Toile Tales Etsy Review and Giveaway

May 16, 2010

***This contest is now closed. Congratulations Julia! An email has been sent.***

Toile Tales is created by Amy and Lori, a team of two stay-at-home-moms who had a passion for sewing, crocheting and photography. They put their talents to good use by living through their inspiration as they brought their craft and ideas together to begin their own Etsy shop! Toile Tales offers absolutely adorable (and functional) hats, scarves and other accessories. In addition, between these two busy moms they are raising eight children, seven of whom are girls so it’s no wonder where they get their inspiration from! Once you check out their designs on Etsy, you’ll quickly see why Toile Tales is becoming increasingly popular.

I reviewed a crocheted visor brim beanie from The Sweetheart Collection. It is a rose pink color in the size of 2t-4t to fit my daughter. I also had the ladies add one of their beautifully crocheted flowers to accent the hat {which can be done to any piece in their collections for an additional $6}. The flower is also easily removable and looks cute in my daughter’s hair alone as well. Totally multi-functional and we love that! The beanie is made with 100% cotton yarn and this is how absolutely adorable my daughter looks in it:

Too cute for words and my daughter actually leaves it on her head! You can follow Toile Tales on Twitter and “like” them on Facebook here.
