Featured Designer: Friends of Socktopus

Hey guys! Mollie here. I have many home projects currently underway (get excited!) and one of them is my little boys room. In searching for fun & colorful items to make the space perfect, I discovered Friends of Socktopus! The toys that Clarity creates are not just fun to look at and unique, but they're also very durable. They are one-of-a-kind treasures that your littles will love. They make great shower gifts too. Seriously, can you believe the uniqueness of all these fun creations? It's too hard to pick just one! Which is why it's so fabulous that we have a 20% off coupon code just for you!! That's right, 20% off for DLD readers through the end of July with coupon code "DLD2013". If you see a toy you love, make sure to snatch it up quickly as each of these are original pieces of art & one-of-a-kind, as I mentioned before. Here are a few words from the designer herself, on her inspiration & unique products...Q: What inspired you to create?A: I'm inspired by children's books, vintage textiles, and my lovely kiddos Caspian and Lucinda. I'm also inspired anytime I browse Etsy- there's a wealth of creativity and talent.Q: What has been your most exciting moment with your company?A: A few years ago some of my stuffed animals were used as accessories in a Vogue spread. I wasn't credited (sad face) but it was amazing to see things I made along side haute couture dresses.Q: What special little details set your products apart?A: What sets my products apart from others is the amount of love and care that goes into each one. They are heirloom quality toys meant to be passed down, and as such they must be durable and eco-friendly. We need fewer throw-away toys in the world. As a mama, I really appreciate well made, sturdy toys that can used by both my kids and then passed on to another family.
