For Wee Heads

Ever since I found out we're having a boy I've been obsessed with finding adorable little hats. Little girl's get so many cute accessories to choose from and honestly i think there is nothing cuter than a little boy in a hat. I love the little knit bonnets of the 50s as well as the handmade character hats made by etsy artisans. Here are a few I've added to my baby wish-list.

First we'll start with handmade

Adorable simple knit cap with the best oversized button. How can I resist?

Vine Street Goods

OMG aviator hat! I've got one so I def have to have one for my little man too!

EffyBags

Awwwwww how sweet is this "sleepy owl" hat. I just love the fringe details.

Twysted Yarn

Perfect for your easter photos, this little bunny hat seriously melts my heart!

Little Bird Lucy

This one I HAVE to get, a knit news-boy style hat with button details. Just so precious!

Little Lamb Creation

Simple and sweet, little ear-flap cap in little boy blue

Coffee Country Crochet

Babbidge Patch

Now for the vintage caps!

This sweet little news-boy style cap is the perfect hat for an active little boy.

Stelma Designs

This fair isle ski cap is perfect for chilly winters, like it will be when my babe is born.

Fox and Owl (who i actually purchased from before, see the items here)

Love this little quilted cap. A must for a chilly day at the park!

Found Under the Eaves

A sweet "geese" knit cap, complete with mini-pom on top.

Suzin Colo

This one is OMG perfect. Original 50s knit with chin strap and button for a steal...if you dont snag this one. I will!

Nancy's Novelties

Classic corduroy cap for boys, keeps the sun out of their eyes while they play around.

Bohemian Bisoux

Another classic corduroy cap with brim, but this one has a chin strap as well.

Lakeside Cottage

And as I'm sure that not all of you are interested in boy's hats, I couldn't help but sharing this way too cute embroidered knit bonnett. One I would for sure be buying if I was having a little girl.

Gremlina

Aren't they adorable?! I just love little hats but I'm trying not to buy anything else for the babe until after the shower...which is in like 4 months..so its going to be really really really really really hard. I seriously doubt I'll make it until thanksgiving..haha.. But I AM going to try.

Oh Boy!

Well As I mentioned earlier today is the day we found out what I'm growing, boy or girl.

It is a Boy. A big, squirmy boy and since I didn't have much in the way of boy clothes I did a little bit of shopping today too.

Here is what I wore today, as you can see there is not much in the way of vintage that will fit my big belly now. I'm carrying all out in front so its nothing but maternity pants & tops..with a vintage cardi of course.

BAM..belly

Wearing my one of a kind bracelet a sweet handmade treat from Tree & Kimball, today.

First official baby boy purchases. 0-3 mo Long sleeve onesies, 3-6 mo short sleeve onesies, an adorable outfit (6 mos) and 2 frames.

Love these frames!!!

Oh and these cutest ever little robot doggie shoes. awwww.

I had a lot more but I thought I had better save some for my next trip and I guess I could leave some for friends and family to buy..ya know..cuz everyone loves to buy tiny baby things. I'll be going through my girl clothes and setting aside my favorite pieces and the probably selling the rest so you should see a huge influx of baby girl clothes in the shop in the next few months as well as a bunch of winter items coming probably late Oct, early Nov including some ugly christmas sweaters..HA.

Oh and to help me fund my baby purchases there is a 20% off sale happening in my shop this week. Prices good until Sunday at midnight.
