Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Play Set

I love hand crafted toys and even more so when they reclaim traditional stories from the ubiquitous big brand image. This play set from Etsy seller Pink Nounou is made from wool felt and cotton. It includes Snow White, Seven Dwarfs, an apple, a story book (in either Portuguese or English) and a bag to [...]

le jeune’s Vintage Book Bunting

Who doesn’t love bunting? Its return to the mainstream has been a storm and seen it break through from a party accessory into a decoration stalwart. Seen in many a fashionable nursery bunting is a great way to add colour and personality with very little effort or expense. When I spotted this bunting from Etsy [...]

Jaffajam prints

I love nothing more than stumbling across a little gem while browsing Etsy (an often expensive guilty pleasure) and you know what fans we are of quirky art here at BG. So when I found the collection of prints by Leeds-based artist Jaffajam it was a double whammy. The Indian Peafowl, $15, is just gorgeous; [...]

Robin & Mould

My love of screen printed products is well documented on Bambino Goodies. I am finding it very hard not to write the rest of this post like this: sausage dogs!!! CLOUDS!!!! But as I am professional I shall temper my excitement. Robin & Mould are a Wiltshire based British couple whose collection of teal and [...]

Sewn Natural

There’s nothing I love more than stumbling upon a fabulous new Etsy store. So I was super-excited to find Ottawa-based Sewn Natural, a veritable cornucopia of natural textile goodies. There’s almost too much wonderful stuff to choose from – upcycled party dresses, organic sleep sacks, pretty and practical car seat organisers – but here are [...]

Happy Thought’s father’s day poster

As a total paper products nerd, I’ve been doing a lot of hunting for the perfect father’s day card from Alfie to his dad. As usual, Etsy had a huge and fabulous selection and I uncovered this great, personalised idea from Edinburgh-based Happy Thought. Just email them the name of the dad and children, four [...]

Printspace wall stickers

I’ve raved about Printspace’s whimsical illustrations before, and Alfie’s wall is home to one of their prints which I uncovered on Etsy. So, I was super-excited to hear that Mara and Nicholas Girling had teamed up with The Wall Sticker Company to produce a small but perfectly cool collection. Ranging from cute little birdie designs [...]

Six of the best animal cushions

My love of (OK, unhealthy obsession with) cushions is well-documented on BG and, inspired by my recent revisit to Zid Zid Kids, I’ve been hunting out the most fabulous  soft furnishing fauna on the web and, my, was it a tough job narrowing it down to six. First up, My Dear Darling’s fab monkey pillow, $38 (plus [...]

Wishes and Whimsies Storytelling Dice

I absolutely love this idea. Four little wooden blocks stamped with images – fairies, raindrops, a tortoise, a teacup – packaged in a cute cardboard box. Roll the dice and make up a story using the pictures that land face up – great for encouraging your child’s creativity. Perfect for travelling – a little easier [...]

Bird-themed party ideas

As I told you last week, I chose a bird theme for Alfie’s first birthday party/naming ceremony.  I uncovered a beautiful Happy Birthday banner, $13 (plus $3 p&p) at Earmark Invitations, which provided inspiration. I then began a search for paper bird garlands. I was sorely tempted by the doves at Paloma’s Paper Birds but, as it [...]

If, like me, you are still in love with owls and alphabets then take a look at this hoot-i-licious owl alphabet poster. 26 wise little owls each with it’s own letter. It is A3 size printed on heavy matte presentation paper with archival inks and you can [...]

Scarves by Sara Carr

I could stand the Winter lasting another six months if we were kitted out in these luscious lambswool scarves from Sara Carr. Each scarf is knitted to order from 100% lambswool. The pencils are 120 x 8 cm and available in three colours as well as in adult sizes. Kevin Caterpillar is 120 x 9 [...]

Handmade Princess and The Pea Set

When I posted about the rise of The Princess and the Pea as a nursery trend I really wanted to include this beautiful handmade play set but it was not in stock at the time. On reflection it is probably just as well as it deserves a post of its very own. Manda of TreeFall [...]

Customised Chest of Drawers

I am currently working on creating an office space in our house (I work on the sofa…) and I will be making over an old desk in the process so my antennae are up for furniture DIY projects. I spotted this chest of drawers make over on ohdeedoh yesterday and it was instant lust! This [...]

Shadow Puppets by Orange Moon Toys

Shadow puppets are a brilliant way to encourage children’s imaginations and offer great scope for creating wild and wonderful tales. These sets by Etsy store Orange Moon Toys are some of the best I’ve seen. With a large selection of designs – we’re loving the dinosaurs, sea creatures and fairytale court – each set comes [...]
