I've had lots of fun in recent weeks starting my collection of bits and bobs for baby.
Finally I have an excuse to buy Sophie La Girafe - I've wanted one for such a long time!
I was most impressed when I realised this lovely giraffe serves a purpose as well as being a little beauty to look at... William Morris would've approved! Might have to buy another, though, once little one gets his/her milk teeth into it...
Thought this rabbit nightlight would be nice and calming in those sleepless nights that await us...
A little library is growing nicely... a kind cousin gave us a lovely hardback version of this classic to start it off...
And then there's all my old picture books Mammy-dearest patiently kept, boxed up in the garage, for years and years...
I'm hoping to put them all in this wonderful bookshop-style bookcase by The Great Little Trading Co.
or maybe this one, if little'n turns out to be a girl...
I haven't purchased anything from Moulin Roty yet, but I find their little world very enchanting indeed...
Frenchie and I are both very lucky in having kind and thoughtful families. Lovely sister-in-law sent us over boxes full of gorgeous clothes and a Moses basket that's been passed down in his family for years and years.
And I hadn't realised I had such creative aunties until now... we've been inundated with beautiful handmade knitted cardigans, blankets, booties and even a little beret for le petit bebe!
There's something very special about a little baby wearing clothes that were made with love. They'll be very treasured, just like him/her.
