Heather started Little Peanut Baby in 2015 when her oldest was 6 months old. She wanted to do something creative with her time at home and found herself making little items because who doesn’t love dressing up a little baby girl in all things sparkly?! Slowly but surely the business grew into more than just fabric bows.  Glitter and felt bows were added along with flower headbands and flower crowns.

Featured Gift Suggestion: West Virginia state skirt and matching bow. The bows and skirts are great to wear year-round to show off your Mountaineer pride!!
