While surfing on the weekend, I discovered a little gem of a shop. A beautiful little site packed with the most beautiful little things for the home and garden (I’m talking serious pulse racing kind’a beauty here). On offer are lots of lovelies including the most wonderful wooden toys that take me back in time. Simple and stylish, they’re all made of natural wood that hasn’t been painted or coloured in anyway. There’s a range of animals including elephants, caterpillars, mice and more. Some are push alongs, some are not but all are oh so pure and innocent looking. Then there’s some deliciously simple stuff for the home including storage ideas, cookware and so much more. But I’ll leave you mama’s to discover these bits.
The store I speak of is Baileys Home and Garden and their philosophy is to rescue and recycle unloved stuff by giving it a new use but always with good design in mind. And lordy, do they do this oh so well! The wooden animals cost from £3.50 and you’ll have to phone or email to place your order. Baileys Home and Garden is seriously hot, so go have a look.
P.S. If you’re in or around the Ross-on-Wye area, lucky you! Check out their tin Tabernacle Tearoom… doesn’t it make you want to visit now?

Amazing beautiful toys. Brilliant blog as usual. You should be an art director. Great eye for beautiful things for children.
Honestmum – thanks for your lovely words. I’m blushing! You too are very talented with a fab blog.
