Until my new leaf necklace creator gets back from her European vacation this Spring, I’m exploring options for my next Ms. Single Mama piece of merchandise. And, as usual, I am dying for your input. So here are the options on the table now. Vote for your favorite after browsing.
1. A sassy single mama apron, like so…
But ours would probably be covered in leaves with a dash of sexy and cute pinks and reds. Thanks to the Sassy Apron shop on Etsy for this picture and to Made By Amy D in Columbus for working with me on this.
2. A New Leaf Ring, like so…
This may not be the exact ring, although I do like this style. But just keep in mind – there are SO many leaf rings out there. Ours would hopefully be custom designed and created by an Etsy.com seller.
3. A cool tote bag, like so…
Like this tote bg, for Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, ours will also have a custom symbol – maybe a few words, but something that is simple and sweet.
4. Or, a super cute t-shirt.
You all know what super cute t-shirts look like. Like the tote, it would also have a custom symbol, designed just for us!
Now vote for your favorite.

I was torn between the ring and the tote, but chose the tote since one size fits all! The apron—who wears aprons? I think your market would be very narrow on that one. Great choices and great way to get feedback!
Busy moms can always use a tote!
I would definitely be the most likely to wear/buy a ring. I think that the apron is really cute, but I don’t currently own an apron and have never thought about buying one.
I love the apron, I want an old style apron like that so bad.
I LOVE the apron. I have been looking for a cute, vintage looking one for a while. I really love this one because of the look and the meaning. When I have dinner parties I’d love to have this covering my outfit until I got done cooking- I’m always spilling something while cooking. I also love the ring! I’ve got a bunch of totes. 1 from every store/salon etc I go to.
I LOVE Amy D. She just gave me an apron to promote and it is so well made.
However, a bag or tote might be more appealing to more people. Do you know about the local shop Skreened? They do the printing and shipping for you and would probably work in a customized card if you wanted to include one.
I love the ring, but I like the tote too. You can always use a good tote bag!
i am a total sucker for aprons, but i’ve already got a kitchen full of them. i’d use a tote everyday. i’m not a big ring wearer, but i like the idea. i’m excited to see what you come up with!
I love the apron. I have always wanted a nice apron that I can wear every Sunday morning while cooking breakfast. Something that my kids will always remember me wearing during those special times together.
I love the apron…I never had one, even though I’m always cooking.
I’m all for the ring! I love the apron, but I’d have no real good use for it since I don’t cook or do dishes very often.
I guess I could wear it outside or something?
Nah! I’ll stick to the ring lol …
I love the symbolism of the ring — a new leaf. Next pick would be t-shirt. Apron is darling but I wouldn’t use it. And I’ve got a house full of totes.
I love the tote idea, plus what a great way for essentially free advertising for your website. So many people will see the bag while it is out on the town, versus an apron that will only be used in the home. Whatever you choose I am sure it will be wonderful.
I think the ring would be awesome. I’m personally not a single mama. I’m a college student. But, I think the idea of turning a new leaf from a wedding ring to a leaf ring is a powerful statement.
I love the apron and the tote….of course I have about 70 zillion totes, purses, and messenger bags.
I know we already have jewelry, but I love the idea of a single mom right-hand ring!
Thanks for the awesome feedback… I’m soaking it all in. Looks like the ring is ahead! But maybe I should make a ring and an apron and tuck them into a new tote!
I love both the apron & the ring….I want to choose both equally so instead of filling in the little “bubble” on the survey I decided to post a comment to express my love & admiration for both!! : )
Hope you choose one or the other, or maybe, just mayyyyybeeee you’ll choose both!!
Glad to hear your had a happy thanksgiving, tree picking & decorating….be sure to take time out to enjoy the long haul ’til christmas….this is my favorite long haul of the year…..playing santa and running around senseless to get it all wrapped and fancied up!
Take care!
I think the tote because we always need one to bring something with us…and if it was a special one- well we would always use it.
Love the apron. Retro and so cute!
