One of my favorites places to look for cool new finds is on
Etsy. I'm always floored with the talent that is displayed.
Nili, owner of
Portland Beanie Company is one I am truly amazed by. First, because these beanies are the cutest I've ever seen & second , because she has made thousands of them by hand, by herself. For those of you who have ever tried crochet, know it takes a lot of patients to finish just one project. So when you check out
pdxbeanies, you'll appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship it takes to produce such fabulous products. There's styles for the whole family, everything from beanies to Mary Jane Slippers. Oh and the pictures are just to cute for words:)
Portland Beanie Company is offering
Simple Finds readers a 15% off rebate on any order. Be sure to type code "simplefinds" in the "message to the seller" section of checkout. Please note this is a rebate since it won't be automatically applied but will be issued as a partial refund after the order and payment are sent.
And the best part of the day is the GIVEAWAY! One lucky winner can take their pick of one of the children's beanies in any size between 0-3 months and 5T-preteen!
A $30 value
