Natural Feet Warmers, Made in the U.S.
Warm feet, warm feet, warm feet. It's that simple.
I love your Snuggly Toes. I can't remember the last time I was out shoveling snow and my feet weren't freezing. This year that never happened.
-Arlene
Snuggly Toes alpaca feet warmers will keep your feet warm all winter. The alpaca fiber makes these feet warmers so warm. The processing makes them incredibly durable. The alpaca fiber is spun into yarn, knit into a blanket, then felted into fabric. Here's the whole process. You slip the feet warmers into any shoe, boot or slipper. The Snuggly Toes feet warmers will last all winter.

When I grew up in suburbia, I never imagined being a farmer. The closest I got to livestock was driving by cows on the highway. I've always loved animals though.
After graduating from the University of Puget Sound, I got into news. I worked at MSNBC for nearly five years before ditching corporate life. Selling the house was easy (this was in 2001), and getting rid of all my stuff wasn't so bad. Hitting the road with my dog, Grace, and two cats, Spring and Autumn, was an absolute blast.
I traveled the country in a travel trailer for four years, visiting Alaska, California, Washington, Maine and Georgia. I wanted to find something, someone, or some place amazing.
The something turned out to be alpacas. One visit to Jefferson Farms Alpacas and Llamas was all it took. It was a rainy, mucky day when Jane Levene took me to the barn to feed the girls. Suddenly these fuzzy, long necked creatures were staring me in the face looking for treats. I was in love.
The next few months I stayed at the farm, helped with daily chores, and learned about these amazing animals.
Long story short, I started Springtime Farms in 2005 with 12 alpacas.
Meredith's Menagerie has grown to 33 alpacas, 7 goats, 6 chickens and 5 dogs, including three guard dogs for the alpacas. Every once in a while a foster dog or cats visits until they find a forever home.
I try to be as self-sustaining as possible. After living off-grid for many years (I loved it), I moved to Salem, OR to be with Mr. Wonderful. I'm back on the grid, but in an area of the country where I can actually grow things! I'm in love with the fresh apples, cherries, blackberries, pears, plums. This year the carrots, peas, beets, and cauliflower were successful. Wait until next year. Fresh milk and eggs grace my table daily.
I've been working with alpaca fiber since day one. It's absolutely incredible. It's softer and warmer than wool. I already knew how to crochet, but had to get it from the animal into yarn. So, I learned to clean, card and spin. A class on needle felting was fabulous. Unfortunately I haven't been able to spend much time on that project.
I got the idea for alpaca shoe inserts from a woman who had been putting lose fiber in her shoes to keep her feet warm. You could almost see the lightbulb above my head...something warm, sturdy, and long-lasting.
Since then, I've seen them for sale twice. Both have been from felted fiber. That's how I started making them, but they didn't hold up very well.
A few tries later, and I realized if I spin the fiber, crochet it, then felt it, the inserts hold up very well.
The yarn for Snuggly Toes has been spun at a small U.S. mill. In fact, it's at another alpaca farm. I then knit the fiber on a knitting machine.br>
Felting something that's been crocheted or knitted is very easy. Throw it in the washing machine on hot three times, and viola, it's felted. (Ever washed a wool sweater by accident? Same thing)
Snuggly Toes are then cut from the fabric.
Springtime Farms is open to visitors. Come see Paco, Fat Patti, Walter and the rest of the gang. You'll get to feed them treats just like I did.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can Snuggly Toes be washed?
Yes, Snuggly Toes can be washed. The best way is to fill a sink with enough hot water to cover the Snuggly Toes. After the sink is filled (not during), put in a squish of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Let the Snuggly Toes soak for about 20 minutes. Take them gently out of the water and drain the sink. Re-fill the sink with hot water. Once it's full, put the Snuggly Toes back in for a 20 minute rinse cycle. Let air dry.
Alternative: Throw them in the washing machine on cold and let air dry. I have tried this with a few washings, and the Snuggly Toes are holding up. However, I don't guarantee they will last as long as washing them in the sink.
How do I confirm my order?
I will send you an e-mail when your order has been sent. If you have any questions before that, please feel free to e-mail me (Meredith@SnugglyToes.com) or call (719-783-9619). Please call during awake hours, mountain time, as this is my home phone.
How long will Snuggly Toes last?
I used my Snuggly Toes all winter (a long 6 months here) for morning and evening chores. The answer depends a little bit on how often you use them, but planning for one season is reasonable.
Snuggle up with alpaca warmth!

I have been an artist longer than I can remember. Painting on anything that didn't move, my first piece of artwork was a painting I did, of on all places, my dad's army boots! It would be some time before people put the name shabby or primitive on this type of work .
After marrying in 1983 and moving to Pennsylvania, my love of oils turned to acrylics when I fell in love with the Folk Art that was so prevalent in this part of the US. I was already doing shows and markets when a move, years later, to Florida afforded me the opportunity to open my own boutique. I offered Folk Art, Antiques, Vintage, Primitive Dolls and Handmade Soap (or at least what I thought was handmade soap).
Always being the perfectionist and wanting to give my customers only the best, I found the soap and other bath and body products I carried was not as nurturing, hydrating or pure as I thought they should be.
Using my medical knowledge (was in the medical field for years), I then set off on the quest to find out how to make my own all natural soap, lotion, lip balms and more. What I found were products laden with chemicals and preservatives. What touches your skin is eventually absorbed into your blood stream. That's a bit scary!
Many soaps that are sold as Handmade are actually produced in huge warehouses. These soap blocks are shipped in large quantities that anyone can re-melt, mix with scent, color, blend them with synthetic Glycerin, and call them Glycerin Soaps or even Handmade soap. The problem with this is you don't know if the Glycerin they are using is derived from plants or bio-diesel fuel! Yes, bio-diesel fuel! ! !
I use the tried and true cold process method of making soap - entirely from scratch with certified organic oils that your skin actually craves. This process retains 100% of the natural soap glycerin produced by this method so adding synthetic glycerin or plant glycerin is not necessary! My products will never contain chemicals or preservatives of any kind.
I still do my research at least once a week to keep up with the latest information on what I can do to make my bath and body products better, safe and relevant. I am always developing and testing new recipes for future products to offer so check back often!
When it comes to my vintage finds, I still keep my eyes peeled for the unique and unusual. Saturday mornings are spent looking for cast off goodies at Estate and Tag Sales so you never know what I might be posting for sale on my website from one week to the next.
I stay busy! We all pitch in here at the Jennings household from measuring oils, pouring, the making, cutting, wrapping and shipping. Everything we do is very hands on for quality control and superb customer service.
I welcome your suggestions, points of view and, yes, even constructive criticism. It keeps me on my toes and allows me to grow!
Your patronage is always appreciated. You are my business!
