Playful designs for big & small…
September 5, 2012
One of the best things about moving into a new season is the new collections on offer. While summer is my favourite season, I’ve always loved Autumn/Winter lines the most. A couple of weeks ago I shared a beautiful kids clothing collection and since then I’ve wanted to share a new collection of kids toys and decor. I’ve found just the thing with Ferm Living’s new season goodies. Always stylish and fun, Ferm Living is never too cute or too baby-ish. Playful designs mixed with bold patterns come to life in kids throw pillows, soft toys, wall decor and more. Ferm Living also offer an adults range which I think would work very well for kids too. For me, design that transcends age is always the best!
Poetic creations…
September 4, 2012
You may have seen Lucky Boy Sunday featured here in the past and today I couldn’t resist sharing their latest campaign. It’s hard to put the charm of Lucky Boy Sunday in to words so I guess I could say that there’s a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ about their creations. The goodies are wonderful but so is the way they put together each campaign with an almost magical and poetic quality to it. The creators say they ‘adore the unsaid’, leaving it up to you dream and imagine what you will…
Sunny yellow things…
August 28, 2012
A few weeks ago I wrote about some pretty pink things because my daughter informed me that pink was the best colour in the world. She then told me purple was a close second and so I felt inspired to share some lovely lilac things with you. Now she has informed me that yellow is the third best colour so today I have my sunny yellow finds for you. I hadn’t planned for this to become a little series but you’ve told me you enjoy it and I love putting it together so why not:
1. Love the bold yellow and white combo of this stylish origami light shade.
2. How cute are these handmade little newborn booties for boy or girl.
3. A sweet little knitted doll perfect as a clutch toy or pram companion for a baby.
4. Peach and mango popsicles with a burst of bright pink raspberry… delicious and healthy!
Melancholy Mr Fox…
August 10, 2012
How can anybody not fall in love with this lot?! These fox dolls are the most adorable creatures I’ve seen in a while. From their almost melancholy demeanor which is so endearing, to their little outfits and accessories, there is so much to fall in love with. These beautiful hand made dolls are created in Moscow by Nalogina Lubov who’s attention to detail in her creations is really quite something.
Nalogina also makes other dolls that come with amazing little outfits and accessories but it was these little foxes that stole my heart. Look at that little guy with the blue suitcase… don’t you just feel like adopting him? And what about the aviator… I’m wondering where he’s flying off to. Each creature has so much character and I feel like I can imagine all kinds of things about their little lives. Called Takiyaje dolls, there is no shop but you can email the creator and she’ll make you the doll of your choice.

When I’m feeling blue…
July 6, 2012
When I’m feeling blue… all I have to do is take a look at you.
I’m longing for blue skies. If you live in London or anywhere in England you’ll know what I mean. If not, you’re probably enjoying blue skies already… lucky you! While I wait I thought I’d cheer us all up with some wonderful blue goodies:
1. “La Casita” cloud pillow with raindrop stickers… 2. Baby alpaca wool clothes for boy or girl… 3. Stars, stripes and solid indigo blue cushions for a nursery… 4. Blue snow-capped mountains wallpaper designed and drawn by an 8 year old… 5. A foxy soft toy* made of re-cycled denim which I discovered while reading Milk Mag… 6. A happy balloon with a your personal message inside for any occasion.
Teddy bears picnic!
June 25, 2012
How adorable are these teddy bears? They’re made right here in London by Mia who is a mama of 2 with a huge imagination. Each hand made teddy comes with a little set of it’s very own and very cute belongings. Most come with sweet little dresses and coats, a picnic set including little crochet food, quilts and pillows, moses baskets or beds and even a family photo album. Could these sets get any sweeter?!
Each teddy bear is beautifully dressed complete with a coat and sometimes a complimentary scarf and handbag too. These little sets would be great for hours of imaginative play. All the bears have bags of personality so I’m sure you can make-up lots of creative stories about each one’s life.
Sometimes I am just wowed by the creativity of mama’s that I stumble across and this is definitely one of those times. The bears and their accessories look like they’ve been made with lots of love, imagination and they’re super stylish too. To see more or to place an order you’ll find all the information you need over at Manomine.

Handmade style: Cutest soft toys
June 15, 2012
I’m a sucker for soft toys, especially the ones that look like they have a story to tell and a personality to match their little story. In this house they don’t often get played with but they’re always welcome here as they look fabulous piled up on a shelf or just dotted around a room. These characterful soft toys are my latest discovery and aren’t they the cutest? They’re all entirely hand made from cotton and linen and their faces are hand embroidered on. These adorable creatures are made by Furze Chan, a Hong-Kong based designer.
In addition to these delightful soft toys, Furze Chan also makes some paper goodies including stickers, paper puppets and cards all of which are wonderfully illustrated. Back to the soft toys though, I love their simplicity and I love the red bottoms some of them have. Since each toy is hand made by Furze herself, they are sold in very limited quantities and some of them are already sold out. But there are a few left at Furz Chan’s etsy store so you can take a look. Before I go, I’ll leave you with one more picture of this cutest little pig.
