Random Giveaway: Huge Prize Package from Quiet Hours Toys



Fantastic Giveaway today. A really good one. And it will be of service in at least two ways: 1) it will introduce you to an excellent online shop you may not be familiar with, and 2) it will help you with your Christmas shopping. Get your comments in now to win this generous handmade toy collection from Quiet Hour Toys worth $178! This is what's in the prize package:


- 1 tiny 9” wooden play stove from Maileg, which includes pots, pans & a baguette. It’s adorable. And have you ever seen children play with tiny toys? It's so delightful, they tend to use tiny voices when dealing with tiny toys — sort of like talking baby talk to the "tiny baby" toys.
- 1 set knit cupcakes from Yellow Label Kids. These are pretty enough I would be tempted to keep them for myself — maybe display them in my office.



-2 sets of child-size enamel dishware. Oh how I love enamel dishware. I have a whole adult-size set that we use almost constantly for everyday eating. Very child friendly. And if you like the basic set, Quiet Hours Toys has lots of additional pieces to choose from.
- 1 crocheted market bag from the Rurapuk Cooperative of Mothers in Peru containing an assortment of wooden fruits & veggies from HABA (like the pears in the picture below). Beautiful.


-1 picnic set with Lilly Bean felt play food which includes a pita sandwich, bag of chips, and slice of chocolate cake. Doesn't every child need their own felt pita sandwich? So great!

Talk about a generous Giveaway. Win this and your child's play pantry is going to be well-stocked and ready for the new year. Ready for hours and hours of quiet
(cross your fingers), creative play. And if these lovely handmade toys appeal to you, definitely check out the rest of the Quiet Hours Toys collection.


Don't miss the wide selection of handcarved Nativity figures, like this Mary and Joseph. Very child-friendly. These would be fun to collect — a couple of pieces each year.


Or the sweet prints from Papered Together.

I am so impressed with Quiet Hours. It's mother-owned and operated, and they work with small companies, fair trade cooperatives and independent artists and crafters who design custom-made, limited-edition pieces. They aim to offer a selection of original, well-made toys that have some lasting value. I like what it says on their about page: We believe old-fashioned craftsmanship and good design make for the kinds of things you’ll want to hold on to, and that is what we seek out.

Thank you Quiet Hours Toys!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!

My son is already getting a kitchen for Christmas, so if I won this, I would be giving the kitchen to another child, but I would keep the other goodies for my little chef.

Those cupcakes are amazing!
