"Colourful Nursery wall art"

When I spotted these nursery wall prints from Down Under I felt crazy giddy with desire.  What a feast for my little eyes that very nearly popped out of my little head.  The bold colour combo’s,  the animals, the shapes all together create art that is so, so pleasing to look at.  And these delights aren’t just for nursery walls, they’re spot on for kids of all ages and big kids like us too.  I love a find that has no age boundries.  The creators of these pieces are a boy-girl duo called Kristina Sostarko and Jason Odd.  And what a talented duo they are.  To get this gorgeousness for your walls head to their shop called Inaluxe.  Most of the prints cost AUD 33 and shipping to the UK is at a very fair and flat rate of AUD 9.50.  If not for yourself, gift it to an expectant mama and watch your gift stand way-out from the crowd.

"Ruby and Ginger Nappy Wallet"Nappy wallets and travel change mats.  We need’em but gawd, they can be sleep-inducingly dull.  Not this one, oh no… this one’s gonna make you the envy of the baby changing rooms.  Whip it out of your handbag and watch the other mama’s go green.  These travel changing sets are by Ruby & Ginger, two creative mama’s hot on style without a massive price tag (we love’m already!).  The set includes a nappy wallet, a change mat and a wipes case and all this for £15.  Head on over to Ruby and Gingers to get yourself some sizzlin’ style.  And keep your eyes peeled for the new stuff they keep adding to their delicious range.

"Vintage school table and chairs"

"Vintage school desk and chair"When I spotted this mini vintage play school table and chairs I could’ve cartwheeled my way to New York… I wanted it so bad!  It’s made by Restoration Hardware, a hot US store that sadly hasn’t graced our European shores.  This vintage kids school table has a strong industrial vibe which only adds to it’s drool factor.  I can see it working a treat especially in a large open play space.  My lovely US readers can head to Restoration Hardware and get their hands on the table for $449 and the chairs are $189 for a set of 2.  My European readers, admire from afar and weep… I weep with you.

 

"Nursery decoration hanging ornaments"I was flitting about Etsy when I spotted these little house hanging decorations.  I stopped flitting and had a closer look.  I wasn’t disappointed; these little soft house ornaments are just the sweetest things ever!  My head started whirring with nursery decoration ideas… the possibilities are many, many, many.  You could make your own mobile with these houses, hang them in a frame, hang them from the ceiling, adorn bookshelves or hang from wardrobe handles.  I’m sure all you creative mama’s out there can come up with even more exciting ways to use these sweet little houses.  These hanging nursery decorations come as a set of 10 from Syko’s Shop on Etsy.  The set of 10 costs €65 plus €8 delivery.

"Birds of Feather melamine plates"

The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray… as the song goes.  It’s true, the sun has finally decided to grace our shores.  And that can only mean lots of barbecues, picnics and al-fresco eating galore.  So, I’ve been on the hunt for some melamine plates.  My search ended when I found these Birds of Feather plates.  How wonderful are they?  They’re almost too good to eat from… almost!  The rich colours and the beautiful images inspired by the outdoors combine to create true stunners.  These Birds of Feather melamine plates are by Pocketo and cost $40 for a set of 4 and they offer worldwide shipping.  Pocketo is a hot US based design shop with the philosophy ‘art for your everyday’, and I for one subscribe whole heartedly to this philosophy.

Pocketo first discovered through Covet Garden

Hello yellow shoes

July 1, 2011

"Angulus yellow shoes"Yellow shoes, not something I’d don myself but for the kiddies they’re the best.  Boy or girl, baby or toddler, yellow shoes are pretty darn cool.  So when I spotted these ones I had to share.  Made by Angulus, these shoes are another fine example of Danish design.  You can buy them over at Sparkle & Spin, a cool web store filled with Scandi designed goodies for the kids.  The shoes cost £55 and delivery’s £4.95.  Just looking at these happy, yellow shoes has brightened my day!
