When French designer Claire completed her very first sewing project aged 5 with the help of her grandmother's sewing machine, she would never have dreamed that one day she'd be living in England with a little girl all of her own, creating these stunning liberty print cushions and accessories for children's rooms. But here in England she is - and we were thrilled to receive an email from her recently, introducing us to her company Little...
At a first glance, these might just look like a bag of pegs (albeit in a pretty gorgeous-looking bag), but take a closer look and you'll soon see that these aren't just any old clothes pegs. Printed on each side with a fabulous black harlequin pattern, it's a shame to hide them out on the washing line when they can come inside and accessorise your home. Use them to peg up and display their favourite...
It's good to see colourful children's tableware that isn't covered with characters or pattern. And even better when it's made from natural bamboo! As practical as melamine or plastic is (and don't get us wrong, we use it every day too), these Biobu dish sets designed and made by Ekobo are really quite special. You see, the material is every bit as strong and resistant as melamine, but it's completely natural - and therefore much...
Fancy serving up their snack on a cat? Or tea on a tea-drinking zebra? Well now you can, with these fabulous melamine plates designed by Helen Dardik and available from the lovely Peanut and Pip children's store. Featuring five different animals to mix and match, including a sailor dog, a fox in a suit, a cheeky-looking monkey, a multi-coloured cat and of course, the tea-drinking zebra herself, each design tells a story and is bound...

Those of you that received our recent Winter newsletter may recognise the little toadstool lamp (pictured above) from our pink and gold girl's room board. Well, we liked it so much, we thought we'd share it here too. And we're also loving this rabbit lamp (if you've been reading for...
Our daughter adores Winnie the Pooh, however it's been quite tricky finding any stylish-looking bedroom accessories featuring the bear himself. Well - the search is now over, as we recently discovered these fabulous Winnie the Pooh and Piglet cushions all the way from Brooklyn, where they were designed and silk-screen printed by hand by Atsuyo Et Akiko. With a cotton front and a linen back, we're loving the simplicity of the print with the added...
We adore these prints. And not just because they have rabbits on them. Designed in France by illustrator Marie Petriaux for My Lovely Thing, and available from stunning French Blossom children's store, they have a beautifully delicate style and colour palette that will add a touch of charm and finesse to any nursery or child's room. And just the thing for Valentine's Day! Pictured above is Josephine, with soft rosy cheeks in her pretty mustard...
