Introducing . . .

OUR NEW CAR SEAT CANOPY!!!
I just got our custom car seat canopy in the mail today and love it! I ordered it through a business called PoppySnaps. They were so great to work with! I had a pretty good idea in my head of what I wanted and they were so patient with me as we worked together to find just the right look.

As I think I mentioned before, I am really into green and brown right now, so those were the colors I wanted. In looking at fabrics I decided I wanted either a paisley or an argyle. This was the winning fabric.
And check out these adorable GIANT buttons! That was another specific request I had.
I love the car seat canopies because, unlike just a blanket draped over the top, they leave the handle exposed for easy carrying. They also are secured nicely in place. If you want a cute canopy of your own (this is totally unsolicited by the way) check out the PoppySnaps blog or their Etsy Shop. They have lots of items already made or you can put in a custom order like I did. They also have tons of other cute stuff!

I can't wait for our little guy to chill safe and sound under his new car seat canopy!

It's very cute! And I am an argyle and pasley kind of gal too. My shoes are argyle and my bed is pasley. Funny. Anyway, I love it! It's stylin'!

That was kind of mean. I got really excited for a minute there! The carseat canopy is cute, but not what I was hoping to see. I can't wait to see him!!
