In the beginning, there was a blog

Welcome to Hannah's Toybox!

We're just getting started so don't be alarmed about the lack of posts here or the small-ish selection over here. There will be more, and soon! In the meantime, we are excited to have set up shop on Etsy. Like, ridiculously excited. Jumping-out-of-our-skins-with-excitement excited. Not even kidding.

We plan for this blog to be little "fireside chats" about new ideas we're kicking around and how our projects are coming along. You'll get to see our new projects first and from time to time we'll offer special savings on those new projects before we put them up for sale on the Etsy site. We'll also offer coupon codes and special freebies for our loyal readers, and maybe even a giveaway or two or six. Because really, who doesn't love a giveaway?

So, you're probably wondering who "we" are. We are Pam and Erin, mother and daughter, in that order. Pam has been sewing since she was a little girl, and Erin followed in her footsteps - so much so that she currently sews on the Elna that Pam was given as a high school graduation gift! Pam currently runs a preschool and just loves her kiddos there. Erin is married to The ED and Hannah (otherwise known as The Kiddo, or TK for short), our shop's namesake, was born just four months ago. We love love love to sew, love to create, love to make things from "nothing." Pam refers to fabric stores as her personal art gallery, and The ED teases Erin about "indoctrinating" TK early since she gets hauled around to fabric and craft stores with Mama all the time.

In the works at the shop: very very soon we'll be offering costumes! Just in time for Halloween, we know, but we'll be offering them all year long. Costumes are great for kids to role-play and learn in... they're not just for dress-up anymore. If you've already checked out the shop, you've probably seen our fun aprons and potholders. We'll be adding matching dishtowels soon, as well as coordinating table linens. We'll also do the reverse for the holiday table linens - put up the coordinating kitchen linens. In the meantime, if you see something you like but you want it just a little bit different (say, a different fabric), drop us a line at hannahstoybox (at) gmail (dot) com. We can certainly accomodate custom requests, and we love making one-of-a-kind items that will be sure to please you.

Keep checking back with us, and thanks for your support!
