look at these

hello,Steven here. look at these lovely dresses we now have in the shop, the shapes are simple but the fabrics are too cute. whoever made them, must be super talented and quite attractive to look at with a perky wit and a snappy way with words.. yeah OK so i made them.. and what fun i had doing so, recently i have discovered some amazing places to find fabrics, and these are such ones that i found and had to buy.they are all reversible and have a contrasting gingham lining, all have french seams and are double hemmed so no unsightly over locked edges..all the dresses are either 6-12 months or 1-2 yrs in size, if you see one you like but not in the right size for you, just drop us a line and we will see what we can do.hope you agree that these really are brilliant, i love making them, but like selling themk better.

i love this week

hello, steven here.i just walked around the shop and thought how lovely it was all looking, it always does but sometimes it hits me unexpectedly, and as i was muttering, "i like you" and "oh you are nice" to things... (yes i talk to the products sometimes ?) i thought id share on here 5 of my favorite things.

this goldfish is such a lovely gift, it glows up when placed in water.

if i ever had a baby girl i would buy her a dresses like this, the shape is classic and simple but the fabrics are beautiful.

and i certainly know a few yummy mummies so this handmade brooch is perfect.
and in the shop we have some really lovely toys, and this little lady is one of the cutest,

and one of our best selling collections is always on my favorite list, and this babygrow is up there as a best seller.
for these and more favorites from carry me home, see our website , and make a list of your own.

houston we have a problem

or should i say we did..a major one too.. our shop computer just decided to crash and burn, and for about 4 weeks we had nothing to play with, no images to manipulate, no e mails to answer and no idea what went wrong ?...hence why our little blog has been neglected ..sorry blog ?...so we bought a new all singing all dancing computer..transferred all the old data to it and here we are again..blogging.

so whilst the computer was away we sure did keep ourselves busy . it was our turn in the courtyard window so me and the boss got our thinking hats on and rustled up another masterpiece, this time based upon an old ABC chart that we found.

and using products from the shop we filled the little space with a full on visual feast...possibly our best one yet..we put black and white copies all over the walls and floors and used colourful bits to indicate a letter..

we love blogger

so some months back we jumped ship and left blogger for an apparent better place..but i say blurghhhhhhh to that as blogger rules and is easily the best place to blog...well in my opinion it is...so we are back here after months of teething problems on another site...

fun in the window

so yesterday me and Gayle...also known as the boss, decided we needed a new window display to promote all the new goodies we have in the shop..we had the lovely idea of a rainbow effect using lots of ribbons, and hanging in the window one of our new dresses that has butterflies on it...and then Gayle would draw onto the glass more butterflies...well all was going very well until we had a momentary fit of giggles as we threw up into the air all the ribbons..just in for the aim of getting a good picture...and i think you will agree...we did that alright..

so after we stopped pretending to be rhythmic gymnasts we finished up and debated for a while if the rainbow arch was wonky or not....and then i used my engineering skills to suspend the dress whilst the boss got out her pens and drew all over the windows...guess who will be cleaning that off in a few weeks time ?...anyway i hope you agree we ended up with a lovely display...so if your around our way come in and see whats new..the shop is looking more colourful than ever...

my favorite thing..







I have so many things in my shop,but sometimes something will arrive,and I have to try really hard not to pop it straight in to my bag.
At the moment my favorite thing is this little cat, I can't really explain why, but when you hold him in your hand he just seems to fit,nice and snug, although I have a childrens shop I can tell you that alot of my toys are never seen by children,as there snapped up by adults,they can't explain why they just have to have them .
This little cat is handmade,and there's only one of him,he's looking for a good home that will love him as much as we do , If you think that's you ,drop us a line
