Hats4Kids

Photos by Paradis Found Designs

I found these darling baby hats when we dropped by the Bryant Park Fêtes de Noël market last evening. Handmade from vintage chenille blankets by Dana Paradis in New York City, these hats are one of a kind and can be made to order. You can check them out, alongside some equally adorable kids’ clothing, in person at Bryant Park till Sunday, Dec. 31, near the giant Christmas tree, or by visiting Paradis’ Manhattan studio (by appointment only). The photos here really don’t do the hats justice. (From $34, Hats4Kids)

Another eco-friendly shop we found at the park (besides the myriad natural soap purveyors): The Long Island Candle Factory, which sells hand-poured aromatherapy candles made with soy wax and 100 percent cotton wicks.
