Spotlight: Lu & Ed

Hi there! Happy Saturday! I’m so excited to share this super cute shop with you guys! It’s called Lu & Ed and it’s full of the cutest, Mon-stors (as they’re called) that you’ve ever seen. I mean seriously, even the logo is adorable! Ack! Cody, the master Mon-stor maker, is a Mama who started her business back in 2009 when she had the idea to design a monster that “ate” toys as a storage solution for her son because they needed more space. Now she makes hundreds of Mon-stors a year and they are so adorable.

The coolest thing is that all Mon-stors are eco friendly and created using fabric scraps that Cody picks up at discount stores, thrift stores or that she creates using donated clothing and fabric. Each Mon-stor is given the cutest name and has a fun personality all its own.

I purchased a pink Mon-stor from the shop to keep me company in my studio (it was just too cute not to have around) and Cody was sweet enough to send me a few more so that I could give Caylin, Jack and Luke one. They kids LOVE them, just like I knew they would. Caylin and Jack are actually sleeping with their Mon-stors now every night and Luke, well Luke likes to squeeze and drool on his a lot. He giggles at it – it’s the cutest thing!

Come on – how can you NOT smile when you see these? These cute Mon-stors are definitely a hit with the kids! I know we’ll be adding more to our family soon! How cute would these be stuffed in the kids’ stockings? What a cute gift for a baby shower or birthday, too! Oh, and I need to mention that these guys are SO durable, too! Jack is super rough with his toys and stuffed animals and so I’m glad that his little guy will be able to withstand how hard he plays with him. LOVE that!

I also just love how one-of-a-kind these stuffed Mon-stors are. You just don’t get this kind of personality, uniqueness and love handmade into toys nowadays, ya know?

Lu & Ed is going to have a handful of new Mon-stors in the shop on Monday, December 1st and they are all going to be 30% off! Yep, you read that right! Lu & Ed is participating in a flash sale that day along with 50 other handmade shops and they are going to be offering 30% off. So, be sure to head to the website, bookmark it and check it out and try to snag yourself up a Mon-stor or two! You can sign up HERE to be one of the first to know when the mon-stors are up in the shop! Your kids will love them and you’ll be supporting a super sweet, creative Mama and help her save the world – one monster at a time. How could you NOT want to be a part of that? ;)

Happy Mon-stor shopping!!! XOXO!
