Twin Cities Child Photographer * Clever Bibs and Jewelry that Matters

A few of you asked about the "strange bib thing with sleeves" that my little Debbie was wearing in the last entry.  The  BARNSLIG RAND bib is, in my opinion, one of IKEA's most clever products.  It comes in especially handy for those extra messy foods, or when you are particularly concerned about your baby's clothes.  It is a must on Sundays, or on occasions when my girl wears her extra-cute clothes.  AND it's only $3.99 for two bibs!  The only thing I wish I could change is the fabric - because though it wicks away most water, it's not waterproof.  But it works really well for the most part.  Definately on my baby-must-have's list.

Since I'm already mentioning a favorite product, I just have to say something about this beautiful idea I ran across at the Minneapolis Baby Expo.





It is rare that I ever splurge money on jewelry (every extra bit usually goes into photography equipment these days), but this First Impressions Pendant is such a cool idea that I don't think I can resist.  Just think - my sweet baby's fingerprint, preserved forever in this lovely piece of jewelry I can keep with me always...it's simply too precious to pass up.  I love that I can add to the necklace as I have my future children, and that they offer a few different ways to display the fingerprint (though they haven't displayed all designs on their website yet).

Pretty, simple and meaningful.  I love it!

  1. I saw something like this years ago, but my babies were much too old by that time! I do love the idea. Did you order a charm?

  2. Not yet - still trying to figure out exactly what I want! But I'm thinking the silver pendant - possibly set with a pearl, if they can manage it. I love pearls and it's my birthstone so I think it would be really pretty. Diamonds would be awesome but I don't think I'm quite ready for that kind of investment!!!

  3. Wow!! Thank you so much for bloggin us!! I am at an Alzheimers convention right now with our booth. We are having an amazinging response, it seems with each convention we attend another door opens.

    To the woman that responded, fingerprints may be captured at any age for any reason. This emotional jewelry is meant to be worn and hold your loved one close to your heart wherever you may be.

    Your booth was darling. Thank you for your help passing the word!

    Have a beautiful day- Jill

  4. Maybe you should edit the post subject Twin Cities Child Photographer * Clever Bibs and Jewelry that Matters » Elizabeth Dahl Photography : Twin Cities Family Photographer to more specific for your content you make. I liked the blog post nevertheless.
