Over the past few weeks I have been working on designing a very special hangtag that will be attached to each and every lovie we distribute to our local NICUs here in Los Angles, and thanks to you, around the country!
⠀
I had a very specific design in mind and special details I wanted to include. I was so grateful when my friend, Amber Moon @pitbullsposies not only offered to help me bring these hangtags to life, but generously gifted them as well!
⠀
The baby blue hangtag is in the shape of a heart – it was much easier to source a square or circle hangtag, but we felt it HAD to be a heart! The front of the hangtag has our beautiful Angels 4 Austin logo, and on the back, a very sentimental Winnie the Pooh quote, inspired by a Mother’s Day Gift I received from my dear friend, Jessica. Austin was often called “Piglet” by the NICU nurses because he loved my breast milk! And finally, “The Strauss Family” was hand calligraphed by the talented @annerobincallig
⠀
These tags are a true Labor of LOVE! I will be very busy in the upcoming weeks tagging and distributing over 4000 lovies! If you nominated a NICU that needs Lovies, they will be coming your way shortly. You can also continue to purchase lovies on efcollection.com, where all proceeds will be earmarked in honor of Austin Davis Strauss to further research for Pediatric Polycystic Kidney Disease within the UCLA Children’s discovery and Innovation Institute.
⠀
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued love and support.
