This book is a cute simple read with some humour too. Your kiddo will also love it!
I ordered this in a light grey crewneck for myself and my boyfriend. They are so comfy, the design is beautiful - I get compliments every time I wear it!
I love this gorgeous design so much that I couldn’t decide which garment to order so I ordered both the t-shirt and the sweatshirt. The design is stunning on the green t-shirt and even more beautiful on the grey sweatshirt. The quality of material for both is super for the price 👏👏👏 I will definitely spread the word and give thumbs up 👍
The sweater is sooo soft and the colours look amazing together.
I should have used the sizing chart better as I arms are very big but oversized is in right!!??
I love these tea towels! They are easily the best I've ever had. They ACTUALLY DRY THINGS!!! And they're gorgeous, so that's even better. I really appreciate the foldover design so I can hang them on my stove and see the full design. They're perfect. I gave them as gifts to lots of family and all of them say the same - love them!

Soft & comfortable
Nice warm cozy sweater. Love the design!
great book for the little person in your life!
Such a great book about accepting emotions and coping when things don’t go our way. My toddler and I giggled together about the sweet rhyming story and the simple illustrations. When he is tired and upset, he now says “I’m a sad potato” and he takes some deep breaths. Rachael, you are a woman of many talents. Thank you for sharing your art and important message.
I received one as a gift at Christmas and decided to get one for a birthday gift since I loved mine so much. Next purchase I would like to make is one of your t-shirts, I only hesitate because I'm never sure of sizing.
A potato....who knew it could be something so versatile and relatable!
Kids loved it.
I loved it.
Instant classic!
Seriously so cute. Has become a staple in my daycare library. The kids absolutely adore it!
