Woolybaby slippers

Check out these gorgeous slippers! Looking for the perfect baby shower gift? There ya go! You can find them in Josie's Etsy shop, Woolbaby. While you are there, make sure to read her slipper's fun descriptions, like this one:

"When I was a kid, my mom threw some pumpkin scraps over a cliff near our house. Pumpkin vines grew at the bottom and up the side of the cliff and the cliff was forever known as “pumpkin town”. We kids loved playing in Pumpkin Town; scaling the roots that were sticking out and building roads up the side. I don’t remember any actual pumpkins growing there, but if there were, they would have been about the color of these slippers."

woolformation on stuffed animals

A friend of mine asked where she could find shops that sell wool stuffed animals, so she can get one for her adorable baby girl. Hmm.... my blog! I have featured some great artisans & their stuffed animals in the past that I pointed out to her. She was thankful for the woolformation (thanks, Nancy for the new word in my blogcabulary!). There have been so many changes to everyone's shops that I should revisit a couple. Felt Sew Good's Etsy shop should be revisited often! It is like discovering her shop all over again every time I go there. Here's what's new in the plush world of Felt Sew Good!

For My Darling's

This recyclist, Sinikka of Etsy shop Formydarling, does it all, and does it all beautifully! For a fun read, check out her interview on the Things We Make blog. Someone commented on that blog to Sinikka, saying "People like you brighten the world". I like that. I also agree :)

Olive Brown Etsy shop

Summer is here, and that means cold drinks. I know you have all been worrying endlessly about where to place your drinks, that are ready to drip condensation on your vulnerable tables at any moment! Have no fear! Etsy shop, Olive Brown has your solution... beautiful recycled wool coasters!

The Hot Dish

I found a brand new recycled wool Etsy shop, The Hot Dish! It's no secret that wool is a great material to use around heat. It is slower to ignite than most natural fibers, and won't melt like some synthetic fibers. Even firemen wear wool! The Hot Dish smartly, and beautifully, uses recycled wool to make oven mitts, handle nubs, trivets, and more. Be kitchen fabulous in a smart & green way!

Susan Cappon's Smittens

I know winter is so far away, but I couldn't help but feature these gorgeous mittens... I mean Smittens! Made out of recycled wool, these mittens will keep your hands toasty warm in style! I LOVE the colors & patterns Susan used on them, and the buttons are a great touch! You can find these adorable Smittens on her website.

Soap savers - Second Hand Chic

Thank you Nata-Leigh for suggesting this recyclist to me! What a great idea... keep all those bits of soap in one place, and lather up while exfoliating! When I read in the description that these exfoliate, I was intrigued. I have sensitive, but combination, skin. All of those gritty exfoliating soaps tear up my skin, but wash cloths aren't enough to remove the dry skin, so I tried washing with a scrap of wool to see if it would work... perfection! These soap savers fit a standard size bar of soap, are double folded so there is an inside pocket for the soap, and can be found in Second Hand Chic's Etsy shop. The best part? They are only $2.50 each!
