Toby's present.....


I love buying things off of Etsy.com for gifts if I don't have the time to make something myself. I sent this to my nephew Toby first birthday. Maya from Maidenlove made this lovely elephant. I was so impressed, because when I told her it was a present, she took this picture and sent it to me. It was so nice to see how it looked and made it really personal as a gift. She makes these elephants and blankets from fabrics she has collected over the years. She will even make things out of your own fabric if you send it to her. She is in my Etsy favorites for sure!

Hi, Dawn, Love the elephant, I just have a couple of questions, do the etsy sellers also sell to the UK and are there actually any Uk sellers on there. Thanks Amanda.

Knitting Mummy....the answer to both is YES! If you use the geolocator you can find people who are from the UK. But I've been able to buy lots of things to have sent here. You have to pay a bit more for postage, but true fully the exchange rate is really good....so it kind of works out.

That is soooo cute. So cute in fact, that I just bought two elephants as gifts for babies in my life. Thanks for the great link!!
