minti minti minti!



You know about Minti right? It's a supercool NZ brand that has taken Australia by storm. It's not for the traditionalist, more mums that like their kids with a bit of spunk! All pieces are designed to be worn again and again... its fab for everyday. A good big delivery arrived and here is snapshot - Isn't the tracksuit super cute for a new bubba... and that purple cotton dress with the vintage cat print is just the best!

Will be online today.

Big by Fiona has arrived and is already flying off the shelf. I don't normally put this brand online so try and pop into store...... you won't be disappointed!

Also great news for those with older girls - we have bought a small capsule of the Fiona range, sizes 8-12 - yay! It looks fab too...

accomplishments...

There is nothing better than seeing the happiness on your child's face when he has accomplished something. Little H got a mini micro scooter from Santa but wasn't keen on it as it didn't 'turn' like his older cousin's razor scooter. It sadly sat lonely in the backyard. During the rain last week I decided to bring it inside (to store for Baby h) when Little h chose to rock on it while watching telly... well after a few minutes he realised he had learnt how to steer it! It was so lovely to watch his excitement and even better when he got the hang of using the back brake.. he was so proud of himself!

These were quick candid shots from the iPhone - inner city living at its finest...learning how to scoot and brake in the back lane!

Is there anything you have been proud of lately? Summer is a great time to observe and enjoy your kids playing outdoors, having fun in the water and just being kids.. love to hear your thoughts..

Both are from Lisa Jones, a UK artist, traditionally known for her hand printed cards selling throughout England ( and now Australia) including the dept store Liberty. These tea towels are hand printed, organic cotton, fair trade made.. gotta be happy with that! Here's a better snap of them:

our shabby chic neighbour

Summer Hill has lots of fabulous shops and one that cannot be missed is Monica Trapaga's Reclaim.... She recently released a cookbook titled 'She's leaving Home - Favourite family recipes for a daughter to take on her own life journey'. As the title suggests she wrote the book after her daughter decided she was leaving home. It's a collection of tried and tested family recipes and stories.

What makes it special as that it doesn't have any styled photo images of food, instead it is beautifully illustrated by the super talented Artist Meredith Gaston. I'm really enjoying it and think you might too!

Her store is definitely worth a visit..... if you like all things vintage in that romantic kind of way.... and of course check out the book, Monica sells signed copies instore or is available in selected bookstores.

sweet little candles...

The sweetest fragranced candles have just arrived. They are small and sweet with gorgeous vintage pictures on the wrapper. The wrapper is translucent so the image glows when the candle is lit...
At only $8 each, they would be lovely added to a baby present or for a new mum. The fragrance is very subtle so it would enhance a room not overpower it.


Instore now
