Hi! I’m Courtney, the designer and seamstress behind Romper Addict. I’m an elementary school teacher, currently a stay at home mama and wife. I have two littles, Ivy & Jack, that help model my creations and test out new designs!
As a small shop owner, my favorite thing is seeing your littles wearing the clothes I’ve made! I enjoy finding and supporting other small shops, you all give me inspiration to keep creating and doing what I love. Each item is handmade by me in my sewing room with love!

Vivi & Kay came to life in 2015 after I created a couple of headbands for my daughters to wear on Easter. I fell in love with the look (as did many friends and family members) and because I was a stay at home mom, I decided this was my opportunity to help out financially!
Our headbands and scrunchies are each made with love and make perfect gifts; birthday, baby shower, bachelorette...you name it. Also check out our Headband Hangers and Scrunchie Towers! Happy shopping!
Xo,
Sadie

Baby Jives & Co started when new mom Jahje Ives couldn’t find the perfect mobile, so she made one. Since 2010 Jahje has been working hard to put a bit of wonder into the world with her art inspired by the magic of childhood. In her designs clouds twinkle in the sky, wings appear on babes, the moon is within reach and anything is possible.⠀
Jahje’s studio just outside Philadelphia, PA is where her designs are born and many of her mobiles are handcrafted by her & her team. What they can’t tackle is made with love by her US based and fair trade partners in India. Together we craft responsibly made items to last for generations.⠀

An architect and a mom of two, Ruth Rau saw toys as a design challenge. Her son's favorite teething toy was recalled for lead paint and she found a startling lack of transparency in the toy industry as she navigated through the fear of that revelation. She did what every self-respecting worry wart mom would do and researched the crap out of the toy industry. What's in our toys, where are they made, are they good for brain development, what do kids really need to thrive. And what she found is that kids need a lot less. Less beeping, less batteries, less guided play. More open ended, more imagination, more confidence that our kids are capable of play and learning without constant adult intervention.

My name is Michelle Solano, and I am the designer and owner of Pretty Collected! Pretty Collected was born from my dream of owning my own business and being my own boss. However, planning my wedding was the true inspiration for this business! So many of the little details I loved about my wedding came from Etsy shops. I was not only thrilled to be supporting small business owners, but I was impressed with all the products I purchased. It was then that I realized I wanted to create and sell my own creations too! I made the decision to set up shop, and there was no turning back!
When you have a passion for creativity and you marry it with being your own boss, you get one happy business owner! What started off as a side job in 2014 quickly turned into a full-time job one year later. I couldn't be happier with this awesome journey!
If I could give one piece of advice to someone interested in opening up their own shop or starting their own business it would be this - don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle. It's sooo easy to feel defeated when you see a competitor's number of products, or amazing instagram account, BUT do remind yourself that they too had to start with nothing to become something!
Thank you for being apart of my journey!

Fancy Free Finery started in my closet-sized "studio", if you could call it that, in my then boyfriend's (now husband) and my first apartment. I have always explored creative media of one kind or another -- I have a degree in Arts Education, am an avid Pinterest explorer, and have a nervous habit of always needing something to do with my hands. One winter day, fighting boredom and seasonal depression, I tore into some leftover scraps of felt, created the first iteration of a felt flower headband, and the rest is history.
Fancy Free Finery has allowed me the flexibility and freedom to quit my preschool teaching job to stay home and tend to my family. I love being able to work in our home, watching my son Felix (age 3) and daughter Ramona (age 1) grow.
As a former preschool teacher, I have always been inspired by the carefree, playful spirit of a child, and have tried to find ways to carry that sense of wonder and open-ended freedom into my life as an entrepreneur. I am lifted up each day through the journey of motherhood, and I feel so privileged to be able to work alongside a village of confident, creative, and inspiring women, and the children they are raising, each day, both in person and through our social platforms.
My village includes a team of women across New England, who thoughtfully and carefully hand-craft each flower, made to be heirloom pieces to cherish as your little one grows.
We invite you to join our community + cultivate relationships with other women as our children grow by following along on our social platforms.

I started making distressed denim in February of 2014 after receiving pants and long overalls for my son from family members. We live in South Florida and it is hot 51 out of 52 weeks of the year, so I began to cut off all of the legs and make him shorts. I started experimenting more and more every day and ended up opening my own shop that same month.

From newborn to mommy + me, and everything in between! Super soft, stretchy lightweight fabric makes these headbands gentle enough for even the tiniest babes. No squeezing, no marks. Perfect for baby’s first headband! They all come in adult sizes, too - so you can match your mini.

We truly think they’ll be your new favorite headbands. While knotted headbands are our best seller, we also have skinny braided headbands, pom pom hair ties and flower hair bows in the shop. They’re perfect for matching big sister and little sister accessories or mommy + me.

I started this business in 2014 as a fundraiser for our family of three (at the time) to adopt a second child through the sale of our goods.

Thankfully, our business grew and we were able to adopt our second child, 11 months after we launched. Now our business focuses on spreading joy through our products!
