baby bauhaus

So, the four day jubilee extravaganza is over...what next? Well, if you're in London, I'd really recommend the 'Bauhaus: Art as Life' exhibition at the Barbican. If you're a fan of Bauhaus style, or if you don't know anything about it, this exhibition provides a vast array of art, furniture, home wares, rugs, you name it, all in the Bauhaus style.

  

'But what has this got to do with babies?' I hear you ask...well, the Bauhaus school of design married art and craft practise to create fashionable and functional goods for every aspect of our lives, including children! Above you can see a wooden block boat toy, one of numerous toys in the exhibition. 

Fun and function!

 And here at Carry Me Home we also believe that children and babies should be able to look cool and feel comfy all at the same time (never compromise!). Our lovely baby grows are all super fashionable, but also soft, cosy and perfect for all little men and little ladies. For example, how about some rainbow braces, or trendy breton stripes?

 Another strong aspect of the exhibition was typography, and we're also a little bit alphabet partial ourselves :) learn in style with a funky poster, or some wooden letters

We think the Bauhaus would be proud!
Information on the exhibition can be found here,
and (nearly) all of the products can be found on our website here.

And, if you're not keen on the exhibition, don't worry, there's the European Championships, Father's Day and the Olympics coming up to keep you busy! x

the sun has got his...Hawaiian play suit on! (for grazia night)

The sun is shining, everybody is out at the park, the lido, the zoo, eating ice creams and generally having fun...who saw this coming, weren't there hailstones last week?!

Well, we always like to be prepared here at Carry Me Home, and have added a whole wardrobe full of fantastic treats to our website, just in time for the sunshine. There are bright, fun baby grows like the rainbow braces (mork from mork and mindy anyone?) and fabulous ruffle-y play suits covered in a ladybirds and butterflies print, which keep little ones looking and feeling cool in the heat. 

But the most popular by far has to be this Hawaiian play suit baby grow. It's got everything going for it...100% cotton, retro print...perfect for sunny days in the playground! (and there's even a shirt version in bigger sizes).

Of course, nothing says summer (although apparently it's still technically spring?!) than a lovely little dress. Below are a few of our current favourites, like the little Russian dolls (very Tinker, Tailor) and the chick-chick-chick-chick-chickens. Effortless style in the sun, and when your ice cream melts on your clothes just turn your dress inside out and turn that frown upside down!

And finally...

just a quick reminder that this Thursday 31st May is the annual summer Grazia/ Carnaby shopping party. If you've not been before, it's a great night out; from 5-9pm shops (including Carry Me Home) open their doors and offer 20% off. There's a bar in Kingly Court, and free goodie bags on offer. If you have been before I'm sure you don't need any persuading to come along again! :)

Register for your FREE ticket right here.

So, fingers crossed the weather lasts, and the sun keeps his Hawaiian play suit on! Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday! x

Seeing Double

As our facebook fans will know, we discovered this gem of a video on youtube today, which showcases some amazing twin sharing (super cute!).

Watching this got us all teary-eyed, but it also made us think of all of the perfect gifts for twins that we have in our Kingly Court baby boutique, and online.

 Like these fabulous Happy Accident Toys, who just like twins are similar but very different all at the same time.

Or how about one of our own designs, like the ever popular Cheeky Little Monkey or A Star is Born? You could even personalise them to make them that little bit more extra special. 

 

And for those special occassions, you really can't go wrong with a fantastic tuxedo baby grow or pearls dress. These have both proved so popular for weddings, we've got a pretty impressive waiting list for the black version of the tux!

Of course you don't have to be a twin to enjoy any of these things, but they do look super cute in pairs, and might solve any sharing issues that arise! ;)

rain rain go away, come again another day!

That's it!

Here at Carry Me Home we have officially had enough of this constant rain (although we do appreciate that it does help the drought situation!). It's nearly May...pull yourself together Mr. Weather!

So we've been singing the old classic 'rain rain go away, come again another day', with the help of our lovely wooden alphabet blocks, pictured above. They're available in our Kingly Court babies boutique.

Maybe with the help of the blocks the sun might appear soon :)

And when it does, we'll be ready, with this adorable hawaiian shirt, fit for all laid back, cool babies.

Come on sun, we don't want to wait to get out our summery lovely clothes!

It really is as easy as A, B, C, as some of our lovely bears are spelling out here, so come on everybody, one last time...

"Rain rain go away, come again another day!"

(fingers crossed)

The perfect match ...

Beautiful handmade dress vegetable material and the carry me home ' I don't like carrots ' bib ...x

playtime!

It's all fun and games this weekend at Carry Me Home!

With the excitement that was the Easter holidays drawing to a close we've really been appreciating how much fun all of our wonderful toys are.

We've replenished stocks of the wonderful wooden alphabet blocks, and we've just had a fresh delivery of lovely Olive and Moss rattles. There've been several customers waiting with baited breath for the return of a certain miss margot mouse. Let's just say, she a popular little lady!


For a touch of retro fun you can't go wrong with a classic card game, such as snap or heads and tails. The illustrations are lovely, they really make an excellent little gift.

And...we've also got some lovely new wooden jigsaws, featuring little pink bunnies and yellow birdies. They're a lovely present as once you've finished playing with them they look so sweet sitting on a shelf or a bookcase as decoration.

Let the fun commence! I think I'll start with a game of snap :)

Easter treats at Carry Me Home

Here at Carry Me Home we're getting a little too excited about the up and coming bank holiday weekend, and all of the lovely Easter-y chocolate we'll hopefully be tucking in to!

But then who can blame us for getting excited? We're surrounded in the shop by a whole host of delicious and delightful easter-themed baby gifts, that would make an ideal present for any little one.

Of course, we had to show you these 'I love chocolate so does my mum' bibs and babygrows; how Easter perfect are they? You could even get one personalised with the baby's or mum's names to make them extra special.

Or how about this rather seasonal, rather lovely little rabbit night light? Not only is he incredibly sweet, he makes the perfect Easter gift that will last all year round!

In other non-chocolate news (it makes a change for us!), we've just had a delivery of all of these beautiful new baby grows, baby and toddler t-shirts and playsuits. They're all designed and manufactured right here in the U.K. to the highest standards, and we are simply in love with all of them. You can find them all online now.

So whatever you end up doing on this lovely long weekend, have fun. And a very Happy Easter from Carry Me Home, x
