SHE Team Celebrates the Holidays Giveaway - Day 8 & 9

Homeschool Boutique


This t-shirt is our best seller!

It reads: Yes, I'm Homeschooled Yes, I'm socialized Yes, I had class today.
The image is pink on a 100% cotton chocolate shirt.


Avery's Attic


These are a favorite bib of mine that was used with my children. Made from thick and absorbent washcloths, they are large enough to provide complete cover for your baby from infancy through toddlerhood. Excellent for droolers, eaters, and then for cleaning up with after the mess has been made. Because it is also a washcloth, just rinse it out at the sink to be able to clean little hands and faces! Ties closed, so there is no need for gaps at the neck! My niece even likes to wear hers as a small cape when she is not at the table! :) Truely a useful and versatile bib.

The winner for the great washcloths by
Rachel's Aprons is Birchleaf Designs.

SHE Team Celebrates the Holidays Giveaway - Day 4 & 5 -


Chrysler Creek


This Cabernet scent is unequaled for it's smooth, robust and explosive fruity scent that will absolutely fill your home with it's warmth. This glass is filled with 14 ounces of my smooth soy & botanical wax that melts evenly all the way down. The scent stays in the wax unhampered until the wax turns liquid...like I said I burned this very candle for a year and the scent was just as strong as it was the day I lit it. If you like fruity scents...this is the candle for you. It will absolutely fill your home with it's warm, full, rich scent!

As always, I have used the cleanest fragrance oil available... no headaches from this scent and I have used all cotton wicks like my customers have come to expect.

The snowflake design makes it fun and elegant. I have added on a hangtag that lets you know the scent and tied it on with a blue ribbon that has silver snowflakes and the words "falling snow" printed on it.


Rachel's Aprons

A day at the beach set of 2 cotton wash cloths



Eco-Friendly and beautiful? Yes you can have it all!
100% Cotton Wash/Dish cloths are super absorbent, sturdy for tough counter and dish stains, wash well, and they last so much longer than the green and yellow ones you end up throwing out later. As a washcloth these are so soft! It will be your favorite wash cloth to use.
The cloths wash well and are 100% cotton. They make great additions to bridal shower presents, holiday gifts, or housewarming presents (or keep for yourself!) They are approximately 8 inches (20cm) x 8 inches (20cm).

To enter this giveaway go visit the shop and come back and comment. There will be new items on Thursday so don't forget to check back.

Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12


Our second item is from Ancient Game Cupboard

Achi - An African Tic-tac-toe type board game

Achi is a fun twist on what we know as tic-tac-toe. Once all of the pieces are on the 3"x3" board, players slide their pieces along the lines until someone gets three in a row.

Game comes with rules and pieces in a drawstring bag (colors and styles of bags vary).

Makes a great stocking stuffer, gift for Kwanzaa or a little something to tuck into a care package for college students or military troops!

Our Achi boards are made with reclaimed wood.

Saturday's first item is from Hazel Honey.


Great little zippy pouch for music fans (and I mean who doesn't love tunes ??)

Body of the bag is constructed from a brown velveteen fabric.

Music notes are pleather appliques.

Inside is fully lined in solid black fabric.

Quilters batting sandwiched between the fabric layers adds padding and shape.

Measures 7.5" w x 5" tall

Top closes with a zipper to keep goodies in !!



Our second giveaway item for Saturday is from Toys From Nature.

Needlefelted Mermaid Doll


My mermaid is needlefelted using clean wool and a felting needle. She was shaped by thousands of little pricks and pokes with a felting needle until her true form emerged. She is robed in dyed fleeces in skin tones, blues, and a lovely crown of golden hair that wraps around her tail. Her tail has extra wool at the bottom in a deeper blue, with the ends left unfelted to form her fins.

Felted on a wire frame, this 8" mermaid is poseable (her arms move, and she has some movement in her waist). Because the felting technique is delicate, it produces delicate pieces. These toys are really good for display if you have young children. Children ages 6+ can handle them gently and use them in their play without damaging them. They're also lovely on a nature table to herald the change of the seasons.

Introducing Just Like Rebekah

The Schooling at Home Etsy team not only has parents that are schooling their children at home, but we also have a few students as well. Rebekah is one of the high school students that are a part of this team. Please take some time to look around her shop.


Here is what she says:

" I am a student who enjoys ballet as well as making things. For the past few summers, I have gone to several summer intensives including Ballet Magnificat! and Joffrey South. I have found that these intensives are quite hard to pay for and so I started selling things that I made and eventually this shop was born. All proceeds from this shop help me pay for my summer intensives. Thanks for visiting Just Like Rebekah."

You can read more about Rebekah in her Etsy profile or on her blog.

These keychains have a mirror on one side and this beautiful decoration on the other side. There are more ideas at her shop, check it out.

Introducing Ocean Breeze

Otherwise known as mompotter, this shop is full to overflowing right now with jewelry at great prices.


A little bit about Linda...

I am a homeschooling mom with four children ranging in age from 2 to 10 years old. I have a MFA in ceramics and have been without a studio to work in for several years now. I began making jewelry a few years ago both as a creative outlet and to supplement our one income family.

I enjoy the creative process and tend to be a perfectionist. I make everything to the best of my ability. It's a curse really!


I really try to keep my prices in a range that makes the items affordable for one income families. There is no reason why everyone shouldn't be able to wear something beautiful. If you prefer something that I have made in a sterling silver I am happy to work with you on pricing.


If you would like something for a child or teen I am always happy to work with you on size and styles. Please take a look around the shop and be sure to remember me for Christmas shopping.


If you don't see something in the color you like, just ask! Special orders keep be from getting bored with my own ideas.
