I'm LOVING how these vintage inspired yo-yo's turned out! They're so sweet! I have them all piled up on my craft desk, and its so bright and cheerful. It reminds me of a stack of macaroons! They'll be a perfect stocking stuffer for your little one! I only have 8 for the holiday season, so go grab your favorite color right now in my shop! ;)

New Items in my Shop!

I finally got some items listed in my shop again! It took longer than I had HOPED for because for awhile there we were computer-less (I KNOW!!!). Both of our laptops broke (I despise laptops) but we replaced them with a desktop and I'm back in business now!

Check out the posts below for pictures of the handmade toys in my shop right now!
Or just visit my shop! ;)

Right now I have the oldies but goodies, but I'm still working away on my new items. So check back often, they should be up in the next week!

Wooden Block Picture Puzzle w/ Vintage Fairy Tale Illustrations

These beautiful blocks will be the perfect present for your charming child! They can create 6 different vintage fairy tale illustrations, one on each sides of the blocks. There are 12 blocks total, each measuring 1.5"x1.5", and the finished picture is 4.5"x6".

Each little picture square (all 72 of them!) is perfectly cut, hand placed, then sealed to prevent wear and tear. The edges and corners of each block are all lightly sanded to protect tiny fingertips. This toy will stand up to lots and lots of happy playing! :) Its sure to become an heirloom treasure for generations to come!

The blocks come stored in a cotton drawstring sack with a matching grosgain ribbon to secure them. These blocks would also make a great baby shower gift!
(They would be so cute set up on a nursery shelf!)



All of my wooden materials are made in the USA, and all materials used are non-toxic and acid-free. Natural, safe toys are important to me as a Mom!


Magnetic Princess Fairy Tale Paper Dolls

These pretty magnetic paper dolls will keep your own little princess enchanted for hours! There are over 40 different pieces which come enclosed in a tin with a hot pink rhinestoned crown on the front. There are 6 different dolls with hundreds of different outfit combinations and 4 different background scenes to play with!

Each doll stands at 2 inches high and the tin is 4x4 inches, which makes it the perfect size for on-the-go play! (It would also be the cutest stocking stuffer!) Since the pieces are magnetic they stay in place better than regular paper dolls. My daughter loves to play with hers in the car or during church!

This toy will last through lots and lots of happy playing! :)

Includes the following:

~ 1 rhinestoned metal tin
~ 6 pretty dolls
~ 7 different dresses
~ 5 sparkly crowns
~ 3 princess hats
~ 9 colorful flowers
~ 8 little wall hangings
~ 3 animal friends (including the Frog Prince!)
~ 1 pink pumpkin riding coach
~ 4 different backgrounds: outside the castle, by the pond, in the meadow, and inside the castle bedroom




Got little money, but lots of time? Cut the pieces out yourself and save $5.00! This order will come with 1 full sheet collage of the images, plus the rhinestoned tin which already has 3 of the 4 scenes sealed onto it. The entire sheet is also sealed to protect against wear and tear. I then embellish all the pictures with glitter glue. All you would do is cut out the playing pieces! (Be forewarned- it takes good eyesight to cut out these tiny pieces!) ;)

Wooden Lacing Cards w/ Vintage Pictures!

Introduce your children to sewing! I loved playing with lacing cards like these when I was a child, and now my kids love to play with them, too!

There are 5 wooden lacing cards, each with a different vintage illustration, measuring 3.25" x 4.5". Each hole is drilled and re-drilled for the cleanest cuts. The edges and corners are sanded to protect tiny fingers. Front and backs are sealed to protect against wear and tear. They come packaged in a small cotton drawstring pouch that ties with a pretty ribbon.

This is a perfect travel toy! Its great for situations where children need to sit still and be quiet, like at church or the doctor's office! Its also a really fun stocking stuffer!

Included:
~ 5 wooden sewing cards
~ 1 plastic sewing needle*
~ 1 string
~ 1 drawstring bag








The cards come stored in a cute cotton drawstring bag with matching polka dot ribbon!
(the boy set has a different fabric!)
