And the dish ran away with the spoon...

Whilst I was at my sister's for Easter she got out her Bunnykins cup from when she was little for LT to use and it got me thinking about children's crockery.

I want to get LT something that he can use every day but also treasure in years to come. I think he is old enough now to have a special porcelain set.
But, oh my god there is a lot of tat out there. Lots of pink for girls, blue for boys, Disney princess', slapdash illustrations and just plain boring.

Until I found Djeco do a range - available from tickety boo in the UK

These are my favourites.

Chicken Wings Collection



Gingerbread Collection





I toyed with the idea of classic sets like the kind of thing I had when I was a kid but they just don't compare with the bright colours and fun illustrations from Djeco.

The Gruffalo (this generations Peter Rabbit) from John Lewis

Classic Bunnykins from House of Fraser


Primary Colours from David Mellor


Vintage from Etsy

A few recent etsy buys

I have become totally addicted to buying pictures from etsy - mainly for LT's room. Here are a few of the latest.



Fab vintage Sesame Street cards from Boston Bag Lady
I have fond memories of Sesame Street and the Muppets- I am so glad there is the new interactive Sesame Street content for xbox (although one of LT's first words may be 'xbox' the amount of times I shout at the kinnect!)



Happy Moon from thepairabirds



Ghost Ship by Day (Above) and Sun Mountains (below) from Strawberry Luna



And these two from Osborn Woods

Fabric

I must admit I have got a little carried away buying new fabrics! I have just ordered a whole stack of lovely prints - I now just need to find the time to make beautiful things with them!
This is one of my faves from Cloud 9 Fabrics.

Etsy Treasury

Since joining Etsy I have loved looking at other peoples favourites and treasuries. I really enjoy the way people really think about the colours and the way the pieces in their treasuries work together.
Here is my effort - List Number Thirteen
It started with these door knobs by Chocolate Creative - Aren't the colours lovely?
Go and have a look...

New in...

I have just added some new quilts to the shop.

Let me know what you think?
