Vintage Pink and Gold Paper Straws for Baby Shower and Weddings-Set of 25

Every one knows, when you are planning for a wedding or baby shower, you must have everything order.  From the flowers, decorations, cake...even right down to the smallest details such as cups and straws!

These unique and shiny straws are by Glitter Saturday on Etsy.  Glitter Saturday was generous enough to send me these straws for my review, and I must admit, these straws are actually prettier in person!  You get a set of 25, ranging from shiny gold chevron, gold polka dots, pink with polka dots and stripes.  

The straws are very sturdy, probably more sturdier than your actual plastic straws.  I didn't want to damage any of them, but I did try to squeeze one, just to see if they would give or smash...you know...being made of paper and all! Well, to my surprise, they did not give, crush or bend at all!  Now, I didn't go out to try to destroy the straws, but it would take some effort to crush them.

These straws are perfect for decorating slim vases at a baby shower or wedding, party or any special occasion...great for the pink and gold princess themed party.  You can even distribute them out into individual cups, making your guests feel extra special with their own decorated straw!

These are fun little straws that will add flair to any party, but not only can they be used as drinking or decorating straws, but can also be used to make creative cake pops and crafts!  The straws are 7 3/4" long, food safe, eco friendly and sturdy and they come packaged in a cellophane bag.

I love how the metallic colors of the gold on the straws reflect in the light.  So glitzy!  If pink and gold aren't your colors, Glitter Saturday on Etsy has tons of other colors, ranging from Pink Lemonade (pink and yellow), Bumblebee (yellow & black), Gender Reveal (pink & blue), 4th of July (red, white & blue) plus tons and tons more.  

Glitter Saturday also has confetti.  No, now your ordinary shredded paper confetti, but confetti that are shaped like round discs and sprinkled with shiny glitzy glitter.  These, too, come in various colors!

Go check out Glitter Saturday and discover what all Shannon has to offer.  The name of her Etsy store says it all!

Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl for Crafts - by Southern Treasures MS

How many of you are familiar with the Cricut?  The machine that cuts and embosses vinyl, as well as other materials?  The machine, where you can cut monograms, designs and more?  Well, Although I'm not here to promote the Cricut (although I would have liked to have had that opportunity), today I had the opportunity to bring you HTV (heat transfer) vinyls, that are used with such machines.

These samples,  that you see here, are from Southern Treasures MS on Etsy. Southern Treasures was kind enough to send me a 4 sheet sample of the vinyl, that is used with the Cricut and other like machines.  These HTV vinyls normally come in a 8.5 x 5.5, but occasionally they use 6 x 6.  These HTV vinyls are made of waterproof vinyl, with a 3 year outdoor durability.  They are printed by using a professional eco solvent process and can be used for any project you normally use vinyl on.

Since this HTV vinyl has the plastic backing, instead of the paper backing, this particular sample you see here is 3 mil for the backing.  The HTV vinyl does not have a carrier sheet, therefore, you will need to use a carrier or cover sheet when applying heat and transferring.  Here are the instructions, on how to use Southern Treasures vinyls.

     * Cut desired image (do not mirror), weed and apply transfer tape.  Remove backing,
          place on garment, face up and cover with cover sheet and press.

       *  Preheat garment for 2-3 seconds with a temp of 320 F. for 15 seconds. 

       *  Use medium pressure and wait approx. 5 seconds, then peel.

Southern Treasures has many colors, styles, designs and patterns to choose from.  They have a wide variety that range from glitter vinyls to HTV printed vinyls with plastic or paper backing.  Their samples come in several sizes, ranging from samples (as you see here) to 12 x 36.  Go check out Southern Treasures MS for all the available options they have.  I love looking at all the different colors, sparkles and patterns.  It's so hard to choose from!  Below are some of the samples and vinyls Southern Treasures MS have.  And these are just a few out of the 400+ designs they have!

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!
