Graystitch Bibdannas & Giveaway!

One of my absolute FAVORITE things about baby apparel are "bibdannas". I've only really noticed them since having our son, otherwise Ruby would've been rocking them at Sterling's age. I tried making my own once and failed so, SO miserably.

Graystitch was initially created as a desperate solution to drool. Sewing enthusiast & momtrepreneur, Jaime Tessman, had purchased many different bibdannas online, never finding one that met all of her needs. Her journey to construct the perfect bibdanna evolved into an Etsy business which has since branched out to include bows, ties, diaper covers, bags, & bunting.

The bibdannas that Sterling is wearing are not only super cute, but have also proved to be quite durable. They've withstood the trials my son has put them through as well as surviving a trip through the wash. We love that both of these bibs can be worn reversible, too. So it's almost like getting a 2 for 1 deal, right?

I'm giving one lucky reader a chance to win this ADORABLE set of bibdannas (which could be considered unisex). Simply comment about the cutie you plan on having sport these! You'll even get an extra entry for Twitter or Instagram shout-outs by using the hashtag #soZealousforGraystitch.

Contest closes on Sunday, July 20th at Midnight. Winner will be announced here on Monday, July 21st.

Don't forget to visit Graystitch on Etsy! And use the promo code "BLOG10" to get 10% off at checkout.

Best of luck, friends!!

soZealous for Vi Bella Giveaway!!

Happy Giveaway Day!! I know I've been hyping this up all week, but I'm pretty excited about it! As I mentioned before, the lovely folks from Vi Bella Jewelry provided some beautiful, hand-crafted baubles for me to style in a blog post. With our Black Hills vacation set and cluster of gorgeous ladies at my disposal, I knew the wooded landscapes would provide the perfect backdrop for our shoot.

Vi Bella Jewelry is an organization that seeks to transform the lives at at-risk women in Haiti & Mexico by providing sustainable jobs and share the love of Christ with them. Each piece is assembled by a special woman who otherwise might not be able to earn an income in a safe environment to provide for her & her family. Vi Bella is also making a positive impact on the environment by having their artisans use discarded plastic and glass bottles, metal bottle caps, old paper and even oil drums to craft unique handmade pieces.

I am SO inspired by the work that Vi Bella is doing and am honored to share their products & mission with my readers:) You can read the full Vi Bella story here.
