This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages.

It’s the mobile ideas factory from PearsonMaron who I’m now truly and utterly in love with. They also make cloud factories and heart factories.

What clever people !

Discovered via Hop Skip Jump, what a lovely shop this little find is. Black Lark Gallery’s online shop is currently playing home to all the lovely hand made dolls taking part in their Creature Feature exhibition.

Makers include Le Train Fantome, Udder, Lucy Jane Batchelor, Donna Wilson, Ella Pedersen, Sandra Monat, Abigail Brown, BlaBla and Fiona Dalton. They also have an any-year calendar by Donna Wilson – genius!

Be sure to visit Black Lark’s blog too – to see the brilliant way they’re displaying the creatures at their gallery.

Nature baby

www.naturebaby.co.nz

Our favourite shop for all the kids basics – merino tops, body suits and pyjamas, Nature Baby is one of the best things to ever come out of New Zealand. Thank goodness they’ve got an online shop because we probably couldn’t manage without them when offshore.

Their organic cotton and merino clothes are made to last (by a collective in India) – our daughter has had oodles of wear from everything we’ve ever bought from there. They’ve been handed down and will be handed back for our next one – all with plenty of life left in them yet.

If you can pay a visit their Grey Lynn and Newmarket shops are a delight to visit. There are lots of toys that aren’t on their web site and they’ve got play areas full of fun distractions so you can shop and browse to your heart’s content. Everything in Nature Baby; cotton, babyfood, nappies – it’s all organic by default.
