blue corduroy

my new friend, emily, has just started an etsy shop called blue corduroy, selling her amazing crocheted visor hats. she was one of the vendors at my house last week and she did really well. i had to try really hard to restrain myself from snagging one of her great hats. they are super comfy and soft, and the shape is really flattering. and her prices are great. so far she only has infant and child sized hats available, but keep checking back for the adult ones, too. and she also make the most amazing children's clothing from thrifted linens - so fun! so go check her out and tell her i sent you!

crayon rolls

crayon rolls are now in the shop!


order quickly to get them by christmas, or for birthday gifts throughout the year. they are $15 each and have 16 little pockets that include crayola crayons. each roll is finished off with a coordinating ribbon tie closure.

and speaking of christmas... i have a little gift for you all. i had a boutique at my house last wednesday, which was super fun - filled the house with food, friends, and great crafty goodness - but i forgot to blog about it ahead of time to invite all the locals. so here's my gift/peace offering: enjoy 15% off your entire order anytime from now through the end of the year! i can only guarantee orders in time for christmas if they are ordered by the 15th of december, but a little after may still have a good chance of making it, just no guarantee. when you are checking out, enter the coupon code holidays to get your discount.

superhero capes

i've been making these capes for quite awhile now as gifts for all the little super heroes in our life. they also work great for little girls - both my girls have one and so do many of their friends and cousins.

i am now taking custom orders on these. they can be just about any color, you can choose 2 colors - one for the inside, one for the outside. i'll do a custom monogram and we can talk about any other little details you're interested in. each cape is $35 plus $3.50 for shipping. email me for details at thepleatedpoppy@gmail.com.
