Ayarina Designs

***CLOSED***

One of the cutest things I have EVER seen. Seriously I came across her stuff while browsing Etsy which I do quite often. I just love how original they are. Ayarina is from Romania, which at first kinda put me off, but only kinda. She was more then willing to sponsor the review, and the buttons got here rather quickly considering they came all the way from Romania. My kids cut the stamps out of the envelope they came in and have saved them...they like stamps from different places.

Each and every set of her buttons are hand sculpted. She has some lovely seasonal ones as well as these Amazing custom MTM designs.

I mean seriously I am creative and crafty but I KNOW I so couldn't do that, she's amazing. 

She also makes Yo Gaba Gaba ones and various others I snagged from her Facebook page.

I just love love love them all. I want them all and I don't know what I'd do with them LOL.

So when I asked her to let me do a review she was all for it, the hardest part? Choosing buttons to use. I love the lady bugs, though honestly I wish I would have had her do a custom set for me, I can think of a million different things I want now LOL.

That being said I did a role call for bow makers. Because what princess doesn't always need MORE hair pretties? I had a couple answer the call and I let Madilyne choose, she choose 

All About The Hair Bows

I traded Kerri three buttons for three beautiful hair bows. 

I wanted something that was going to show case how beautiful they are and what you can do with these buttons. 

The top two match and will be used for piggies, 

and the bottom one is great for pony tails as well as accenting a bun etc. 

I love how she perched them on the bow. I love how you really can tell THEY are the spotlight in the bow.

 I really love these hair bows, and I really love the buttons. I will for sure be getting some more and having someone make me more hair bows!

If you want to buy them before you can win them you can visit her store here.

One lucky winner will get a custom set of buttons.

The Bronze Willow

***CLOSED***

Lala (say it Lay-Luh) is just cute as a button! She's been so nice, I love all the items she sent me. My very favorite is the lotion! It is nice and soft, but no greasy...

I was originally sent a cute car scent hanger thing, the lotion and mist. I then was offered the mistletoe mist and melting tarts. Love them all.

I ended up gifting the cute high heel car hanger though, it was a little to sweet for me. I'd love one in the Graceful scent though, that I really like. 

I love that the spray is multifunction, as a room spray, body spray, or linen spray. Multifunction flips my switch!

Overall this is very nice product, I was giving lotion squirts out to everyone who walked by my room the other day lol EVERYONE loved it! I really think Lala has some smashing products and you should totally give them a try. 

Lala is offering up a $10 gift card to her shop, that will so get you a good bit of product. Her prices are smashing!

Tomslitehouse Soy Candles

***CLOSED***

Karen contacted me a little bit ago and asked me to review one of her candles. I am a fan of all things smelly so I was on it...She let me pick from the many smashing scents she had. Since it's winter I choose mulberry spice, it is oh so divine!

I don't burn candles very often to be truthful, I don't like the fire hazard they pose. On top of that my kids play in the wax, and I'm really concerned about burns.
Karen sent me the Celestial Jar Candle, it's super pretty!

 The first time I lit the candle it only took about 5 or so minutes for the scent to circulate around my living room. It was very nice. I really only burnt it about 10 or so minutes at a time, so I  have lots of life left. I was told it should burn 20 hrs or more.
Shipping was pretty fast but the shade had broken by the time it got to me. Karen was super sweet and sent another one very promptly.
Soy is supposed to burn cleaner and be healthier for those who choose to burn candles regularly.

the shade just looks nifty when the candle is lit. It's really a very pretty jar candle!

All in all it is a very nice candle, a great product but I'm pretty sure that for my Family it's going to be several years before I will consider burning candles on a regular basis. I just am too afraid of wax burns and candle fires.
I do love this though, It will be burned on special occasions =o)

Karen has been very generous and offered up to a lucky winner a Celestial Jar candle of their very own!

Cloth by Tel

***CLOSED***

When I contacted Tel and asked to do a review I only had a measly 25 fans, I really wanted to review her diaper. She asked that I purchase my diaper, and if when it was time to do my review I had 200 fans she'd give a diaper away! That was just a little over two months ago! I never in a million years thought I'd have over 1600 fans when I posted this review!

Tel's diapers are very reasonably priced, and they are oh so lovely. I got two diapers from her, this wonderful cow print 

and a giraffe print. That was the one I was dying for! It was dirty when It was time to do review pictures so this super cute cow one it is!

I love the fit, they are super soft and the pockets are divine. There is a flap to cover the insert and keep it in, I have no problems with bunching or riding out with that flap. 

Ansel is on the middle rise snap and has plenty of growing room in this diaper.

 

He has two snaps open in the middle front but there is still lots of room for waist adjustment. 

I can't really think of a con for it. I do have some slight staining but that was from when Ansel was sick, I bet it would sun right out. 

Tel is offering up a diaper to one lucky winner, it will be her choice of what's in stock you just specify boy, gender neutral (or shhh...don't tell girl.)

Pocketful Of Clovers

***CLOSED***

I oh so love these little peggies. She has a whole slew that she does, including an alpha set. I got these amazing color and number pegs for Ansel. 

 

I love the detail in each one right down to the clover signature.

Each one has a different picture appropriate for the color, and numbers on the back. Love the cute faces, and they are perfect grabber size. 

 

Cari can do pretty much anything you ask, she has some scooby doo ones as well!

I recently won a give away at her page and I asked for an angel. This little girl is about 3" tall, I love it!

 

The detail she puts into these little pegs to make them come to life is amazing. Ansel really digs them too, he says "oooh, what's that?"

 

and then he'll grab them up

These are going to make teaching him his basic colors a breeze. He loves them alot, so do I.

 

Cari also has donated so generously to the families in need! I love that these wonderful WAHM shops are so willing to help and share the love!

Cari is offering up a colored peggie set to one lucky winner!
