One of the very best finds I have made on Facebook has been the uber cool Little Yon Yon. I think Michelle and I must be cut from the same cloth because everything she finds, I just want to buy it! Earlier this year I got her to make a beautiful diary cover for me that I just LOVE and I can’t believe I have only just now gotten around to introducing you to her!
A Mum of three, Michelle started up Little Yon Yon when the prohibitive costs of putting two kids in daycare forced her to give up her beloved job at Pumpkin Patch. Her love for children’s clothing and accessories needed an outlet so after a year and a half of research, she started selling baby gifts through her online store Little Yon Yon.
Where did the name come from? “Little Yon Yon is what I call little babies and since my store stocks baby brands, the name just stuck“.
Michelle has built a lovely relationship with her customers via her facebook page and her great service while she now counts many of her suppliers as friends who she talks to on a daily basis. “Without their commitment to their businesses Little Yon Yon wouldn’t function as well as it does.”
If you love buying stuff for your bubbas and if you don’t mind pretty things for yourselves, you are going to LOVE what you see below (commentary is Michelle’s).
