Wonderland collection at Plantation Rug Company
October 27, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
How fabulous are these rugs? They form part of the new Wonderland collection from Plantation Rug Company, which also features a big version of the owl, blue and pink owls and the tree with the owl’s eyes peeping out. All would look equally gorgeous adorning your little one’s floor, but I’m particularly fond of the big [...]

I had a big plan for today’s post (which will just have to wait until later) but when I saw these cute as a button owl party invites I just had to share them with you right away. If you’re not familiar with Natasha of Nevie-Pie Cakes then let me introduce you. Natasha is a [...]
New Moccis designs
September 30, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Hard to imagine during our mini heatwave, but the season of chilly tootsies is almost upon us. Here at BG, we don’t do cold feet, we do Moccis instead. We are huge fans of the ultra-toastie yet cool Swedish moccasins and so I was super-excited to spot that they have new designs in the shop. [...]

July 21, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
My sister-in-law recently bought one of these for Alfie and he loves it, so I had to share. Santoro’s Patchpops are flatpack greeting cards your child can push out and put together themselves. There’s space for a short message and an envelope inside the pack. There are nine designs to choose from – including elephants, [...]

None of you can have failed to notice that we at BG are completely owl crazy. Now, I’m pleased to announce, Swedish superstore Lindex has followed suit. The latest additions to the baby section are these utterly adorable long-sleeved bodysuits in five colours – stock up now for winter as they’re €8.95 each and on [...]
Leaf Peepers foil print by Graham Carter
July 13, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Owls! Shiny owls! I’m completely head over heels with this amazingly gorgeous piece of artwork by Graham Carter. One of his latest series of hot foil silkscreen printed pieces (others include a panda made up of birds, bears fishing and yetis hibernating), it is a limited-edition of 100 and also comes in red. I adore [...]

Club Geluk

You know sometimes you find an online boutique where you want EVERYTHING? Well, say hello to Club Geluk, a Dutch label I happened upon while researching last week’s woodland theme post. I featured their super-cute duvet cover, but I couldn’t keep all the other goodies to myself, so here’s my pick of the current collection. [...]
Iota Illustration Prints
February 14, 2011 by Lucy · 3 Comments
Happy Valentine’s Day! I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce my latest love, Iota Illustration. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I spotted artist Oliver Lake’s work on Etsy, largely due to the immense number of owls involved (see the too-amazing-for-words Owls in Outfits, below). But it was typographical print Read [...]
41 Orchard wall stickers
January 27, 2011 by Lucy · 2 Comments
We’re big fans of wall stickers as an affordable and easy way to update your child’s room decor, but unfortunately they don’t always live up to the hype. I’ve suffered peeling corners (scruffy), ripping (tear-inducing) and damage to paintwork (just plain annoying). Another hit from our friends Down Under, 41 Orchard wall stickers seem to [...]
Aarrekid
January 19, 2011 by Lucy · 5 Comments
There’s something about Finnish design at the moment. Last week, I happened upon Muru, this week I found Aarrekid, an astoundingly cool label for kids. The Enchanted Forest and Space Travel prints are awesome and can be found on leggings, pinafore dresses, above, £33.07, long-sleeved tops and baby beanies, plus there are great black separates, always [...]
Hot Buy of the Day: Kicokids Owl T-shirt
November 18, 2010 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
We seem to have a bit of a bird theme on our daily Hot Buys this week, what with the hooks on Tuesday and Dodo Rocking Bird yesterday. I was worried that our dear old feathered friends the owls were feeling a bit neglected, so for today’s bargain I’ve found this delicious T-shirt over at [...]
Qatch Toy Pillow
Another case of love at first sight (how great is this job?). Is it a toy? Is it a cushion? It’s a MyToy MyPillow, silly! Designed by new company Qatch, these gorgeous creatures are made from organic cotton and bamboo velour, which is a bit of a miracle fabric with antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-static properties, [...]
Make Your Own: Funky Owl Mobiles
September 29, 2010 by Kat · Leave a Comment
Our love of owls knows no end and I am loving these two thrifty decor options. There is nothing better than a mobile for injecting some interest and colour into a nursery and this pair are both super chic. On the left is the colourful hoot hoot download from mini-eco. All you will need is [...]
New gorgeousness at Peagreen
September 27, 2010 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Our very own Kat first put me onto Hampshire-based design consultancy Peagreen and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Their collection of limited-edition prints are not only outstandingly original, but extremely well-priced, at £45 each. The latest additions to the online shop blew me away, so I had to share a few with you. [...]
