*Opening* Review Julie's Bean Bag

I am always on the lookout for fun gift ideas. I have found another! 

Jade is the founder and owner of Ahh! Products.  She started the company in her apartment in 1998 with a simple website and a big idea to offer bean bag chairs that are not only practical and comfy, but also stylish.  Unable to find any that were washable and looked good in the marketplace, she handmade each one on a borrowed 20 year old sewing machine until the business grew large enough to expand. Jade currently has a hands-on approach to making sure Ahh! Products provides superb customer support as well as the best bean bag chairs around.

You can order matching bean bags for your dolls! How cute is this?? The little doll collector in your life will love the fact she and her doll have matching bean bag chairs. I had a yellow bean bag growing up and it was so comfortable and portable! 

The Lil Me bean bags are made with quality fabrics in fun colors and patterns with hidden zippers.  Ahh! Products

 

Julie loves hers and it will get a lot of use!

My Saige Collection

My Saige collection contains mainly clothing. I do not have the hot air balloon, art set or Picasso. I wish there was a bedroom set to her collection.

CASA

She is such a wonderful doll! I have really enjoyed her more than I thought I would have. And WOW to a GOTY mini doll!

Doll Shoes Storage Solutions

Sorry I have been away from my blog the last couple of days. 

 My dog, Bosley has a tumor at the base of his tail. He is on antibiotics, but may have to have surgery next week. It's a daily thing keeping a watch on his condition.

 ****************************

How do you store your doll shoes? It's nerve wracking because you don't want to lose the mate to those cute pair of cowboy boots and how many flats do we all have by now?? In how many colors?? 

I have a small system where I toss shoes in the upper drawers and boots in the lower drawers. It works fine for me. 

Another alternative is to use a basic hanging jewelry organizer. You can get these anywhere for $10 - $15.

I found a cute tutorial from MAKING FRIENDS.COM on HTM a shoe holder out of a cereal box.
