I LOVEEEEE etsy.com, probally more than pinterest because, as I would love to think im super mom, but sometimes I dont have the time nor the talent that it takes to make the beautiful products that are found there. Now back to my new little lollipop friend. So its no secret I am a huge picture taker.. I think Nugs second word was "cheeseeeee". I was so lucky when I found the shop Two Little Lollipops and its beautiful camera strap covers made for DSLR cameras. After talking to Miss Dimple, the owner (I know what a cool name right) I felt even better, Turns out we actually went to the same college and lived on the same road for a while! Once she shared her shops story with me, immediately her work became that much more special.
I hope she doesn't mind me sharing but I felt this response was so touching I couldn't help but share
"Thank you for contacting me, my shop is a tribute to my beautiful mom who passed away 4 months ago after battling cancer for 3 years. I find a great deal of comfort when i'm making things, she gave me my creative side and I never want to let it go. It is extremely difficult and my way of coping with her loss is to bury myself in work and stay busy."
I can't even began to imagine how she feels, but I do know what it is like to be surrounded by talented and creative family, and shes right, it is inspiring. I only hope one day Nu and Nug can look back and be proud of me as a mom and I hope they think I was creative and inspiring. ok sniff sniff.....
Now Onto Little Lollipops work..
Check out her esty shop @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/TwoLittleLollipops
Not only does she have amazing camera straps but she has other awesome items listed...
I love the bold fabric choices and bright colors she uses.
When my camera strap arrived I was instantly in LOVE! its so pretty and totally my style.
I got Pink and grey pattern style, the fabric is very good quality and she even lines the inside. There is a pocket you can put memory cards or the lens cover into and it makes the camera actually comfortable to put around your neck or cross body style.
My camera now is all dressed up and ready to go, plus there is never the "is that my camera, or yours" I can be like "you know thats mine, hands off".
She also has included the Black and white damask as a giveaway!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY (details on how you can win will be listed below)
I highly recommend anyone with a DSLR camera to add a strap cover, I don't know why I haven't before now, but im happy I didn't because Little Lollipops are PERFECT!!!
These would make awesome inexpensive gifts for birthdays or special occasions, not to mention the holidays are right around the corner. I think Im going to get one for our family photographer for the next session she does for us.....
