About Us
What we stand for
We are a devout Catholic owned business that believes in finding beauty to glorify God in the everyday, especially in the home environment we create. With that in mind, each product is designed to combine functionality with aesthetic, purpose with beauty.
Where we began
Ingleside Dreams was founded in 2016 when owner and new stay at home mom Elena needed to fill the hours while her baby slept. What began as a small Etsy venture with everything from crocheted hats to thrifted treasures has grown over the years to focus solely on baby products, more specifically heirloom quality, handmade, baby accessories.
Elena's family has also grown alongside her business, and she is now expecting baby number five. As new babies have joined the family, so have new Ingleside products. For example, an especially drooly baby no. 3 prompted the bib designs that now form a big part of our business! The kids now feature as many of our models and all products are tried and true family favorites.
Why Ingleside Dreams?
Ingleside Dreams is named after two homes of Elena's all-time favorite literary heroine, Anne of Green Gables. The heart of this inspiration comes from Anne herself--her imaginative worlds of fancy, her love of beauty, and her House of Dreams. Each item listed is a part of Elena's own dream to create beautiful things that can be a part of your home and life.
A note about our materials
In 2021 we made the decision to commit to using solely natural fibers in the production of our bibs and knit items. Choosing this cleaner, safer route for your babies also has positive impact on the environment. We have found a 100% wool yarn that is soft enough for baby's skin, and our bibs are made from cotton materials. Decisions like this matter to us because we only want to produce quality products that will last. You can be sure that if we wouldn't put it on our babies, we wouldn't sell it to you.
