{Handmade Holiday} Little Bird and babies in Green

Ashley is awesome! She is the creative and incredibly sweet momma of 3 girlies (and a boy on the way) behind Little Bird and Babies in Green. There is something to be said of a vendor that can not only tend to her booth, socialize with prospective customers, AND also do their craft at the boutiques all at the same time! I'm jealous...as soon as baby boy is no longer attached to me at every boutique I'm not sure what I'll do.

She makes the cutest crochet hats, hair accessories and even more! Make sure to follow her on Facebook,  tell her we sent you. And make sure to check out her shop too!

This year for Halloween, all my boys (dh, too!) dressed in Dr.Seuss costumes! I was the cat in the hat, hubby was the grinch, the bigger boys were thing 1 and 2, J was Horton and the baby was fish in the bowl. I contacted Ashley with my vision and she did a great job! I couldn't be more please with how they turned out!




Baby boys 'fish in the bowl' hat was just how I pictured it!



My hubby rocked the grinch hat! I'm thinking I'll be busting it out again for Christmas too!



I adore her coffee cup cozies, so much that I bought one for myself at the Queen Bee Market! Mine has  a mustache on it!

{Handmade Holiday}- covers, chevron, and chalk...oh my!

I LOVE that Stacy and I get to meet so many people while on our boutique adventures {selling AND spending}. I was talking to Andrea {Kutz, Paper, Scissors} at the last Penelope Lane Boutique we did back in September, I realized that we had been selling at a few Sew Funky markets with her and somehow managed to not strike up a conversation...sad. 


First off, I should tell you how awesome her set up was! A rainbow of chevron, crates 6+ foot high crates and chalkboards...LOVED all of it! But her products are just as amazing!



She seriously has these pillow covers in just about every color!


Her bags are fabulous! I love the chevron ones the most (shocking!)


I adore the chalkboard sign! I'm having fun leaving notes for my boys!

I couldn't help myself I got a pair of yellow and white chevron pillow covers, one coral chevron pillow cover, the love you because chalkboard and a pumpkin! 


Make sure to check out her facebook, shop and blog.

{Market Night} The Pleated Poppy

Not that she's needs a big introduction, but this week we are featuring Lindsey of The Pleated Poppy!

She was recently a vendor with us at QBM, and had so many great products that she had not 1 but count them 2 full booths of beautiful craftiness! If I didn't have a strict budget and a list of gifts to buy, I would've been buying myself a few things...the difficult task would've been to narrow down what to buy.


Perhaps the lovely Ipad cover (photo from http://shop.thepleatedpoppy.com/)


Or the fabulous chevron pencil/pen pouch...not sure how I missed this at QBM! I need one to hold all my colored pens for my calendar {yes I'm a little nutty with my planner...more on that later}. (This photo also from http://shop.thepleatedpoppy.com/)


I also love her chunky button hairclips. 


And I am really regretting not getting this super cute zippered pouch. I have a few pouches from various vendors, but I LOVE this fabric...teal and red my FAVE!


Because Queen Bee runs their own central checkout system (which is awesome), Stacy and I didn't have to stay the whole weekend. The down side to that is that we didn't even get to meet Lindsey. So next time, Lindsey, we will stop by and chat. And we wanted to thank you (and your followers) for stopping by our little blog or checking out our instagram pics. We can only hope to continue to grow and be like you one day.









As always, our 'Market Night' shout outs are our way of giving back to our favorite vendors (and there is a long list!) and we are in no way paid by the featured artist. We just love {and in some cases -stalk- them {via social networking sites}.

{Market Night} Queen Bee Re-cap {part 1}


Last weekend, we were among a fabulous group of creative women (I didn't see many men...not sure if any vendors were or not) Stacy and I have wanted to go and check out the Queen Bee market during the last few shows but with busy schedules, a long-ish drive, and dragging kids...we just haven't gotten a chance.

We were among the jealous when we heard that Snap conference was not only out of state, but also that the spring Queen Bee Market would be taking place in Utah and not in San Diego this year.  Why hasn't anyone invented a tele-porter so I can be in two places at the same time?!? Seriously, someone get on that!

We were super excited and nervous when we decided to take the plunge and apply to the Spring-ish market that wasn't originally planned for SD area. We weren't really sure what to expect other than pure awesome-ness! Well...I will let the pictures and links do the talking... Let's just say that there will be lots to talk about! I have many more pictures of vendors to share...so stayed tuned for {part 2}.

We can't wait for the next one!

{Insta-Friday}

Most of my life last week revolved around getting ready for Queen Bee and Relay for Life. It was an amazing weekend! Come Monday I was exhausted but it was a good exhausted!

1-New products-Growth chart Rulers! We posted these on our personal FB pages and sold quite a few to friends, so we packed them with us for Queen Bee too!

2-Ever feel like you're being watched? I had that feeling a LOT last week as I was busy painting up more of our very popular Peg dolls.

3-After a long few weeks of working hard the Bubbas' mommas needed a reward!

4-I've told you before that we LOVE to shop at the boutiques. I was really good last time. But this time I scored gifts for my two nieces, a friend of mine and a few cute things for me. (links will be posted on my -day late- market post.

1-During a dinner out to celebrate boy #1 and my mother in laws birthdays, baby #5 found us all Boeing and provided his (and our) entertainment.

2-My boys #2 & #3 with their Relay buddy.

3-Enjoying a morning with boy #4 at the park before our Stroller Strides workout.

4-I don't know a lot about cares, but vintage cars are awesome! I was lucky enough to have set up an amazing set of fathers day shoots for some clients (and myself)
