I have an obsession with Etsy. There was a point last year in which I was buying things constantly, and I had to literally stop myself from even going to the site so that I wouldn’t buy anything else. I don’t buy from Etsy as often anymore, but when I see something that might be cute for my nephew (this goes for anywhere–not just Etsy), I sort of can’t help myself. So, when I found out my cousin opened a new Etsy shop, I was more than a little excited.

Hayden is at the point where he’s constantly drooling. We can see a little white spot on his bottom gum, so I think he’s teething. He likes to chew on everything. He chews on his hands, his toes, his toys, my shoulder when I’m holding him. He even tries to grab necklaces and chew on them, so I’ve stopped wearing necklaces when I know I’ll be around him. I don’t want him hurting his gums or choking! This is where Ashley’s shop comes into play.

Ashley has two beautiful children, Gavyn and Olivia. Olivia is about a month older than Hayden, so they’re going through similar milestones close to the same time. Ashley created these beautiful bead necklaces covered in fabric so that she could still wear accessories that would benefit her daughter as well. Ashley also makes a point to say, “You don’t have to be a momma to sport one of these,” which is true. They look great regardless of whether you have a teething infant or not.

Ashley describes her necklaces as:

All necklaces are made of 100% designer cotton fabric and ¾ inch unfinished natural wooden beads, the perfect amount of resistance to help soothe baby’s gums while cutting teeth. A great remedy for mommas who prefer natural relief methods!

Each 24 inch wide necklace is handmade from a unique pattern that’s sure to catch your baby’s attention. Now baby can pull on this chic necklace instead of your hair, and you’ll never have to worry about it dropping on the floor like traditional teething toys!

The necklace slips right over your head for immediate teething relief or a quick accessory to spruce up an outfit. The secure, sewn and braided enclosure allows baby to pull and chomp all they’d like while the necklace stays put and the cotton absorbs drool.

To clean, handwash and hang dry for best results.

I absolutely love the fabrics Ashley uses for her necklaces. She is also willing to do custom designs–just send her a message with a design pattern you like and she’ll see if she can find it! At only $12, her necklaces are a steal. There are so many teething necklaces out there, but they come at a higher price, usually. Plus, these necklaces are homemade with care by a mother. It’s always great to support homemade!

You can like Sew Intricate on facebook, which is where she posts pictures of the fabrics she has in stock. All images on this post are from the Sew Intricate Etsy shop.

P.S. I’m going on vacation next week, so I can’t promise any blog posts. Here’s a cute photo of Hayden to hold you over until I return. You can find more on my flickr page.
