Doll. {giveaway}
When I was a little girl I was obsessed (shocking, I know) with dolls.
Barbies in particular.
I would play and play with my dolls.
We had a pretty fantastic fantasy world where they were my children and I was their mommy. They were very well behaved if I do say so myself. At 3 years old I was practically doll mommy of the year.
So now that I have my very own living doll, it truly is fulfilling a lifelong dream.
What is one to do when their dream comes true?
Love, cuddle…and play dress up every.single.day!
Since my Bitzy was born each day has been a practice of Project Runway Baby Edition. Only, I’m not a fashion designer, a seamstress (unfortunately), or a wounded and tortured artist. So actually, it’s not like Project Runway at all.
Details, details.
The point is that I LOVE dressing my sweetheart in cutesy clothes.
In other related news, I am officially and undoubtedly addicted to Etsy. What is Etsy you ask? It’s only the most fantastically fantastic way to support small businesses/artists and to get cool, creative stuff that very few other people have. I mean, Gap is great and all, but it’s nice to go to the park wearing some Etsy gear and not match every other kid, ya know? (am I snooty or what???).
That said, when I was gearing up for Bitzy’s 6 month pictures I scoured Etsy for the cutest and best priced hats. Then, I happened upon Sparkleberry Crafts. Not only was the selection incredible, but the customer service was supreme (just another reason to shop Etsy, you talk to real people rather than an automated system).
It was then that I began chatting with Janet, the creative genious responsible for Sparkleberry Crafts. I explained what I wanted and she graciously created the hat below.
I mean, seriously? Cutest baby + Cutest hat= Precious!!!!
The great news? Sweet Janet has so generously agreed to do a Giveaway for an amazing custom made hat for your little bitty!!! Yay!
Here are some samples below:
I mean A-mazing, right?!!!

I am a sugar addict. This, you must know. Any sugar will do. Well, except for those weird smushy hamburger candies and I've never been much for black licorice. I'll pass on those. But any other sugar is fair game. 
Oh I want…scratch that…I need the brown and pink one! So cute!!! Sophie would be beyond cute in one of these. I’m getting one no matter what! Thanks Molly!
Can she make one for a boy for the giveaway?? Well, I have 2 friends who have little girls, one is just a couple days old and one is due in a few months. So, if I were to win, it would make a lovely gift! Or, maybe I would hang onto it in hopes to put it on a girl of my own
Molly, I *love* the one she made for you!! But out of the ones you posted, #4 is my favorite 
Wait, maybe #1 is… or # 2. AGH, they are ALL cute!!
Oh, and the 6-12month size
My fav is the brown, pink and blue hat. (I think it’s the 3rd pic) I would need size 12-24 mo I think. I’m thinking Rosy would look precious – your Bitzy is the perfect model! She’s so happy, I’m sure you’ll have tons of entries wanting their children to look just as cute as her!!!!
LOVE the idea of a giveaway – who doesn’t love free stuff?!
Thanks!
So very Cute! I love #3!
LOVE the brown with pink and blue… so cute for fall! Great contest Molly!!
Tweet! twitter.com/sweetcaptures
I’m following you… but in a totally – non-stalker tweeting way
The hats are amazing! I love the 2nd hat, the brown hat with the pink flower!
I want the Sparkleberry hat 12-24 months. NO…I’m not pregnant (I could see you infering that from my entry) BUT I do love those hats and think Nora would be the cutest baby in one of them.
i would go with Number 4 b/c Madi will be 6 months and it would be the perfect springtime hat. These are so cute!!!!!
Can I put it on my son?
LOOOVE, love, love the hats, but just not quite right for Mr. Giovanni–and NO, I will not have another baby just to try for a girl. (Ok, not now…maybe someday.)
Oops–I forgot to say which one. I love the brown one with the pink flower (second one down).
I love the red and white one..the last one..Perfect for Christmas! Not to mention that baby is supremely adorable..not as cute as our Addie and Bitzy of course..but pretty darn close
I would take any of these fabulous hats! but I do love the brown with the pink flower. You will be happy to know that I’m channeling my taste for pink for my little girl. No surprise that I never liked girly stuff.
Gosh, any size would probably due (since I’m working with a fresh slate here!) but I would probably go for about 6-12 months. I already ordered three newborn hats from ETSY that I’m sure she will grow out of way too fast! Now on to get more comments!! …
Just ‘liked’ LSE on facebook. One comment for me!!
YAY!
Just followed on Twitter. Pick me, random.org, pick me!!
I’m kinda dumb… how do I subscribe to LSE? Not like I don’t check it every other day anyway.
I couldn’t find where to ‘like’ Sparkleberry Crafts on FB, (I even went through your ‘likes’ and couldn’t find it). Instead, I put a shout out on my wall. hope that counts! Boy, do I want a hat!
They are all so adorable! I am in love with each and every one of them. I guess my favorite is the first one — the blue with the white flowers. But I almost picked the brown one. It’s really a toss-up, but if forced to pick one, I’ll go with the top blue one pictured above. And those babies are so precious, too!

I would love to subscribe to Little Stories Everywhere, but I couldn’t figure out how! I see Tara (who commented above) also had the same problem, so I don’t feel quite so bad! Could you sign me up to get your emails and/or follow! Thanks!
Oh, and I forgot to add that any size would do, but I’d probably pick the 6-12 month size.
I couldn’t find sprakleberry crafts on facebook. Anyone else? If you found it, can you send me a direct link? thanks!
