Can you tell we love owls?

We are truly excited about the new products we just added to kittenandnana.com!  We are now carrying these adorable crocheted owl hats:

We also enjoyed taking photos of the kids wearing them, the tough (and fun!) part was getting all 3 of them to sit still and pose for the camera...

"Where's everyone?"

Wander girl in the background...

"Who turned off the lights!?"

I fired over 70 shots of these 3 girls and I only got one doable advert shot...

But believe it or not, when I was going through the photos, my favorite ones were actually the first three above.  It was so fun looking at them and they surely brought a smile to my face.

So, if any of you are owl-addicts like we are, go ahead and check these cute hats out at our store!  It comes in 4 different designs for both girls and boys, and also comes in 3 sizes.

Of course, we are not leaving the grown-ups behind.  We also added something for you to enjoy...

This owl necklace is really cute and is perfect for the coming fall/winter.  It comes with a 32-inch chain so you can easily wear it over thick sweaters!  I always get compliments when I wear this necklace so we made it available here at Kitten and Nana.

Enjoy!

Funny Shirts and Onesies Galore!

We've partnered up with MYlilTOEs!

Our good friend, Alyssa and her husband, decided to make some unique custom onesies when their gorgeous son was born in April of 2010. Their son's onesies created a surge of interests from their family, relatives, and friends like us. This prompted them to venture in the children's clothing market. They branded their shirts and onesies with the name My Lil Toes and their cute logo is extra apecial because the feet and toes in it are actually their son's foot prints when he was a newborn!

My Lil Toes uses quality materials for all little munchkins to wear. The short sleeved onesies & Tees are made of 6.4 oz 100% cotton interlock knit or 35% cotton/65% polyester interlock knit material. Unlike silk-screening, the prints on all My Lil Toesshirts and onesies are non-ink/paint that may cause skin irritation. My Lil Toes uses a rubberized material that is known as heat transfer material, which will not fade, crack, nor peel. This is very flexible and the colors are very vibrant. The prints do not have direct contact to the skin, therefore there is no skin irritation.

All items are customizeable. Choose the size, style, fabric color and/or print color! Have Fun!

Introducing the Rose Bouquet Felt Headbands

Rose Bouquet Felt Headbands in Heather Gray, Hot Pink and Yellow

My sister, Nana, fell in love with a couple of my daughter's headbands that we got when we were on vacation a few of months ago.  After months of trying to get our hands on the felt headbands with no luck, my sister decided to use those headbands as inspiration and created the Rose Bouquet Felt headbands.  They are now available at www.kittenandnana.com!  The colors above are my favorite though if you want to add a little spunk, this one could be perfect for you:

Zebra and Fuchsia Combination

This collection comes in 9 different colors, all solid with the exception of the Zebra and Fuchsia combination above.  She PASSIONATELY handcrafted each and every headband with love... I must share though that she even got burnt by the glue gun at one point while making these.  My poor sis!

Show her some love and check out these headbands at our store!

Going Bananas!

With one week left before the 2011 Walnut Creek Family Fest, we have been very busy with preparations for the event and making new products to add to our collection of hair accessories.  Add to that chasing after our three girls, being carpool drivers, homework, attending playdates, etc. and we are indeed going bananas!  In as much as we have been so busy, we really can't complain.  The joy and excitement we feel over the overwhelming response we have gotten so far for Kitten and Nana more than makes up for it.

We just added these cute little monkeys to our store.  The Trisha & Francis Hair Elastics are sold in pairs.  Like the Corduroy Owl Clips, they are handmade with love from felt and are  perfectly imperfect.  I must say, we really are getting very good at mastering our clip-making skills.

Trisha and Francis

You know how some of our products are inspired by or named after actual people, places, events, etc. in our lives?  Well, as I was making these hair elastics, they were the first ones to pop into my head.  Meet my good friends, Trisha & Francis...

Theirs is a story of true love and friendship.  They have been together for so long, yet everything about them is so new.  I have such admiration not only for their devotion and commitment to each other, but also for proving that the honeymoon never ends.

Oh, and did I mention that they happen to LOVE monkeys??? :-)

love,

Nana

Who doesn't love leg warmers on your little ones?

We have just added a collection of Leg Warmers at Kitten and Nana today.  We are truly excited about this because our kids are a leg-warmer-wearing bunch!  Leg warmers help them keep warm during cold weather but when it is not too cold, we find that:

♥ it helps protect new walkers' knees from scrapes when they fall down
♥ it gives crawlers a little bit of padding when they move around
♥ if worn with a onesie, it makes quick diaper changes even quicker
♥ it makes potty training easy
♥ it completes an outfit, wear them with onesies, shorts, skirts, dresses, pants... the possibilities are endless!

It's definitely a STYLISH, FUN and FUNCTIONAL accessory for any child!

Are you one of us?

Corduroy Owl Clips-- Perfectly Imperfect!

We just added some cute corduroy owl clips to our store today. These perfectly imperfect clips are made by me and my sister, Nana.

I say that they are "imperfect" because they are personally made by us... though we like to think that we are clip-making-professionals, the truth is we are not... but our goal is to be one, and I think we will get there quite soon!

making them with love...

Now, I say "perfect" because each clip is made with love.  If you factor in the love, joy and excitement generated while making these clips, then you have a clip made to perfection!  The unevenness of the outlines, cut by our bare hands using our cheap crafts scissors, add character to these clips... yeah!

You know what else makes these clips extra special?  We named them after some of our childhood family pets that we loved so dear... Whiskey, Muffin, Ziggy and Kiwi... Aaah Kwi, he was our dad's favorite!

Yochi Yochi Eco-Friendly Squeaky Shoes Now Available!

We have exciting news, Yochi Yochi Eco-Friendly Squeaky Shoes Line is now available at www.kittenandnana.com! We have partnered with this company so we can bring these adorable shoes to you.

Yochi Yochi Prince Kairu Eco-Friendly Squeaky Shoes 

Yochi Yochi Princess Sakura Eco-Friendly Squeaky Shoes

Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. The noise is fun, but we think it goes beyond that.

With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.

In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.

Yochi Yochi  strives to create durable products at great prices because we know how fast your children grow up!

Yochi Yochi - For a Smaller Footprint

We're proud to say we've applied environmentally friendly practices in the manufacturing of Yochi Yochi shoes. Doing our part to protect the habitats of our animal neighbors. You can feel comfortable knowing that with your purchase of these small shoes you can make a smaller footprint on our natural habitats. Yochi Yochi manufacturing uses-


-Water-based dyes for printing. As a result, any effluents from the factory are not harmful to the environment


-Use of energy-efficient equipment such as our fans, air conditioners, and stitching machines which saves 25% on energy consumption compared to the less expensive standard options


-Storage of rain water for daily factory use
