Vacation Sale

I will be closing shop for the month of July this year. Both EarthJewelsCreations and NorasKnickers will be closed from June 30 to August 3. During this time my shops will be emptied. As I want to have fewer items to inactivate I am offering FREE shipping on all items over $5.00 until I close on June 30. If you are buying more than one item for a combined total of $6 or more I will refund the shipping. Take advantage of the great savings!

Yart Sale

Just thought I would give you all the heads up on a Yart sale over at Etsy! What is Yart, You ask? Well it is an artsy yard sale. It will run starting today through to the first day of summer which is June 21. Here are the links to follow: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5653370&page=1

Helpful Hints

Well maybe it should just be titled "Helpful Hint". If you are a user of wool soakers on your baby then you know that wool is subject to pilling. I went to the store and bought myself one of those sweater shavers, which I think cost me about $10. I use it to make little N's pants and covers look new again by shaving off those little ballies. Simple solution since we all know those longies and shorties can be quite an investment!

A Sampling of Past Work

I had a custom request from my Etsy shop today, which brought to my attention that my customers have no way of seeing samples of my past work. I decided it was time to provide you with a way of seeing samples of other recycled covers I have done and sold.



I am always willing to try new shapes and designs as well.

My New BANNER!

Happy Friday everyone!

I am blogging today to show the world my beautiful new shop banner. It was made by a fellow Etsian who does really nice work! You can have one of your own made too. Follow this link to check out her other work http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5420161.

Here are pictures of mine. Enjoy the weekend!

It should always be Earth Day

Well Earth Day has come and gone and so has the Etsy Cloth Diaper Promotion. If you missed it check back, I am sure the team will have another one sometime in the fall.
With Earth Day still in mind however, I am wondering why more people have not yet switched to cloth diapers. It is just so simple, and what better a way to help save our planet. It is not just about garbage either. It comes down to all our resources. It takes a lot of energy to produce those disposables and then fuel to ship them too, then of course there is the trucking to dispose of them and process them at the landfill. On top of all that is the chemicals they contain which is first in contact with your baby's skin and then in the soil and ground water. Oh and groundwater there is a whole other problem. That gel that holds all that urine also holds precious groundwater supplies.
I could go on with my rant, but I think you get my point. I am very passionate about cloth diapering and hope some others will catch my bug!

Promotion

Friday April 18 is here and so is the Etsy Cloth Diapers team promotion. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, each participating shop will be giving away something of their choice with a purchase. The free items are purchase specific, which means you need to look for the Etsy Cloth Diapers image of a purple diaper pin, which looks like this:

For a complete list of the participating shops and their links go to the team Blog: http://etsyclothdiaper.blogspot.com , I know it will be a worthwhile search as I have a list of FREE giveaways. They range from wipes to wetbags to knitted socks and toys, to bum creams and even cloth diapers and wool covers.

Enjoy your search, and have a happy weekend:)
