Apple Tree Branch & More to Come
Dear Friends -
This past winter we were fortunate enough to have a crew come out and do some defensible space on our land for fire prevention. This gave us a lifetime supply of perfect branches to make our boxes!
I apologize for being absent for so long. We've been posting on Instagram a lot this year, but neglecting some of our other cyber-spaces. I'll be working on this more; I promise. Thank you for taking the time to visit and we send you off with these words...
Take care, be good & kind and do your darnedest to laugh,
Ellie, Earnie & Myrtle Jo

A Hardy Welcome To Fern & Sycamore in Washington, Missouri!
Dear Friends of Earnest Efforts -
 |
| Fern & Sycamore |
It's hard to believe that we are here again, so soon, to
announce that we have another location where you can find our teething
rattles. Fern & Sycamore is an indie shop located just blocks from
the Missouri River in historic Washington, Missouri. Washington looks
like a beautiful community in the heart of wine country and only 50 minutes
from St. Louis. The next time we drive back to S. Indiana to visit
family, we will stop in say hello and enjoy the American made wares found in
this special shop. You can visit their Facebook page to see what they are
currently selling at Fern & Sycamore
Thanks so much for visiting here and we just want to say...
Take care, be good & kind and do your darnedest to laugh,
Ellie Efforts
Aloha to KIKO, LLC. on Kaua'i
Dear Friends of Earnest Efforts -
When I saw this photo of the inside of KIKO I thought, now we have yet another good reason to go back to Hawai'i! What a peaceful and lovely looking shop - both inside and out...
KIKO will be carrying both our teething rattles and some of our spirit shakers. They are located on the west shore of Kaua'i just north of the airport in Kapaa. Their Facebook page has great photos of the unique items you can find in their shop. Next time you find yourself on the glorious island of Kaua'i, please stop in and share the aloha.
Mahalo & take care, be good & kind and do your darnedest to laugh,
Ellie Efforts
Moon Voyage in Wicker Park, Chicago
Dear Friends of Earnest Efforts -
It's so exciting when an indie shop owner contacts us. When Susie Lee, one of the co-owners of Moon Voyage contacted us, we were thrilled to know that we would be one of their first products in a new line of baby gifts for their uber-chic boutique in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. How fun that our modest teething rattles would travel from our hands, part way across the country, to be found in the bright lights of the big city.
You can visit Moon Voyage in Chicago at
Kitty-corner to Big Star
Mon-Sat 11-7
Sun 12-6
Mon-Sat 11-7

or Facebook
Please tell them that you read about their boutique on Earnest Efforts blog :-)
Take care, be good & kind, and do your darnedest to LAUGH,
Ellie Efforts
