I just found Laurel’s Lullaby, a shop that sells blanket sets as well as matching bibs and taggy blankets. The owner has 15 years of sewing experience and it shows. These blankets look so cute and so professional, I want one for myself!

Check out this snail set, it is deliciously vintage and gender neutral. There are a lot of cute boy prints at Laurel’s Lullaby, which I know can be hard to come by.

Snail Blanket and Burp Cloth Set

I also liked this black damaske and pink minky blanket and burp cloth set. Black and pink look so classy together. I can just imagine a little girl wrapped up in this.

Black Damask/Hot Pink Minkie Blanket and Burp Cloth Set

I’ve recently been going through my daughters toys. I’ve been putting away her baby toys and packing up the toys she doesn’t play with for another day. As I sort I wonder if she really needs all the colorful plastic with lights and sounds. It would be great to get back to basics, wouldn’t it?

These wooden tools by prettydreamer is so perfect! A saw, mallet, pliers, screwdriver and square make up this set for your beginning carpenter.

I consider myself a pretty reserved, thrifty person. While I just love handmade baby items, rarely do I see something I don’t really need and instantly feel I just HAVE to have it. This Hello Kitty set, however, will be mine!

Hello Kitty fleece pants/longies set

It is a two-piece embroidered outfit. The pants are fleece so they make either comfy pants or a cover for cloth diapers. The top can be embroidered with your choice of a bow or Hello Kitty’s face. My favorite part about this store is that owner, BabyStoreGALORE is willing to customize the size and elements. Check out her other items for more cuteness.

I’m a bit of a crunchy mama myself, so I’m always looking for reasonably prices eco-friendly clothing for my little one. These pants by Sunshine Salad are just that and cute too! In sizes ranging from baby to youth, these bohemian style pants are great for all age groups. Sixty percent cotton, forty percent bamboo and 100% adorable!

September is coming and in my family that means birthdays galore! Lamarlynch makes all sorts of cards for just the occasion. They all unique and I really like the 3D ones like this Incredible Hulk birthday card.

Flowers and trucks and puppies are nice, but it’s also nice to break up the monotony with cool patterns like those featured in kibblesnknits “neglected” series of shirts and onesies. My favorite is The Ants Go Marching shown below. All shirts are custom ordered and stenciled on sweat-shop free shirts. You can’t get any better than that!

With cute hair clips! I am in love with the animal clips from Jack and Jane’s Boutique. They are so simple and cute, I wish my 7 month old had hair!

It’s too bad I didn’t know about all the amazing burp cloths out there before I had my baby. Now that she’s 7 months old and no longer spitting up I find myself wishing to go back to those times so I could buy something like the these from ohsewfreshbaby!

I’m in a “gender neutral” phase and this circus print is just the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. I also like it’s retro look. It’s the kind of patterns that just beg a nursery theme to be created around them.

Monsters are so “in” right now. It’s easy to understand why when you see great work like this from Gush 4 Plush.

It reminds me of the three-eyed fish from that old Simpson’s episode! Trip is an office-going monster, but there are many different monsters at this awesome shop.

Navigating Etsy.com can be a little overwhelming. There are so many wonderful items and many of them are overlooked. That was the inspiration for this blog. I hope to show off the best handmade baby items Etsy has to offer in a handy format!

I hope this blog is helpful and look forward to receiving feedback if it isn’t!
