One of the blessings of an adoption wait is you get time to discover amazing companies and artists. Over the past few years I have found so many things I can’t wait to buy and some I’ve grabbed during sales and special releases.
Today’s blog is all about four of our favorites.
Many of you remember the artwork we got for the nursery. The artist is Tabitha Paige and she is amazing. Her studio is Fox Hollow Studio and we now have her art throughout the house.
In October she released her first children’s book collection and I had to have it. They are everything that makes a book classic and well loved. When they arrived I was so impressed by the entire package, three beautiful books each with a different lead character on their own adventure. They are such a perfect addition to our collection.
The first company I want to tell you about is Snuggle Me. The founder Mia created the very first lounger in 2007 in her home in Minnesota. The first thing I fell in love with was their infant lounger. Why do I love it? Easy it’s organic, sustainable, and ethically made. Of course the removable covers are such a bonus and I had to get a few different ones.
Then i discovered their feeding & support pillow. Since we won’t be breast feeding I wanted to spend my money on a support pillow both Jeff and I can use. The moon shape with tapered ends are the perfect feature for all body types. Plus next month they are coming out with a removable cover!
Of course my Snuggle Me collection wasn’t complete without the soft, cozy swaddle. It’s not just a swaddle but at 47 inches square so it’s a perfect blanket for little ones. Just like all their other products it is made in the USA and organic so safe for our future addition.
Next up are these wood & silicone pacifier clips.
They are from Pretty Please Teether’s in Utah, a small business founded by the wonderful Kelli. All of her amazing products are eco-friendly. The designs are modern but I have to say I haven’t seen anything that doesn’t fit perfect in any nursery. So far I have only a few items of hers but I can’t wait to get the teethers and pacifiers. All the products are made of either wood or silicone or a combination of both. She provides a wonderful selection of earth tone colors making the decisions very hard.
Can we just talk about these amazing wood toys from Bannor Toys!
This amazing toy company out of Iowa was founded by husband and wife team Jesse and Stacey. They not only design all of their products the manufacturer everything in house. First I saw their state rattles and love how you can customize the colors. Of course once we have an adoption placement you know I’ll be getting one of their fun designs with the little ones name engraved on it. They have a great selection of toys such as this rattles and grasping styles for babies, to stackers and blocks for toddlers.
Of course I wanted to share the website for these amazing companies. I hope you fall in love with them, spoil the ones you love, and support their growing businesses.
