Present & Correct - Pick 'n' Mix Stamps

When I saw these on Present & Correct's tweet last night I knew i was in trouble! I am loving these Pic n Mix Stamps by Present & Correct (see my previous blog post about P&C here) that are doing the rounds at the moment.

They are only £3.75 each and I am seriously considering #1, #3, #5 and #12 (and maybe #16 while I am at it!)

(PS - I did end up ordering them!!! stay tuned for lots of stampy goodness!)

Crochet Blankets from Little Indigo

Crocheting is definitely not on my list of skills (nor my mothers for that matter). For those of you that are in the same boat as me - you can always get one of these gorgeous "and the little dog laughed" crochet blankets from Little Indigo. Measuring 90 cm x 90 cm they are perfect for cots, prams or bed throws - and at only $65 each - they are perfect for that newborn present.

Little Indigo have so many other lovelies in store - check them all out here

Etsy Find - Fabric Books by Pilosale

I just had to share these beautiful books by Pilosale on Etsy. As describe by Pilosale "the cover is 100% linen lined with organic fleece and is embroidered in chocolate brown numbers. the pages are made with cream eco felt pages made from recycled pop bottles and are printed with hand drawn images to count from 1 to 12 . hand washable"

These books would make a perfect special present for baby showers, christenings, first birthdays, or just because you love them

Kikki-K - I should have known better

I had a most unfortunate incident yesterday afternoon – I discovered a new Kikki-K store in my local shopping centre. I tried my hardest to refrain from entering, but the bright lights and red and white decorations lured me in. I may or may not have purchased a “drawn wooden alphabet stamp set”. Some of the lovelies on offer at Kikki-K at the moment:
