Pretty Girl Bows

This etsy seller really has it down to an art. She takes amazing pictures, makes very cute items in great color pallettes, and also has some of the cutes models :)
She has a wide variety of items too. They all look very well made, and it appears she takes pride in her work.
To learn more about her, here is her etsy profile:
"Hi, My name is Stacey. I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful daughter, Addalyn Grace. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful husband who works very hard so that I do not have to work full-time and can be at home with our daughter. After Addie was born, I began to develop an interest in hair bows and other girly things that had not interested me before. I started to love to dress Addie with cute bows in her hair, but I found many of the bows to be very expensive. So.....I learned how to make them myself. I found I really enjoyed this and began making them for friends, baby shower gifts, birthday gifts and just for fun. I have now decided to turn my love of bow making into something more than a hobby.(Hopefully!) Thanks for looking and I look forward to working with you!"

CPISA Law

This is an excerpt from a Yarn Guild who is fighting for the rights of craft producers and consumers in the United States found HERE:
"• In conclusion, all the test data gathered to date on products made from pre-dyed or un-dyed fibre, have
shown that consumer craft products sold and distributed in the US are essentially lead and phthalate free. While y p
materials and test data presented today has focused on the manufacturing of handknit products, all other
products made from natural or synthetic fibres would p yyield very similar results.
• We believe that consumer craft products manufactured anddistributedintheUSmarketstodayaresignificantlyand distributed in the US markets today are significantly
below the minimum lead and phthalates content levels established by the CPSIA 2008, and all consumer craft
