New Holiday Catalog Especially For Those Who Like To Shop Local

The Capital Region Etsy Street Team (CREST) has compiled an online holiday catalog representing many of the artists involved in this team. It is a great tool for those interested in doing online holiday shopping, and wanting to buy from local vendors.

Here's the link: http://issuu.com/crest/docs/crest

Vendors are listed in alphabetical order, each with vendor name, a link to their shop, a description of what they make, and a sample photo. It's very pretty and perfect for perusing just in time for the shopping season!

Enjoy!

Happy Saturday! Amy

Have you started your holiday shopping?
I have, and I'd like to share with you some of those shops with you!

Today I'd like to share with you From Morgan's Closet - unique hand knit, sewn and embellished duds for you and your little ones! In this shop you will find appliqued onsies, t-shirts, bibs, adorable ruffle pants, as well as knit bags and sock pets.

I recently featured a pair of Groovy Guitars ruffle capri pants from Shawn here on my blog. I ended up going right back to her shop and purchasing this sweet circus print set for my daughter. It was too cute to pass up! My daughter turned 1 this past Wednesday, and she'll be sporting this adorable outfit for her party on Sunday! Be sure to check out From Morgan's Closet if you've got little ones on your list this year! Right now you can find tons of Christmas-themed gear to buy now and wear to get into the holiday spirit.

Happy Friday! Amy

Have you started your holiday shopping?
I have, and I'd like to share with you some of those shops with you!

Today I'd like to share with you Loveable Creations Boutique - perfect bows and lovely clothes. In this shop you will find headbands, bows, floral hair clips, hair puffs, and cute hats for kids and babies. I chose to buy a couple of sets because I loved the idea of a "starter set" and interchangeable adornments. My daughter, at almost a year old, already has a full head of thick curly hair, and I love the way she looks when I can do something cute and fun with it. However, at her age, she rarely sits still for longer than a nanosecond. To the rescue: stretchy headbands with a bazzilion choices of colored flower clips!

And look at this adorable spider headband that Charis will be sporting for our Halloween activities this year! So be sure to check out Loveable Creations Boutique if you've got little ones on your list this year!

Happy Friday! Amy
