A little help from Etsy

If you have not checked out Etsy, do yourself a favor! It's an amazing website full of creativity and beautiful handmade products. The site is a collaboration of thousands of artists who may or may not have their own business websites, but showcase their goods in one spot ... which makes it easy for you to navigate all in one place. You can search by product category, color and even proximity if you are looking for local artisans. You will thank me (your wallet might be mad at me, but I'm sure you'll score some great finds).

In recent planning of my son Max's 6th birthday party (with Kobe!), we enlisted two Etsy ladies. We threw a Lego party, and found some adorable invitations and party favors. A shout out to both for exceptional customer service and just perfectly pleasant correspondence from the get-go to the finished products.




Invitations created by Carolyn at Cards with Care.

Carolyn actually suggested the soaps for party favors, which led me to...
Lego shaped soaps for the goodie bags created by Denise at AJ Sweet Soap








And for anyone local to Deerfield/North Shore, Lego Beth did a great job with the party!

The boys had a blast.  And so did the adults :)
