You can’t help but feel colorful when you are sporting a great bow or clippies. Check out all the great hair accessories from our very own A Girl and Her Bow.
Annalee and Me makes some of the best variety of items. From mouse pads, fun tees, and even darling little doll dresses.
You can’t go wrong with The Barry Patch. Great kitchen products, scented melts, and essential oil mixtures for everyone. I have a few of her oil rollers and they all are amazing!
These bright and fun bags by D84 Designs will make your little one stand out everywhere you go. She offers personalization on all her backpacks, lunch boxes, and bags.
Tiny Crafts offers some of the best educational products and has fun keychains too. Crayon keepers, puppets, and masks along with a variety of other products.
Do you ever want to just make your own tee? Scrump Stitches has great heat transfers that you can get personalized as you wish and put on your own shirt. And let’s not forget those fabulous bows she makes too! Wow!
Are you planning a vacation to Disney and need a totally unique tee? Magical Memories by Jessica is your girl. She does all her applique work from start to finish. Her talent shows through in every design she makes.
I could gush on & on about the quality of work you will get from Lace and Sneakers but I would fill up the whole page about it. All I can say is take a look at her shop and know that if you order an item from her, you are getting your money’s worth. I personally purchased a dress from her and show everyone how amazing her workmanship is! (and seriously, how cute is that Raggedy Ann & Andy dress?)
Kit Kat Bows & Clothes has some of the most unique little tees and always has the option to have a matching bow with it. Go check out all the great sayings she has.
And last but definitely not least…..you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous piece of work from Faye Malone Design. She offers super unique bags for teens and women, gorgeous boutique sets for kids, and has a great line of craft vendor aprons for any of you sellers who are getting ready for all those summer markets.
