Thanks to Upscale Baby Blog!

Thanks to Upscale Baby Blog for their review of our Hand Picked Pumpkin Collin Reversible Hoodie. Here's what they had to say:

Recently I came across the perfect hoodie for a little boy: the Collin Reversible Hoodie made by Hand Picked Pumpkin. It is absolutely adorable! Made of 100% interlock cotton, this hoodie is so soft and not too heavy for warmer spring or cooler summer days. The beautiful cocoa brown hoodie is offset by blue trim and rodeo music players on the lining. It snaps, so it’s easy to get on and off baby. Angela Bassett’s son Slater was wearing this hoodie on the Oprah Winfrey Valentine’s Day Show. At $54, it’s not overpriced for the average person, either, and it’s reversible, so you’re really getting two hoodies in one! To view this cute hoodie, visit HandPickedPumpkin.com.

Thanks to About.com: Creative and Colorful Baby Clothing

Many thanks to About.com for their review of Hand Picked Pumpkin. Here's what they had to say about our creative and colorful baby clothing:

Many parents long to try their creative hand at designing baby clothing for their baby boys and baby girls. But many choose not to, simply because they feel they lack the skills.

Now all that can change with Hand Picked Pumpkin. You get to choose from basics like rompers, dresses, tops and bodysuits, bottoms and other essentials. Then you can select a base fabric and a contrasting fabric and Hand Picked Pumpkin will do the rest.

Not ready to dabble in creating your own custom baby clothing? You can also choose from ready-made designs.

Baby t-shirts start at less than $20, and for the totally originally styling you get, it's worth it. Clothing from Hand Picked Pumpkin would also make a great baby gift.

Our June Pumpkin of the Month

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

"Kaylee loves to wear her dress from HPP! It is very soft and comfortable to play in (unlike many other dresses she has and describes as scratchy). I love the durable fabric and the great colors and design. This dress is a spring and summer staple!"

Congratulations Kaylee and Jennifer on receiving a $50 hpp gift certificate!

Photo session images!

We did a Hand Picked Pumpkin photo session a few weeks back for our fall/winter 09 ready-made line that will be available in July on our website, in boutiques and shown at home shows. Thought I'd share one of my favorite photos of our updated best seller the Audrey Long Sleeve Lap Tee and Audrey flare pant. How precious is this image!

Many thanks to Celebrity Baby Blog for their feature on Hand Picked Pumpkin! Here's what they have to say about our line:

Need stylish clothes for both boys and girls? Try Hand Picked Pumpkin for creative, custom clothing for babies and toddlers.

Get the basics for baby with short and longsleeve bodysuits, or crew tees in a variety of colors and 100% cotton fabrics, then select from a wide assortment of printed fabrics — in stripes, dots, retro cowboys, florals — to customize the trim. Prices for bodysuits range from $32 to $40, and t-shirts from $18 to $42, but with a palette of 21 fabrics to select for customizing, you can’t beat the price for original (and cute!) baby clothing.

For toddlers, try mixing and matching prints as you customize drawstring pants ($30-44) with cuffs and a tie, or a shirt dress ($32-46) with its collar and placket. With loads of options for sizes, garment colors and fabrics for trim, this easy-to-use-website shows you exactly what your customized garment will look like. Don’t like stripes with flowers? Keep playing around with styles until you find the exact one that suits both you and your child.

Not in the mood to customize? No problem. Just go for the ready-made selections that the website offers.
