Disney teams up with Carol's Daughter!

I am excited about the new Disney film "The Princess and the Frog", out this fall. This will be the first time that a Disney princess is African American! The film takes place in the bayous of New Orleans. Princess Tiana is voiced by Anika Noni Rose, who starred in Dreamgirls. To mark this momentous occasion, Disney has teamed up with Carol's Daughter to release a limited edition collection of bath and hair products for all the little African American princesses out there. The collection will include a shampoo, conditioner, detangler and bubble bath, all with images of Princess Tiana on the bottle.

The products will be out later this fall and the film will be released around Thanksgiving. Check out the trailer below.

We took the Pledge

A lot of time, thought, research, and creativity goes into each and every handmade product. When you receive a handmade gift it shows that someone thinks that you are special and knows you will appreciate the gift. When you purchase the item yourself, it shows that you support artisans and you deserve something special.
