We started the day with a tea party and now I am off to do the dishes, these girls have so much to share this week as they spent the afternoon yesterday at the American Girl Store in New York!
More to come and some Madelon fun finds later this week after a nap and several loads of hand washed dishes,

100 Featured Etsy Shops!


If you remember back to 2014 I posted a list of New Years Resolutions and one of them was to share 100 Etsy Shops with you for 2015. With Madelon's help we have done just that! To view all 100 Etsy shops that I have shared here on the blog since January 1st please click here.
Etsy is a place where you can purchase handmade items for your dolls and purchase items made by people who love what they do. Mostly it is a hobby for sellers who often use the money they make to help their families, children get tutoring or dance class or to supplement the family income. Etsy is a unique community and one  I am proud to support.

This is a reminder that Mini Me Dolly Diva's is helping our local Autism Charity The Canucks Autism Network with the sale of Karen Mom of Three's Craft Blog Doll Shirts. Only 25 will be made and $2 from each shirt go to help families like mine access community programs for their Autistic children. Click here to learn more.

Lots Of Love For Logo-Loops.com

I was sent some Logo-Loop Headbands to review from www.logo-loops.com and Thea and I had so much fun with them. One of the things I noticed right away was that these headbands are stronger and felt like they would hold back our very thick hair. The quality is clearly there in the embroidery too! Dollar Store ones are not so great for us they loose their shape and stretch really quickly.
"Every logo loops headband is made of 90% cotton and 10% lycra for a snug fit, holding back those flyaway hairs. But be assured these stretchy accessories won’t cause a headache unlike stiff wire or plastic headbands. These 2¼” wide themed headbands are ideal for a round of tennis, bike riding or strolling the mall thanks to their absorbency. When bands get dirty, simply machine wash in cold water with the band flipped inside out. Toss in the dryer at low heat. Of course these headbands are “just right” because they’re invented by and the business is owned by a mom of two girls!"

These are some of my favorite ones from their website, modeled by niece Thea.
Here is me in the one I ordered for myself! This is me after mowing the lawn it still in place! I love it! Here is a bit more about what you need to know about Logo Loops!
logo loops $13.99 Headbands are great for all girls! They maintain “memory” and are non-slip. Logo loops can be seen on sports fields, in school classrooms, on stage, in sororities and on cheer squads. They're not just a fashion statement, but compliment any outfit or uniform while keeping hair away from face and eyes. 1½” or 2¼” styles."
Logo-Loops are sold on line and in select stores but you can view their shop and fabulous designs by clicking here.
You can also do custom orders! I love the holiday ones too!
Thank you to Logo Loops for sending these headbands our way! I can not wait to place an order for more! I have so many designs in mind!
