Nurseries by Mimi {Shop Spotlight & Shop Credit Giveaway}

When you have a vision in mind that you can’t seem to shake and you come across a person highly committed to making that vision happen it is pretty exciting. That is exactly how Jeanie runs her shop and she doesn’t offer anything less. When I came across Jeanie’s beautiful crib bumpers and reached out to her with exactly what I had in mind she went straight to work finding exactly what she needed to make this vision possible. Not only was she dedicated to making my dream come true, she was incredibly excited and passionate about doing so. There is no doubt that Jeanie loves what she does and her entire heart is in her work. She completed the order quickly and it was on my door step before I even expected it! It’s been tremendously hard to keep it from you this long. So, let’s not any longer…

Jeanie put together the perfect crib bumpers for Elyse’s room. It’s incredible how much they tie everything together. The fabric ties added the perfect feminine touch to the room and I couldn’t be more in love. I just love how girly her room is and have had so much fun putting it together. The piping is perfect along the bumpers and the colors were perfect, exactly as I had imagined.

Now, you’re not going to want to miss hearing the beautiful heart behind this shop AND be sure to read to the bottom for an awesome giveaway just for you!

Who is Mimi?

Mimi is actually me … Jeanie Allen. I am wife, mother, grandmother, and professor of Developmental Psychology. I currently live in Ozark, Missouri with my husband, Maggie and Mocha (our dogs), Misty (our cat), and 2 granddogs and a grand cat!

I officially became Mimi in August of 2013 with the birth of Henri. I struggled with what I wanted him (and other future grandchildren) to call me. One day I received a card from the mother of my son-in-law addressed to Mimi (I later discovered that Mimi is the seamstress from the opera La Boheme. Very fitting!) and that became my name.

What is Nurseries by Mimi?

Nurseries by Mimi is my “all things nursery and more” Etsy shop. It actually began when my daughter was pregnant and asked me if I would make the baby bedding and accessories. I grew up sewing and I was used to creating clothing, curtains, dust ruffles, pillow covers, and many other household items. However, I had never made a quilt. Being the adventurous crazy person that I am, I said, “Yes.” And I fell in love with designing and creating quilts.

My favorite task involves custom orders. I get so excited when someone tells me they want a certain theme, or a set of colors, or even specific geometrical shapes. I will spend hours (days, if I have to) searching for the perfect fabric just for that person. The entire time I am creating my product, I constantly picture people smiling as they use my creations.

I use only high quality fabrics, because I want your items to last many generations. I believe that Mimi make memories!

I currently offer quilts, security blankets, burp cloths, bedskirts, bumper pads, pillow covers, crib sheets, and bibs. I am always willing to try something new, also. I have recently ventured into requilting (remaking a cherished quilt that needs an upgrade) and tee shirt quilts.
