Cottage Industry



The girls have been into finding things to make and then having a shop stand in our front yard. Not a lot of shoppers to lure in the mid afternoon of a week day, but they still have fun. Here are the fun finger knitted yarn belts that are the lastest trend in the house. They also work great for all sorts of imaginative play.





I love the color combinations.

I love it ... What a great idea to set up a little shop stand in your front yard filled with handmade treasures from your kids! Sounds like fun :)

This is so great! I remember going door to door in our neighborhood to sell little things that I had made. I remember feeling so proud! Your girls are wonderful artists!

Hello - blog hopping via Magic Onions. Lovely post - reminds me of when I was small and we used to have little shops too - usually selling bunches of daisies and dandelions.

So cute! I remember when my girls did this in our neighborhood, and no one came by (1/2 our neighborhood is part timers) - but Dad and I bought some stuff!
