I've been on a shopping rampage lately and have discovered tons of amazing handmade treasures at one of my favorite online shopping destinations... Etsy. While I am mostly shopping for my newborn little girl, I always keep my eyes out for fun and special goodies for boys.

Crochet hats were a huge obsession for me this fall. Especially super funky ones like sock monkeys, owls, flying pigs and angry birds.

With all our trips back and forth to our seemingly miles away bus stop and the myriad of events were baby sister had to tag along, quickly throwing on one of her hats kept Hadley warm and cozy plus the center of attention. We never left the house with out one of Hadley's signature hats!

Even though it's July, my 4 month old baby Hadley is still wearing crochet hats. Partly because at night it still gets a little chilly, partly to cover the little rubbed out bald spot she's sporting from laying on her back too much and partly because I am obsessed with how cute she looks in them. It's goodies like this that make me favor the colder months!

Beanie Designs sent little Hadley the cutest handmade off white earflap flower beanie. We love it. It stays on really well and she loves to chew on the braided yarn that hangs down. I keep this and a little white sweater in her diaper bag for nights on the porch at friends houses. Keep reading to find out how to win one for yourself!

DIY doesn't have to be scary even if the theme might be a touch on the menacing side. Throw a *dare we say cute* monster themed birthday party with this fun and custom printable monster themed party pack from Charlie lou designs.

It's no secret I have a serious Etsy addiction lately in addition to a new baby. Which works well since my baby has some hair issues (what newborn doesn't) and I know Etsy is a great place to find some amazing hats for little Hadley. One of my latest purchases is from JeabMade and I'm dying! I've gotten so many compliments about this adorable crochet beanie so in addition to another beanie for Hadley in the next size up, I also got two more for my 4 and 5 year old girls so they can all match. I'm a slave to coordination!

If you're looking for a way to recreate your own Anne Geddes style photo shoot, how about a picture perfect crotchet cocoon staged in a nest like basket. I spotted this adorable newborn owl hat and cocoon pod from Just Dandy Creations on Etsy and am totally inspired and in awe of this precious little one.
