2011 Etsy Spotlight: Little Jumping Beans

I was thrilled when my package from Little Jumping Beans arrived. You know why? Babushka dolls! Yes, that’s right … this week’s Etsy Spotlight has fabulous soft-soled baby shoes made with Babushka doll fabric. Oh. my. word.

Matryoska or Babushka?

Jemma and I have a tiny obsession with Babushka dolls. When I was expecting I found an adorable onesie while thrifting that had a Babushka doll on it. Jemma wore it to her 2 week pediatrician appointment. From then on, I’ve been loving these little dolls for Jem. Of course, there aren’t many baby things […]

Shoe Dilemma X 2

Remember these fabulous shoes? Well, I survived my first week of work and still haven’t ordered them. You know why? Because I’m cheap. They aren’t available in the store and shipping is $10. That makes them $59. I’m holding out for a sale. Email me if you see them (or something similiar) for a bargain […]
