Halloween Duck Costume

Rub-a-dub-dub, a duck in a thrifted tub! I love that Avery will know that her mom made her costume with love and care!

Halloween Boo Basket

Everyone says babies won't remember their first Halloween... but I will. Making the viral boo basket intentional but still fun!

The Pumpkin Tradition

Starting a new tradition is always special. 🎃🧡 Now I'll have Avery's tiny handprints and footprints from every Halloween to look back on as she grows.

"Bum"kin Decor

Avery may be horrified one day that I put her little bum on a pumpkin, but isn't that part of our job as parents? 🎃😂 Scaring our kids, one Halloween memory at a time.


About Avery's Little Wonderland

Hi, I’m Hayley! After welcoming my daughter Avery in March 2026, I left my corporate job to become a stay-at-home mom and began searching for creative ways to help support our family while building the magical childhood I dreamed of for her. My husband and I started thrifting and selling on Whatnot, hunting for treasures like Little People, children’s books, and nostalgic finds, and before long it became a hobby. As a lifelong crafter and DIY lover, I’ve used those profits to create imaginative experiences, projects, and memories for Avery. While I believe learning and development are important, I also think there’s something special about nostalgia, creativity, wonder, and simply letting kids be kids. Through this page, I’ll be sharing our thrift finds, DIY adventures, magical childhood moments, and everything we’re creating along the way. We hope you’ll follow our journey on TikTok, Pinterest, and Whatnot! ✨💕
