There is no shortage of sweet, soft plush toys for babies and kids. But Kristin's work stands out from the crowd in its elegance, bold design, and amazing use of fabrics. Kristin is passionate about fabric of all kinds - she even has a feature on her blog called "Fabric Friday" where she talks about the special fabric she's using or inspired by that week: http://kltworks.blogspot.com/search/label/Fabric%20Friday

| The chewable (and washable!) Slug Lovey, $25 |
Kristin is a wealth of knowledge about kids' products and it's always fun to hear about what she's discovered. She is a very busy person, somehow managing to make all of her wonderful creations, run her business, write insightful and frequent blog posts, keep up with all of her social media sites, and be an active and involved mother to Sayer (pictured in the owl hoodie, below). We aren't sure how she does it all, but are fortunate that she does! Hope to see you Friday night for this special event.

I love KLT designs so much! They're all wonderful, modern and fresh! Such a pity I can't come to finally meet sweet Kristin! (5,500 miles over the pond :)
ReplyDeleteWish you all a good time Friday evening! :)
Hand-made, attention to detail and quality can all be found with Kristin's products. We are lucky to have 'Dewey' adopted to our family and my 5yo loves him to bits! I only wish I could walk in to your store to meet Kristin in person. She is a wonder-mompreneur! Have a great evening everyone.
ReplyDeleteAh, a little late to comment here (better late than never) :) This was so much fun! Thanks for the opportunity. Wish Daria & Chantale could have seen your beautiful store in person! :)
