Lou Lou and Company at Bijou Market

Bijou Market only comes around 2x a year and I swear it should be considered it's own holiday because it is so much fun. I have loved crafting and creating for this year's upcoming spring event the very most!! I feel like I have finally found something that I love to make and that I love to see on Rosie as well as other sweet baby girls. Bijou is this Friday and Saturday and you do not want to miss out!

Look for the Lou Lou & Company booth because we will have our prices discounted 10%-30% off of everything we make.

There is a link to our shop on the side bar of my blog if you are interested in checking out the different products we make.

Baby Bracelets

So I have teamed up with my sister to sell again at this spring's Bijou Market in April and this time I will be making baby bracelets. I love putting them on Rosie to give her a little bling on a daily basis. I am excited to be able to offer these handmade bracelets to other moms now too because there is nothing much sweeter than a little babe adorned with some jewels.

Here are a couple shots of Rosie wearing her bracelets all dressed up in her Sunday best.
The quality of the bracelets endures through lots of wear and even bath time. They are made with 14K gold plated or sterling silver plated beads and clasps. There is a link to our shop over on the sidebar of my blog (Lou Lou & Co) with some of my bracelets and my sister's gorgeous swaddle blankets for sale.

Right now we are having a giveaway on our Instagram account. If you want to enter or hear about future products and giveaways go follow along. You can find us at @loulouandcoshop.

..Bijou Recap..

We had such a fun time being a part of the Bijou Market last weekend. Preparing for the market was exhausting, invigorating, exciting, fun, tiring, but in the end it was all worth it. There was so much amazing talent packed into one room. We loved meeting a lot of the local vendors and getting to see their booths.  We brought home new treasures from a lot of the vendor. Here are the pictures we took of our booth during the market.  We were so thrilled to be admitted into such a prestigious market and we had such a great experience and hope to be a part of it again in the future. 

Did you get a chance to go to the market?

 What did you think? 

Share with us the treasures you got there.
