Tiny Table Linens at LittlePeanutShop!

I just added an adorable new section in my shop: Tiny Table Linens. Each set comes with two reversible pretend play placemats and napkins that are perfectly sized for little chefs or hostesses. Your little goober will love having a set of her own placemats and napkins for playtime, snacktime or for learning how to set the table.

Stop on by LittlePeanutShop for a closer look at these adorable Tiny Table Linens. I'm also selling some matching items in other sections: a reversible activity apron and a diaper change pad. Together, they make a wonderful "big sister/baby sister" gift set.

*NEW* Amber Babies teething necklaces!

Baltic amber is a traditional European remedy for teething. Amber is a natural analgesic and when worn on the skin, it releases healing oils that helps babies and young children to stay calm and more relaxed thoughout teething. Amber necklaces are a great natural remedy and can eliminate the need for over the counter drugs. I use a sterling silver plated MAGNETIC CLASP. This ensures that the necklace will open up if it is being pulled. I have not had any trouble with necklaces just falling off because of this.  Please Note: Amber necklaces are made for wearing, not for chewing! Please supervise your child while wearing the necklace.  all necklaces measure between 11.5 and 12.5 inches.

Cloth Pantyliners have arrived at LilBees--win a FREE SET!

I used to make these, but had to discontinue them for a while when I was without a serger... I have my serger again now, and have been working to restock these popular pantyliners.

These have soft absorbent flannel on top, and slip-resistant, leak-resistant fleece on the back. Cloth pantyliners are a great option for daily use, as both flannel and fleece hold up to frequent washing. Popular uses include: mild incontinence (such as during pregnancy), protection when using vaginal suppositories, mid-cycle moisture, and, of course, the end of ones period.

These are now available at LilBees!

Now for the exciting part!

Follow this link and leave a comment on the post on my blog to be entered into a random drawing for a FREE 3 pack of pantyliners! (not necesssarily the ones shown--I will have several options for the winner to chose from). The contest is open until August 31.

Here's one of my favorite items to date!  It's a sterling silver bracelet, adorned with  dichroic glass bali beads and  lovely green and black stones.

Natural Beginnings

Hello fellow mamas,
I found mothering.com when I was pregnant with my daughter who is now almost 3 years old. Wow, is she really almost 3? Sometimes I think i am still a newly pregnant woman...then i look around and see that i have two babes now! My second daughter was born almost 6 months ago. They were both born at home and are nursing fiends. I have mothering's discussion boards to thank for many friendships and much wisdom. I am often inspired by the other families i meet on there.


this pendant is from bali where i worked with robin lim, cpm at the birth center she opened. this is the birth center's mascot as well as an ancient birthing mama, sheila na goreng. the red coral was to fight off post partum hemmorage.
a local mama hand makes these gorgeous pendants. i just string 'em.
so much green and a little fertility wish in the middle of it all.
nice and thick with subtle reds between.
the pendant is made by a local nc mama. i really liked the purple and gold against it.

I found etsy some time ago but just decided to take the plunge into showing my work over the last 8 months or so. I have done my first two shows and have one coming up this weekend! I work as a doula and as a midwife's assistant. I really like creating birthy-themed works. Mainly, I am into making necklaces right now. I also made some note cards from pictures that I took while doing international birth work last year. I haven't gotten these posted on etsy, yet though!

Thanks for looking!
