Walkers Mighty Lights. Yumyumyum.

We were sent some of the new Mighty Lights to review a while ago. I admit it – I’m late with my review. Simply because they got snaffled nigh on instantly (though I DID manage to take a picture this time) – I need things loitering on my desk to remind me to write about them. Having them disappear in a ninja-like conspiracy of crunchy stealth does NOT help my efficiency drive (*eyes family sternly*) Anyhoo – I...

Spotted! Owl Notebook! *Happy*

Spotted in the rather fabulous Magpie site, there are 4 designs from Bristol based artist Tom Frost featuring British Wildlife. Naturally we love the Owl, but there’s also an Otter, Hare and Fox. Mr Owl could be decoartinga  desk near you for the princely sum of just £6.00, just by clicking through to Magpie’s store.

Poco Nido Baby Shoes from Monkey McCoy – by @mummyconstant

Mitty James Tropical Stripe Swimsuit – proper girls swimwear

I’ll review the swimsuit, I said. Of course, I said. The girl is used to such tasks. No problem, I said. But of course, I hadn’t factored in the hot sunshine, and the lure of  a new pool. Here’s what I got… Didn’t I do well? I did get one vaguely useful one… But none of them do the swimsuit justice. It’s properly perfect!

Spotted! PERFECT Traditional Bucket & Spade set…

One think I positively loathe is the way every child’s toy has been turned into a plastic monstrosity. So when I find a little gem of old-fashioned style and build quality, I whoop with glee. Just look at this bucket and spade set! Gloriously bold and bright, with sheet metal construction that will last for years and wooden handles that are just waiting for small hands to love them (no more awkward rubbish plastic bucket handles...
