Hand Picked Pumpkin

Allison Case began Hand Picked Pumpkin with two things in mind - utmost comfort and some fashion standards. She wanted cute knit pants for her wee one, Pierson, that wouldn't constrict his movement while learning to crawl and walk. In her quest, she developed a modern line of limited-edition and custom baby clothing. The customization is an easy three-step process. You simply pick the garment you'd like, choosing from various signature outfits, bottoms, and more. Then, choose the appropriate size. The third step, customizing, is where the fun comes in. If you aren't feeling very creative & prefer to purchase ready-made pieces, Hand Picked Pumpkin offers those as well. Check out the Hand Picked Pumpkin blog, Notions, for information regarding sales & more.
