the momAHOLIC diaries Brings You, Cloth & Crown

Just before Christmas we gave you a little teaser of a feature to come {Merry Christmas, Santa Baby!}. Today we would like to introduce you to Cara. Cara owns a shop called Cloth & Crown on Etsy and is the designer of the adorable outfit that our little model was wearing in our Merry Christmas, Santa Baby photo. We can't say enough how much we LOVE Cara and her work. She is super sweet and fun to work with. We could tell how much she loves creating for others from our very first chat with her and we know you'll love her just as much as we do when you read our quick q+a with her!

{Tell us about yourself and your business.}

HI! My name is Cara Crowley and I am the founder of Cloth & Crown. I have another full time job and I have two teenage sons who inspire me every day. I come from a long line of people who love creating with their hands. My sweet mom taught me to crochet and sew when I was a little girl and instilled in me a love of all things crafty. She also makes items you see in my shop. I love being able to walk this adventure with her! Life can dish out a lot of 'hard and serious' for so many of us and we need more love and fun. This is why I love to mix the classic with the whimsical in my designs.

Cloth & Crown sells unique handmade baby products such as hats and shoes. We make a lot of items for photographers to use in their photo sessions and for a lot of moms wanting unique items for their sweet babies. In a world of mass production where products are made ever more cheaply each year, we strive to ensure each item is of the highest quality and perfectly made for the precious little ones who will be wearing them.

{What is your favorite part about having your Etsy shop?}

I love every aspect of the business. I love the personal aspect of working directly with my customers to create their items and hearing about their little ones or babies on the way. I love being able to just be free and create. Love getting feedback and photos from customers of their baby wearing one of my products. I adore working with my mom and seeing her talent on display. I have also been so blessed by who has crossed my path because of the shop. I have loved meeting and working with Avery Grace Photography. She is so sweet and amazingly talented - her photos help sell my products and I'm so grateful.

{When did you know you wanted to open your shop, Cloth & Crown?}

Cloth & Crown actually came about a year or so ago. I was creating gifts for all my friends and family members who were expecting. After lot of encouragement and a little pushing from loved ones, I took the risk and opened up shop! I couldn't be more grateful for them. I am loving every minute of it!

{What can we look forward to in the future from you?}

I have so many ideas on what to do next!! I have a spring line rolling out full of new cute and cuddly items. I am working on a 100% organic line too! I also will be adding more knitted items. Love knitted products! I have three shows the first quarter of the year at Project Mom Conferences - I can't wait to meet all the moms in attendance! Plus, I really want to get the blog up and running, but we shall see! =)

Etsy Love : Sprinkles for Sprouts

When browsing Etsy today we came across some of the cutest hair accessories around!

We just couldn't wait to share. 

Head over and shop Sprinkles for Sprouts now!

Sweet Findings!

Over the past few weeks we have tried & tested many different hair accessories in our little one’s locks. After being sick of losing barrettes and hair pulling clips we ventured out to find the perfect match.

Bugalug is the perfect STAY-PUT accessories for the Urban Girl. Unlike other STAY-PUT hair accessories these stay in without giving your sweet cheeks a headache especially the fully adjustable headbands ($8) which us chic-momma’s can wear too! We adore the no slip bows ($5) to add extra sweetness and the grosgrain ribbon barrettes ($4) in just too fun patterns and prints! The newly launched 3 pack of Pony Loops ($10) are perfect for pony tails (and a cinch to use too!). Don’t forget to check out the Soother Clips ($10) for the tiny tots in your life. The multifunctional clip is perfectly chic to hold the lovey; whether it is a pacifier, toy or Sippy cup.

All of Bugalugs high quality hair accessories are innovative, unique and one-of-a-kind for every style that suits your little, or big girl in an array of fun colors, prints and patterns. It’s easy to express yourself with Bugalug!

As for Creative Clips by Colleen – well, you may have seen them around town or in your weeklies on celeb tots like Tori Spelling’s little one, Stella and Denise Richard’s girls. They are truly for your little oh so chic fashionista.

Colleen Connon, mother of 2, set out after an unsuccessful search for fun hair accessories for her daughter’s fine hair and well, became VERY successful as Creative Clips have became wildly popular. We currently are obsessed with the Blue & Green Peacock headband ($12) that even we can wear, not just our girls! We just can’t get enough of the girly sequin glitz and glam bows in a wide variety of colors and styles. And of course, we adore the Cupcake clips! All the clips feature Velcro to prevent the clip from slipping in fine hair. In fact, there is nothing we don’t like – we are craving all the oh so chic bows and just can’t get enough of these FAB hair accessories.
