The other day, Retta from Stitching the Night Away posted about some really cute autism awareness bracelets. My daughter Kayley actually made autism bracelets for awhile a year or so ago, but hers weren’t quite as cute as these. (Shhhh!)
I got in touch with Jen, the lady who makes the bracelets and it turns out we have something in common: we both have darling little 4-year-old boys who have autism. She uses the proceeds from the sale of her beautiful bracelets to provide therapies and treatment for her little guy.
I LOVE these bracelets! I love that they’re different from the typical red/yellow/blue color combination you always see on everything related to autism awareness. Aren’t they pretty?
You can win one of these gorgeous bracelets by simply leaving a comment on this post. Bonus points for mentioning this contest on your own blog. The winner will be announced here on Mother’s Day. Entries accepted through Saturday, May10th. This is open to US residents only.
Feel free to grab the button below to link here!

They are beautiful! I have a friend who’s son is Autistic and he is just the sweetest lil guy ever. I think it’s wonderful that you are helping your friend out by doing this and that you look at your son as a gift and not as a burden! Take care!

As the parent of a son with autism, I thought I had seen all the autism, clothing, jewelry, etc. These are unusual and pretty. I would actually wear this! You’re doing a great thing and raising autism awareness. Great job!

Beautiful wee bracelets…
But in a self serving kind of way I was hoping for a link to an Autism site…
You see, I have a good friend, and she is homeschooling her kid, I think partly because she is afraid to find out he has autism…
And I love her madly,she is such a great person,but I think she really needs to have her wee guy tested and not avoid the issue…
It scares me as she thinks he will grow out of it with time…
