Kickcan and Conkers

About this time of year everything is slowing down as the last posting dates pass and we all get ready for some serious family time. But this morning I logged on to find news of a long awaited new store and couldn’t wait to share it with you. Kickcan and Conkers has long been one [...]

Deluna Kids

I’m all about hot shopping opps this week, so here’s another one for you. Deluna Kids is a capsule collection of fabulousness for young ladies, inspired by vintage designs and handmade in the UK. The stand-out item, and my absolute favourite, is the Pom Pom Poncho, £55. Reversible, it comes in two colourways – indigo/red [...]

Oh, Brighton, with these children’s fashion delights you are really spoiling us. Yes, I’ve uncovered yet another fabulous shop just a stone’s throw from my house – hurrah for where I live! Love Frankie is a delightfully quirky label comprising the kitsch stylings of mum-of-one Johanna Franks. You’ll find shift dresses in bright print fabrics [...]

French Vintage Spelling Prints

Art + vintage + spelling = my nirvana. Throw in a little je ne sais quoi and it’s ‘Hold me down, before I spend all my measly statutory maternity pay.’ So, needless to say, I went gaga over these little beauties over at the ever-fabulous Present & Correct. Perfectly presented in school ‘black’board green, each [...]

Vintage Savings Bank

This vintage metal savings bank is a brilliant slice of old-world for a decorative piece in your child’s bedroom. Slide the hatch open and the drawer comes out for their money and then they press the bell for the money to be taken away. Definitely not for very little one’s although I’d say a 3-4 [...]

Helen Rawlinson

I picked up a couple of Helen Rawlinson’s gorgeous lamps at a Hidden Art show years ago, so when one of them met with a sticky chewy end courtesy of our pup, I revisited her website, where I was delighted to find her children’s range. There are two lampshade designs in two sizes (£36 and [...]

Baby Bean Vintage

   I felt my blood pressure rise when I spotted that Just Gorgeous are selling one of a kind dresses by US designer, Baby Bean Vintage. Designed by Texan Christine Visneau, these are stunning, handmade dresses and bloomers made from and inspired by vintage fabrics, for age 6 months to 6 years. The sumptuous fabrics [...]

Baby’s Bunting from Recycled and Vintage Fabrics

I have a confession – I’ve never really got the whole ‘bunting’ thing as they’re normally overtly twee, super lairy, or mega kidified. That was until I came across a company called Baby’s Bunting when I visited Kids.modern. They make hand crafted bunting from recycled and vintage fabrics and each one is appliqued with felt [...]

If you fancy getting an investment piece (I love using this phrase on the boyf) for Christmas traditions with your bambino, you must check out these handmade Christmas Stockings from Alice & Emma. Made from 100% recycled vintage materials with sweet details and your childs name appliqued on them, they certainly are a delightful change [...]

I love Cloth-Ears

Natalie writes… Ah…sigh…I’ve found another fabulous vintage and retro haunt where I will be snapping up some birthday gifts for my mum and forcing myself to resist  shopping for myself or the bambino… I love these limited edition handmade Ollie Owl cushions which are handmade making each one unique and they’re really reasonable, £14.99 for [...]
