This amazingly, adorable bow for your lil girl AND the earrings could be yours thanks to Trendy Lil Monkey. The bow is not yet been put in her shop....so if you win...you will be THE FIRST to get this whimsical bow! Two prizes for FREE!!!
The shop owner and designer is a fellow Etsy Kids Member and her name is Yaima. We live in the same state in New England, so I am a bit partial. :) She is a 29 year old mom of 3 beautiful kids and wife to "a great husband who
is able to understand my passion." She recently just started college 2 days ago and says, "I'm hoping for all A's!" She calls herself a "crafty girl" and she enjoys scrapbooking, and anything handmade and whimsical. She says "I love spending time outdoors with the family whether it be cook outs,
beach, park with the lil' ones, theme parks and of course craft fairs! Thankfully this Summer has been perfect for all of this."
Yaima makes some adorable bows and really cute earrings! Her shop has only been open a little more than a year, so lets give her some love! When I asked her about her shop she said, "Trendy Lil' Monkey is a Chic and Trendy children's shop designed with
your precious lil' monkey in mind! We feature fabulous accessories for
any occasion. I sell handmade accessories for lil' & big girls
alike." Big girls like me! :)
"Our bows are made with layers of the highest quality grosgrain ribbon and are all sewn together securely." I believe it! Just look at this adorable one for Halloween!

Yaima started making hair accessories when her first daughter was born (she is now 10 years old). She made them because she loved to have the uniqueness of having something handmade for her lil one. Until a year ago, she had been making them for family and friends and then decided to market her shop on the wonderful world of Etsy. I asked her how she went about picking her shop's name and she said, "I call all 3 of my kids my lil monkeys and 'Trendy' is perfect because I love to be on top of the latest trends as I'm sure most moms do as well.
Her inspirations are her two lil girls. She says her ten year old still wears bows to school ("just not as loopy as they were when she was younger."). Yaima says, "I love
the way even the smallest accessory changes the complete look." Yaima is a dedicated mom and it must be hard to juggle everything with her shop. So I asked her a bit about the juggling act. "Being a mom of 3 kiddos two girls (10yr old and a 1 yr old) and a 2yr
old boy(did I mention the last two are 10 months apart CrAzY!!!) is hard juggling school, home, soccer and business, but it's not impossible. I
think once you have kids, you learn to adapt very well" she laughed.
"I love creating new things for the shop and it is a stress reliever. I
must say, it feels great to know someone out there is wearing something
you made with your two lil' hand." I totally Agree!
I had to ask her what some of her favorite Etsy Kids Shops were and these were the ones she listed (check them out if you get a chance):
goodygoodytutus http://www.etsy.com/shop/goodygoodytutus
kookycritters http://www.etsy.com/shop/kookycritters
birdyboots http://www.etsy.com/shop/birdyboots

"and I am now a new fan of your work as well" ... lol She HAD to say that!!! :)
Yaima says she likes being part of Etsy because " you get to showcase your work to an audience that
appreciates it as much as you do, as well as meeting other designers like myself."
As always...I a love to ask an unexpected question so I asked: What are the first 5 things you would do if you won a million dollars?"With a million dollars I would payoff my house, go on a long overdue vacation ,save some $$$ for the kids ,and buy lots of ribbon (I can't get enough!)"
I hope, if you are reading this, you are inspired by the wife, mom, designer, business owner and now student! She is showing us we can have it all and I for one am inspired that she is going to college. I am going back myself this next semester for design! :)
