Shnookies quilts- Blue T quilt

We decided the red quilt was just too girly! When our lovely friends announced that they had had a boy, we knew he needed a blue quilt.

Baby T lives in Melbourne, so we backed the quilt in flannel to make it warm and cosy.

He hasn't had a great first week, but we hope he is now on the mend. We hope our little blue quilt brings some hapiness and warmth to baby T and his parents.

Along with the quilt we are sending some of the cuddliest knitwear ever- Shnookies beanies and jackets! Check them out here....

Birthday gifts!

Here are some of the hand made gifts that were given for yesterdays special first birthday celebration! She loved them!

A pink corduroy dachshund, featuring Liberty of London fabric. (He's a bit chubby...)

A #1 bib to make sure everyone knows its her birthday!

A dress made from berry jersey and a lace trim refashioned from a special top of her mum's. The dress has a petticoat too (all little girls love them!).

A wonderful set of wooden food from Mooo. I lined the box with felt and made a drawstring bag to carry all the goodies around in.

A place setting for playing with the food- featuring felt cutlery and a quilted plate. Here is breakfast, lunch and some snacks all set out on the place setting!

All overseen, of course, by the sweetest cat ever. 

House love

Houses- such special places and such lovely shapes. Here are some house shaped treasures...

House shaped wall display units.

Sticky notes, made from recycled wood pulp.

House pillow. So sweet!

Dollhouse delight

The dollhouse- such a powerful childhood memory!

Is there anything better than creating a whole world, a life and a story for all of the dolls (real and imaginary) in their own house...

Here is a wonderful reworked vintage dollhouse, with colourful wallpapered rooms and a shingle roof.

All this house needs is a garden... Imagine the adorable miniatures and bonsais that could work.

What a wonderful butterfly corner! I always loved an attic space the best...

There is definitely a dollhouse renovation in the planning stages around here. We will be sure to post some before and after photos of the fun!

Muji love

How I love you Muji. Why won't you come to Australia? We need your simple, affordable, gorgeous Japanese everything.

Simple homewares

I cant get enough of the neutral colours and minimalist design. It's a little like Ikea, with homewares, furniture, storage as well as travel goods, clothing and food. But much more stylish and zen!

Muji products are streamlined, have very little packaging, are often recyclable and are unbranded. In fact, I'm told that Muji means 'without brand'!

Have you shopped at Muji? Do you feel the way I do?

Shnookies Afternoon Tea

We thought it was about time that we had another Shnookies afternoon tea. I'm thrilled that it was such a success. I can't wait for the next one!

I will unveil some of my new ranges for the next afternoon tea. I am focusing on cute outfits for the in-between months.

If you're in Sydney and are interested in coming to one of my afternoon teas, to view my range of Shnookies garments, just leave a message in the comments below.
