Disclaimer: I was NOT compensated for this post. I purchased a product from this company and was so impressed with the quality and service that I offered to do a review.
Recently my real-life college friend Amanda posted this adorable picture of her new baby on Facebook during a raven’s football game. (Sidenote: Check out Amanda’s blog. She’s one of those friends you want to hate, but can’t because she’s so sweet. Seriously, how can you be a doctor AND have a baby during your residency AND make the fanciest desserts that anyone has ever seen and blog about them AND be blessed to naturally look like a Barbie doll? It’s not fair, and yet I love you anyway.)
Amanda gave me permission to re-post the photo for you. Adorbs, yes?
Of course people wanted to know where she got the adorable hat in custom colors to match our team, and she said it was from the Etsy shop Me to You Crochet.
I clicked over to check it out and fell in love too. Not only are the products super cute, they are really affordable, especially for hand-made. The majority of items in the shop are below the $20 price point. Plus it is run by a woman named Teresa, which is my mom’s name, so that’s always a good sign.
I love this Christmas hat so much ($18)
but I think this one might be my favorite ($17)

I ended up ordering a red headband for Penny that we will use as part of her Christmas outfit.
I was lucky and got my order in last week before the holiday price was in effect. I sent an Etsy convo to Teresa the shop owner about the color for my order and she responded the same day. My order came VERY fast, about 5 days from when I placed the order, and I really liked that there were buttons on the back of the headband to make it adjustable. My 3-year-old was jealous and asked if she could have one too. I might be able to use it for both of my girls because of the adjustable feature. We will probably also use it as an ear warmer throughout the winter because Penny doesn’t care for hats.
I love shining the spotlight on small businesses, especially those that are owned by women and most especially when it means I get to go shopping for handmade versions stuff that I would be buying anyway.
