We've gone global!

Wow! I'm proud to announce that word of mouth travels fast. We are 17 months old and we have shipped our blankets across Canada, United States, Italy, England, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia & Egypt!

I've had customers tell me that people have stopped them on the street, restaurants etc. admiring our little blankets!

Our Workshop

As promised I've taken some pictures of my mom busy at work in her pet free smoke free workshop. We sew all of our blankets with an industrial sewing machine. All appliques and names are carefully sewn with a single needle machine - no zig zig used.

Shown above is our finished product!

I've also taken a picture of my daughter Madeleine's room with her favourite blanket!

Caring Friends

I have to consider myself fortunate enough to meet some truly genuine people over the last several months. I have spoken or corresponded with such wonderful people ordering a special blanket for their friends newly adopted or newly born child. They were in search of a special gift to give that special little one! You know who you are!

Over the next few days, I will be taking pictures of our workshop. As you may or may not know we are a mother/daughter team that produce our blankets out of our home workshop. My mother Lidia has over 40 years of experience as a professional seamstress. Her appliques are all done by single needle stitching with an industrial sewing machine. No amateur zig zagging here!

Stay tuned for more!
