Cute in a Cape! ~ Giveaway!

I didn't think it was possible for our little girl to get any more comments about how cute she was (we think so too!) but it did happen! She's been wearing a cape when we've been out a few times recently, and you should hear people exclaim! :)

We moved Annalies up from the baby bucket car seat to a convertible car seat facing backwards in March. Although we loved the bucket seat for many reasons, ours fits on the small side, and we were just too tired of the struggle to get the straps closed around her round tummy. She was nice and cozy under her car seat cover, and we waited as long as we could, until the weather was some warmer to switch seats, because we knew we'd need to use a jacket or something. Trust me, putting her little arms into jacket sleeves is not a fun task. After a few weeks of jacket wearing, we decided there had to be a better way. Just about the same time, I found out about Cute Capes 'n' Caps, a great little Etsy shop. Ramona, a mom of 3, had the same problem when their little girl changed seats, and she decided to make a cape to keep her warm. One thing led to another, and now she's making capes (and many other cute items) for other little people too.

Capes are available with or without collar. And it's true: they are so much easier to put on than a jacket. One clip (hook and eye closure) and you're done! Adjust the seat straps over the cape and under the collar, click, and go. Easy peasy!!! There are a variety of fleeces to choose from, and the capes are available in many different sizes. Something fun about the capes is that Ramona purchases fleece in small quantities, so that they are either 1 or 2-of-a-kind. Something unique for your little girl! OR boy: Ramona makes capes for little boys too - her little guy wore one as well. Special orders (ie matching capes) are also possible, just convo Ramona via Etsy.

Ramona also makes crocheted hats for children and adults in many different styles and colours. Summer hats, winter hats, traditional shapes or really fun "jester" type hats - you'll find them all at Cute Capes 'n' Caps.  Booties and cocoons are also available.
