great gift ideas for the start of summer

My mom has a shop on etsy now called Popham Lane, that I've been meaning to tell you about. But now I just HAVE to, because look what she has added:
Personalized Beach Towels! 
 
You choose the towel color and type of fabric (flowers, ballerinas, puppies...) and for only $15, you have a totally unique gift! Wouldn't these be great for camp or swim lessons?

And - if you're looking for teacher gifts, she has fabric lunch bags - for eco-minded teachers - and check out these cute, cute aprons for $15:
 

And, if you think my quilts are nice, you should see hers. If you're looking for a baby gift or a wedding gift, she's your girl! How beautiful is this quilt?
 

end of summer giveaway

This week, in honor of refusing the end of summer, I'm giving away this adorable, very bright and cheery Citrus Dots gift set from Eliza Grace Design, which is a little online boutique I've begun with gifts for modern babies and mommies. Every piece is handmade and features fun, modern cotton prints - a nice break from the traditional pink and blue baby gifts! Eliza Grace burp cloths feature coordinating modern cotton prints and are backed with absorbent terry cloth. Burp cloths and bibs both have a layer of cotton batting to make sure they can absorb anything a baby can dish out. Bibs are backed with super-soft minky to be extra comfy. If you would like to win, please leave a single comment. A valid email address is required, but you do NOT have to have a blog to play. I'm sorry, but I can only mail to addresses in the U.S. and Canada. Good luck! Comments will close Friday at noon and I will randomly draw a name from my comments on Friday afternoon, August 24! For more great drawings and for full details and instructions, Check out Trista's End of Summer Blog Party, over at her blog, The Pumpkin Patch. update: this giveaway is closed!
