Stylin’ baby steps

There’s nothing quite like something homemade, which is exactly what makes Mom’s Blankies, a one-woman online boutique offering customized blankets, burp cloths and beautifully crafted baby shoes, so special.

Started three years ago by brand new mom Shaunna Coit, Mom’s Blankies offers a wide array of soft, cozy, comfy baby boots and slippers made from soft and flexible fabrics, minus hard interfacing. The slip resistant soles are faux leather.

Coit’s patterns include everything from boots to booties, ballet-type slippers in fabrics ranging from floral to plaid, bright colors to earth tones.

Best of all? They’re made to order, and Coit’s happy to match a pair of shoes or boots to a specific outfit, so your tot can be cozy and fashionable at the same time!

Mom’s Blankies shoes and booties, $15. For info, visit www.momsblankies.etsy.com.
