Is spring in the air? Darn it, no. Not yet.

Because we've been hibernating from the snow in New York every other day lately, I've taken to peeking at the spring clothes for children that are starting to appear in our favorite shops. And after seeing the yummy handmade girls dresses at CMP fave Louise Hedley's new etsy shop, Sohokids, I'm doubly excited to see my little girls' bare knees outside again.

Because every handmade piece at Sohokids is one of a kind, grab something now if you love it. The beautiful Vera dress made from vintage cotton makes me wish we were in 6T these days, and the vintage Marimekko fabric skirt is bound to overjoy any toddler who loves to twirl. And really, isn't that all of them?

Find beautiful girls' skirts and dresses at Sohokids, where US shipping is currently free!
