Spotted! Belle & Boo Limited Edition set
I have loved Belle & Boo for a long long long time… and I admit, when I spotted this limited edition box set I let out a little *squeak*. The images were originally created for Anorak magazine and are now available on this bee-yoo-tiful minature limited edition (only 90 of them!) set. The four are presented as 5″ by 7″ prints, each signed & numbered by the artist, with the original poem created by Victoria...
Spotted! Swee-e-e-t wooden cot mobile.
Made from wood and consisting of three different parts, this gorgeous mobile features the lovely characters from the Woodours range. The ‘musicality’ is hidden inside daddy bears head and apparently plays a sweet lullaby version of ‘That’s Entertainment’. Gorgeous – we love. No longer available but others are from the always-interesting Peanut & Pip – we strongly suggest you stop for a browse while...
Spotted! Mr Jade from Snooshy
Oh I’m in LOVE with my new find – Knuffels A La Carte! SUCH a fab website, its pages bulging with quirky, funny, odd – yet endearingly cute ethical and fairtrade toys. And look who I found lurking in the Snooshy section? Mr Jade, no less. Just too cute to ignore. And yet – so adorably practical too.

Spotted! Beautiful Family Tree from Famille Summerbelle
Oh, I love this! I would love it in my kitchen. And I know my children would all love this too, hanging in their bedrooms.

It comes in two parts, the back has guides to show you where to stick your photographs, so that when you lay the front on top everything looks perfect. There are three different gorgeous versions on the Famille...
Spotted! Simply Gorgeous Loopy Lapin Rabbits
Come on, hands up everyone who had a knitted toy in their bed when they were small. One with nothing but dangly limbs and a sweet little sewn-on face to recommend it? Yes, me too; and I still have my Rabbit. How refreshingly simple these Loopy Lapin’s are from The Black rabbit. Funny plump ears, swingy legs and pretty little smiles sewn on to their stripy faces. Gorgeous. We love them. sadly no longer available from The Black...
Goggles. Oh yes.
When we went to France, I took with me two children who, whilst enjoying being in the pool, were rather hesitant about the whole actual swimming deal. Boy is nearly 10, and can swim, but really rather hates getting his face wet. Jolly, 8, can’t quite swim, and will not, no way, no how, go under water for any reason, areyouinsane thank you. So, what happens if you throw a couple of pairs of goggles ta them? I’ll show you....
