(grandma chol's crocheted hats)


Misha Lulu is a family owned and operated fashion brand founded by Karen and Joe Salazar. Their darling Bela is the biggest inspiration behind all they do. This fashion forward, hip clothing line is full of whimsical detail and funk in every piece. Karen, the mastermind behind it all, really goes to great lengths to ensure the quality and uniqueness of every item.

This little brand is truly so special as it is a family effort and everyone takes part in a little creating. Karen's mother, Grandma Blanquita, hand paints vintage inspired images on the aprons, and Joe's mother, Grandma Chol, crochets all the fun hats. Even little Bela has a say in the type of clothing she wants to see in Misha Lulu each season! Also, I have the privilege of knowing Karen personally and I can attest to how much love and attention she dedicates to her creativity and building a line that is so much full of love and personality.

For Cakies readers, Misha Lulu is doing a fantastic giveaway. I will be picking two winners, that's right... two!!! One winner will receive the Misha Lulu bow dress (any size from 3 months- 8yrs.) and a Grandma Chol crocheted hat and the other winner will receive 2 boy Misha Lulu tees (any size from 2T-8). Examples of what will be given can be seen in the pictures above.

All you need to do is a leave a comment with the following information:
1. If you are entering to win an item for a boy or girl (or could be both).
2. Your favorite post from the Misha Lulu blog. Karen always finds the greatest shops, artists, and designers, so I am sure you will learn something new as I always do!

The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Wednesday, October 21st and the winner will be announced on this post on Thursday. Good luck!!! Thanks so much Misha Lulu!!!

    Hi

    I have a son and a daughter so either one of these goodies would be gratefully received.

    My favourite post is the Happy Earth Day post, April 22nd. The artwork is gorgeous and retro and girly and reminds me of Holly Hobby and cute stuff from my own childhood (many moons ago!)

  46. gabriellaOctober 20, 2009 at 6:15 PM

    i would like to be in the running for my daughter lyla. my favorite post thus far is The Berlin Reunion. it was such a breathtaking exhibition of the narration of the Berlin Wall. the marionettes took me back to my childhood vacations in italy with my family as they always do and the massive sizes were incredible. what a fantastic artistic abstract way to represent the fall of the wall and the unity of the germans! also reminded me of my backpacking trip to europe after my college grad. with my best friend, oh so beautiful Berlin!

  47. ReneeOctober 20, 2009 at 7:21 PM

    I have a granddaughter and grandson so either would be great.
