It’s the last day if term and Spring is in the air (that’s if you don’t look at the impending weather forecast). Here are a few delights to get you in the ‘children are at home for a while’ zone that always takes a bit of adjusting to. If nothing else, the March Edit is full of pretty things – a glorious distraction from the pile up of dishes. Enjoy!
Seraphina offers fresh and colourful Indian hand-block and screen printed collections for your wardrobe and home. The children’s pj’s are especially cute – look at these adorable blue elephant ones for the little guy in your life!
The children have been pottering outside since the arrival of Spring upped the weather, so I have been thinking about any additions to the garden that will make life easier (i.e they will stay outside for longer). A pal sent me a link to a little company that specializes in ‘Mud Kitchens’ (perfect for the garden – excuse me if I am stating the obvious). What a superb idea – I have no doubt that this would keep them amused for hours and with two basins there will be no arguing over who is doing the mixing.
This has been one of my greatest finds EVER. There are lots of discounted websites now but I find it tends to be the rubbish that is left. Not with Shoeaholics. They have so many good brands and up to 80% off. I bought some Kurt Geiger black court shoes for a recent wedding reduced from £160 – £59. These flexi soled (it is all about comfy feet, I don’t care that I sound middle aged) courts from Michael Kors are a bargain at £59 from £119.
Ostrich Feather Key rings from Raspberry London £11.50
Move over Pom Pom’s – it is all about the Ostritch Feather. Rasberry London has a fab range of bright colours perfect for Spring/Summer so if you are in the running for a new keyring, grab one whilst you can.
Personalised Toy Bags from Flossie London
It is all about #shophandmade when possible. Flora owner of Flossie & Bumble has a gorgeous little business making lovely items for around the home. Her bespoke gifts such as cushions, doorstops and toy bags would make a lovely gift for someone. I adore Atalanta’s new toy bag with her initial stitched on the gorgeous pale pink dog fabric. The quality is high and the prices are low so please have a look at her website.
Gardenia of London deliver the most beautiful flowers Nationwide and they have a weekly/monthly subscription service where they dleiver seasonal flowers to your door. I received 1 bunch of ranunculas, tulips and anemones that was so plentiful, i was able to seprate them into two vases! They also do a flower arranging course that I clearly need to do!
Kurt Geiger have a new range of kids shoes that are so sweet, I want a pair myself. Although perhaps I draw the line at wings on my feet – I do love a bit of glitter and there is plenty of that. The white trainers with the silver sole are super cool. We received one half through the post attached to an invitation (in the form of a helium balloon – yes, I was pretty excited too) and had to collect the other one at the party.
Have a very Happy Easter! xx
