~ Starting at just $20!}
Amaze your little girls with a tutu she’ll never forget (and will want to keep until she’s married) with Miss Priss Tutus. These pretty little tutus are at the top of my favorite list! They are celebrity endorsed, handmade and make for endless hours of fun. The poofiness of the tulle and splashy color accents seem to make any girl feel like a princess.
All that you have to do now is to try and pick your favorite…
