APPLE & IVY

At Apple & Ivy we have 24 different 100% silk designs that are featured on several products including neckties, bow headbands, flower headwraps, flower headbands, flower hair clips and bow hair clips. Mix and match for the whole family!  Our father and son neck tie set is our premier product.  The set includes two identical silk ties, a tie for the father and a smaller version for the son.  It is very rare, if not impossible, to find children’s ties made from 100% silk.  We offer 4 different tie sizes for the son ranging from newborn all the way up to 13 years of age.  All of our son neckties are fastened in the back with a clasp. Easy on and easy off! They’re far safer for parents that don’t want a traditional tie tightening around their child’s neck if pulled. Our tie also has a side adjustable slide, allowing the elastic to be shortened or lengthened to achieve the perfect neck fit.

Spring 2010, new to Apple & Ivy, introducing our hand-stitched quilted appliqué line! Each extra soft ring spun cotton shirt is hand made with a hand drawn extra soft flannel appliqué piece(s) which have been fray treated and then thermally bonded to the shirt using a premium lightweight fusible webbing. Each flannel appliqué is then hand-stitched using France made non-fraying, non-divisible, highly mercerized DMC colorfast lustrous pearl cotton thread. All enclosed knots are securely fastened with thread end lock. The back thread work is covered with an extra soft fusible interfacing to ensure longevity and to provide a soft barrier between the stitching and your little ones soft skin.  Our high quality cotton shirts come in 9 different colors, 36 different designs and 8 different shirt sizes. We offer both short sleeve and long sleeve shirts.  Check out our website for more information: ww.appleandivy.com/shirts. Plane, dog, and turtle designs coming soon! Exclusive girl inspired designs coming early summer 2010!

Both our necktie sets and our hand stitched appliqué shirts make great presents.  Since the items can be given as a gift, we decided to package them accordingly.  Our neckties are packaged in a high quality clear top apparel gift box that is lined with green apple premium tissue paper. Our hair items and appliqué shirts are packaged in a brown Kraft paper apparel box that is lined with green apple premium tissue paper.  Both boxes are wrapped with light blue grosgrain ribbon and topped off with an “Apple & Ivy” card.  We go the extra mile to ensure the presentation of our product is the quality you deserve.  Since I am a mother of a son, I know how hard it is to find cute and unique things for your son(s).  Our neckties and appliqué shirts have been such a hit; I wanted to be able to offer them to other mothers.  I can certainly guarantee our neckties and appliqué shirts will be the hit at your child’s next play group or party.

LOUIE LOUIE BEBE

I love making dolls. It is a long process and my fingers constantly ache from the pulling and tugging and sewing, but I love to see how people react to my dolls. I am constantly thinking about new dolls, searching for better techniques, different material, but in the end, the beauty in making waldorf- inspired dolls is the simplicity of it all. A bit of natural wool roving, cotton thread, embroidery floss and a bit of mohair wool, and voila!~ A doll emerges.

I work at home, in a lovely, spacious studio adjacent to the children’s playroom, which is where quite a few of the dolls/toys end up, smudged in chocolate and bananas, after enduring some, err, affection from my 3.5 years old daughter, Sophia.  She likes to ‘test-drive’ my dolls and if I am not carefull, I will end up with nothing to sell. My 5 1/2 year old son, Luca, enjoys helping mom operate heavy machinery..He comes into the studio and we have little chats about my work and the machines, shipping stuff, packing stuff. He is into scissors nowadays, so he likes to see me cut fabric.

NOAH AND LILAH

My shop Noah and Lilah was born after I became pregnant with my daughter.  Knowing I was having a girl, I wanted to be able to make her cute little dresses that weren’t mass-produced in some factory in China, and I wanted sophisticated and fun clothes for her.  The fact that I can now make my son pants in any “theme” he’s currently enjoying (like airplanes) is a bonus!

Every piece is handmade by me in my home studio.  I also love custom orders.  Want a dress style in a different fabric?  Let me know!  Curious if I can make something you don’t see listed, such as a tie for your little guy?  No problem!  I love doing what I can to make my customers thrilled with their purchase.  I hope you love shopping with Noah and Lilah!

4PINKPAWS

My name is Debby Roberts and I live in Pennsylvania. I have recently combined three of my favorite pastimes into a business which brings me great joy. I love decorative painting and I love to paint flowers on leather.  My second passion is beading and I have tried many stitches and enjoy learning new ones every day. My third passion is polymer clay. Polymer clay is so versatile that I am continually amazed by the things that can be made from it.

I never tire of trying new projects and my favorite creations are jewelry and painted accessories. I like to paint onto a polymer clay base and then bead a chain and different combinations of embellishments for the jewelry. I hope you will enjoy looking at my finished projects as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

UNMIXED SIGNALS BY BIRDZ & BEEZ

Picture this scene… it’s late in the evening and the kids are in bed.  You have signed off of Facebook for the night and your NetFlix movie just ended.  Your wife (or husband as the case may be) looks up at you and smiles.  “I love you” she says.  You are in the mood for a little romance and now you are pretty sure that she is too.  Isn’t she?  She just smiled at you.  That’s a good sign, right?  Does that mean what you think it means?  Wait, maybe you should just ask.  I mean, you don’t want to not make your move if she’s waiting for you and you don’t want to do something stupid if she’s just not into it tonight.  Good grief, what to do.  WHAT?  TO?  DO? Ok, cool your jets.  Breathe.  We’ve got you covered.  How about some unMixed Signalz?  If mixed signals are confusing, then unMixed Signalz would be unconfusing, right?  So, what might unMixed Signalz be, because you are confused just by the name, we can tell.

A matched set of 8 oz. aluminum spray bottles with a clear signal of what is supposed to be happening here.  If she sprays the “Hot”, you’re in luck.  “Hot” is scented with Hot Chocolate Cake and that’s your light in the sky, Batman!  No clearer signal will be given, it’s all up to you now.  If you walk into the bedroom and smell CHOCOLATE, well there you go.  How much clearer can she (or we) make it for you?  But, on the other hand, you could be on the receiving end of the “Not”.  If you smell the scent of Cool as a Cucumber Melon, the just let it go.  No, no…  seriously.  Let. It. Go.  Tune the TV to ESPN, grab a beer and chase down your latest Golf Magazine.  She’s headed for a hot shower and then bed.  Neither of which are going to include you, unless you can sleep without snoring…  unMixed Signalz is the PERFECT gift for newly marrieds, newly parented, or new to putting in the effort for figuring out if tonight is going to be “Hot” or “Not”.  Good luck with that…

JUFFROUW JUUL

My name is Miranda and I am the mother of Julia 8 and Jonah 6!  Over 4 years ago I was a bit tired to see the same clothes in the shops again and again.  Even the brands which I really liked were always boring.  I had sewn a few shirts for Julia and I received many responses to it, including where people could buy the shirts so I thought i have to do something with this.  I suddenly had so many ideas and then I started my first webshop.

You can now expect new things almost daily on the site to keep it fun for me and more fun for customers, also now a lot of  customers no longer have to be disappointed that something is sold out.  The increasing number of shops with almost identical clothes keeps me motivated with any collection to stay different and to explore my creativity.  Looking for an original invitation to a party, or a banner for your shop or business card. …. also for these grafic things the possibilities are endless at Juffrouw Juul!  Take a look at the site and see what’s is possible!
