Garden Of Arden

I am so excited to share a beautiful shop with you all today! Garden Of Arden is a beautiful vintage inspired accessories shop perfect for little girls. Garden Of Arden was founded in March 2013 by Ashley a mother of a little girl and a passionate of Pilates, traveling and designing.

Ashley started Garden Of Arden when her daughter Arden was 9 months old as a little hobby, but little did she knew that her hobby would become a successful shop really fast. Garden Of Arden have the perfect hair accessories to complete your girl's outfits. Their vintage inspired headbands are so cute and chic. I love all the small and large flowers, crowns, metallic, sequins and satin that she uses.

A girl can never have too many hair accessories and  Garden Of Arden is the perfect shop to buy them. We never leave the house without a headband, bow or a clip.

All items are made with high quality fabric and ribbons and the ends are heat sealed to prevent fraying and ensure a long lasting hairpiece. Ashley lined all alligator clips herself to ensure they do not snag the hair on your princess’s head.

Keepy, the best app for parents

I'm always searching for good free Apps so that I can keep photos and memories of my children. When I heard about Keepy app I downloaded it immediately, I wanted to try I right away. I have to say that is really easy to use. It helps you stay organized and saves your families memories, photos, videos, artwork and much more, there is no need to feel like a bad parent any more when secretly tossing in the trash a scrap of paper with your child's scribbled that you don't know if is worth keeping. This App is something every parent will not only find a great use for but will totally fall in love with. Everything can be accessed in the free Keepy app or on your very own private Keepy website

With Keepy you can record yours or your child's voice or create a video telling the story behind each memory, the best thing is that you can share your videos and photos with your loved ones. There is no need of scissors or glue anymore, with Keepy you can create a virtual memory book.  Each member of the family gets their very own memory timeline and Fans can show their love by leaving voice, video or text comments on your memories.

Behind Keepy


My name is Offir and I'm the CEO and co-founder of Keepy. I'm also a dad of two boys :)

I created Keepy because I wanted to find a way to save and share all of my family’s memories in one safe place: photos, videos, artwork, schoolwork, awards, mementos, and more. My wife, my kids and I add voice and video “stories” to many of our memories to enrich them. And, of course, we share them with our close family and friends so they can comment and add their love to each "keepy moment" too.

I don’t want my kids to grow up any faster than they already are, but when they do, they’re going to love to look back at Keepy to see (and hear) the story of their lives.

Feel free to email me at any time with questions, suggestions, or just a hello.

Thanks again for using Keepy for your family’s precious memories.

Keep on keepying on :)

1. Tell us a little bit about Dylan James Kids e.g. Materials you like to work with, trends, etc.
 
When I started Dylan James Kids, I wanted to make jewelry that is trendy yet never goes out of style. It was important to me that the kids love it as much as the moms. I love using silk cord for necklaces because the colors are vibrant and rich. 

2Who is behind Dylan James Kids ? e.g. tell us a bit about the owner and the reason why Dylan James Kids stared
 
I have always worked in the fashion industry but when I had kids I chose to be a full time mom.  I started making jewelry for my son and daughter and loved that I was able to use my creativity while being a full time mom. Now I am able work while I watch my kiddies play which makes me so happy! I also have the best critics and toddler jewelry testers!

Behind Lookie Loo Loo
 
 
 
1. Tell us a little bit about Lookie Loo Loo. e.g. Materials you like to work with, trends, etc.
 
I won't use any materials or fabrics I wouldn't put on my own kids. When I purchase new fabrics, I always test them out on my boys first. Everything endures a few days wearing and a couple washes prior to being added to the shop. I love the organic cotton knit for leggings and am stuck on American Apparel for my tees. Both materials are the best I've found for wash and wear. 

2Who is behind Lookie Loo Loo? e.g. tell us a bit about the owner and the reason why Lookie Loo Loo stared.
 
I'm Erica, and the proud mama to 1 & 2 year old little boys. Prior to Lookie Loo Loo, I worked as a marketing director for 10 plus years. My experiences have run the gamut from promotions in the number one radio station in Chicago, to a family recruiter for a foster care agency in Arizona and the first Community Manager for Memphis Yelp. I had to leave the work place when we found out I was pregnant with my second son. There just wasn't enough time in the day for me to devote to both them and a full time job. I fell in love with Etsy back in 2008 as a single, twenty-something female. Once I had kids, Etsy became this brand new outlet for me. I spent hours on the site finding items to decorate both boys' nurseries. My husband kept pushing me to open my own shop, but I never had any idea what it was I wanted to create. When I opened in February, I was doing cardstock banners. I quickly figured out that I needed to learn to sew. So, I took one beginner class that lasted about an hour and took to Youtube to learn the rest. As a mama to two boys, I can never find anything stylish and fabulous for them to wear. I knew that I ultimately wanted to create something for them. I certainly can't be the only mama out there who doesn't want her kiddos wearing the same thing everyone else grabbed off the rack at Target. I was so tired of looking in their closets and only seeing shirts with cars, boats and sports themes. Once I got my sewing down with leggings and skirts, I jumped on the screen printing train, thanks to some pushing and help from a wonderful friend who also owns a shop.  I hand screen print everything you see in the shop right in my kitchen. It's mass chaos, and always a fight for organization, but it works! 
 
 
3. Is there any brand besides yours that you would recommend or that you admire?

One thing I have to say about this community of hand made shops, everyone is so unbelievably supportive. I have made some of the best friends through Lookie Loo Loo. I joke, and call Stacie Downs from Ahoy Amigo, my "Etsy Bestie." We text nonstop throughout the day and constantly run ideas past one another. I admire her so much, not only because she pushes me to be a better me, but because she's also juggling two kids, a husband who works crazy hours and a full-time business all on her own. Most of these shops are just that, a one woman (or man) show. I'm currently also obsessing over Whistle and Flute, Freshly Picked, Indie Nook, Dudley Denim and Opposite of Far.

4. What is the best advice you can give to someone just starting out on their own?
 
The best advice I can give is quit comparing yourself to everyone else! I was recently given the advice from a bigger shop, "don't hate your beginning." It rang so true for me. I feel like I am constantly pushing myself to be better and bigger, when in reality, I'm not stopping myself to enjoy it all and take it in. Lookie Loo Loo has only been open for 7 months and is already exceeding my wildest expectations. As a parent, you always hear that you should enjoy every moment because it goes by so fast. These small businesses are in a way, our babies. I feel that advice goes hand in hand with this as well. One day in the not so distant future, you're going to look back on this beginning stage and laugh. You're also going to wonder why you took yourself so seriously. I'm currently struggling with all of that.
