Small Business Saturday Highlight: A Toy Garden

Last year, I put together a "Favorite Things" gift guide, which was filled with my favorite things.  Gift guides are a lot of work, hence I'm taking a break this year.

But if I were posting about my favorite things, A Toy Garden would definitely be included.  Owned and operated by a work-from-home mom, A Toy Garden features natural, handmade, and Waldorf toys.

I like patronizing small businesses, and in fact, today is Small Business Saturday, an event on the coattails of Black Friday  which encourages people to shop at local and small businesses.  Consider checking out some of your smaller retailers or local stores. You just never know what you'll find.  A Toy Garden has some really cool things, like...
Stockings and hats

I really want some of these Twig Pencils in MY stocking!

How cute is this Holly Berry Felt Garland?

I like this Castle Set, simple, durable, and natural

More holiday cuteness with this Cardinal Wreath
And my favorite, the Child's Bolga Basket. We have one of these that we use all year round, and at Easter.  It's a perfect size for little lunches too, and works great as a nature gathering basket.
So that's A Toy Garden.  So many goodies that you actually feel good about buying! 
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post, either by paid sponsorship or with items for review. I simply want to support the shop's mission, especially during the holidays.

I like A Toy Garden a lot too! I wanted to order something for Christmas but never got around to it (for my MIL to bring on her November visit).

Those all look like such wonderful gifts to give to a child in your life-I know my little cousin would definitely love those pencils to draw with!

Great feature Kathleen :)
