bouji & nouna Review and Giveaway Ends 10/11/09 Closed



This is a wonderful giveaway open worldwide for this beautiful OOAK throw pillow








 I was given the pleasure of coming across this wonderful Etsy store bouji & nouna. A great shop carrying OOAK handmade items. The style of her work is amazing with some fabulous fabrics.She has many different items from apparel to throw pillows and unique bedding and gifts for the little ones.


I am so thrilled to be reviewing a product for bouji & nouna, She sent me one of her fab crib sheets, this one design called OP ART. made from a 100% super soft cotton Jersey Knit fabric.

So when it arrived I was extremely excited as I am also a sewer and haven't mastered the crib sheet yet.
It looked even better than pictured and came ready to give as a gift or for your own baby.

The material has the greatest pattern I have seen in fabric,and so soft! The sheet fit perfectly on my standard crib mattress like it was meant for his crib. 
The colors in the sheet matched the theme in his room for an extra bonus. I love their crib sheets, They have many more available at bouji & nouna 

Read more about Inbar and bouji & nouna

Tell us about you .What do you create?
* I'm Inbar, The mom of bouji & nouna from Sunny Israel, I create a unique and modern baby designs (bedding, decor, toys and apparel)

How long have you been doing this? How did you get started?
*Well, It's a bit of a tricky question for me... It's almost like asking me when I've began to breath... My mom is a very talented artist... She always sewed, painted... you name it - she knew how to do it... She studied fashion design and was a teacher for craft and art for years... I was born into a house were they were always fabrics, ribbons and buttons everywhere. Me and my sister's favorite game was searching for treasures on her fabric closet.
I've always painted and sewed, I used to sew my own clothing since I was 13...
The "bouji & nouna" adventure I began on 2007, after my son was diagnosed as having SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder). He needed my attention and so I left my job as a costumer service manger on a very big communication company, and a very nice salary in order to be with him .
Since I'm not the kind of person who can stay at home without doing somthing, I've reterned to my old hobby of sewing and painting...
I was 7 month pregnant with nouna when I started looking for some high quality baby products that would also be chic and with contemporary feel.
Of course I haven't found any thing to my taste.. so I've bought some fabrics and along with some beloved fabrics I had at home I created my first bouji & nouna crib set.
I was amazed by the reaction of my environment... and a few weeks after nouna's birth I've already got my first order, at first from friends and family later on I've joined Etsy and started to get orders worldwide.

Do you do this full time? If not, what else do you do for a living?
As I told before, I'm first of all a mom to the real bouji and nona - my adorable kids - and after that to bouji & nouna designs.. So in between my time with them I'm doing it Hoping to be able to do it full time in the near future,

Who are your inspirations or influences?
Wow, that's a tough one... I'm inspired by so many things.. from my kids, from fashion shows, magazines, nature... Everything can inspire me in a moment... that's why I always have a small sketch book - for all of those great ideas...

What is your favorite creation from your shop? Why?
I think I love every item on my shop and for different reasons, they are like my babies so it's hard to chose one.. For now I'm in love with my "Nouna's BOHO jackets" they are so sweet and showing the bouji & nouna's feel very well... I'm also love my bedding collection. I love the colors and patterns, I think that on this collection I've really connected to my pure design senses...
