Hi friends. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a couple of weeks now, but obviously by my lack of posts recently, I have not yet come around to it. Well ladies and gentlemen, here we are.
See, I have this friend. Her name is Emily. She has a blog. She has a ridiculously cute little girl named Poppy. And a couple of months ago she started an Etsy shop with all of her cute handcrafted goodies.
You guys remember this little blue poppy clip from our trip to the beach? Yea, this was my first purchase from UFF Da!. It’s actually a hair clip, but since Ry refuses to let me pull her hair back, I decided to accessorize her hat with it!
Before I knew it, Emily was making adorable, “upcycled” hats made out of repurposed sweaters and hand stitched patches with woodland creatures on it. I spotted a white hat with a pink deer on it…how perfect, right? I had entered a giveaway to try and win one, but when that didn’t pan out, I went in for the purchase. And I was not disappointed! Since Emily is based out of Seattle, I had an envelope in my mailbox 3 days later! I was so excited! I hopped back in the car, turned to Rylee in the back seat and told her there was a new hat in the envelope. Ry loves her hats, so she was very excited as well. I opened it up and Rylee had the biggest grin on her face and let out the cutest little giggle. She reached for the hat and put it right on her head.
I couldn’t get the hat off of her! So I went ahead and grabbed my camera to snag a few more shots of the hat Rylee.
{yea, yea kid, I see your bruises…I’m more interested in your hat right now!}
Once we finally got inside I was able to check out what else was in the envelope. I found a sweet handwritten note from Emily thanking me for the purchase. I was so excited for this because I personally think that handwritten thank you notes is a lost art. There was also her business card and an UFF Da! sticker. I am really happy with the quality of both products I have purchased and her service has been excellent!
{Proudly sportin’ my new sticker on my party planning notebook!}
Her store is filled with a lot more handmade hats and hair clips. You’ll also find hair clippie holders, fairy wands, stylish bandana style drool bibs and even hand sewn vintage style dresses. If you know anyone with little kidlets or if you have some of your own you should go check out Emily’s UFF Da! Etsy shop. You will not be disappointed! Christmas is just around the corner. {I can’t believe I just said that…and yes, I may have already started my shopping…}
Now, for the record and to avoid any confusion, I was in no way compensated for my words. Miss Emily had no idea that I was writing this post. I did this review because, like I said, UFF Da! Rocks my socks!
That hat is adorable! (Well, and adorable on Miss Rylee!) I just got a headband with a little flower on the side for Natalie and she l.o.v.e.s. it, so I'm going to check this website out and see what I can find (shhhh! Don't tell Jeff!)… :)

Seriously Karey…I hope you loved the stuff! I think it's all so cute! If you're looking for other headbands, check out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/twentyfivedesign They have some very cute stuff. I haven't bought anything from there yet, but I've been drooling for quite some time now!
PS-your secret is safe with me haha Andy doesn't know either. ;)
DUH! We love the care and quality you put into each piece and I absolutely loved the pack you put together…even the sticker (you know, as soon as I realized it was a sticker). I think it would be so fun to get the girls together some day…sadly, 300+ miles just seems a little much for an afternoon coffee. ;)
Adorable!!! Seriously.
