Jam'n Jellybeans: March 2015

Good morning, friends! I just wanted to highlight some of the newest offerings in the shop for Grateful Dead fans. Most items in the shop are one-of-a-kind items, so scoop them up as soon as you see them. I do have made-to-order items as well but even those quantities are limited.

Now this set has become an instant hit! I have 3 left in stock. It is the perfect baby shower gift. The item is called the Grateful Dead Dancing Bear, Burp Cloth Set of Three, made to order.

Now let me tell you all about why these are so special. They are a set of three burp cloths bundled up and ready for gift giving! Tied with a sweet bow and perfect for baby showers or to add sunshine daydreams to any day!

These cloths have been rewashed and shrunk before sewing. Each cloth is about 12.5" x 17.5".

First I take 3 new, 100% cotton Gerber prefold cloths that have a 3-ply 100% polyester, super absorbent, pad down the middle, and give them a gentle wash in some Rockin' Green (Classic Rock, Unscented) detergent. (Any phosphate detergent will do, but I think this is the best brand (IMHO).....and only the best for my wares ;)

Then, they tumble around in the dryer so that when you wash and dry them, they don't shrink.

I take some (also per-washed) custom designed and printed, cotton fabric to make a chunky stripe down the middle. (Aaand the Dead fabric is custom designed using Eco-friendly printing technology that uses water-based inks! This process has minimal waste! Pretty rad, right?)

One cloth is done in dancing bear and lightning bolts, one is done in green and purple collared dancing bears, and one is done in orange, lavender, and white with a handmade dancing bear applique. Bear colors will vary from order to order.

The stitching on these guys are are in bright orange thread that is not only durable, but done in a beautiful design around the edging. Then I add a Jam'n Jellybeans label to one of them and viola.......the most jammin' burp cloths are born!

I am sure any Dead fan would agree. These are prefect for a baby shower gift or a gift to give just because you know an awesome baby! Be the envy of the babies at the festivals this summer and order yours today!

And lasty but certainly not least we have the Phunky Fare Thee Well GD50, Phish, Grateful Dead Peasant Dress, size 3-6 months, ready to ship OR Made to order in 6-12 Mo, 12-18 mo.

Fare Thee Well, with your little love dressed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead!

Size 3-6 months is ready to ship and other sizes will be made-to-order.

This is a limited edition dress and so so very special! This special Dancing Bear fabric has been retired and is very rare! Phish and Grateful Dead lovin' folks can appreciate this high quality garment, made with loads of love.

The front bodice of the dress is made from a custom designed and printed, cotton fabric, to look like Jon Fishman's Henrietta Dress! Aaand the Donut fabric is custom designed using Eco-friendly printing technology that uses water-based inks! This process has minimal waste! Pretty rad, right? I added a chunky strip of a gorgeous floral print in hues of purples and magenta and then dead center is a strip of another custom-printed cotton fabric featuring the dancing bears! (in a very rare print that is now retired!!!)

Short sleeves are made up of that same floral.

The back of the bodice is the donut fabric with the floral chunky stripe down the back but instead of the stripe of dancing bears, the back has just one happy little dancing bear.

Stitched in purple thread. Proudly labeled with a Jam'n Jellybeans clothing tag.

If you are on your way to Chicago this summer, or will be couch touring these shows with your little one at home, this dress is a must have! Also perfect for a first birthday, festival-wear, or for everyday Phish, and Dead lovin' grooviness.
