Giveaway- Mud and Twig

If you love Etsy then you'll love Mud & Twig. This uber cute Etsy shop has a mixture of fun products, all handmade. Here is a little message from the owner and creator:

"My name is Amber & I'm *nearly* 31 years old. I've been making things all my short little life. I dabble a bit in whatever I can get my hands on & if I don't know how to do it yet I plan to soon! I remember learning how to operate my great grandmother's sewing machine when I was 6 or 7 years old. The first thing I decided to make was a dust cover for our VCR. Because it was useful :) I found a scrap of rose-covered fabric & made myself a pattern. Ugly as it was, it was still keeping the VCR dust-free when I moved out at 18.

I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I discovered Etsy! After a couple years of buying & developing crushes on Etsy, I finally got up the courage to open my own shop, Mud & Twig, just a few months ago. Most everything I make for my shop was born as a gift for someone close to me. I find inspiration in the individuality of my friends & family and the beauty of nature. My lip butter, however, began as a gift to myself! When we bought our first home & I met our lovely beekeeper neighbor, I was compelled to create my own beeswax lip balm. I had been so unsatisfied with the brands I was trying. I wanted something with minimal, simple ingredients. My love for the benefits of coconut oil on my skin and appreciation for the honey bee launched me into production! It took a few tries, but I now have a formula I love & I'll never go back!"


I ordered a Skull Onesie from Amber and she sent along a stick of her homemade lip butter. Everything she makes screams quality. She is so very talented!

The onesie is really cute. I got this for my newest niece who will be born around Christmas. Amber uses high quality onesies and uses her handmade screen to screen print each individual onesie. Let your baby rock out in this onesie! I am too excited to get the pictures of my little niece in this onesie and I think I'm going to have to go back and pick one up for my baby!!! I love skulls!

The lip butter was lightly flavored (Vanilla Mint) and keeps my lips moist and soft. I recently learned that she makes her lip butter with her neighbor's organically cared-for bees' wax. It does NOT get anymore handmade than that! She also tries to use as few ingredients as possible which matches my philosophy that we need to be careful what we put in and on our bodies. I love how clean and chic and professional the lip butter looks with the pretty labeling and the oval-shaped tube. This is definitely something I could envision at a quaint, shabby chic boutique!

I also think the lip butters would make fabulous girly favors for a bridal party or just a girls night out goodie bag! I love Girly Girl Goodies!!!
