If I could buy everything handmade that would be just fantastic. When it comes to fashion and accessories handmade is the way to go. It's about showing your artistic side; your unique and individual personality. So much passion goes into the creation of something handmade. There is a story behind each and every piece. It's a story that is created from within and outwardly expressed for all to see, use and enjoy! When you are wearing something handmade, you know it's special. Handmade is a HUGE part of the abbabyboutique because it's what got us started and what we love to do and Patricia Carolyn's handmade jewelry is what it's all about! We love these two new designs, each of course is made by hand.
 The Pretty Flower Necklace is available in four color styles: Bright White, Dusty Rose, Deep Purple and Rich gold. Leather cord is available in two colors; black or dark brown and in three different lengths. This necklace looks beautiful worn alone or layered with other necklaces of different lengths. It will surely add a touch of color to your outfit!
I love the craftsmanship and hard work put into each of these pieces. No two pieces are exactly the same.
Another one of my favorites and new to our boutique is this piece by Patricia Carolyn.  The Wish Upon a Star Necklace. It's simple, delicate and perfect for layering. The star is made of pure silver and hand carved and made to be worn at the base of the neck. It is a great everyday necklace and looks perfect on anyone at any age.
So the next time you purchase something handmade wear it with pride and don't forget to set aside some creative time for you too! What talents do you have that when inspired, allow you to create your own works of art?
The holidays are nearly here and I have a few items that make great gifts for any mom or grandmom. I don't think I know a mom that doesn't like jewelry and no matter what their taste, we are sure to have something to suit.
 For the Mom-to-be we have these adorable  It's a Boy or It's a Girl Little Birdie Pendant Necklaces. These square sterling silver pendants are sealed with a permanent glassy waterproof finish. The back can be engraved with up to 3 lines of text in one of 6 different engraving fonts. Perfect for engraving a monogram, name or your own special message. It's a great way to answer the question "What are you having?" without actually having to say anything.  Or how about a more classic look like the Mother and Baby Pendant Necklace also in Sterling Silver and available in 2 chain lengths. This precious silhouette of mother and child is crafted in high polish sterling silver and dangles gently from a dainty sterling silver curb chain. Simply sweet!  More than one child? No worries you can sport the Parents with 2 Children Pendant. This darling family pendant features 2 loving parents standing with their 2 children.

I love fresh vegetables and fruit. We have a great produce market nearby with really low prices on locally grown fruit and veggies. When they opened I realized how much money I would save if I purchased all of our fruits and veggies at the market instead of our usual large chain grocery store. Unfortunately alot of those veggies went to waste if we didn't eat them fast enough, so the whole idea of saving money was well, just a good idea. Until my mother-in-law introduced me to Debbie Meyers Green Bags. They really work and I love that I can buy all my veggies for the week and know that if we don't cook them right away we can have them the next week. How they work The bags absorb the ethelyne gas that is released by the food, which prevents the gas from staying in the fruit, and thus helping your food stay fresher longer. How to use them Produce should be DRY before placing in bag. Simply place fresh produce in bags and wash/rinse produce as usual before use. If storing washed produce, be sure to dry thoroughly before inserting in bag. Use one bag for each type of produce. For instance, use a bag for apples, another one for lettuce, another one for pears, etc. Fold over the top of the bag---do not use twist-ties as they make holes. You can even use them for fresh cut flowers by placing the arrangement in a bag or by placing the bag over the top of the flowers while in a vase. Where to buy You can pick your Debbie Meyer's Green Bags up at Target or WalMart for $9.95. They come in a box of 20 and best of all, you can wash and re-use them! These bags get my vote!

 The Big Belly Bib was created by Suzy Prenovost after finding a real need to protect her clothing during her third trimester. Suzy lives in Seattle and is a wife and working mother of two boys with a third on the way. She was frustrated after dripping and spilling practically everything she ate on herself, whether it was the klutzy stage of pregnancy, or just the fact that her projecting belly was a prime target for spills! She solicited the help of Kristen Lemoine, a good friend of Suzy’s sister, and together they designed the Belly Bib! Kristen is an awesome designer and uses such quality fabrics, she sent Suzy the first Belly Bib which she used every day and got great feedback from other Moms who had the same problem when they were pregnant ! So they decided to form a partnership and launch the Big Belly Bib. Suzy and Kristen hope you love the Belly Bib much as they do and your expensive maternity clothes will thank you!! Tell us what you think of this product and you could win one (but only if you comment)! Hint Hint Contest to come...

Going Green is in! Going Green is Smart! Why? Look at what is happening to our earth not to mention the hazardous chemicals used to make everything nowadays! Going green is a good thing. The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on  cotton in 2000 in the United States as "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human carcinogens - Did you know that we carry organic baby clothes made from cotton grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. The cotton is  certified organic and produced using sustainable farming practices that promote the safety and health of cotton farming communities as well as your babies. Why not put the best on that delicate baby skin! I must  also mention that each piece is of heirloom quality, sure to last for years which means recycling these are worth much more than the term" Hand Me Downs".
When we saw these amazingly cool tees by Tiny Revolutionary we had to have them. Yes we know statement tees are all the rage, but these are even more special to us. We were especially drawn to the Soldier of Love Camo Tee. A member of our family is currently fighting in Iraq with the Marines, so this tee just really means a lot to me as I am sure that many of you have loved ones fighting this endless war too. It is a scary world that we live in, but our children have to grow up into it too! Let's teach them to be individuals, speak up for themselves and make the best of this world, their world.
 Which leads me to this next tee that speaks for itself " I'll Change the World Someday". This onesie is described as "A reminder to us and to our children, that we are all born with the capacity to influence the world around us, if only we are brave enough. Children are a great way to reconnect with your belief that you are capable of extraordinary things. Remember, it's ok to start small, with, dare we force the pun? Baby steps."
Both tees are printed on super soft, pre-shrunk, Pima cotton with built in, baby-friendly, stretch and recovery. You will be blown away by the way they fit and feel on your little one. They are very true to size so you need not order up a size. Best of all they are Sweatshop-Free! Gotta have it? Shop Now While they are still in stock!

Premium Leather pediped footwear are made from premium, non-toxic, ECO grade leather, meeting the highest standards applicable.

When Ashley Mohr on behalf of Church & Dwight contacted me to let me know she was sending a slew of products for me to test out I was excited. Little did I know that I would have a new best friend! I am not talking about the human kind I am talking about the "what would I do without this product" kind. Some of the products Ashley had sent I was already familiar with so I dispersed those to my girlfriends in which they will do their own review. There was one teeny tiny product that I had never tried, the Oxi Clean Spray-A-Way Instant Stain Remover. So I kept it. It claimed to "POWER OUT STAINS INSTANTLY" (can you hear that booming commercial voice?). OK so that would be cool! Now it was just a waiting game until a stain occurred. Normally stains occur for me when I wear white so I did. Stains are always occurring when my son Brennan eats or drinks anything but this time, it was like the stains knew I had a tool to fight them and it just wasn't happening. Until the day I put on my brand new white shorts! Let's call this STAIN DAY. My friend Cindy (Cindy don't get mad at me please!) came over with her kids and while hovering with a chip loaded with salsa over my "NO KID" couch (yes I have a no kid couch but don't worry I also have a very friendly kid couch too) she completely missed her mouth and the salsa landed right there on the cushion. AHA! No problemo I have Oxi Clean Spray Away! This little tiny purse size spray bottle covers the entire stain with one spray! Stain instantly disappears and my beautiful straw colored cushion looks brand new. It worked WONDERS later that evening when (still wearing new white shorts) my glass of red wine landed in my lap! Thanks to my husband bumped into me (don't get mad hubster you know it's true!) That was the true test. White shorts an entire glass of red wine, if this Spray Away Stain Spray works on this it will be my new best friend. So there you have it, Oxi Clean Spray Away Instant Stain Remover is my new best friend! This product is a MUST HAVE! I give it a 10 out of 10! I dare you to find a stain this sucker can't remove! Pick up a few on your next trip to the store (they are only $4.99)and keep one in your car, your purse, your "junk" drawer (you know you have one). Go get a few more and give them to your friends, they may think it is a weird gift but trust me they will thank you later!
