GIVEAWAY: BabyClay

Rebecca Thygesen is the founder & artist behind BabyClay. Once a pilot, Rebecca's hobby of sculpting clay & creating unique accessories has now become her full-time job. She says the name was born of the fact that she is working on her business in order to become financially stable so she & her husband can start a family. What I love most about her accessory designs is that each one is a hand-sculpted work of art. The Bride's White Rose is a gorgeous accessory fit for any beautiful bride! Purple is my favorite color, so the Purple Rose is another one that catches my eye. And, if you're looking for something a little less frilly with a bit more edge, you'll love the Seriously Skull Headband. Rebecca was recently interviewed by The Philadelphia Examiner and will be showcasing her wares at several craft markets this holiday season, including Crafts in the Warren Tech at Warren County Technical School in Washington, NJ, on December 3 from 9am-4pm. And don't forget, all online orders receive FREE SHIPPING!

Spellbound

Miriam Hope works hard to create gorgeous, imaginative works of art that are also wearable. Spellbound showcases a variety of unique & whimsical accessories. The Picnic In The Park wrapped headband features numerous miniature butterflies that are so cute! I also love Flutter My Heart that is adorned with blue, purple and green butterflies made of feathers. Blue Skies is a fun cocktail-inspired headband that is encrusted with tons of bright Swarovski Crystals. If you're really looking to make a statement with your accessories, you may like The Last Dance or Around the World. And don't miss the lovely Gaga For You lace mask featuring a beautiful beaded cameo.

I recently found the cutest baby leg warmers ever! Snuggle Luv has a wonderful selection of funky accessories for kiddos. Snuggle Legs are perfect for protecting your sweet baby’s crawling knees. Moms, think diaper changing and potty training without the fuss of pulling pants on and off. And, they work great on both the arms and legs. The best part, besides the Buy Two, Get One Free offer, is they come in designs that are appropriate for boys and girls of all ages. I especially love the Falling Star print. Want to keep your kid's head warm, as well? That's what Snuggle Lids are for! The collection includes floral Baby Bud Hats, crocheted hats, and Snuggle Bands. Check out all the fashionable designs Snuggle Luv has to offer you & your young 'uns!

The Little Prints

At first glance, Jody McDowell's shop, The Little Prints, is full of happy colors & beautiful textures. When looking at each item individually, you will see that Jody has given an exciting new life to reused materials. The Megaroids are unique decorative pieces that began as Polaroid photos that have been enlarged and mounted on wooden blocks. I especially like the accessories like the cheerful green & yellow lace headband that's decorated with vintage plastic flower beads and a button. Using an old necktie, Jody also created a cute gray flower headband. There's several adorable wrist cuffs and brooches to choose from, as well.

All Things Ribbon

Mother daughter duo Jen and Amanda strive to create the highest quality hair bows & accessories. All Things Ribbon is full of beautiful handmade headbands, hair bows, and much more. Their latest offerings are gorgeous dresses for little girls. Your little girl is a princess, so why not dress her like one on special occasions? The flower stacks are also fun designs that are attached to a lined alligator clip so they can easily be clipped onto crocheted headbands. The Patriotic designs are perfect for Independence Day that is right around the corner. And for the littlest girls, there are adorable mini hair bows. All Things Ribbon is an excellent place to find all things girly girl!

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms features beautiful handmade hair accessories for infants and children created by Kiley Smith. Established in 2006 when her baby girl was born, Kiley sought high-quality unique hair accessories that were both beautiful, functional, and affordable with no success. She began fabricating her own designs with distribution amongst friends and family. Of course, compliments and inquiries from others soon followed, as well as numerous requests for customized work. Designs such as Unexpected Song illustrate why so many people are interested in purchasing Kiley's work. Any little girl will look absolutely adorable in one of the reversible headbands that are available. For girls with longer hair, there are the lovely Era of Elegance hair clips. And the hand-embroidered daisy headband is beautiful. Be sure to enter the giveaway Kiley is having on her blog for your chance to win a set of headbands.

L’èlephant Rose

L’èlephant Rose features the women's jewelry and accessory line created by Sherisa Vassel. She says the mission of her line is to provide unique and feminine pieces to women who aren't afraid of their femininity and know that bold has many faces. Based in Brooklyn, NY, Sherisa founded her company earlier this year after leaving the corporate working world. The yellow flower & glass pearl headband is a simple, yet beautiful accessory that is perfect for spring. I also like the Selah children's earrings made with blue seed beads and a clear acrylic bead as the focal point. And, if you can't make it to the beach this summer, bring a piece of the beach to you with the lovely cowry shell & turquoise earrings.

*Giveaway: Win a $25 gift certificate from L’èlephant Rose. To enter, visit Sherisa's shop and leave a comment on this post noting your favorite item. Giveaway ends at Midnight CST, Monday, April 6.

by Mary Jane

Mary Jane Hunter's designs are influenced by her love of the Bohemian lifestyle & passion for vintage goods. Her Etsy shop, by Mary Jane, is full of beautifully crafted accessories. Inspired by the 1960's counterculture, these items are handmade using vintage fabrics, leathers, suedes, and other items. The beautiful braided leather headbands are a great remembrance of the times when peace, love & happiness were the main ideals. I especially love the colorful ribbon band decorated with daisies, hearts, daffodils, and vines. The main by Mary Jane website showcases the unique handbags & jewelry Mary Jane creates, as well.

Busy B Boutique

Busy B Boutique is full of adorable accessories. I adore the cute Perfect Fit Headband™s that are available in a variety of patterns & colors. And they are reversible so you get two for one! I truly need a black & white damask print headband for summer & the skull 'n crossbones band is just enough rebel to give any gal a bit of an edge. You will also love the stylish dish gloves. Who knew something so mundane could be so cute!? June Cleaver would be so envious.

Daisy Janie

Jan DiCintio, the owner & designer behind Daisy Janie, now blends her painting background into fabric & handbag design. I love the custom designed Bridge fabrics which is used on a variety of handbag styles. The Fancy Pants handbags are the perfect size for every day use, while the Roxy wristlets are ideal for a night out. The Zoey pouch & coordinating mirrors are fabulous, as well. Jan has also designed lovely headbands & key fobs in lots of different patterns. Have a look at all of the wonderful designs at Daisy Janie, as well as the sister site Scoutie Girl.
