<p>Oh my goodness!  These are the cutest little shoes I&#8217;ve ever seen!</p>
<p>This is a darling pair of &#8220;Olivia&#8221; Mary Jane Crochet Baby shoes from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CurlyBirdie" target="_blank">Curly Birdie</a>. They are hand crochet in a cotton blend yarn with one pretty flower attached to make them simply beautiful!<br />

<p>Maria is so talented!  Don&#8217;t you think these shoes would make a stunning baby shower gift?  They can be made in different sizes and colors.</p>

<p>Since we are talking about organizing our supplies all month, I asked Maria how she managed to keep all her yarn organized.</p>
<p>She loves to use clear storage boxes to organize her yarn. They work great for her because she can see exactly what&#8217;s in them.</p>
<p>You might enjoy reading her blog&#8230;<a href="http://www.curlybirdie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Curly Birdie</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Maria has been sweet enough to offer one Everything Etsy reader a pair of shoes of their choice from</strong> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CurlyBirdie" target="_blank"><strong>Curly Birdie</strong></a><strong>.  That&#8217;s sure to be a hard decision!</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you can enter to win&#8230;</p>
<ul>
