Buy (or Trade) Handmade
Jennie, the gal from Little Lids on Etsy and I made a trade earlier this month. I made her a Mei Tai and she made me two(!!) of her adorable hats for Ben. They’re so flippin’ cute in person. Unfortunately, since Ben is a willful child and gets all rambunctious with things on his head, I didn’t get very good pictures but I’m still trying!!
And the Mei Tai:
I love that so many of my girls make things. I’d rather buy from friends than some faceless (and most times heartless) corporation. You can be sure it comes with good juju. Check out some of my friends’ shops at the end of the post. Also, be sure to keep my stores (MonkeyBeansBaby & MonkeyBeans on Etsy) bookmarked. New stock is coming in soon! And, as always, I’m open to custom orders & trades!

Awesome! I’m so excited! When you get stocked up I will definitely check it out. I’m having a Bean and he’s sure to be Monkey. It sounds like his kind of store!
Thanks again for doing the trade! We love the MT

Deeder thought the pictures of Ben wearing that hat were funny. He laughed and said, “Bebe, Mom! Hat!”

I tried to make a MT and my sewing skills are absolute crap now. I would commission you to trade something with me, but I don’t think I have anything good!?
But I’d totally pay you to make one for me
