McKinley Rose Boutique Custom Knitted Hats

McKinley Rose Boutique is a handmade shop by Lisa Borders. There's a selection of items such as tutus, tutu dresses, bows + hair clips, knitted + crocheted hats, blankets + diaper covers.

I actually won the Bear Hat that my little girl is wearing. We chose to have the ears light pink rather than a light brown (as shown in her facebook page photos) for the additional girly look. My son was very specific about what he wanted. We had viewed photos of some of the previous hats that Lisa had made. He said he didn't want those but wanted a red dinosaur hat with spikes. So we sent over an email asking if she did custom orders and to explain what we were looking for. Lisa was excited to give it a go. She is very easy to work with in helping to choose colors and sizing.

These came just in time as the chill has hit here just recently. Both my kidlets love their hats! They are very well made and the sizing was perfect. My daughter still says "aww!" every time we pull it out for her to wear before going outdoors. And my son seems to be planning his next creation, "it needs a tail now..."!

10% of all sales from McKinley Rose Boutique is donated to SHARE. "The mission of Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support, Inc. is to serve those whose lives are touched by tragic death of a baby through early pregnancy loss, stillbirth or in the first few months of life."

From McKinley Rose Boutique:
On December 5, 2009 sweet Mckinley Rose was born. I had the honor of photographing her for her newborn session and instantly fell in love! This girl snuggled into my arms and I didn't want to put her down! Such a beautiful baby and so content throughout her entire session!

On March 24, 2010 I found out from my former photography partner that McKinley Rose had passed away. She has a very special place in my heart. I talked to her mama late 2010 and asked if I could open a shop and give it McKinley's beautiful name. She agreed!

So, here we are now and I have to tell you it is a blessing to be able to do this! 10% of all sales will be donated to SHARE { http://www.nationalshare.org } in memory of McKinley! Thank you for helping to keep her memory alive and for your contribution towards helping other families facing such a loss.

Visit McKinley Rose Boutique on Facebook + view her works in the photo albums. Stay tuned for a hairbow giveaway from McKinley Rose Boutique that we'll be hosting soon!
