    Embroidered Baby Onesie with Patriotic Pride

    May 8, 2020 /

      Hand Embroidered Baby Onesie for Memorial Day or July 4 Add a special patriotic phrase to a baby onesie for Memorial Day or July 4 festivities. Sulky 12 wt.

    April 21, 2020 /

    Teddy Bears & Rainbows in Window Displays All across the world people are displaying Teddy Bears and rainbows in windows to offer hope and encouragement to people walking by, especially children, during this pandemic. Children are going on “bear hunts” and counting rainbows as part of scavenger hunts during walks wearing their masks. “How many rainbows and Teddy Bears can you count” has become a game, welcomed as both an activity and a distraction from the current isolation we’re all feeling. It’s especially fun if you have to really “hunt” to find the Teddy Bears and rainbows in windows! Teddy Bears are placed on windowsills, in bushes and peeking out…
