Bird Is the Word

hoot organic baby hats!

Your little one has eyes like a hawk (when it comes to spotting sweets) and a voice like a sparrow (unless you ask the neighbors).

But Suzy Fairchild is as wise as an owl: The local mom and owner of Frock Shop designed and developed adorable new Hoot Organic baby hats.

The unique noggin warmers keep ears protected from chilly temps, have sun visors to block bright rays, and stay put with breakaway chin straps. A variety of organic cotton prints — cutesy giraffes, funky cars, nautical red stripes — will please even the pickiest moms and babes.

So everyone can join the flock.


Available at Frock Shop, 6500 Phinney Avenue North (206-297-1638 or shopfrockshop.com); online at hootorganic.com.
