Mama designed and baby tested, the line is stylish, beautiful and locally hand-sewn from the coziest of fabrics. This is truly one of the most unique companies out there!

Many thanks to Petit Elefant for their second review of Hand Picked Pumpkin.

Here's what they have to say about our custom baby clothing:

Looking for a sweet little number for your babes this Spring? I love the customizable outfits from Hand Picked Pumpkin; 3 easy steps to personalization: pick a piece, choose the size, and select fabrics. Honestly, they're so adorable it's ridiculous.
Hand Picked Pumpkin gives you the option of creating one-of-a-kind outfits for your babes, minus the sewing. I'm all for that.

Thanks to the Examiner.com!

Many thanks to Examiner.com for mentioning Hand Picked Pumpkin in their Best Baby Show Gift Series. Here's a clip from the review:

Hand Picked Pumpkin has a great customized gift option that allow you to design each clothing item. I made one of their cute reversible cotton hoodie jackets. The process itself is really fun, making it a great gift certificate item or something cool you can customize for your friend's baby too. You pick colors, patterns, even button colors for the inside and outside of the little jacket. I did a blue and brown combo with cowboy and horses retro accent print. It turned out really great and it's like getting a gift twice - once designing your item and a second time when it arrives in the mail.

Two little pumpkins

Just look at these two adorable pumpkins dressed in hpp for their photo session. I absolutely love it when customers share images of their little ones wearing our line.

May Pumpkin of the Month!

Here's Katherine, our newest Pumpkin of the Month! Her mom Elizabeth included this note:

"Wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much we are enjoying Katherine's Hand Picked Pumpkin clothing. We just got her shirt dress in the mail—adorable! I can't wait until fall when she can wear it. She has been living in her flare pants and lap T outfit. I get so many compliments on it and so many people ask where we got it. I wish you made the flare pants in adult sizes. They are so darling! The best thing is how well your clothing washes up and keeps it shape, size, and color. Katherine is crawling and always on the move and your clothing moves with her. She is quiet the messy eater but I never worry since it washes up so well! I am attaching a picture of Katherine at 9 months in her favorite Hand Picked Pumpkin outfit. It has been washed and worn over 30 times (can you tell it is our favorite) and it still looks like new. Even the knees have held up — which is quiet a feat with a crawling baby! Thank you so much for your wonderful clothing line!"

Congratulations Katherine and Elizabeth on receiving a $50 hpp gift certificate!

Want to tell us how cute your pumpkin is, then email us a photo of your little one dressed in hpp and tell us about it!

Inspiration

Happy in the morning

I open my cottage door;

A clear breeze blowing

Comes straight in.

The first sun

Lights the leafy trees;

The shadows it casts

Are crystal clear.

Serene,

In accord with my heart,

Everything merges

In one harmony.

Gain and loss

Are not my concern;

This way is enough

To the end of my days.
