etsy scout: mi cielo

faith from sugarcane tipped me off on mi cielo's playful onesies, and the honolulu line's adorable appliqués made it a shoo-in for today's etsy find. a few months into new mommyhood, kayo, mi cielo's crafty creator, soon tired of her baby boy's basic onesies and lap tees and began hand stitching felted flair to add a bit of variety to his wardrobe.

naptime sewing sessions eventually resulted in stacks of embellished togs, and, at the behest of her hubby, kayo decided to offer mi cielo to a wider audience who would appreciate the giggly happiness of childhood that her designs capture so delightfully.

inspired by her new(ish) island home, kayo recently added a hawaii collection to the line-up, and offers the option to personalize designs for your favorite little one. all of mi cielo's creatures can be ordered on onesies as well as tees for toddlers and even grown-ups, and organic alternatives are currently being explored for parents who prefer pesticide-free cotton next to their little one's tender skin.

click over to the etsy shop to take a peek, however take note that designs are made to order with an estimated 10 day turnaround time (prior to shipping). oahu peeps can also find mi cielo at sugarcane in kaimuki and baby awearness in manoa.
