Turnbow Designs : A Review & Giveaway!

I stumbled across this cute little etsy shop while I was browsing one day.
I'm not sure who was more excited, me or my girls looking at all the cute stuff!


Turnbow Designs is owned by Paige Turnbow.  Here is a little bit about Paige:

The youngest of three girls, I was born into a crafty home. My father built Pipe Organs for a living and did woodworking. My mother was a wonderful cook, sewer, and painter. I started making scrapbooks at age 12 and have fallen in love with every kind of craft I've tried.

I married the man of my dreams and I have the opportunity to stay at home with a beautiful little girl during the days. I love to craft during nap times and at night. Most things in my house are handmade and I've never made anything I wouldn't put in my own home.

After quilting blankets for everyone in my family, and having scrapbooked my life and others; I decided to share my talents with others. Therefore, we now have Turnbow Designs.
 
Here are some of the really cute things in Turnbow Designs shop on Etsy:
 
 
 
This personalized baby gift set is perfect for any gift or baby shower. This set includes 3 items of your choice in any arrangement (bib or burp cloth). These ultra soft burp cloths and bibs are the perfect size (approximately 9.5" x 14.5") to clean up all those little and big messes. All sets come with free name embroidery with your choice of font.







This bright crown is perfect for a little birthday boy, or everyday dress-up. The crown is made from eco-friendly felt and is machine stitched for extra durability. The crown is embellished with ribbon and jewels.

The crown measures 21.5" long and is 6" tall. The closure for the crown is adjustable (with velcro) to fit any child's head





 
 
This hand painted letter with wood name is a great addition to any room. Put it on a book shelf or hang it on a wall. This would make a wonderful shower gift, house warming, or birthday gift. Combine letters to spell out a name, initials, or anything you want. All uppercase letters are available A-Z.






Paige was also kind enough to send me a Crayon, Colored Pencil & Paper Wallet to review for her. How SWEET?


This wallet is simply adorable. The colors are SO bright and colorful, it was an instant hit with both of my girls. It is made very well, durable and with lots of love! The velcro opening is easy for the little ones to access all of the goodies on the inside.



The pockets for both the crayons & colored pencils are great! Each coloring utensil has a spot to go back in. So, if you are a bit OCD like me, this is a big plus! My girls loved pulling them out, putting them back in their spot and keeping everything nice & tidy for the next time.

The paper included is sure to go quickly once your toddler starts coloring his/her heart out when you go place but don't fret! It's easy to replace with a new paper pad! :)

This is also great for those of you having little ones starting Pre-K or Kindergarten... what a great time to practice tracing those letters! It's fun and they are learning at the same time... woohoo!


My girls were more than happy to grab this & go... they loved the fact that it was like a little 'pocketbook' for them to take along on trips. The handle was convenient for them to carry or put on their little arms. Just perfect!



I would HIGHLY recommend this product for little ones on the go. It's great for trips to a restaurant with the family to keep busy, send it with them to Grandma's for some fun or just sit down after dinner & play!

I give this 5 out of 5 stars!


Thank you, Paige for sending us this awesome wallet!
We LOVE it!

The Homemade Way - Giveaway!

Introducing....
Shop owner, Jennifer Boring started her business 15 years ago and it is filled with all sorts of sweet things! Here is a little about Jennifer:
I am a single mom of two rambuncious kids and enjoy my crafting time to keep my sanity. :) I started my craft business "The Homemade Way" 15 years ago. I have been making various projects to sell for 15+ years. I do crochet (many different items from clothing to dolls), cross stitch, embroidery, bake and draw. I am interested in a wide variety of topics. Nothing is too big or too little.
The Homemade way has that perfect "something" for your little one from hats to purses to dolls. Here is a just a small sample of some of the cute things Jennifer makes!
{Adorable hats!}
Check out these cute purses.. how can you not want one {for your little one, of course!}


Too cute!
Jennifer was so very kind enough to send this adorable Owl Purse to my girls.
I have to tell you, they LOVED it from the moment they saw it. It is so adorable.
The purse is very well made & you can tell a lot of love when into making it. It's sturdy enough for my 2-year old to drag it around the house so that must tell you something! She has put everything in it from silly bandz to pretend makeup to some play money and even insisted on taking with her to the store yesterday with Daddy. Needless to say, I don't think she will be putting it down for a while.
I love it because it's just so darn cute! It's a purse, which will hold all of the 'treasured' things Abbie wants to take with her but it's also neat because hello, it's shaped like an OWL! How orginial & unique?!

  
 The details of the purse are fabulous and make it realistic looking. As I said before, it is very well made and even hand washable if needed! We all know things get dirty with little ones!
 I would recommend this to any little one with a love for Owls... or even if they don't! It's the perfect 'back to school' gift as well! Have a special birthday or other ocassion coming up.. I suggest getting one of these cute homemade purses.. it's sure to be a hit!

And now for one lucky reader... A Giveaway!!
Jennifer is giving YOU a $15.00 gift certificate to spend in her shop The Homemade Way on Etsy. How can you win? It's easy!
