Pretty wooden alaphabet blocks and more

January 31, 2012

I was searching for wooden alphabet blocks on etsy when one particular set caught my eye. I clicked and was taken to a shop filled with beautiful illustrations not just on blocks but on wall prints and little books too. I loved what I saw so ditched my previous post idea and decided to make today all about the British illustrator Julia Staite. I do love etsy for the unique talent it’s filled with and Julia’s work is the perfect example. Her illustrations are so pretty! There’s lots of colour, some whimsical characters, quirky drawings and above all it’s fun. The blocks are great for play but they’d also make lovely decorations for a nursery and Julia also offers personalised wooden alphabet blocks so you can have your babies name spelled out. I’m very keen on the circus themed prints too which would work equally well in a toddler, kiddy or nursery space. You can find all this and more over at Julia Staite’s shop.

5 fabulous cushions (or pillows) for kids

January 26, 2012

I’m a big fan of having lots and lots of cushions strewn around the living room and bedroom. I’ve been looking to do the same for the bambino’s bedroom and have been on the hunt for some cool kids cushions. I haven’t decided on my favourite yet but I’ve found 5 that I love:

1. Donna Wilson is pure British and pure cool. I love this tree cushion for it’s quirkiness and unique style.

2. This can only be described as the ‘apple’ of my eye (sorry)!! By Oeuf NYC, this apple cushion looks good enough to eat.

3. French and fabulous is this sweet bow cushion by Le Petite Luce and it’s from Little Fashion Gallery

4. There are loads of lovely cloud cushions around but this one by Blabla Kids tops my list. I just adore the cute little bird detail.

5. Ever since I discovered Colette Bream I was smitten by her goodies and this house shaped cushion is a part of her wonderful collection.

A boat mobile so lovely!

January 19, 2012

I love mobiles. I’m almost tempted to have another baby just so I can buy more mobiles (almost!). When I discovered this new one from the fabulous little boutique called Petits Parisiens I couldn’t wait to share. I love the boutique and everything in it and this boat mobile is their latest gorgeous addition. The little boats are made of bright printed fabrics that come in 2 colour schemes – one for the boys and one for the girls. But I think either can work for boy or girl. To check out this boat mobile and all the other goodies on offer, head to Petits Parisiens. If you’re as mobile mad as me, don’t miss these whimiscal mice mobiles and these seriously stunning bird mobiles.

Stunning: Crochet toys and blankets from Argentina

January 13, 2012

When I saw these crochet toys, I was besotted. Admittedly I’m a bit of a crochet junkie but these toys and crochet blankets are possibly the most beautiful ones I’ve ever come across. They’re made in sunny Argentina by a mama who clearly has lots and lots of talent, imagination and creativity. I’m loving the lion rattle with his gorgeous little crochet bed and blanket. The elephant toy is lovely too as are the blankets. In fact it’s all quite stunning! I’m also loving the colours… mostly soft tones but sometimes complimented with a hint of colour. I could go on and on but I’ll leave you to discover the rest at Miga de Pan. There doesn’t seem to be a shop yet but you can email the mama in question if you’d like to buy. I’m so, so tempted!

P.S. Have you seen these crochet fish bones?

Superfly Lullabies: funky & fun baby blankets

January 11, 2012

Cutesy, frilly baby stuff just doesn’t cut it for me so when I read words like ‘adult-friendly baby items’ my interest is immediately peaked. That’s what I read about Superfly Lullabies and I had to check out their stuff. I found some very cool baby blankets, pillows and bibs. All the goodies are made from bold and bright fabrics sourced from hot design hubs like Japan, Scandinavia and USA and are then handcrafted in to funky and fun blankets, bibs and more. I’m loving the modern Matryoshka blanket which also doubles up as a baby playmat as do all the blankets. The bold red and white polka dotted print is another of my favourites. Superfly Lullabies was started by Julie, a mama who believes baby stuff should be refined and stylish, not fussy and frilly… just my kind of mama. To check out her collection visit Superfly Lullabies where you’ll find her shop too.

Nursery style: Chic minimalism from Scandinavia

January 6, 2012

Black and white may not be the most obvious choice of colours for a nursery but when I saw this one, I thought it looked fantastic. Very chic, very minimal but not cold in any way. I love the abundance of white that has been brought to life with careful touches of black and hints of yellow and natural wood. This black and white nursery is the creation of Susanna Vento who is an interior designer from Finland. But it’s not just the colours that are getting me excited, it’s all the furniture and the little details too. I’m loving the Baltic rocking horse, the hanging storage basket and the garland with the hanging onesies. I’m a huge fan of Scandinavian style for a reason and this nursery is the perfect example of how they just get it!

Nursery style: 4 fabulous floor cushions

January 5, 2012

I love floor cushions for a kids room or a play space. Kids love sitting on or near the floor and the cushions or soft seats look great too. I’ve been seeking out some truly lovely ones and these are my top 4 finds:

1. Love these elephant poufs by the fabulous Serena & Lily. They come in 3 colours and while they’re all lovely, I’m very partial to the olive green and teal coloured one.

2. Lale is one of my favourite brands for girly stuff. I’ve had my eye on this beanbag for eons now and I’m seriously tempted to get one for my bambino. I love the fabric, I love the colours and I love the girly-ness of it. You can get them at Little Fashion Gallery

3. These gorgeous, stripy, knitted pebble shaped floor cushions are by Blabla Kids. Made of natural fibres and hand knitted in Peru, they’re super stylish too and would compliment an adult space just as much a kiddy one.

4. Last are these bold and bright round floor cushions by Muskhane who make the most beautiful products in felt. These cushions are fun and playful and perfect to add a splash of colour to a kiddy space.

Jane Foster: Cool soft toys with a retro vibe

January 4, 2012

I’ve had my eye on Jane Foster’s goodies for a while now. When I first spotted her wares dotted around a kiddy room on Ohdeedoh I liked what I saw – bright, bold, happy designs with a strong retro vibe that will appeal to mama’s and kids alike. Jane is a Devon based mama of one who has a love for style from the 50’s and 60’s and this shows through in her work. She makes soft toys, kids room art and some homewares too. I’m loving the handmade softies especially the alphabet dachshund and the love cats. Soft toys they may be but they’re equally cool decorative pillows too. You can visit Jane Foster Designs to check out the entire collection.

Nursery style: Simple & stunning storage ideas

December 9, 2011

Since I started writing this blog, I’ve come across so many beautiful nurseries and kids rooms. Each one is unique, individual and has been designed by the mama (or papa) in question with bags of creativity and love. So I thought I would start sharing some of my lovely finds. Today I’ve picked 3 simple nursery storage ideas that I love. These 3 ideas are for small storage and show how, with a little imagination, you can make a real feature of stuff that you would probably otherwise have to find a storage space for:

1. Inexpensive wire planters hung on a wall to store and display soft toys. It looks amazing, the toys can be seen and it adds real style to the room. This is the creation of a Texan mama called James (yes, a mama – see her blog for an explanation) who blogs at Blue Bird Vintage.

2. Vintage suitcases look super cool, you can often pick them up for pennies at a flea market and they make very useful storage boxes. I love how they’ve been used to keep the babies books tidy and besides looking chic, the books are easy to reach for little kids. This is part of a delightful room created by an Aussie mama who blogs at One Claire Day.*

3. Instead of a chunky wardrobe this is a wonderful and stylish way to store clothes. They look stunning hung on this rustic, minimal, eco-friendly hanger. Perfect for when space is tight but I would choose this even otherwise as it’s such a great feature for a room. I found this at a blog called French by Design.

Colour love: Blue

December 5, 2011

If you’re a regular here, you’ll know that I’m not a blue for boy and pink for girl type of mama. Blue can be just as much for girls as it can be for boys. So with that in mind, I’ve found some lovely blue nursery decorations, toys and clothes some for boys, some for girls but mostly things that are for both.

1. Soft and girly butterfly wings to wear or even hang on the wall by Christa Davis.

2. A little car kit that you put together and decorate with the included crayons by Fidoodle.

3. Sweet, sweet bamboo elephant mobile with big blue ears by Petit Collage.

4. A beautiful powder blue bench for a kids bedroom or a play space by Guy and Brown.*

5. A cute hand made felt singing bird soft toy by Colourland on etsy.

6. A house shaped toy storage box by Rice DK available from Nettle Green.

7. Adorable birdie coat pegs or door handles by Zachary Dickory Dock.

8. A cool ribbed hooded jumper in electric blue by Stella McCartney kids.
