This was a really fun giveaway and I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. Thank you! I’m happy to report that we have 2 winners!

Random Drawing Winner: Congratulations to Jenn! She’s the winner of our Kitten with Mittens crib shoes!

Crib Shoe Theme Winner: You guys had some terrific ideas. It was a really tough decision, but after speaking with Laurie, we have two new designs that we’ll soon be introducing in the shop: 1) mouse with cheese and 2) gnome with toadstool. (We’ll also be introducing a variation of the kitten with mittens.) So congrats also go to Kathy for suggesting the toadstools. It may take several weeks, but once these are ready for the shop, we’ll be sending Kathy a pair of her own.

Thanks everybody! We’ll be having another giveaway soon! And thanks again to Laurie for her amazing talent!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a FREE Vintage Friday! Well we’re bringing it back with an awesome giveaway! Many thanks to Laurie at Old School Acres for hosting this giveaway. Everybody is smitten with Laurie’s felt crib shoes. She’s working on a new design and she has graciously given us this pair to give away to one lucky winner! Take a peek at her brand new and adorable Kitten & Mittens crib shoes:

To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling us a NEW shoe theme idea you would like to see Laurie make. (If you haven’t seen her collection, check it out here.) We’ll draw one winner at random to win this pair.

But wait! There’s more! If Laurie and I choose YOUR shoe theme idea to include in the shop, we’ll also send that person a FREE pair of the new shoes once they are completed! We can’t promise we’ll choose any of the ideas submitted, but we’re hoping you knock our mittens off! So put your thinking caps on and give us some great ideas!

Entries will be accepted until Sunday 4/18 at 11pm EST. Winner(s) will be announced on the blog the following week. Good luck and Happy Easter!

For the first time ever, The Baby Gardner is offering an exclusive sale on our entire Crib Shoe Collection! Buy any pair of crib shoes at regular price and get a second pair of crib shoes for 50% OFF! Feel free to mix and match any styles in any sizes.

Santa’s working overtime in his shop until Christmas, so turnaround time for crib shoes will require only 7-10 days to receive.

Here’s a sneak peek at our brand new coordinating line of vintage-inspired baby shower invitations, decorations, favors and more. We’re calling this line Bundle of Joy and we’re designing it in such a way that it can work perfectly for a vintage baby girl shower, a vintage baby boy shower, or a vintage don’t-have-a-clue shower. Bunny, duck and bear with their bottles, booties and pins can be found throughout this line and give it a vintage flair you’ll find hard to resist.

Look for this new and exclusive line to appear at The Baby Gardner in late January.   [UPDATE: The new collection has arrived!]
