</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Dear Fellow Crown Crafts Stockholder:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Crown Crafts, Inc., to be held on August&nbsp;14, 2007, is an
important opportunity for you to cast your vote in support of your Board of Directors and their
role in the Company&#146;s successes that have contributed to the long-term value of your investment.
Your Board of Directors has nominated for re-election myself and two other highly qualified
candidates &#150; William T. Deyo, Jr. and Steven E. Fox &#150; and we each share a deep commitment to
serving your best interests.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
you may be aware, a New York-based investment fund, Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P.,
and certain of its offshore and U.S. affiliates (together, Wynnefield or the Wynnefield
Group) have proposed a slate of two director nominees in opposition to two incumbent directors
nominated by your Board &#150; Messrs.&nbsp;Deyo and Fox. We firmly believe the Wynnefield Group&#146;s
initiation of this costly and disruptive proxy contest is not in your best interests.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Your Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares </B><U><B>FOR</B></U><B> the Company&#146;s nominees
by signing, dating and returning the enclosed </B><U><B>WHITE</B></U><B> proxy card today. </B>We urge you to
discard and not return any gold proxy card you may receive from the Wynnefield Group.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Wynnefield Group has proposed a slate of director nominees consisting of Nelson Obus, a
Wynnefield principal, and his close business associate, Frederick G. Wasserman. We do not believe that either of these
individuals is right for Crown Crafts or possesses the necessary qualifications to effectively
serve on your Board of Directors.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Obus, along with other members of the Wynnefield Group and another Wynnefield employee, is a
named defendant in an ongoing suit brought by the SEC in federal court for insider trading. In its
amended complaint, filed only last month, the SEC charges that Obus and the other defendants
&#147;knowingly or recklessly engaged in acts that violated the federal securities law,&#148; &#147;engaged in
acts, practices or courses of business that have operated . . . as a fraud and deceit upon other
persons&#148; and breached their fiduciary duties of trust and
confidence. The Wynnefield Group&#146;s proxy materials make only
passing reference to these charges, doing little more than
&#147;emphatically&#148; denying them. What they don&#146;t tell you,
however, is that the SEC is
demanding that Obus and the other defendants pay back their &#147;ill-gotten gains&#148; of more than $1.3
million and pay a civil money penalty and that Obus be barred from acting as an
officer or director of any public company.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Why would any company put Obus on its board? Does this sound like
someone who is fully committed, as is your Board, to the highest ethical standards, principles of
fair dealing and strict compliance with the law?</I>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In November&nbsp;2005, at the request of Wynnefield, we agreed
to permit Wasserman to participate in all meetings of the Board as a non-voting observer. We
terminated this observer right at the end of last month when Wynnefield launched its proxy contest.
By that time, Wasserman had fully demonstrated that he was simply a mouthpiece for Wynnefield,
rather than someone who, as the Wynnefield Group suggests of its nominees, would bring fresh
thinking to the Board on behalf of the Company&#146;s stockholders. The Wynnefield Group&#146;s proxy
materials tout Wasserman&#146;s service on the boards of other public companies. However, those
materials fail to state that Wynnefield is a substantial stockholder in each of those other
companies, that Wasserman is serving at the behest of Wynnefield or that Wasserman has not served
on any of these boards for more than nine months.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wasserman&#146;s nomination to your Board clearly reflects the Wynnefield Group&#146;s hand-picking of
an individual with established business relationships with Wynnefield. Again, given the storm of
SEC allegations that surrounds Obus and the Wynnefield Group today, it is inconceivable that any
company would want one of their close business associates on its board.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B><I>Wynnefield offers only a short-sighted, self-serving agenda.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Wynnefield Group&#146;s short-sighted, self-serving agenda is reflected in its proxy materials
and past actions. While your Board is proud of its recent accomplishments and excited about the
future of the Company, the Wynnefield Group is demanding seats on your Board of Directors in order
to press for the hiring of an investment banker to pursue a sale of the Company without regard to
building long-term stockholder value. Unlike your independent Board, the Wynnefield Group is
responsible only to its unnamed and undisclosed backers and has neither allegiance nor
responsibility to you or your fellow Crown Crafts stockholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Wynnefield Group has demanded similar action of the Company in the past. In 2004, at the
request of Wynnefield, the Company hired an investment banker to evaluate the repurchase of the
warrants previously held by the Company&#146;s lenders. Crown Crafts terminated that relationship when
it became clear that any transaction would cost the Company in excess of $4.5&nbsp;million, including
investment banker fees. Ultimately, the Company, without hiring and paying an investment banker,
successfully negotiated a refinancing of the Company&#146;s debt in 2006 that resulted in the full
cancellation of the lender warrants.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In addition, if either of Wynnefield&#146;s nominees is elected to
the Board, the Wynnefield Group&#146;s proxy materials state that Wynnefield intends to seek
reimbursement from the Company for its proxy solicitation expenses, which Wynnefield estimates will
be $325,000 (of which approximately $150,000 has already been spent) without submitting the question of
reimbursement of those expenses to a vote of the Company&#146;s stockholders. This action further underscores the
self-serving nature of Wynnefield&#146;s agenda.</I>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When current management took the Company&#146;s reins in 2001, Crown Crafts was burdened by
excessive debt and the overhang of warrants that, on exercise, would
have resulted in the Company&#146;s lenders
owning 65% of our outstanding shares. Although this severely hindered the Company&#146;s ability
to grow, management and your Board focused on other initiatives within its control, including
restructuring the Company&#146;s operations to cut costs and increase efficiencies. <B>Under the
leadership of your Board, the Company has delivered six consecutive years of profitability</B>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your Board and management also led the charge to aggressively pay down the Company&#146;s debt. In
July&nbsp;2006, the Company refinanced its debt facilities, beginning
a new relationship with The CIT Group. This
refinancing represented a monumental success for Crown Crafts. What had been $48&nbsp;million in debt
in July&nbsp;2001 was reduced to $5.8&nbsp;million as of
April&nbsp;1, 2007, and the warrants held by the Company&#146;s
former lenders were fully extinguished, all without the extraordinary cost to the Company that
would have been commanded by an investment banker. Indeed, had we hired the investment banker
recommended to us by Wynnefield, we would have had to pay that banker a fee of more than $1.25
million in connection with the refinancing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The July&nbsp;2006 debt and capital restructuring has resulted in a Crown Crafts that is more
nimble and poised for growth. The Company&#146;s history is one of growth through successful
acquisitions, but the Company&#146;s past lender relationship and
debt position did not permit us to make any acquisitions. Now, with the support of CIT, the Board is actively pursuing strategic
acquisitions that will build long-term stockholder value.

Quite simply, the Wynnefield Group&#146;s push for a sale of Crown Crafts now is ill-timed and
reflects Wynnefield&#146;s lack of understanding of our Company. This is not the time to disrupt our

Your Board is comprised of respected business leaders with extensive professional experience

You are fortunate to have a Board who understands and is willing to shoulder the time
commitment necessary to effectively fulfill its responsibilities. Your Board has a sense of common
purpose and the energy, industry knowledge, business sense, character and integrity that you would
want in your leadership. Wynnefield&#146;s suggestion that its nominees be added to the Board to &#147;build
stockholder value&#148; and that they alone &#150; not the Board &#150; are capable of doing this is an
unwarranted and misguided attack on the highly qualified, dedicated and experienced members of your
Board.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Further evidencing its commitment to the Company&#146;s stockholders, the Board has authorized a $6
million share repurchase program. Although the Wynnefield Group
suggests in its proxy
materials that this action may have been taken by the Board following the announcement of
Wynnefield&#146;s nominees in an attempt by the Board to win your favor, the features of the repurchase program were all but finalized
prior to Wynnefield&#146;s announcement, as Wynnefield must know from
Wasserman, who was actively involved in all Board deliberations
concerning the buyback.

Don&#146;t be misled by the self-serving rhetoric of the Wynnefield Group. One of its nominees is
a Wynnefield principal surrounded by a cloud of SEC litigation and the other is a close business
associate. In our experience, its nominees bring nothing to the table but their dedication to
Wynnefield&#146;s agenda and the problematic balance they must strike between their fiduciary duties to
you, a Crown Crafts stockholder, and their loyalties and obligations to the Wynnefield Group, its
investors and its desire to see a quick sale of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is not about Wynnefield having a voice. With its
designee &#151; Wasserman &#151; in the Board room the past 18&nbsp;months, Wynnefield has had a voice. We remain committed to an ongoing
dialogue with Wynnefield and all other stockholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is not about corporate governance practices. All members of your Board, other than
myself, are independent. And to further reinforce our commitment to best practices, at its next
meeting the Board intends to designate an independent &#147;lead director&#148; to aid the Board in assuring
effective corporate governance in managing the affairs of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In its proxy materials, the Wynnefield Group criticizes the Company&#146;s staggered
board structure, asserting that it diminishes a director&#146;s
accountability to Crown Crafts stockholders. This assertion is
unfounded. Board members are
subject to the same fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders without regard to the
length of their term of service or the frequency of their standing for re-election. Moreover, a
staggered board means that the majority of your Board at any given time will have experience in the
Company&#146;s business and affairs, promoting continuity and stability of the Company&#146;s business
strategies and policies.
