Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale

One of my favorite quotes - by Adlai Stevenson.

Earlier this week we were humbled and delighted to be included a little list here, and particularly thrilled to see our baby bedding highlighted here. Thank you, Babble.com!

And then we saw our organic flannel + chalkboard cotton bibs in Cool Mom Picks' Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide here (now we really wish we had more of that fabric stored away...)

That's the funny thing about having an online shop - missing that interface with real people and real smiles and real handshakes. We're very thankful for being noticed, and also for the wonderful compliments that come from people who have honored us by choosing pieces from our shop, like the customer who just yesterday told us about how delighted she was with her organic stuffed jointed bunny dolls order.

It reminds us that even thought it's virtual, it is still very real. It reminds us that we must continually strive to improve in our design, our craft, and the gentle ways we treat the earth (sourcing even more organic supplies, as locally as possible, daring to be different and being as original as possible).
