Now what starts with the letter C? C is for cookie. And, of course, cat.
And it pops up in the middle of Little C Designs, a new line for tiny tots from an Annapolis-based teacher-turned-designer.
Blankets, bibs, and burp cloths are handmade from bright cotton fabrics that are happy enough for the nursery yet cool enough to head out on the town. Basic onesies are silk-screened with simple graphics like a shrimp, an owl, or a tux.
C is also for custom: You can order bed skirts, curtains, and pillows to your liking.
Giving a gift? It comes wrapped and ready to go.
Which means C is also for convenience.
