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! ‘Flower Nail’ Notepad

Oooh, pretty, yes? Natural oak base, and the paper is held in place with that lovely ‘Flower Nail’ – just remove it to add more paper. That bargainous price even includes a refill pad (but not the pencil- you’ll just have to sharpen your own). SO much prettier than the yellow post it pad I have loitering in my kitchen… Now £13.50 from Dee Puddy, my new lovely light, airy and calming place to spend ten...

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.  Big enough for a small-fisted cuddle, not one but TWO twisty dangly textured bits to twiddle, a sweetly-crooked...

Spotted! A leather-bound Little Book Of Big Ideas

I. Want. This. Want want WANT it. Softback leather (letterpress printed) cover, with plain or squared lined pages of finest quality paper, and a slightly distressed, vintage appearance… Did you ever see anything finer for keeping by your side to jot down the gazillion genius thoughts you lose track of during the day? I thought not. Available (along with a whole pile of other leather-bound tempters) from Hope House...

The Yuu Bag. Genius.

The Yuu Bag. Genius.

The Yuu Bag. Not really a bag, as such. More an experience in a Rucksack. The Yuu bag isn’t a school bag (though my 10yr old insists on using his) – it’s just a bit too big for lugging to school. No, this is a travel bag for your child. And it’s flippin genius is what it is. Now you can, of course, visit the Yuuworld web site and order a bag for your child. But that’s really chopping half the fun out of...
