I LOVE Wooden Toys!!!

Maybe it's because I grew up going to Silver Dollar City, in Branson, Missouri, or maybe it's because I feel like I should've been born in the time of Laura Ingalls Wilder, or Anne of Green Gables, but I LOVE wooden toys! They are so imaginitive, and even almost alive to me. So that's why I'm hoping that we can win a natural finish racing car from Maple Landmark, via Seven Dogs and a Baby. These toys are not only NOT made in China, but they are made right here in the USA! In Vermont to be exact. You can read more about their company on the Seven Dogs blog, or on Maple Landmark's website.

If you love wooden toys, and you want to try and win the natural finish racing car, be sure to get over to Seven Dogs and a Baby before September 15th.

Happy Tuesday! Today's "Toys on Tuesdays" feature is all about crocheted toys. I have searched all over Etsy, and there are SO many crocheted toys! The thing I love about these toys, is that they are soft, and they are QUIET! There are so many toys out there that make noises, and blink, and are probably highly entertaining; but I think there is still something so simple and wonderful about soft toys that don't make a sound.

Of course, we have a fun giveaway today; Pixel, the IT bunny from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She comes to us through SillyKitty.etsy.com. She has multicolor "pixels" on her lavender color fur. She's been lovingly crocheted from a wool acrylic blend, is stuffed with polyfill, has safety eyes, and is full of Love and computer advice to give. Pixel is approximately 9 inches tall.





To win this cute little bunny, please look in Silly Kitty's toy shop and then leave a comment about your favorite critter in her shop. This giveaway is open worldwide. Please leave only ONE comment. Multiple comments from the same person will be deleted. Please make sure that we have a way to get ahold of you (i.e. valid email address). If you win, and we can't get ahold of you, another winner will be chosen.

Be sure to take a look at these other great crocheted toys too!
