If these bean bags could talk…

in Cositas

Etsy is my favorite site to browse for original, artistic and unique Finds.  You´ll be happily surprised at the many cute things you can find for our niños and for ourselves that are bursting with attitude and have been created by Latinos y Latinas.

I´m especially fond of supporting artists who are keeping it real by doing what they love.

It was here that I found Miss Butler´s Etsy shop where she showcases her vibrant creations which are all made with fabrics that remind her of her travels thru México and Latin America.

Her Spanish-English bean bag set is so wonderfully unique that I had to share it with you.  Kids like to throw stuff around, that we know very well.  Why not give them these adorable bean bags to release some kiddie tension with?  Or, you can just keep them to yourself-yes, we´re allowed- to use as door stoppers or paper weights.

Each set comes with four bean bags made with colorful fabric prints.  One has a burro on one side and words in Spanish on the flip.  There´s one with a folkloric Mexican niño and niña with a piñata on the reverse.  Another bag will teach them colors in Spanish and English and one more with numbers from 1-6 in Spanish.

This will be one of those things you own that people will be asking about:  “How cute!  Where did you get this?”  Well, since these are handmade and the fabric is so special, this is truly a rare find and you can tell them so.

A Giveaway!!

Congratulations to our winner:  Heather Goldsmith!!

We’re giving away a set of Miss Butler’s bilingual bean bags!  For a chance to win it go to Miss Butler’s Etsy shop, then come back here and tell us what else from her catalog you liked.

I really like the Red Bird Bobby Pins. They look folky but still wearable and not at all costume. :)
