They sent me the Birthday Bonanza Collection Tutu Set from their party and birthday tutus in Pink Taffy that included a tutu, party hat and wand for free to review on my blog for the Princess Tea Party Birthday Blog Carnival that I hosted for my daughter, Teela, on my blog in April. Danbury Lane also threw in a flower hair clip that matched. My Teela looked so darling in this for her birthday party in April and everybody kept commenting on how cute she was :) Teela loved the tutu the most! She pranced around and twirled like a little ballerina. I loved the wonderful craftsmanship. This was such a great addition to her party and because of Danbury Lane she became the bell of the ball :)

Oh Nelly Review

Oh Nelly is a great little shop that I came across on Etsy when looking for homemade and handmade items for my daughter Teela's 2nd birthday party in April to review on my blog. My daughter was having a princess tea party theme and so I ran across Oh Nelly's fabric tea sets and thought they looked like fun!

I was thrilled when I received one before my daughter's party and my daughter who saw it wanted to play with it right away...so I gave in and let her :) I received the Jacobean Red and Pink set from Oh Nelly to review on my blog for free for the Princess Tea Party Birthday Blog Carnival that I hosted for my daughter, Teela, on my blog in April. These tea sets are made of fabric and superbly sewn. They are great for pretend play and you never have to clean dishes after a tea party with it. My daughter, Teela, loved pretending to pour the tea into the fabric cups and sip the tea in a ladylike fashion. Along with a fabric teapot she received two fabric tea cups, two fabric saucers, and two fabric heart shaped cookies. This set will be a great heirloom to pass down.

Oh Nelly not only makes these great fabric tea sets, but other handmade things as well. Other things include: baby bibs, baby onesies, games, aprons, etc.
