Featured Artist: Ellebelleonetsy

1. Tell me a bit about yourself (name, location, affiliations, personal stuff).

I'm Stacey, I own Elle Belle, and craft with 3 other friends and my Mom. You can check out the basics about how the shop got started in my Etsy profile, and a little something about each of us on my website http://ellebelleonline.com the artist profile page.

2. What is the best thing about your products?

The best thing about our products is that they make being a Mommy easier and more fun. There are so many wonderfully unique products on the market for the modern parent. We've searched through tons of them and feel that we've found some of the best, most useful, and unique ones. Together, we've been able to make them even better with our own handmade style and approach.

3. Why should people buy your product?

Our customers can feel confident in the fact that each of their items are made with lots of care and their little one in mind. We're all Mommies, we know what quality baby items are, and we want to pass that on to other Moms.

4. Why should people buy handmade?

One of my favorite things about buying handmade is that there's a life behind the item. I relish the idea that perhaps the artist I've purchased from feels like I do when someone values something I've created enough to make it their own... proud, thankful, and supported.

5. What is your favourite thing in your shop and why?

It's hard to pick a favorite item. We have such a large variety of products that are each special for their own reasons, I can't possibly narrow it down to just one thing. I think the slings are the most useful and practical items in the shop, the pillowcase dresses are the prettiest, the chalkboard placemats are the most fun, the ballet slippers are the most unique/special, and the memory quilts are the most valuable.
