Birdy quilts so pretty

May 16, 2011

Officially, we may be past the season of quilts. But in truth, we always need some warmth to hand as the British weather is famous for it’s non-compliance! And besides, these baby quilts are just too delicious to pass up on. Handmade by Got me in Stitches, these quilts are uber-modern with their bold solid colours and large un-fussy graphics. Many are embellished with a bird or two while all are embellished with heaps of style. And when you’re done using it as a kiddy quilt, they’re more than stunning enough to become wall hangings to brighten up any space. To get your hands on these quilts, head to Got Me in Stitches Etsy shop where they cost from $105 plus $15 for shipping.

Natural crayons and paints so beautiful

May 13, 2011

I never thought I would use the word ‘beautiful’ to describe crayons but these ones by Clementine Art are just that.

Apart from their beauty, all of Clementine Arts stuff is natural. Certified non-toxic and environmentally friendly, there are no nasties here. Perfect for your little budding artists then. To get these artist supplies for your little one head to Clementine Art’s site where a set of crayons cost $5.99, the paint set costs $13.99 and the play dough costs $9.99. But if like me you end up lusting after it all, you can get the gift set which includes all their products for $49.99. And it looks as if shipping is free… fab! Nothing excites me more than seeing everyday objects injected with lashings of style and beauty and Clementine Arts have achieved just that.

A birdy bag so sweet!

May 12, 2011

Elephants have long been a hot favourite around here. They just work so well on kiddy stuff. But recently I’ve been feeling the love for birdies too. I’ve been finding some super lovely stuff embellished with birds and this school bag is no exception. It’s so sweet! The teeny tiny polka dots, the little delicate bird and the bold orange straps make for a bag so wantable. Which little girl isn’t gonna want this? Or for that matter, which big girl too. This sweet bag is by the French Mimi’Lou who create some delicate looking delectables from wall stickers to stationary and more. This bird school bag by Mimi’lou costs €45 and they deliver to most of Europe.

P.S. While it’s the bird that I’ve featured here, there’s also an equally delectable rabbit one for the boys.

Meet the Potato Queen and her subjects

May 10, 2011

Potato queen. There’s a term I never thought I would come across. But I have, in the form of these quirky wall stickers by the French Genvieve Gauckler. I’m already a huge fan of wall stickers for kiddy spaces and these are up there with the most fun of the lot. ‘Funny,cheerful, surprising and full of joy’ is how Genvieve describes her world and these stickers are exactly that. The minute I spotted them, I smiled from ear to ear. The simple black silhouettes in the shape of the wierdest characters is immediately playful and perfect for a kiddy space. And the Potato Queen herself, well I love her trainers and tiara combo! The set of stickers measures 160 x 150 cms and you can get it over at Domestic where they cost 33 Euros.

May 9, 2011

I’m a huge fan of the cool Spanish label, Bobo Choses. And just like everything they touch, this toy storage basket is up there in the style stakes. The bold red, blue and yellow embroidery against the straw would add a splash of cool to any nursery or play space. Heck, it’s so fab, I would even allow it in to an adult space! If you’re looking for toy storage with a difference then this basket has to be it. You could even hang it to liven up your nursery walls. To get this oh so covetable toy storage basket, head to Coverture and the Garbstore where it costs £49 plus £5.50 delivery.

Meet the quirky Rosie and Berty

May 5, 2011

I have long been a fan of Donna Wilson. Her sense of design peppered with a dash of eclectic, results in creations so quirky and cool. And of all her unique creations, I’ve always been particularly fascinated by her creatures or soft toys. What characters they are, each wonderfully weird with their unusual shapes and exaggerated features. Today I’m lusting after the birdies, Rosie and Berty to be specific. They’re large, measuring 60cms not including their long, dangly legs. I’m loving the idea of placing one of these in a nursery space to add some unexpected quirky style. Head on over to Donna Wilson’s web space where you’ll find these birdies for £40.50 a piece with delivery at £4. While you’re there, don’t miss Peeping Tom and Edd Red Head. They definitely won’t disappoint!

A tea set so charming!

May 3, 2011

I’ve been on a mission to find a tea set for ebabee no.1. She seems to have developed a penchant for pouring tea and sipping it in her little pretend world. So, I began the search and soon hit the (tea set) jackpot when i found this stunner by Vilac. This Nathalie Tea party set has got bags of charm and is just so pretty in a kitschy-cool way. I’m loving the colours, the flowers, the retro vibe and even the little carry case it comes in. So girly, so sweet. Made of metal, it reminds me of the way toys used to be… no plastic in sight, just the way I like it. The Vilac Nathalie Tea Party Set costs £25.43 from Amazon and delivery’s free. I’m off to order mine and am pleased as punch to say tea set mission: accomplished!

A baby play mat with bags of style

May 2, 2011

The glorious sunshine yellow with the simple wooden arches and colourful hanging toys, make for a baby play mat so stylish, it hurts! If only I’d known about this when I was in the play mat market (boo hoo). Made by an Italian toy company called Il Leccio, this baby play mat is super sleek but has everything a bambino would need to keep themselves entertained. And they say it can be put together and taken apart in a few minutes. But then again, this is one I would happily leave in full view… I’m thinking it’ll attract an admiring (even envious) glance or two! You can get your hands on this play mat form Il Leccio where it costs €50.90 plus €16 shipping to the UK.
