Cool Tricks Feature and Giveaway

Welcome to one of my new sponsors, Cool Tricks.  

This mother of five (granny of five too) specializes in handmade toys, quilts and other fun things.  The best thing about her shop is...

 "All items are originals designed by me, Toni, and are lovingly made in my home, one at a time, no assembly line involved."

These items are made in the USA, in a small town in Montana.  They are unique, original and one of a kind.  Take a look at some favorites:

Meet Rosie, an adorable little pink plush octopus toy

Lots of places to grab onto of this little beast dinosaur plush toy

Two in one!  The reversible baby toddler quilt with beautiful pinks and flowers

Key rings full of personality

A lovely Plush Orange Bird Toy

Mama's Group = 40% off at Kid-N Around Creations

Lori over at Kid-N Around Creations came up with a fabulous idea just for my readers here at Barefoot by the Sea!  Why not create a mother's ordering group?  I was skeptical at first since I have the tendency to over think things.  But, after talking to her, it sounded like a win-win for my readers!  So many of you love her shop and adorable felt items and games so this is a fabulous opportunity!

Here goes - once we get a group of 15 readers from Barefoot by the Sea together who would like to order from Kid-N Around Creations, she will give you 40% off her etsy price!  Yup, that's quite a deal!  With the holidays coming before we know it, it's a perfect chance for you to save.

Simply comment on this post with your email address if you'd like to be a member of this Kid-N Around Creations Mom's Group. You'll automatically be put onto the email distribution list and once 15 Mamas are ready to place the order, Lori will fulfill them and send your item directly to you.

 I love this felt sugar cookie set, Etsy price $12, Mom's group price $7.20!

Remember!  Comment your email address here if you are interested in being a part of this Mom's group and if you aren't familiar with her shop, check it out here to see the adorable items she creates for little ones!
