Summer is raring with some of the hottest fashions and trends in jewelry.  Every gal knows, that jewelry is a must when it comes to accessorizing your wardrobe and the finding the perfect piece can offset and pop your whole look.

Take a look at these pendants, created by SoCalKnotty (Beadazzle Jewels.) They are bright, colorful and perfect for Summer!  These exquisite pendants contain tons of small beads, all in a tribal style pattern.

I absolutely love the orange and tan pendant that I received from SoCalKnotty. Let me tell ya...the photos don't do these pendants justice!  They are absolutely beautiful in person and when I first laid my eyes on this pendant - I was in awe!

Beeswax Candles from Michigan - TMHamiltons Etsy Shop

There's nothing more inviting than walking into a room filled with aromas and scents.  When I come home from work, or even after a short outing, I am always invited by welcoming and warm scents when I arrive home.

I'm not hard to please....as long as my house smells clean and there's some sort of candle or wax burning, I'm happy.  But...to have a candle that is totally clean smelling, without a very strong fragrance that can sometimes leave people saying, "That's too strong," or "I'm getting a headache", means more than anything.

Beehive Candle (don't you just love this tissue paper!)

TMHamilitons Etsy shop has these very very cute beeswax candles.  They are 100% beeswax that comes from Michigan and each one is created and hand poured with care.  The candles contains a cotton wick and I found that these beeswax candles has no artificial color...just natural and a very nice clean smelling aroma.  When it's not burning, the scent of the beeswax candle reminds me of a mixture of honey and almond, but it's not too strong...just subtle.

The stars are floating star beeswax candles and I love this little acorn candle! 

Tricia is the owner of TMHamiltons Etsy Shop and any questions you may have about the beeswax candles, she will be more than glad to help.  Not only does she offer beeswax candles, but you will also find wood works and melt and pour soap bases.  

This is my favorite!!

I couldn't wait to burn my Pine Cone Beeswax Candle

Baby Boy Dressed For Dinner Bib/Burpcloth

If you have a newborn, toddler or infant, you know how important it is to always have extra burp cloths and bibs on hand.  These are things that you will always need, whether you are a brand new parent or a mom-to-be.  You can never have enough burp cloths and bibs, as it seems that every time you feed your little one, or every time your toddler grabs their sippy cup, there are bound to be spills, drools and accidents.

This adorable burp cloth is hand made by BorgmannsCreations on Etsy.  It is a soft flannel bib with a terry backing and made to be absorbent to your baby's drooling, as well as during feeding.  BorgmannsCreations offers the bib as a set, with a burp cloth or as individual pieces.  You can choose to order just the bib, burp cloth or both. 

The design of the bib is on blue flannel (but you can choose your color of bib) and has thread colors of brown and peach.  The bib is 13" overall in length, with 7 1/4" from neck to bottom and 8 3/4" at the widest point.  The bib is machine washable and can be tossed in the dryer on low setting.

This bib is perfect for your little guy!  Dressed for Dinner is embroidered across the bib with a brown teddy bear embroidered in the middle.  Such a cute and adorable bib for baby showers, birthdays or just because!  I love how soft and well made this burp cloth is.  

Diane is the owner BorgmannsCreations store on Etsy and she has over 200 items in her store.  Some of her items include: Burp cloths, bibs, graduation handkerchiefs and hand towels for bride and grooms, weddings and more!

Go check out BorgmannsCreations on Etsy.  There are so many neat and unique items in her store.

Teal Chevron Shopping Cart Cover for Baby

Ok...how many of you have heard of a shopping cart cover for your baby?  Anyone?  Well, I never knew these gems existed until I started shopping around for my step-daughter's soon-to-be baby.  Who ever came up with the idea of a shopping cart cover, for a baby, was a genius!  I mean, these can be used as a soft padding for a newborn, it can prevent having to set your baby in a germ-y shopping cart and they're very stylish!

I had a chance to check out and review BumbleBaby's shopping cart cover.  BumbleBabyLLc is an Etsy store, that features, not only this adorable and fashionable shopping cart cover, but other cart covers as well in many color choices.  This shopping cart cover came packed into a small matching Chevron bag.  At first, I thought I was going to just open the bag and take out the cover...Nope!  The bag is actually connected to the shopping cart cover, which prevents you from losing the bag if you need to store the cover away.

The color of this shopping cart cover is teal, in color and has the Chevron design...very popular these days.  You can't go wrong with a Chevron pattern.  They are available in tons of colors, both for baby boys, girls and neutral.  The area of the cover where your baby sits, is made of Minky...another popular fabric that is used in baby items.  It has a soft feel to it and has these well-known 'bumps' in the fabric.  Minky is known to have a pretty generous stretch to it.

The shopping cart cover also has two openings for your little one's legs to go through and a slot opening in the back of the cover, for the seat belt to go through.  This cover fits nice and comfortable inside the shopping cart seat area and has just the right amount of padding, for your little one to stay comfy.  REMEMBER... This is all hand made by Amy, over at BumbleBabyLLC at Etsy.  If you want a different color minky fabric for your cart or a different color chevron pattern, just ask Amy. She will be more than glad to accommodate you!  She can also add two extra leg openings, that is great if you have two children.

I love the gray trim with the teal Chevron.  These two colors work really well together and do not clash.  The shopping cart cover is plenty big for a shopping cart and allows for extra coverage around the seat.  This would make for the perfect AND unique baby shower gift or even a Christmas gift.  They are totally different than what you would see at most baby showers and I'm sure, that this would be a hit with the mom-to-be!  These can also be used in restaurant high chairs!

Go check out BumbleBabyLLC on Etsy, to see all the shopping cart covers they have to offer!

Blue and Gray Knit Baby Blanket by Made By Mandii123

Warmer weather will soon be on it's way.  We have already begun to have some pretty nice temps, some days, reaching mid 70's.  Although cooler weather may be off on it's way out of here, we will still see a few cold or cooler days yet to come.  And just because it's starting to warm up, doesn't mean you still can't break out those blankets, especially the light ones.  I can tell you for a fact, there are times where it's cooler inside my house, than it is outside...mainly because my house does not face the East or West, for the sun to come into my living room.  This is when I find me a light blanket.

If you are fortunate enough to still have a little one, expecting a baby or have a new grand-baby, this blanket shown here will make for the perfect light cover for your precious one. This blanket is created, by hand, by Mandii.  Mandii has an Etsy store, MadeByMandii123 (I love Etsy!), where she sells a lot of her creations.  This blue and gray knitted blanket is one of the softest, hand made blankets I've felt! It feels heavenly and is the perfect size for your newborn.  It feels so cuddly, warm
and the colors are great for any baby's room.

The hand made blanket, by Mandii, is approximately 30'" x 38".  Mandii has other great items in her Etsy store as well.  Looking for something for an older child?  What about something for yourself?  Mandii has some cute crocheted and knitted hats that are perfect for finishing off your winter wardrobe and style.  She also has crochet hair bows, crochet caterpillar toy and crochet and knitted sports hat.  To check Mandii out on Etsy and don't forget to check out this ultra soft blue and gray blanket!

Newborn Knitted Hat by Grannie K - 0-3 months

It seems like now days, that the necessity items for newborns have come a long way.  No longer do we see newborns coming from the hospital in their gown or their first little outfit, but now we see newborns with fashionable caps, hats, booties and more.  I love to see a newborn in cute knitted hats.  Knitted hats or caps can be simple and cute to extravagant knitted animal hats, featuring owls, bears and puppies.

This cute little newborn hat, seen here, is by Swaddlemesnugly by Grannie K, on Etsy.  I love shopping Etsy because you will find many many hand made items that are not only unique in their style, but cute, adorable and very much affordable.  Etsy owners work very hard to create and craft their masterpieces.  They usually work one on one with their customers and are usually a one to three person team.  A lot of love goes into their work and same goes for Swaddlemesnugly by Grannie K.

This yellow knitted hat, by Grannie K, is for ages 0-3 months, perfect for newborns coming home.  The material is a washable acrylic knitted yarn that is very soft.  The knitted hat is very durable and very well made (you can tell Grannie K takes pride in her work.)  The knitted hat measures 12"-14" circumference and is knitted in the round to prevent any bulky seams that may irritate your newborn's head.  The soft feel of this adorable knitted hat in my hands ensures me that this hat is just right for the newborn.  It's a very warm and the lemon yellow is perfect for both genders.

This cute and adorable knitted hat is available in several colors: baby blue, grape multicolor, lemon yellow, mint green, lollipop multi, raspberry multicolor, baby pink and blue-white multi. If you don't know the gender of your baby just yet, the mint green and lemon yellow are the way to go.  The other colors are perfect for either a boy or girl.  

A Little About Grannie K 

Grannie K is a retired wife, proud mother and devoted grannie. Sewing swaddle blankets for her grandson gave back the pleasure in creating her own hand made items that are not only fun, but sweet.  
The name of her shop, SwaddleMeSnugly began when she realized, after reading Dr. Karp's book, how important it was to have a large square, single layer, breathable swaddle cloths.  She began making some cotton flannel ones, Snug Softly - Happy newborn...

Check out Swaddlemesnugly on Etsy and check out all the items that Grannie K has. Every few months, she is adding something new.
