Dinner time fun. . .

I just love these Viking melamine plates made for kids by a German company Herzensart by Sandra Monat http://www.herzensart.com/start/en/index.html . They also have some fantastic viking softies and have been featured in the latest Softies publication.

Vintage Style Christmas Gift Tags

I've been on the look out for some cute gift tags for our Christmas gift sets, and found these vintage style reindeer tags on etsy (SeasonalDelights). We're going to prepare some cute gift packs for the Mathilda's Market (November) with complimentary gift wrapping and reindeer tags attached!

Halfway at the Powerhouse

Beautiful Cards

With a rush of birthdays and weddings I was on the lookout for some beautiful cards and always wanting to support handmade I hit Madeit and found Amanda from Mimba. They are so unique and great value, take a look her Christmas Range will be available soon. http://www.madeit.com.au/mimba

Big Kid Beds for Little Dreamers

Ahh the joys of toddlers....constant chatting, newfound climbing skills, the new and not so wonderful world of tantrums, cheeky grins, gorgeous cuddles and of course the inevitable move to a big kids bed. Whilst our little lovelys are still sleeping in their cots we've been chatting alot lately about when and how to make the move to a big kid's bed and importantly how to dress their beds!

This and a flood of enquiries have sparked us to add the single bed sized quilts to our range of baby and now toddler bedding. So, now you can order any of the gorgeous quilts you see featured on our website in single bed size. The quilts are $299 and are 100% cotton, filled with organic cotton batting and are a lighter option for little ones than a quilt cover and insert. We're interested to hear how you made the move from cot to single bed and also, what do you make of the popular toddler sized beds? Are they a good tool for transitioning to the bigger bed or an unnecessary yet very cute expense?

Our first stockist....... The Enchanted Closet

We were very excited this week to send our first (hopefully one of many) packages to The Enchanted Closet in Melbourne, thanks Mia. This is the first B&M stockist of the Ani and Trio range, can't wait to see how it goes. The Enchanted Closet are opening their 2nd store at High St Armadale, Melbourne any day now good luck!

Thanks to Kristy and Dan for snapping our products for us.

Buttons, Buttons and more Buttons .....

In the quest to find someone to make the 40 covered buttons needed for my sisters wedding dress I came across Lucy at All Buttons Great and Small. What an amazing service and great quality, worth a look if you're on the hunt for the perfect button.

Mathilda Markets and Moochie-Moo

Thank you all for a great day at Mathilda Markets on Sunday it was great to see so many people and such a great range of products. This is the 3rd Market we have done and I think the best so far, hopefully November will be bigger and better.

I thought I would share with you my new purchase from the Market, it is a blow up Moose, that I fell in love with from Moochie-Moo. Their stall was across from us and I couldn't resist! My 18mth old is not sure what to make of him, she carries him around like a teddy. And the other great thing is that it is blow up and comes with its own pump, great for storage.

Mathilda's Market

We love Mathilda's Markets, here is some info for you. We will be at the Next Brisbane one on 19th July, hope to see you there:

Mathilda's Market is a fabulous niche market that offers unique, stylish and affordable baby & kids goods that are lovingly handmade or from limited production line. The retailers are hand pick to ensure an exciting product range, and most of them do not have a shop front, so you know you'll find something special, not available anywhere else.

Mathilda’s Market is coming up in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth in June & July. With up to 70 gorgeous stalls, yummy food, free kids entertainment, this is a fantastic day out for young & old. For a sneak peek, have a look at the gallery on Mathilda’s Market website (http://www.mathildasmarket.com.au/) and enjoy browse through past Markets.

Mothers Day Sale!!

We thought it was the perfect reason for a sale, celebrating mums and mums-to-be. Have a look at our range and don't forget our one off pram/crib quilts we have heaps to choose from so email us for more details!

Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful mums out there!!

devine inspiration

At the moment we're working on our new collection, this is an exciting time and for us, it's the most fun part of what we do. It's a time when we can let our imaginations run wild and it's a good excuse for cutting out snippets from magazines, collecting postcards and bits of fabric that we love. It either goes one of two ways 1)We discuss, plan, trawl through swatches and swatches of fabric, visit and revisit shops and then finally it all comes together and Anita does her thing and the result is a gorgeous baby quilt or 2) we recklessly stumble across a stand out fabric and everything else just falls into place. Some of the things that are inspiring us right now include starlings, fire engine red and duck egg blue together, the 'I want to be in America' dresses in West Side Story, Finnish fabrics on the nord living website and combinations of aqua and chocolate. Plus chocolate. Let us know what's inspiring you.

Mathilda's Markets

We love taking part in Mathilda's Markets and Melbourne's latest was no exception. Hawthorne town hall was a gorgeous location and dedicated mums, dads, kids, grandparents and friends packed the place out. There was a good variety of stall holders too and some really gorgeous kids goodies on offer. We had a successful day, we found that we sold lots of our mini quilts (which are a great size for the first year and really portable). As a result we have some new mini quilts on offer on our website and we'll make them part of our next collection, due out May/June.

New Collection

Is it really April already? We have been furiously working on our new collection of baby bedding which is due out May/June and features some beautiful new fabrics, plenty of vibrant colours and will be available in a variety of sizes including cot, crib, stroller and even available in singles for your child's first big bed! Our summer collection is still available from our site, here's one of our favourites, Secret Garden.
