I've been lucky enough to experience Donna's work first hand. I'm so impressed with her attention to detail & promptness. She specializes in elegant monograms, birth announcements, save the dates, photo cards and more (even pet memorials!) I'm so happy to feature her etsy site here.




Gypsy Monkey


Jill isn't a Nor Cal Nestie (as far as I know), but she is a friend, & I'd love to showcase her whimsical children's play clothes here. I've seen the mermaid pants in person, & they are adorable, and really well made. Check out her complete collection!

Hannah wears her natural redhead status proud & creates fun designs tailored to fellow redheads. Check out her different Cafe Press Stores:
