Jibberish Body Products

I have been using and interested in applying all natural products to myself and my family's bodies for years now. 60% of anything applied to our bodies is absorbed into our system and it made me think that I need to take better care of my largest organ, the skin.

And so, inspired by the "jibberish" coming out of my toddler's mouth and my belief that we should be as chemical free and simple as possible with the products we apply to our bodies, I gave birth to the idea of Jibberish Body Products.

All natural body products; no hokey ingredients. The contents of each individually, hand-made, small batch body product is so simple that even a toddler can say them...and, as a matter of fact a 2 year old named each product!

Each product is hand crafted in small batches to ensure the freshest and highest quality item possible. Assured quality control in each product promising you won't be disappointed!  Not tested on animals, only on family.

Founder and Mom,

Spunk & Love

Special Places for your Sweet Memories

I’ve always loved creating handmade items, and often dreamed about owning my own business. I now get to do both with my handmade baby book business – Spunk & Love.

These books came out of a desire to provide an easier way to keep up with your kids memories because, let's face it, after the first year of your child's life it becomes much more difficult to find the time to write down all those moments, favorites and milestones. However, those memories are still precious, and we all want a special place to keep them for years to come.

I have created small, manageable, guilt-free baby books to help you continue to record just the right amount of sweet memories after your child's first year. The books are available for each year (1^st Birthday, 2^nd Birthday, etc) as well as a Newborn version for your baby’s first year. Each baby book measures 7.25" by 7.25", making it the perfect size to keep nearby. No need to lug the giant, linen-bound baby book down from the bookshelf. Keep your book next to your bed, on a child's dresser or wherever you'll be inspired to pick it up and fill it out throughout the year.

Little Partridge

*Inspired, handmade gifts for baby and family

Little Partridge was born out of a love for all things handmade.  Over the years I have been making gifts for friends and family whenever possible, happy to know that the time invested in them was so worthwhile.  It wasn’t until last year when I hosted a baby shower that I had the idea of turning my hobby into a business.  The appliqué onesies that I helped everyone create for the mother-to-be were so well received, the next day I created the Little Partridge workshop.

My goal is to make boutique-style products that are whimsical and affordable.  Since I love celebrating the holidays, many Little Partridge items are seasonal and perfect for a special occasion.  The Valentine’s Day collection showcases some of my favorite creations, like fabric flower embellishments and colorful tulle tutus.  All of my hand-embroidered onesies and toddler t’s can be personalized with your little one’s monogram. 

I have had a wonderful experience working with Two Patooties over the last six months.  In addition to their online boutique, you can find my products on my website and Facebook page.  “Little Partridge” is the meaning of my maiden name (Pernice) in Italian, and very dear to my heart.  I’d be honored to have all of you as part of the Little Partridge family.

Modknots is our newest vendor! 

Fall has always been my favorite time of year, time to bring out the sweaters and drink pumpkin spice latte's. The season got even better about 12 years ago when my Mom taught me how to crochet, I was hooked right from the start.  I started with making granny square after granny square until I had enough to make my first blanket.   From then on, I have made afghans, baby blankets and scarves for all my friends and family.   When the weather starts to change I looked forward to curling up on the couch with my bin of yarn and relax making cozy creations.   This past year Sienna was born, so when that "time" of year came around I knew I would only have a limited amount of time on my hands to be creative.  I wanted to make something can could be worn or used by her.  So I sat down and started my first hat.   Once it was done I decided it needed a little more umpf, so I added the flower and button. The original Modknot hat.  Now I have expanded on the original design and I have so much fun creating fund cozy modern hats for kids and adults.  

I hope you stay warm this winter!

little piggys

Welcome to little piggys…a uniquely funky clothing line for the special little ones in your life.

My love for designing and creating started when my Mom gave me the sewing machine I grew up watching her sew away on. It was a surprise to me that a passion immediately ignited for imagining and creating things and it was a delight to my Mom! My hand-designed onesies started out as a special gift to newborn babies of friends & family. With an incredibly positive response of interest and high demand, I wanted to make them available to everyone and joined Two Patooties. Thus, little piggys was born! I take pride in each and every piece I create; all designed with the comfort of your little one in mind. All little piggys items are made from soft, 100% cotton with machine washable embellishments.

Visit my facebook page little piggys.  I hope you enjoy my pieces as much as I enjoy creating them for you!

Marmalade creations 

Marmalade Creationsis owned by Nicole Keim, an elementary school music teacher in Broomfield, CO (and artist at heart!). The business was born from a single thought; while shopping in San Francisco Nicole ran across some cute felt hair clips and thought to herself, “Hey, I can do that.”   Since that initial project two years ago (Nicole still laughs at the ridiculously sloppy design and stitching of her first clip), the business has blossomed into a wide array of unique and funky hair accessories including wool felt hair clips, bobby pins, ponytail holders, mini clips, alphabet clips, and headbands. 
 
Other products of marmalade creations are button-eyed monster dolls called twombly dolls.  These monsters begin as a figment of Nicole’s imagination and gradually come to life as she puts them together. She uses a variety of textiles including felt, fleece, flannel, and upcycled clothing and scarves to create their bodies.  Each twombly doll has its own unique flair and is accessorized accordingly with a tutu, vest, bowtie, cape, fur trim, or whatever it needs to complete its character.  Twombly dolls come in small, medium and large sizes and are the perfect companion for children and adults alike.
 
Painting is also a passion of Nicole’s and she has found a way to create functional art in the form of hand-painted name signs. Her custom signs make wonderful gifts for baby showers/welcoming baby, birthdays, holidays or just because!   Each sign is made to order and is customized with the recipients name, theme and color of their choosing, and additional embellishments.
 
Nicole takes pride in making all of the products she sells and gives the utmost attention to color, detail and craftsmanship.  She continues to come up with innovative ideas for crafts and avidly supports the growing handmade movement. Please take a second to look at all of her wonderful products sold at Two Patooties!

baby bean

all things bean was born out of a love for designing kids clothing & the birth of our own little bean. After 10 years designing for GapKids, The Children's Place & Tommy Hilfiger, it was time to take what we learned & do it ourselves! First came the baby bean collection & from there the little bean toddler tees. We are working on green bean, an organic/sustainable line.

baby bean is a hand-made collection of high quality infant bodysuits, caps, bibs & burp cloths in fun fabrics with hand stitched details.

little bean is a hand-made collection of toddler tees based on the fabrics from baby bean.

green bean is our latest idea. It is also hand-made & based on some of the items from baby & little bean using eco-friendly fabrics & re-purposed & vintage appliques. Please contact us if you are interested in the line.

All of our products are hand-made in the U.S.A
