New Moks by Scandeez

I just opened up a box of Moks by Scandeez - soft-soled leather baby shoes made with recycled leather.

We got in more of the ever-popular Paw style, with brown uppers


And two new styles:

Elephant with grey upper


and Llama with blue upper


These Moks are hand-made by Connie Jensen in Texas and Nebraska. The leather used has been independently tested and found to be non-toxic - No lead feet on your babies!
The Moks can be purchased here - for a limited time, get free shipping on all orders!

Felties - recycled woolens become new friends by Amy Jo's Handmade




Amy Lyste has created a little gaggle of Felties - soft, lovable and perfectly sized for kids to love through the phases.

They come in three different sizes, and each one is entirely unique. Made from recycled wool sweaters and scarves and hand-made, they have a sweet, content expression. I want to tuck them in at night, they look so sweet all nestled together!

Scandeez Baby Moks from Reclaimed Leather



We're on a roll with the recycling bit. I couldn't be happier! And this stuff is so well designed - so well made. What a dream.
Scandeez makes these sweet baby Moks from reclaimed leather. The tops are simple, understated neutrals. This, as you may know, is hard to find. I tried like crazy to find a pair of simple shoes for elliette without frillies, bows, flowers, sparkles, baubles, etc. No dice. The best part is that they have a great surprise on the soles! Kid-inspired, but classy images adorn the bottom of the shoes, made of hand-cut suede. These are available from 0-3 month up to 12-24 month sizes.

A Second Chance - Everyone Deserves One.


I'm so excited to be working with A Second Chance. Jess Pillmore is a creative force -- and this project is also out for a cause. These beautiful baby blankets and sets of wash cloths are hand-knit on her great-grandmother's knitting needles of re-claimed cotton yarn. Sweaters are collected for the yarn, which is then re-knit into these beautiful pieces. They are so cuddly and soft, with depth and warmth beyond just the yarn. Jess also donates a 
large portion of proceeds to KIVA.org.

Just amazing. If you're in the area, come check them out, you'll fall in love.
