A boat mobile so lovely!

"fabric boat mobile for babies"

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.

"bird mobile and horse mobile for babies"

I’ve always been a fan of baby mobiles but when I started writing this blog I discovered some absolute gems.  Some of my favourites that I’ve written about are the whimsical mouse mobiles, the majestic bird mobiles and the simple style your own bird and clouds mobile.  And today I bring you another to add to this list.  I absolutely love these bird and horse mobiles by Specks & Keepings .  They’re a little shop filled with delicate and beautiful objects.  The kind of objects that make you happy when you look at them… that give you the little pleasures in life.  And these mobiles do just that.  They are hand sewn and made of vintage fabrics and each one is different.  Beautiful and unique, just the type of combo that always gets me excited.  You can have a closer look at Specks & Keepings online store.  They’re based in the US but also ship internationally – just drop them a line with your address.

"mouse mobile for baby"

How cute are these mice mobiles and nursery decorations?  I’m not a fan of real mice (eeek!) but these ones would be more than welcome to share my home.  Hand made in France by Rose Minuscule, these mice are full of little details and intricacies to capture your child’s imagination.  Just look at their clothes and accessories… I’m loving the polka dotted trousers on the mouse who’s reading and don’t miss his oh so trendy cap too.  These mice nursery decorations will make whimsical mobiles for babies or unique wall decor for older kids.  You’ll find these curious cuties over at Design from Paris where they cost between €59.90 and €70.  You can also go direct to Rose Minuscule but you’ll need to brush up on your French first!

If you want to see more adorable mice, then checkout this Maileg mouse that comes with a cheese house!

"French hand made dolls"

"handmade balloon mobile for babies"

"handmade nursery tree decoration"

The Frenchies have done it again.  This time it’s a shop called Cocon filled with the most beautiful objects.  Little things like mobiles, cloud coasters and even a handmade linen and wool beanstalk adorn the shelves of Cocon.  Beautiful, delightful and charming are the best words to describe this shop.  Cocon is owned by Masami Akatsuka who hand makes all the objects of desire herself.  She’s a designer, a stylist and an artist who clearly has an eye for exquisite things.

I love all her products; there’s an innate beauty that radiates from all.  But I especially love the little jade plants, the cloud coasters and the balloon mobile.  Perfect little decorative objects that would add a touch of beautiful style to any nursery or to any part of your home.  Visit Cocon to see more and do have a look at Rosemary and Emma, 2 decorative dolls with the dreamiest of outfits.  Prices range from around €10 to €140 and shipping is worldwide. UK shipping costs around €8.  Cocon is truly a rare diamond.

"Paper bird mobile"

"paper bird mobile to colour in"

"papaer bird mobile by Bomb Design"

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with this paper bird mobile.  A flock of white cardboard birds soaring in the sky being watched over by clouds is what you get.  You then get to put your very own style on it.  You can colour it in, paint it or my favourite idea: get bits of bright wallpaper and drape the birdies in these.  And should you happen to be expecting your second kiddy, it’s the perfect little project for the older one.  They can put their own stamp on their little brother or sisters nursery.  Sweet!  But if it’s your first baby, you get to hog the designing… I am so jealous!  This bird mobile is by Bomb Design and costs €19.50 plus €10 shipping worldwide. But if you happen to be in Germany, shipping is free.   Lucky you!

"di calsse japanese paper mobile"

"Di classe Japanese paper mobile"

Japanese design is ridiculously cool and I’m a gargantuan fan.  Today I bring you a finer than fine example of Japanese design.  When I spotted these paper mobiles by Di Classe, I nearly pee’d my pants!  Cool doesn’t even begin to describe the awsomeness that this is.  Three different mobiles made out of jet black paper that would look amazing in a cool white nursery.  Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of paper cutting but given a modern twist, what a unique design statement these would make.  On offer are a birdcage complete with a little birdy, a frame and a rose wreath.  Hang all 3 together and watch your bambino get mesmerised… after all newborns do see black and white first.  Head to Bouf where these mobiles cost £12 plus delivery at £2.  You’ll have to be patient as they come all the way from Japan but it’s so worth the wait.

"swan bird mobile"

"migrating bird mobile"

I’ve realised I’m more than a bit partial to mobiles for babies.  Even more so when they’re as stunning as these bird mobiles.  The two that have caught my eye big time, are the majestic swan and the migrating birds mobile.  There’s just one word to describe them… wow!  How incredibly beautiful they are.  Both are made by Dame Belette, a French lady who’s inspiration is nature and poetry.  Made of paper, coupled with feathers for the swan one and natural wood for the migrating birds, these bird mobiles are definitely poetic, majestic even.  You can get them from a site called Design from Paris and the swan mobile costs €56.40 while the migrating birds mobile costs €59.90 and they ship to Europe, USA, Australia and lots more places.  Not the cheapest but sometimes beauty comes at a price.

If you’d rather make your own bird mobile (well, sort of) then have a look at this creation by Alice Melvin for under a tenner.

Make your own bird mobile

December 20, 2010

"bird mobile for babies"Being snowed in I’ve spent lots of time surfing and discovering lovely new stuff to bring you.  On one of my surfs, I discovered Alice Melvin who makes the most amazing paper stuff.  Amongst the lovelies on offer is this make your own bird mobile.  Just cut out the birds and follow the included instructions.  The 5 birds in bright colours and super stylish prints would look just lovely fluttering above a babies cot.  And if you’ve got a pre-schooler too, get them to help make the mobile.  The Alice Melvin bird mobile costs £6.95 plus £3.60 delivery.  If not for your own, then gift it to an expectant mum and you can be sure you’ll be giving a unique pressie that’ll stand out from the crowd.
