I love hats with little ears! This 100% cotton hat is handmade which makes it all the more special.

The Brown/Pink Bear Ear Flap Hat is moderately priced at $28. Continue on to see an animal ear hat...

Mamazakka One-of-A-Kind Dolls

Gwynne Watkins — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 14:15:00 GMT

Etsy seller Mamazakka won the Halloween costume contest yesterday with her handmade interpretation of Max and Wild Thing. But artist Autumn Sousanis' talents extend past Halloween: her store carries jewelry, pillow cases, and best of all, these stunning heirloom dolls. Inspired by Russian nesting dolls, these are made-for-grown-ups art pieces that beautifully symbolize motherhood. The painted faces and fabric details are truly exceptional; we've never seen anything quite like them. Dolls are available for purchase here; more photos after the jump!

Hand-Made: At Least the Personalized Snookie Has Rickrack

Kelly Mills — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 14:33:00 GMT

Behold the unfortunately-named Snookie. "Snookie" translates to "handmade chenille blanket with a cute little pocket" at the Baby Gardener for $34. The pocket is personalized with your child's name so you know who's snookie you are looking at. And inside the pocket is an armless, legless monkey. It's a cute monkey. And it's attacked with rickrack. I love rickrack. I'm naming my next child, Rickrack. At least it's a better name than Snookie.
