get set.....baby

It's such a happy time, your baby or your sisters baby or friends baby (you get the idea) is soon to be here, or maybe is already here and there are things to get ready, to send, to have in, all the nesting and prepping.
Well here we have put together a few things that we think would be great, some (almost all) tried and tested and happy to say recommended :)

These super cute unisex 'New baby' announcement postcards are lovely, yes we text and email but there is something about having the news followed up in the post, a note to keep and cherish, 6 per pack £3.60 by Cloud Cucko Designs
Lie baby on this cosy reversible quilt/playmat, at sleepy time, play time, baby yoga and even picnic time! £42.50 at notonthehighstreet

Well we had to put in a stylish childs chair from the bestest ever chair stop for little people!  'Molly-Meg' this particular chair is a Casalino child's Chair, Junior size I edition, c 1970 Original £100, new editions are available too £88. Molly Megs new website is a treasure trove of delights with chairs, vintage and modern furniture, home and deco, toys, pictures and cards, it' s a must visit which I'm sure will result in a much needed purchase and a wish list!
On the chair are the ever useful hooded towels with modern graphic animal silouette prints, these are fabulous from birth at bath-time, beach-time, super-hero time! by Cloud CuckOO  Designs £26

My watch is off to the repairers, whilst away thought I could 'arm' myself with some summer colour fun with one of these ...

Alessi bring these fun and quirky watches in a range of colours , the blue and white are my favourites but there is a green, pink and black option too, how cute is the face :) - £52


Tic Watches offer all brands and colours but here are the ones I liked most, especially the Breo Two colour, £35 (my mini-one is admiring the stackable 'bouncy watch!)

Fullspot O Clock a colour for everyone here, with these cool stylish Italian watches with pop out faces and changeable straps to create you own colour combos, now available in the UK £34.95

Nooka watches have a great range too these picks are from the 'yogurt' range and 'zub-40'

loving pyjamas....

I received news from The Present Cupboard this morning about the review they have done on our Cloud cuckoo pyjamas
ranging from the 0-3 month organic bundlers, 3-12 month jersey organic jim-jams and upto 4 years for the organic woven pyjamas as shown here.

Getting into our cosy jim-jams is just great, I loved it when I was little and still today, nowadays though they are not the red muppet ones I recall from my childhood memories.

Kiddie jim-jams are getting better whatever the look you're going for, great qualities, practical and easy to pop on and also fantastic graphics.
Here are a few of my favourites for our little ones at the moment.

Boden with these gorgeous simple blue and white star pj's, great always soft & cosy, clean and simple lines.

Fantastic online store Snugg Nightwear have a wonderful range as you can imagine, dedicating their store to nightwear. These spring allover print bird Pj's are just adorable and upto age 7 too. Please click over to their site to see great images and full range.

Milliemanu use beautiful Liberty prints in this girls PJ set, what I love is they go from 12 months to 5 years and made in the UK

If you like the Liberty prints check out Zara kids too (link below)

Plenty more if these are getting you ready for dreamtime at greenbaby , piquant baby little white company

All this pyjama talk is making snoozy, night night (mmmmmm, i know I'm a little earlier!)
