I have succumbed to pink


When I first opened the store, I made a vow never to do any 'traditional pinks just because that was what little girls wear'. Of course i would do the colour, but only if it was in season, if looked fab alongside another colour.. I want girls to have choices, not just different shades of pink.
This new season brings pink..yes its in season. So when I needed to reorder these shoes (in natural and red), I decided to buy pink. It's a cool colour of pink don't you think...i'm calling Raspberry. I actually really love them! You can now buy it here or instore.

65 years with Golden Books


Found this book in Melbourne last weekend and I'm so enjoying it. It's called Golden Legacy - How Golden Books Won Children's Hearts, Changed Publishing Forever, and Became an American Icon along the Way by Leonard S. Marcus.

Have you ever read a Golden Book and wondered when and why it was written? Or drawn to certain titles over the years? Well this books touches on different periods, authors and illustrators...so interesting! I have since realised that I'm drawn to the artist Mary Blair..and a Little H favourite "The Little Fat Policeman" was included in the orientation kit given to every rookie cop on the New York Police Force in 1955.

love Mae





have you met Mae?

Once upon a time, there was a young mum with a love of sweet, whimsical, unique designs. Frustrated with the lack of such designs available, she decided to create her own wares to decorate her children's bedrooms... but where to begin? Happily, she happened to know two like-minded designers that shared her love of all things charming, and one day over tea and buttery scones, Mae was born. Unlike most wall decals on the market, which are made of vinyl, her's are removable and completely reusable. The stickers can be applied to almost any surface, and will not damage your walls. It is also 100% Australian made, designed and manufactured and is completely sourced within a 100km radius from small businesses with the environment in mind. The fabric is printed with 'eco' ink which is the most environmental solvent ink on the market.

we heart them and we have just them put them online x
