HC Designer Feature: crazy*couture and jsgav

Applique and boy's garments are definitely not in my repertoir. I can do a little bit of both, but I just don't have the patient. I truly admire designers who can do applique work, because they take a lot of creativity and a lot of time and last but not least a lot of skill.

That's why I have to feature a couple of HC designers that do both appliques and boy's clothing.

The first one is crazy*couture. This Pirates tee and clam digger pants set will be custom made from size 1 to 5T. Absolutely adorable and totally boys!

The second one is jsgav. This Under the Sea Shark set consist of appliqued hooded top and appliqued dark denim shorts. And the set will be custom made from size 2 to a size 10. Your boys will love this!

Bargain Alert: Vincent Shoes and Fabric Depot

O.K, I know I featured Vincent Shoes before, but I just have to feature it one more time because of this sale. They have a lot of shoes marked down starting today, it is up to 75% off.

Today I got 3 pairs of shoes + shipping for $25.00. Now where can you get children shoes for that price. Children's feet grow very fast, I know my kids' do. My kids also hard on their shoes, they do a lot of activities. So I'm all for high quality shoes that won't break the bank. And these shoes are just so adorable, these are designer's shoes, and not the ones you can find the style easily in regular store, they are truly unique. Your kids will get tons of compliments! Oh yeah, especially for model/photographer mommies whose sons and daughters do alot of modeling, you can definitely afford to grab several pairs for both props and everyday wears.

Just like these 2 indoor shoes below, each are on sale for $6.25.

Don't forget to use coupon code TFG20 to get 20% off your total purchase, no minimum purchase. So go visit this awesome site and fill up your shopping bag with these Swedish children shoes:
