This week's Shop Spotlight is extra close to my heart, since it features one of my favorite handmade shops owned by my dear friend Amy -- artist, teacher and Mama to the sweetest little girl. Amy created one of the first pieces that went in our baby girl's nursery and it is something we will cherish forever.
Amy owns Bloom-Prints Studio, where she makes and sells the most beautiful custom hoop art that can be personalized with a name, date, verse or quote. Anything you can imagine or envision, Amy can bring to life. I just love that about her! She created this floral antler hoop for Poppy and every time I walk in the nursery it is one of the first things I see and my heart is just so full.

Based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Amy Kavelaris owns and teaches ALL ages at her eclectic art school, Bloom-Prints Art Studio and serves as a fine art juror for national art competition. Through this studio space, Amy also sells her oil on canvas paintings, portraiture and precious, custom Hoop Art Keepsakes for sweet nurseries and children's rooms. All looms are hand-crafted from vintage fabrics of the highest quality and each silk bloom is hand-selected from local small business that Bloom-Prints collaborates with. Bloom-Prints believes in collaborating continually with small business and uses fabrics and supplies strictly from vendors they have created relationships with.
Amy began her creative process making these sweet keepsakes when decorating for her daughter Mila's nursery in Spring of 2014. She wanted something classic, charming, and full of whimsy. A touch of vintage, combined with a modern-day touch. After her nursery was featured on a Pinterest post by Disney Baby, requests for Bloom-Prints custom Hoop Art began to blossom and it makes Amy's heart swell to think she can be the tiniest part of these sweet baby's lives by creating a custom keepsake for their rooms.
I have been loving all things floral lately -- for myself, our home and of course, for my girls. Floral is seriously a trend that will never fade, or at least not in my book. I love the rustic look of our custom hoop combined with the feminine florals that add the perfect pop of color for our sweet girl's room.
Alongside my hoop I received the most beautiful hand written card from Amy, sharing her heart and how she had prayed over my girls with every stitch. I am so blessed to call her such a dear friend and just adore everything she makes. The quality of her hoops is unmatched; it is unlike anything you could ever find in a store and each hoop has it's own special touch, look and finish.
Amy offers a wide variety of hoop styles in her shop, including so many fun designs for boy nurseries. I adore this arrows one and this vintage car one. For little girls, antlers and flowers are at the top of my list but I also love the be brave hot air balloon hoop and this vintage floral one. Swoon. As a Mama, there is just something so special about seeing your child's name in front of you in a piece of art on display in your home, and Bloom-Prints Studio is the perfect shop to create a one-of-a-kind piece to do just that!
Amy is so generously offering a custom hoop to one Blessed Nest reader! You will be able to choose from two different styles and personalize it with a first and middle name. Our nursery would be incomplete without this beautiful piece of art and I'm so excited that one of my followers will have the opportunity to add one to their babe's special space.
