Mighty Chalky!

We were mighty happy to find that the Chalkydoodles Halloween Treat Bag was featured last week on the Mighty Junior shopping blog as part of the “Candy Carrier Roundup.”

Our Chalkboard Treat Bag, made with black & white and orange & white gingham Mexican oilcloth and flexible, erasable chalkcloth is part of the Chalkydoodles Halloween 2008 Collection. We love this bag because you can write your kiddo’s name write on our signature Chalk Block or let your little goblin draw his own spooky, chalky art. The entire bag wipes up with a damp cloth.

Here’s what we’ve learned about the really cool Mighty Junior blog (quoted from the About section at http://mightyjunior.com/about) :

“Mighty Junior is a shopping blog that features great stuff for kids. It’s updated five days a week, and is a sister site to Mighty Goods. We spend a great deal of time finding and posting things kids will love. Our award-winning sites are among Time Magazine’s Top 50 Cool Sites, and have earned honors as best shopping website by both BusinessWeek and Forbes Magazines…

These aren’t just any old things, these are exactly the right things. They will make your kids stronger, smarter, and kinder. They will remind you that the kids you love are the best kids. They will encourage you to fortify the economy with your purchasing power.”

Wow – now that’s a mighty blog!

A nice, big thank you goes out to Mighty Junior writer and curator Melissa Summers of Suburban Bliss. We agree that you are a mighty mom with excellent taste!

Craftsbury Kids partners with hand-selected artists to offer handmade, original products for babies and children from across the globe. Craftsbury Kids founder and mom, Cecilia Leibovitz, has thirteen years of experience in the children’s industry and her unique talent and excellent taste is delightfully sprinkled onto every Craftsbury Kids artist profile and product description.

Cecilia’s focus has always been on handmade and eco-friendly items, and her ability to find and feature artists that offer truly unique products is key to the one-of-a-kind handmade shopping experience you will find on the Craftsbury Kids site.

Here’s what Craftsbury Kids has to say about their unique approach to children’s gifts, toys and clothing:

“Our mission is to offer parents and gift-givers an alternative to mass-produced goods, items that offer a caliber of quality that many people aren’t aware still exists for the younger set. We endeavor to help talented artists and crafters earn a living doing what they love, while enriching the lives of children by offering beautiful products that will help to encourage a life-long appreciation for the arts.”
