So today in the mail…the lovely lovely mail, I received two pairs of the 
most awesome, coolest looking shoes I have seen in a long time. And no they weren’t for me (I almost wish they were). These shoes were from Satch and Sol, a company that pairs up with artisans all over the world, using fair trade policies, to bring you the consumer some great looking and well made products. Knowing that the products I use are made by people who are treated and compensated fairly is a HUGE bonus for me, I don’t want to support unhealthy and unfair working practices. Back on topic.
Ellie received a pair of Satch and Sol boots, and are they gorgeous. I can honestly say they are unlike any pair of boots I have seen, and coming from me, well that is a lot of boots. They are hand-stitched too so no pair of boots is exactly alike…Ellie is too cool for school wearing an original pair of boots. I love these boots and so does Ellie. She saw them when she woke up from her nap and said “those for me” and of course I put them on…too cute. She clomped downstairs and proceeded to watch SuperWhy with them on; and then she ran around the house yelling “I have supapowahs”. When I told her that we needed to take them off she proceeded to take them of nicely and hug them, refusing to let them go. Alright, I think she likes them.
Eve got a pair of the Satch and Sol flower cut slippers and they are adorable. At first when I read that they were made out of felted wool I immediately though “huh?” because the word felt brings to mind flimsy. But, these slippers are anything but flimsy. They are well made, sturdy and oh so very cute. Right now Eve just sits and looks at them, then goes in for the chew…but they are going to be awesome when she realizes that her feet are more than just a chew toy. Love them.
So I have to admit to being curious as to the name of the company, so being the nosy person I am I asked…”ummm what exactly does Satch and Sol stand for???” Susan graciously decided to reply to my query rather than tell me to mind my own business:
“I have two boys - Solomon and Satchel. Their nicknames are Satch and Sol. Sol (Spanish for sun) is pronounced like 'soul'. At its core, Satch & Sol is a business that is focused on the family - items for families, in support of entrepreneurial families. So, it just seemed right to put my own family in the name.”
Well now I get it. Satch and Sol offers more than just slippers and boots; I love the hats and mittens that are offered, and the hand knitted sweaters look wonderfully cozy.
Now one of you will have the chance to see how great the Satch and Sol slippers really are! Enter to win a pair of child size slippers from Satch and Sol with free shipping in the US and Canada. TO ENTER: go to Satch and Sol and look around, then come back here and tell me what you like the best. ENDS FEB. 13th @ 8.00PM

I love the itty bitty boots - just for fun.
I love handmade items and I'm so glad the CSPIA is backing down a bit for a year. Satch and Sol has adorable products and I'm so wishy-washy I'm having a hard time picking out my favorite. They don't seem to have alot of sizes in stock or a big selection of the mittens and gloves that are so cute or the pompom hair bows. My favorite slippers would probably be the bouqet mary janes for my baby daughter or the blue buds for my baby son, but then I would have to buy a pair of the tie wooley grey for my 5 year old. I guess if I win I'll buy the other 2.
