Brown Bears and Pink Piggies

My 3 year old daughter has already got a fixed sense of fashion. After many battles at the closet, we decided to print our own custom fabric to see whether that would appease the tiny diva. I whipped up about 20 designs on my computer all including some form of pink piggies and brown bears (which she loves), and this is what she chose, little girls holding pink piggies and brown bears. The forms were inspired by one of my fave etsy shops - goosegrease, and woo hoo - she loves it! The shirt was also chosen by her, from a Japanese pattern book. Thank you Spoonflower!

More Chicken Love













Heather Moore is one talented gal - I'm SO in LOVE with the tea towel I ordered - in chicken print, of course, and I don't think I'm going to be able to use it as a tea towl, it's so beautiful. Maybe frame it?

Dress Up





































I was so happy when my lookbook from Wiksten arrived! It is a fantastic piece of work. I was very proud to notice that a few of her props were similar to the suitcases in my shop!

Break the Bank!














I found these amazing hand painted Piggy Banks while thrifting. These little banks don't come with a bottom hatch, so they have to be broken to get your money out! Not surprising that nobody had the heart to do that to these sweet little ones!
