A spoonful of Swedish sugar

I think its time for a visit to the creative shores of Sweden. These images are from the always inspiring Swedish magazine Family Living.

Hiccups Babies at the Baby and Toddler Show

It was a very busy three days and my legs are killing me, but it was great to see the positive reaction to our new Hiccups Babies designs at the Melbourne Baby and Toddler show! 
Mia was one of the many little girls who decided to test out our new 'Bunny Patch' design.

Bunny Patch


Bunny Patch is a brand new design from our Hiccups Babies 2011 collection! 



The sun is shining brightly on this little corner of the garden. Fluffy white bunnies hop around, nibbling at ripe red strawberries and fresh green clover. Pretty butterflies flit and flutter above the beautiful spring blooms.





The Bunny Patch collection will be heading (or hopping...) into stores and our Hiccups Babies website in the next few weeks. The collection will also be on display at the Baby and Toddler show in Melbourne this weekend.

Hello Baby/Bebe

Here is a little dose of nursery decoration inspiration from the pages of Marie Claire Maison magazine. Just the right amount of sweetness I think!
If you are in Sydney this weekend, make sure you pop into the Hiccups Babies display at the Baby & Toddler Show for many more great nursery decoration ideas!

Spotlight on Little Bubble and Tree!


Kelly Parrish is the creator of the children's wear label Little Bubble and Tree.
I first met Kelly when she came to work in the Linen House design studio as a stylist for the Hiccups and Linen House bed linen range. A few years have passed since then, and now Kelly is the proud mother of two sons and a baby daughter (Marli was born just three months ago). 
Kelly's company Little Bubble and Tree is inspired by her love of printed and embroidered Indian textiles, and consists of a collection of playground wearable and harsh Australian summer sun friendly cotton clothing items and decorative accessories.


Kelly creates her necklace and decorative accessories collection when the kids have gone to bed!


In just a few years, the Little Bubble and Tree label has grown from a small collection of Kelly's signature children's kaftans, to a much larger offer that includes cotton dresses and pants, necklaces, and these gorgeous applique cushions which have been beautifully hand-crafted in India.

 
I love that hot pink peacock cushion!

Little Bubble and Tree products are now stocked widely in both brick and mortar stores around Australia, and in many online retailers around the world. 
Kelly is also a regular exhibitor at the burgeoning market scene in Australia - you can find her beautiful wares at the Magnolia Square markets which are regularly held in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
 A couple of months ago (with a newborn baby) Kelly manned a stand at the very gorgeous Life In Style exhibition at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. Take a look at her blog post here.
The photos in this post are a sneak peek of the new Little Bubble and Tree collection, beautifully photographed by Kelly's friend Pru from Little Bird Photography. I am sure you will agree that Kelly has a great eye for colour - those colourful cushions definitely put a smile on my face!

A visit to Bon Ton Paris


Bon Ton stores can be found in several locations around Paris and every single one of them is worth a visit. The newest addition to the Bon Ton family is Bon Ton Filles Du Calvaire, located just a few doors away from Merci. Picture a large cavernous space with polished concrete floors, filled with lovingly styled vignettes at every turn. 
The chic products on offer include clothing for babies and children, bedroom furniture, bed linens, cushions, books, toys and games, and a great selection of kitchen items for budding chefs. Magnifique!
