BIG BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Okay, BIG BIG for us! We have been working towards wholesaling some of the items that are exclusive to us and the first one is ready! Here is the announcement as it will be sent out.


It doesn't always take a pea to recognize a real princess. A true princess only needs her crown to set the magic in motion. Use every birthday and it won't even take a magical mirror to recognize who is fairest of all. Each crown is as unique as your princess. Handcrafted in the USA.


We really are hand selecting stores. As retailers, we know that it's important not to sell to everyone in an area. Actually, if any of you know of a store you think our crowns would be magical in, please let me know. As you can tell, we are very excited about this!

That's Mine!

I was going to post about these yesterday to compliment Monday's gift of gab, but was unfortunately distracted. When giving books as a gift, I am a firm believer in signing the inside to mark the occasion. I also think you can take it a step further by adding a bookplate. You can download and print them here at no charge (as long as you don't use them commercially). However, I know there are a lot of very creative artists out there......yes, you know who you are.....who could custom design bookplates to go along with their gift of books. Wouldn't that be a nice touch? This idea is not limited to children's books.

Here's a couple that I thought were cute.

I love how this girl is saying, "That's my book....back off!"

Dr Seuss Branches

Sometimes you need a creative centerpiece that is fitting for children and a bit more whimsical than just flowers. Get some branches, remove all the leaves, and simply put gumdrops on the ends. Here we used just purple for a 4 year old's birthday party, but you can make them with any colors. At Christmas, it is tradition with my kids to make several branches of multi colored ones and set them into the branches of the Christmas tree. We call them Dr Seuss branches. They just remind me of his drawings and imagination with all the colorful ends sticking out all over.

I would love to hear if you have an unusual centerpiece suggestion.

No Pea Required

It doesn't always take a pea and a stack of mattresses to recognize a princess. This tiara is handmade exclusively for us at sea and jae. It can be made in any colors. I know one little girl who wears hers every year for her birthday (and any day in between that she thinks she is a princess). In fact, that's how this item originated. It was such a loved birthday gift, that after a couple of years of birthdays, we knew we had something special. It would even make a fun gift for an "older" birthday princess. Who says the sparklers, cupcakes, and tiaras have to go away when you're not a little girl anymore? I also think it has just the right touch of sweetness and sentimentality to be a new baby girl gift. I like when gifts can start traditions and with this worn every year on her birthday, it does just that. Email me directly if you want more info. It's so new that it's not even listed on our site yet.
