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!

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.
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.

Quirky toys with a big sense of humour
June 13, 2012
Introducing Corby Tindersticks… a new British brand full of quirkiness. Corby Tindersticks has been on my radar since they launched a few months ago and I’ve been meaning to share ever since. They create hand made soft toys, felt posters with embroidery and some tee’s too. It’s their first collection but it stands out from the crowd with it’s sense of humour and it’s uniqueness. Each character has a story to tell… the tall one with the long dangly legs is called ‘Pick n Mix’ and he’s renowned for his sweet tooth as well as his rather ungainly legs while the chubby one has eaten far too many nuts and ended up with a small head and a big belly. This collection draws on the very British sense of humour but has bags of appeal for anyone with a sense of fun. Corby Tindersticks is quirky, it’s cool and will bring a smile to the faces of kids and adults too.
The circus has come to town!
May 11, 2012
The circus is in town! This new collection of joyful circus toys and pillows is the creation of super talented mama, Anabel. In the collection you’ll find a range of clowns, a circus tent, some circus animals and my favourite, the ringmaster pictured on the left. All the toys can double up as pillows… I’m thinking super sweet sleeping companions for any little kid. Made from baby alpaca wool, bamboo and cotton they are hand knitted in Bolivia so not only are the goodies very cute, they’re environmentally friendly too. Anabel goes a step further by employing women artisans in Bolivia who wouldn’t otherwise have had the chance of earning. These toys are toys with a conscience, making them even more desirable. In addition to the new circus collection, Anabel makes lovely baby alpaca wool clothes and the most gorgeous crochet and knit necklaces for little girls. Visit Fournier to see the entire collection.
Sweetest woolly creatures
April 24, 2012
I’ve had my eye on these cute little plush toys for ages. When I first spotted them, I was charmed by their sweetness and their sleepy expressions. I can’t stop admiring the hedgehogs with their tiny hot pink noses but even the dog and the fox are just adorable. They’re soft toys that double up as decorative throw cushions too as they’re quite large. They’re made by a UK based designer called Sara Carr who makes each piece to order and they’re all made out of pure lambswool with lots of love and care. Sara’s collection is small but perfectly (and so cutely) formed. Visit Sara Carr’s store to see the rest of these ever so sweet creatures.
