thanks so much to our brilliant judge for this event, the inspiring Robert Mahar of the beautiful vintage + handmade emporium for children: Mahar Dry Goods!

what our judge had to say about the nominations: "Oh nominating public, what a task you’ve given me! More than 150 lovely handmade children's items were submitted and it’s taken quite some doing to whittle it down to a mere 10. The criteria I considered in selecting the finalists included originality, workmanship, creative use of materials and overall aesthetic appeal. Thank you for the opportunity to review the wealth and breadth of your talents and my best wishes to the final ten!"
