Small Businesses I Love: Four Little Sparrows

It’s Small Business Saturday and I’m featuring a few small businesses I love today!

Four Little Sparrows is a small business that offers custom-made headbands and bows. Kierstyn has a set of headbands from them and they are very high-quality, they stay put so well on her head, AND they don’t pinch or make red marks in her head.

Shown above is the set of Four Little Sparrows bows that Kierstyn has. I love it so much! They also offer custom name print bows, hair clips, and more!

To order, head over to their Instagram page or their Facebook page and message them with what you’d like to order. These would make such great baby gift ideas or stocking stuffers!
