BabyEtte Etsy Shop Review and Giveaway Part Three :: CLOSED

Sunday, November 29, 2009 Posted by •´.¸¸.•¨¯`♥.Erin.♥´¯¨•.¸¸.´•




I’m wrapping up my BabyEtte Etsy Shop 3-week feature – there is still time to enter both giveaways in previous features - a Luxe Neckscape giveaway and a Babywearing Poncho giveaway! Beth’s work has been featured on Etsy many times, in baby gift guides, accessory gift guides, and various treasuries. The workmanship is beautiful in each piece, down to the smallest of details.  This week I’ll be showcasing yet another wonderful item for babywearing Mommas and Daddies. Here is the conclusion of my interview with BabyEtte’s creator:

Do you have any advice for other artists/crafters?
Find what you love and immerse yourself in it. It will shine through in your products. Also, try to be in your photos, if applicable. Your customers will appreciate seeing the artist behind the item they love.
How do you promote your work?
I play around on twitter, facebook, and flickr… but the biggest thing I do is create new designs. I keep adding more to my shop and people are noticing!
Any upcoming events or news that we should know about?

I now have gift certificates available in the shop, perfect for expectant and new mothers. Also, all of my pieces are shipped gift-ready.
BabyEtte's BLACK FRIDAY thru Cyber Monday Special Deals! Shipping is Free Worldwide, yes, even to Australia! Also, all of the "Get You Noticed" jacquard Slings will be in a special 20% off Section in the shop!!

This summer, I became very aware how hot I could get with Charlie in a sling. Miserable is an accurate way to describe it. So, when Beth asked if I had any suggestions for her shop, I remember asking about a lightweight sling that’s more breathable. What she came up with couldn’t have been more spot on! She sent me a Water Baby Mesh Ring Sling in black. I only wish I had a sling like this from the start, I tend to get overheated quickly. This sling is perfect for hot days, walks in the park, or just taking a dip in a wade pool. 

BabyEtte’s slings are all designed with your needs in mind, working for newborns and toddlers both. The shoulder of the sling is pleated, making for an extremely comfortable babywearing experience. All of your little one’s weight is distributed evenly... so no Motrin is needed {ahem}.  The soft jersey mesh fabric used is lightweight, but still incredibly strong and durable. Quick drying, perfect for waterplay! And you can coordinate your sling color with your swimsuit:


Gold, Royal Blue, Purple, Black, Red, White, Burgundy, and Orange.

While summer is now long gone, I’m still getting plenty of use out of my Water Baby Mesh Ring Sling! It’s great during cooler months under a Babywearing Poncho, like what I wore when we went to the pumpkin patch. Or to wear to a football game at a friend’s house {see also: Team Spirit Ring Slings}. One thing is for certain - I’m definitely packing it with us for our upcoming trip to Great Wolf Lodge! I know Charlie will love wading comfortably with me in our sling. I can't wait!


I hope you enjoyed getting to know the woman, crafter, and mother behind BabyEtte. It was my absolute pleasure to be able to share some of the pieces that Charlie and I use often with my readers. And of course being able to give the ultimate props to my sister is pretty cool too.



Beth has generously offered ONE reader a prize of one of these three options:
1.      A Water Baby Mesh Sling {choice color} OR
2.      A Basic Ring Sling {not to exceed $42} OR
3.      $42 credit toward any other purchase at BabyEtte.
Open worldwide

  29. Wedding_Skulls said...

    If I could get another item from the shop, it would be ANOTHER Water Baby mesh sling - I have two friends with newborns at the moment, and I've never seen cooler, trendier looking slings that would match their clothing (they're both goths).

    So if I won, I would love the Water Baby mesh sling in red.

    I've also added Babyette as an etsy favorite (weddingskulls)
