I have always loved browsing Etsy. I am amazed at the wonderful artisans and unique items that can be found there. Frankly, I am jealous. I wish I had that kind of creativity but if I do have an artistic bone in my
body I haven’t discovered it yet.
I recently came across Simply J Crochet which makes these seriously adorable hats that I have always been a sucker for. This newsgirl hat makes me which I had a girl but I don’t think either of my boys would appreciate a purple cap with a flower on it. Darn!
Thankfully, I have lots to choose from for my little guys anyway. Simply J Crochet has a wide variety of items and there are some fabulous choices for boys. I also appreciate that items c
an be made from newborn all the way to Teen size and there is a selection of adult hats as well.Simply J Crochet has also has a blog where you will find monthly raffles and great specials. This month there is a giveaway for a pair of adorable booties. Other offers include a free hair clip with any purchase and free shipping on first item.
From the conversations I’ve had with Jenel, the woman behind Simply J Crochet, you can tell she loves what she does and is passionate about the product she produces. I think it shows in her beautiful work. I hope you check out all she has to offer!
Simply J Crochet is generously giving away your choice of a newsgirl or newsboy hat in any size. I really wish I could win my own giveaway!
Win it:
Visit Simply J Crochet’s Etsy Shop and come back here and comment on your favorite item in her store.Trust me it won’t be hard to find something, the hardest part will be to narrow it down!
