Me & Madeline (Review & Giveaway - CLOSED)
5:30 AM Posted by Angie Vinez
Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop online. The people who list items on there are some of the most creative people around. And I always love finding out about Moms who run Etsy shops and sharing them here on Buy By Mom.Molly, who blogs over on momma-molly.com, recently opened up an Etsy Shop called Me and Madeline. In her shop, she offers some gorgeous handcrafted crocheted items including hats and headbands. (She even has hats for boys and men!)
My Review of Me and Madeline
Molly sent a hat my way to try out and get my opinion on. She asked me what Lucy's favorite color is, and sent us a gorgeous pink hat with a beautiful pink flower attached.When Lucy saw the hat, she asked me, "Oh, WOW, Mommy! Is that for ME? It's pink! I love pink!"
She put the hat on and refused to take it off the rest of the day. Then, the next day, she woke up and the first thing she did was put the hat on her head. There was my little girl, in her Little Mermaid PJs and her hat from Me and Madeline. She has done this every day. And now that the weather is getting cooler, she can wear it outside, too, which just thrills her to pieces! She loves showing off her hat to everyone she meets.
As a mom, I am super impressed with several things about Me and Madeline: First, the quality is top notch. The hat is beautifully made, and if it can survive my little tornado, Lucy, wearing it day in and day out, it can pretty much take anything! Next, I love the colors used. Bright and bold but definitely not overboard, Molly uses the perfect color combinations in all of her designs. And lastly, the price! At just $15 for a hat, and headbands starting at just $3, these are excellent quality items you can actually afford!
I've added Me and Madeline to my list of favorite shops, and I plan to stop by often and see the new designs she puts up! These would make fabulous Christmas gifts!
Want to Try Me & Madeline for Yourself?

Me and Madeline is an adorable Etsy shop! I especially like the white with the dark pink flower and the light blue beanie as well. I would love to know if there is a ivory/cream color with a brown and pink flower for a thanksgiving dress I have for my daughter. Love it! Will pass along for sure!
