Spotted! Owls! On a Clock!
Oh what could be sweeter in a clock than this? Two Lulabird owls, no less. The clear numbers make it a very practical clock for a childs room, of course; but blow them, I want this in my office! Available from HunkyDory Home
Nuna Zaaz Highchair review
Joe was just getting to the point where he thought he was far too grown up for a highchair – he is two after all… they grow up so fast these days! – and I was wondering what we would do for the next stage. If we sit him at the table he just gets down, so we needed him to be restricted, but not to feel too much like a baby. The Nuna Zaaz turned out to be absolutely perfect.

Hello Mrs Booth!
Have you met Mrs Booth? Browsed her website, made with love by mrs booth? Oh you should, you really, really should.

Then I...

That there is made-to-fit-your-own-walls wallpaper from Isak. Oh yes. So it’ll look a bit like this… Like I said. *swoon* Lots more wonderful stuff on Isak the website
