Lilypad and friends craft sale pictures

We had a great day last Saturday and a big thanks to all of you who came out to support the crafters! We had a good turn-out and already scheming our fall craft sale. Here are some pictures of the day. If you would like to personally contact any one of the sellers to purchase something still, let me know and I will pass their info along to you.

This is "Simply Kaptured Photography" by Stephanie, along with her fabulous baking which was so beautifully packaged...she even had samples for people to try. Her photography is beautiful and she has made some amazing cards, gift tags, and magnets from them.

Next we have "Bum Buckets" and "Sock Critters" by Hilori. Her diapers are so great and are very affordable...it makes going the cloth route so do-able. I highly recommend contacting her if you are at all thinking about doing cloth diapers for your little one. I hope to finally get it right round 3 and do the cloth thing, and have happily already purchased a set of diapers from her. I can't wait to have a little babe to put them on! Her sock critters are also amazing...those lips get me every time.

Next we have "The Button Jar" by Michelle. Gorgeous dresses and shirts from repurposed and new fabrics, not to mention adorable dollhouses and barns. I am always amazed at how she puts patterns and colours together...beautiful! I hear rumors of aprons on the horizon too...be sure to check out her blog!And finally, Lilypad! Jaimee and I worked hard to get a lot made before the sale and were both quite happy to see our creations go to good homes. We have now added shopping bags to our repertoire, not to mention burp cloths and fabulous crocheted baby loafers and maryjanes. Contact us to custom order a pair - you pick the colour and size! Our other popular items were slings (we had lots of mommies and tummies out and willing little babies to try out our slings), bibs, blankets, bags and diaper clutches. Another new item is personalized bean bags - makes a great, personal gift for children of all ages.

Keep checking out lilypad on etsy (see side link) as we will be posting new items shortly. I truly have a deeper appreciation for hand-made items and for the care and thoughtfulness that goes into each creation after this sale. There is just something so satisfying about celebrating each other's creativeness...thank you for sharing in that with us!

Claire gave the blanket and bib to her teacher today at the tri-conference. Mme was thrilled ... she was just thinking that it's too bad she doesn't sew or knit or whatever because it would be so nice to have handmade things for her baby. And she thought the colours and apple theme were perfect for fall and gender-neutral and all that. It's the first present she's received for that baby. She's interested in having a connection to buy nice baby presents. I gave her your contact info and told her that you'd be thrilled if she sent you an email in French. Thanks for making such beautiful stuff ... Claire (and her parents) were very proud and excited to give the present to a very grateful and dear teacher.
