Wrapped in memories



I know there are people on Ebay who would love a matching crib bumper, curtain, and blanket in the discontinued Pottery Barn Jungle Animal Velour pattern, but I simply can’t part with it. I mean, these animals were my boys’ little crib friends. I spent so much time agonizing over which set to buy to decorate Ben’s room when I was pregnant with him. And then it got lots of love from Ethan as well. So, I think, the poor stuff will just lie around in a closet somewhere collecting dust. The thought of being able to cherish them along with other baby keepsakes dawned on me when I realized—ah a memory quilt!

I came across the Ticche and Bea website and fell in love with the idea of their quilt kits. You simply purchase the kit and mail them a certain number of fabric squares from bedding, clothing, or whatever you choose. In a few weeks, they send you the completed quilt. Check out their FAQ section to learn about the extra services they provide.

While I’m on the topic of quilts and blankets, check out these gorgeous blankets at Little Snuggle Bunny’s etsy shop. Her shop is full of handmade soft and lush baby blankets. I love the beautifully unique stitching that she uses around the binding. Her "Quilted Yellow Satin and Minky Blanket"reminds me of a baby chick-just in time for Spring!

I spot a whale


I just added this new spotted whale as an option on my personalized hooded towels. I think the pink with the yellow polka dots is super cheery and I love bundling up my own little "bundle" in it. It's the biggest, thickest infant towel I've ever used.

This design will also be available on all onesie and tee sizes soon. I'm working on getting the sample one finished and ready to be posted in my etsyshop.
