days of the week

It all started with a Friday Frill. 

Then, we had a Saturday Superhero...

And then, we thought why not have a Carry Me Home week?!

Because it's that time of year, when it's getting colder, and we're all catching colds, and it's too far to Christmas to get excited, but we want to be excited about something. So why not Carry Me Home week, where everyday is marked by a special little friend, item of clothing, room decoration or general object of loveliness.

And this is what we bring you...

 

 Monday- Margot Mouse. Banishing those blue Mondays away with her shy little smile, we're all happy to start the week with this little friend :)

Tuesday- Red Cord Trousers. Brighten up your Autumnal outfit with some brilliant red cords. Comfy, warm and very very fun.

Wednesday-Wallchart (available in pink, cream and blue). Because learning is fun, especially mid-week Wednesday learning.

Thursday- denim tunic. Comfortable, stylish, effortless (looks great with some giraffe tights). Ready for a Thursday play date

Friday- Fox jumper. Because it's nearly the weekend, and fun is to be had, mischief to be made. Friday is Fox day.

Saturday- Stars. Yay it's the weekend! Visiting grandparents? Going to birthday parties? Or just hanging out with mum and dad. Prove to everyone what a little super-star you are.

Sunday- stripes. It's been a busy week. Relax and kick back in some stripes. If you're feeling sleepy and have managed to get all your milk down you, no one will notice!

and if you're feeling confused about this whole days of the week thing, never fear...
EVERYDAY IS A DRESS DAY!!! (especially when they're reversible like these lovelies, you can wear them all week long!)

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

A walk on the wild side...

This week we have met lots of cute animals on our travels around town and in the shop! There have been cats, hamsters and guinea pigs and a trip to a donkey sanctuary. Even this morning on my journey to work a squirrel fell out of a tree and landed right in front of me. Luckily I don't think he was hurt, just a bit startled and embarrassed, he ran off very quickly!

In the shop we have a veritable zoo full of lots of lovely toys (Sam and Oliver the Whimsy Foxes shown above and a beautiful handmade Happy Accident elephant pictured below are just a couple of examples). There are also lots of printed dresses, baby grows and sets with a range of very cute and cuddly animals featured. There's something cool and unique for every young animal fan!

And... while the temperature is dropping and those squirrels are collecting nuts (or falling out of trees) in preparation for hibernating, little ones can stay snugly and warm throughout the winter months in these fun leopard print all-in-ones. There's even a fur lined hood for added cuddly-ness. As usual everything is available in the shop or on our website. Purr-fect!

London Calling

We've just received a brand new delivery of our best-selling telephone box and red bus lights, available again instore and on the website. Which got me thinking...

Lots of our products are made in the U.K and of course we design our own babygrows, bibs, hats and t-shirts right here in the shop, just off Carnaby Street. Carnaby Street itself is an iconic London destination, full of cool swinging sixties mod history. It's a pretty great place to be, there's always something going on (I walked out to get some lunch on Saturday to be met with a Zombie march!?) we're never bored!

Whether you're a day-tripper, a holiday maker or a born and bred Londoner, there's still nothing quite as cool for babies as rocking out London style with a rockbaby babygrow and union jack trousers, illuminated by some phone box lights!!
