january sponsor & giveaway: 19elephants

i am thrilled to be showing off my first ever sponsors today and giving away some goodies from them. be sure to check out both sponsor posts and enter both giveaways!


19elephants is a shop full of handmade deliciocity. it is run by beth, and sister is a jack of all trades. she is rocking the sewing, crocheting, hairbows and more. all at really great prices.

there is SO much variety in the things beth can make--and make WELL--, from scarves for me to lunchbags for the kids to a beanie hat that i am pretty sure jesse would look mega-fine in.

here are just a few of the things i would go bananas for (for reals, the variety of things in there is amazing) if i had my very own 19elephants shopping spree:

the crochet cowl with flower pin. seriously. i must have this. comes in lots of colors, but i love this oatmeal shade already.

no fancy lady tying of the scarf to make it look cool: it just sits there and is awesome all by itself. and i would use the removable flower pin (in my choice of color...i choose gray!) like a red light green light scenario. if i have the flower on, i'm feeling friendly and want to make new buddies, but then when i take it off i am cool and unapproachable. that's totally how it works, guys.

so help me, layla *almost* has enough "business in the front," to necessitate a bow and balance out her "party in the back" baby mullet. one of these adorable litte accents would make her terminator assaults even more darling. plus, people would know she's a girl when we dress he in judah's old sneakers and shirts. bonus!



this thing would give judah so much joy, running around, roaring (do crocodiles roar?) and taking big chomps out of everyone. i love his big googlie eyes and shiny white grill (the puppets that is...and judah's too). the fact that this is a hand made and not mass-produced toy would satisfy the hippie mother in me that would come out if only i fed her some quinoa.

  23. can you tell I skimmed both time through. yes?

    i blame you. the photos distracted from the words.

  24. Those no slip hair bows are serious. I love a baby hair bow. But I think the cowl would probably be my winner, mostly because I started knitting a cowl and then stopped (bad at knitting) but I still want a cowl!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I would either get the button cowl or the croched cowl with flower.

    A croched cowl was the one thing on my Christmas list that I didn't get!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Super cute stuff! I'd have to go with the cowl/flower combo. AND - I'd have to go with some sort of combo in the oatmeal/brown families as well - I wear so much brown - and my coat and vest are both brown. boring, but that's how I roll! :) thanks for the chance to win!

  33. #1 I could totally use that crochet cowl. My boss likes to keep it like a morgue in his office, therefore making my office like a frozen tundra in the Arctic. I have to wear a scarf everyday just so I can try to stay warm (that and a cup of tea helps too!).

  34. #2 I am now following you, well I ALWAYS am on Twitter! I never finished those scarves either. The mass that you made though is still very impressive.
