2011 Handmade Baby Expo- Freckled Lemonade

We are so happy to share with you another great sponsor in our 2011 Handmade Baby Expo- Amber from Freckled Lemonade!!  Amber's Etsy shoppe is filled with fun items for babies and children- including adorable onesies, beaded socks, crochet headbands, jewelry, and more.  Amber's unique touch on each item makes her products a great gift for any little one in your life.

We were given the opportunity to review some of Amber's adorable onesies- the Little Man Onesies.  These are precious little Gerber onesies (in short or long sleeve) with the cutest hand sewn "little man" ties on the front.  I was in love when I first saw them and they when our little goodie package arrived in the mail I was thrilled with the quality and attention to detail that was given to each item.


I can not wait to try our adorable little onesie on our baby Lukas in just a few months!!

We also found in our little package some adorable Beaded Socks- a great toy and clothing item in one!!  Your little one will love wearing these and watching the beads rattle when they find their feet.  (These seem to be very well made but please watch your little ones while wearing these as the beads are very small and could pose a choking hazard).

So cute!!

About Amber from Freckled Lemonade:

This is my story...

I have been crafting for years. I have had my jewelry and hair accessories in different boutiques but I never felt like I could reach out to all of my friends. Through Etsy I am finally able to bring my creations to everyone. I hope you enjoy looking at my site. Thank you so much for taking the time. I love you all so very much. 

I am a stay at home mom of 5...4 girls and 1 boy. They are my prides and joyz:) My husband is a Chiropractor and we've had our own family practice now for about 4 years. There have been good times and bad. I guess most of you are wondering why I have such an amazing haircut...well, in July of 2010, at the age of 33, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I decided to do a breast exam and didn't leave out the nipple. It is a good thing because that is where the cancer had decided to surface...the Dr.'s think I could have had Cancer for at least 1 maybe even 2 years before I found it. There was only really a 25% chance that it would shrink with chemo but I decided to do it, and the Dr.'s wanted to do it first to pull the tumors away from the skin for a smoother reconstruction. It has been a long journey and there have been many trying days but I was fighting not just to fight, but I have such a beautiful family I have been fighting my guts out (literally:) for them. As of January 3rd 2011 I am CANCER FREE! The Chemo not only shrunk the cancer, it completely obliterated it!!!! And the non invasive cells that weren't touched were taken out when I had a double Mastectomy. So, welcome to my life, and my site. It's time to shop and enjoy. Much love to you all. Live life, and Never let it live you!

Since writing my story I have also had to undergo Radiation and another 2 surgeries to move my expanders back into the correct places. I have at least 2 more surgeries left and I hope that after that I am finished. For the next 5 years I will be taking an anti cancer medication as well. All things are good, I am Cancer free and have a whole new way of living my life. Don't take advantage of the little things...because it is the little things that make the most difference. During my treatments I still crafted. Much of what I have listed are things I actually made during treatment. Crafting continues to be my therapy and, next to my husband and my children, my passion. 

Proceeds from my shop will go to pay my doctor/ hospital bills for my Cancer treatments.

I love her wonderful attitude and her amazing view of life!!
