Because the economy is not doing too well, I thought it would be tons of fun to do some giveaways and profile some business owners from Etsy. You have shopping to do? Why not buy from someone who will benefit directly?
I am a HUGE fan of Etsy and get lost there like five times a week. okay, okay, okay, A DAY. Five times a day. You busted me.
My friend, Jen, has a shop at Etsy called Sister Sue Designs and it’s so cute. I am positively obsessed with anyone that can sew this good. (or sew at all, for that matter.) I’m pretty sure I’m going to go to her house for a week where she can teach me to sew. Except I would just watch her, for an entire week. Without sleeping.
Jen was encouraged by her friends a few years ago to start selling her products after they received handmade gifts from her. They all saw the talent she possessed, but for years she was reluctant. Luckily, her husband discovered Etsy and her shop has been open since March of this year. Sister Sue already has products selling in stores in Tennessee and Austrailia. I’m telling you…she’s that good. I need to have her make me something and then sign it because she is going to be big.
Jen has generously offered to do a giveaway here at I Should Be Folding Laundry and it’s a very generous giveaway.
She makes toy blocks, bibs, diaper carriers, burp clothes and SHOES. Shoes! She can makes shoes! and so much more.
Take a look at this stuff:



SEE? What did I tell you? You thought I was exaggerating the level of cuteness didn’t you? pssshhhh…no way.
Today we are offering a $75 gift certificate (with free shipping) to Sister Sue. (I’m so jealous of the winner, I can hardly take it.)
All you need to do is head over to Jen’s shop, tell me which product is your favorite and tell me in the comments section. (get off of my back, I’m nosey, man.)
This giveaway is open to US residents only and will close on Wednesday, November 26th at 9:00 p.m.
You can also check out Jen at her blog: http://www.sistersuedesigns.blogspot.com/. (which has a fabulous design, if I do say so myself.)
ENJOY & GOOD LUCK! Shop homemade!

Oooohhhh… her stuff is adorable!!!! Perfect for my 2 week old little girl, I’d be the envy of the neighborhood (not to mention probably some pretty good advertising!). Anyway, my fav is the Bohemian Lovey Blanket. Still looking for the perfect lovey blankie for Corinne and may have JUST found it.
Thanks for sharing her store!

I just love the Juicy Diaper Tote!! What a great thing to have when I am running to the grocery store or out somewhere, where I won’t be to long instead of lugging the huge diaper bag. Cute stuff and reasonable too.

I love it all… But if I had to choose only one thing it would be the super cute burp cloths. Yes, my two month old is a spitter and there is nothing less fashionable than a cloth diaper accessorizing your every outfit. Finally someone figured out how to really jazz it up!

My best friend ever (my soul sister, so to speak) is having her first baby in just 2 weeks or less and I would love to get her one of the diaper totes. I don’t know which one because they baby’s gender is unknown! This stuff is so adorable. She has more talent in her little finger than I have in my ENTIRE body! I’m green with envy!

I LOVE her things! Since my “baby” just turned 3, I’d shop for my SIL and sweet niece! I know that I would LOVE the diaper tote and cute blocks, but I’d let her pick. Christmas is coming, as my Hubby always says! Thanks for the great giveaway!
