New Listing - Reusable Autumn Thanksgiving Banner

Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday!



Jordan's birthday banner really put me in the mood for autumn, and I had been meaning to make some holiday banners to sell in the shop, so here they are!

Reusable Autumn Thanksgiving Banners! I've listed two of them - you'll be purchasing the one pictured in that listing.

I hope to create some winter and Christmas banners over the next month and may also add some non-banner items as well. Be sure to keep watching the shop for new additions!

Shout Out! - The Red Pistachio

I've wanted a toddler-sized blanket for Milena ever since she was born! I love all the wonderful, handmade quilts and afghans she's received as gifts over the past two years, but I felt she needed something smaller - easier to take with her when we went out of town.

The baby blankets found at The Red Pistachio were exactly what I was looking for! The fabrics they use are all so wonderful, it was difficult to chose just one, but I finally decided on the Chenille and Flannel Baby Blanket in the Butterfly Garden theme. Such bright, happy fabrics! Months later, we still love it! It's just warm enough for chilly nights, and oh so perfect for middle-of-the-day cuddles.

The Red Pistachio also sells burp cloths, bibs, and washcloths. The baby gift sets are perfect for baby showers! And I think the Touch and Feel blankets are a must-have for all little ones.

Playing Catch Up

I can't believe it's been over four months since I last posted! Life got pretty busy this summer, and I took a bit of a break from my Etsy store (apart from a banner here or there), but I'm back now!

And I owe you pictures of the banners I made from the wonderful fabrics I last posted about! Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture of the wedding banner before giving it to my friends (but I've e-mailed them with a request!). However, here's a shot of the banner used to celebrate my niece's and dad's birthdays:



Last month underduck received a wonderful review on the small fry after I helped little Jordan celebrate his first birthday with fall-themed banners (you may notice I used the same fabrics I used in the birthday banner above - amazing what a change in felt color can do).



Jordan's banners really put me in the mood for fall and inspired me to purchase more of the same fabric to create some festive "Happy Thanksgiving" banners (watch the store for them later this week!).
