The genius of the blankie cape

"what's this?" you say. it's a blankie cape, duh!

here's its story:
lauren happened upon this post here. and thought that she had just the thing for us. she emailed me and offered me one of her fantastic blankie capes if i would tell you guys all about it. my first thought was, "sure, why not!" i loved the idea of supporting an artist and helping her sell her stuff! then i was unsure, i mean, i don't have a huge readership. would it even be worth it to her? i didn't want to take advantage of her generosity. but she said that every little bit helped and she would be sending one out. we got it yesterday.

this is a cool item! it will not fall off when you put it on! no more worrying about it coming untied! lauren created a way of attaching it that works great and is also easy for a child to remove when they are done. genius!! and she uses the greatest fabrics- check out that purple fuzzy stuff! it is SO soft. bean kept rubbing it on her face. :) it is also beautifully made.

so, i like it. woop-dee-do! the real test is does a kid like it, right. well...












bean was running around so much that i couldn't get great pictures but i think you can see that she does like it quite a bit! it is a success!!

so where can you get a blankie cape for your little super hero? simple, stop by lauren's esty shop- frank and me. (frank is her son and the inspiration behind much of what she makes.) and she makes more than blankie capes too! need a gift for a new baby? check out her site! she makes beautiful blankets, bibs, burp cloths, and other great items. my personal favorites are the changing monster and the burp monster. SO cute and funny!! the fabrics she has to choose from are beautiful but if you don't see something you like she does do custom orders!

so if you have a moment, go check out lauren's store. it will be worth the trip!! :)
