After the Bump is a shop full of continuous goodies!
Amanda, from After the Bump, is more than  delight to work with…

Her yarns are soft, supple and perfect for delicate baby skin,
and her designs have a beautiful blend of simplicity and whimsy… which I adore!

When I asked Amanda for a custom hat, one I’ve been on the lookout for… she not only jumped on it, but created a perfect hat, and JUST what I was looking for!

WHO WANTS TO WIN?!

Kole Frames | Featured Shop and Review

Before I even start this review of Kole Frames I have to take a minute to talk about the shop owner, Megan Horsch.  She is probably one of the most talented, crafty, creative women I’ve ever met (well we haven’t officially “met” but I feel like she is definitely a great online friend!).  She is also sweet and adorable and I am thrilled to be the one to review one of her newest product lines….the Kole Frame, named after her son Kole.  These frames are made in her hometown of St. Michael, MN by Megan’s husband Kurt.  They are beautiful and unique and I didn’t really get a full appreciation for just how wonderful they are until my frame arrived.  Wow!! I was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship and the fact that they come finished and ready to hang.  How easy is that?  The colors are so vibrant and fun and add one of Megan’s digital mattes that she sells in her etsy shop and you have the icing on the cake!!  Make sure you check out the digital mattes.  They are so cool and unique.  If you are looking for something to set you apart with your clients the matte and frame combo is the way to go.  Just gorgeous!!

Here are some pics I took of my Kole frame in the studio:

 

Even the back is beautiful!!

Ok, so you know the drill, what would a review be without a fabulous giveaway and discount??

Well here is the 411
