baby on board

Four years ago, Jessie Rivers had a baby and started a home business, sewing stylish clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.

Using her son’s nickname (Bubby), Rivers called her company Bubby’s Handmade.

Earlier this year, Rivers decided to try something new. The Berry College grad started Bubby’s Handmade Home to sell her line of trendy subway art.

For a nursery wall or desk-top easel, her handmade “Birth Boards” have been a hit.

Colors in the eight-inch-by-eight-inch boards ($25, plus shipping) can be customized to match your nursery and provide a fresh approach to a framed baby announcement.

Rivers also designs art with positive or inspirational phrases, such as the black and white “Mother Theresa Quote Board” ($45, plus shipping). It measures 17 inches by 22 inches.
