Christmas in July - Baby Elf's First Christmas with our elf loope lid


Christmas in July is one of my favorite times of the year. When the weather finally turns warm in New England, warm enough to pack away the fleece pullover, there is always the smallest reminder that Christmas is just six months away.
Today when I was gathering the recyclables from the basement stairway I noticed some forgotten Christmas decorations that were stashed between the studs of the wall instead of brought all the way down to the "Christmas Shelves". For an instant it brought me to our family cutting down our tree at Walkers Tree Farm in Madbury, New Hampshire, the cinnamon candle from Yankee Candle burning in the kitchen, and the smell of the kitchen when I bake my childhood favorite recipe, cream cheese press cookies. Most of all it reminded me of the wonderful gift Jane Cowen-Fletcher gave The Little Hat Company by including one of our loope lids on her front cover of her new baby board book, Baby Elf's First Christmas.
Last Christmas without even trying very hard we sold over $1200 worth of elf lids in just four weeks. All of the elf lids were made by adults in the confines of South Berwick, Maine. We are even more fortunate this year to sell the combined book and lid for all sizes in the gift section of our website - Gift Sets Jane Cowen-Fletcher is an amazing author from South Berwick, Maine and combined with our elf loope lid manufactured by stay at home moms in South Berwick, Maine equals a little bit of its own magic.
Don't forget to visit The Little Hat Company for other great Yankee Gift Sets for all occasions.
Happy Holidays and Hold on to the Summer, Christmas is Just Around the Corner!
