This contest has ended! Thanks to all that entered!
I first found Etsy 2 years ago when I was looking for a handmade hat. I have been a photographer for 9 years and there is something about babies in hats that makes a picture perfect. Ella still looks adorable in hats, so I love buying them for her. Now that is time for Fall weather and Ella’s head has grown since last season, I decided to look on Etsy for organic handmade hats and came across Rudbeckia.
I contacted Susan from Rudbeckia with a request to do a review and giveaway for her amazing hats. She truly went above and beyond to create Ella the PERFECT organic hat to match her Fall photoshoot dress. Susan even created a detachable linen rose and bow for the hat to keep it fully Eco-friendly. I’m glad I could be an inspiration for her! She was such a pleasure to work with, I can’t recommend Rudbeckia enough!
Our photoshoot was Saturday and it was 85 degrees here. The hat started to make Ella warm, so the detachable rose came in handy! Not to mention it is gorgeous! Yes, she is my happy little hippy baby. I absolutely LOVE the way the hat looks on her and the vintage feel it gives the pictures.
The hat is very warm and great for colder weather. But, the rose feature is perfect for any time. The organic cotton is very soft and beautifully handknit. The hat can be gently handwashed. Ella dropped hers uptown and I was able to get the dirt off very easily. I think you can tell by the pictures what a beautiful hat Rudbeckia creates!
Rudbeckia carries handmade knit hats in sizes newborn to adults, scarves, cowls and headbands all at great prices.

I like how the items are made in a smoke-free and pet-free home — very important in an allergy-prone household.
